Hurricane Irene.
Category: disasters
This massive hurricane is headed directly to NYC, Long Island and New Jersey. I am more than a bit worried. My brother is in zone A - categorized as the most flood and storm-prone in the city and likely faces evacuation this weekend.

Baruch College 155 E. 24th Street, HS of Graphic Comm. 439 W. 49th Street and John Jay College 445 W. 59th Street are the nearest evacuation centers. His building has already sent out an emergency preparedness notice.

All this is making me really nervous. I am desperately hoping that this hurricane changes direction and is somehow deflected well away from the whole NYC region. :(

Hmm :::link:::

"We could go to a shelter," she said, "but you don't feel safe leaving your own home because you don't know what you're coming home to, if you are coming home to anything."

Let's hope it's not going to be that bad!

I hope the hurricane is just a bad storm. This is making me sick to my stomach. I think in times such as these you realize how much family means to you. In my case, he is pretty much my whole family 99% of the times.

The evacuation notice is official.

Mayor Bloomberg has ordered a MANDATORY EVACUATION of Zone A citywide and the Rockaway Peninsula. All or part of your zip code is under an evacuation order. Please refer to OEM's Hurricane Evacuation Zone Finder at :::link::: You may also contact 311 to find out if you need to evacuate.

It's not lent but...
Category: goals
A chain of rants in (e:metalpeter,55007) make me want to throw down this self-improvement challenge.

I am ready to
a) give up salt for however long it takes
b) start doing push-ups all over again everyday for however long it takes

if someone else wants to give up something or take up something with me and be accountable for that here. It has to be something that is causing you harm or is damaging your life or is negatively influencing your life to some extent.

Too much salt and not enough muscle definitely are negative influences on mine.

Who is up for this little last-quarter goal-setting?

metalpeter - 08/24/11 16:40
Does Giving up the lack of sex, drugs and rock-N-roll on a daily basis count?

On a more serious note on the push up thing Not sure if they are harder or not I think it is less hard because you are not fighting gravity there is something called a wall push up..... You might want to look it up and see what experts say about it and what muscles it works. Picture A standard push up but feet are on the floor you lean into the wall and use your arms to push you back and then into the wall...... back from my athlete days I remember there where things you could do with your hands and that altered some how what muscles you where using... I hate push ups by the way... Just something you might want to look into ....

By salt you mean you won't add it to things.... Cause everyone needs a little bit.....

Definitely an earthquake
Category: buffalo
I felt it and I thought, wow the wind must really be picking up in Buffalo. Guess it was really an earthquake and not just the building showing its age and resonating with the wind.



LOL@ this comment on the story:

Soon to be former Buffalo schools superintendent James Willians was seen jumping up & down in a temper tantrum b/c he could not get anyone to help pack his belongings...



Seriously, do people stalk the Buffalo news site just to post stuff like this? Hahah

metalpeter - 08/23/11 16:32
I have heard well not with this story things get a bit crazy over there that is why they made it so they have your real name.....
