I want to tell you something - I read. I am a big fan of the written word and I also write too, as you can see. I have an enormous Amazon.com wish list that is dedicated solely to the books that I want. I even have a separate Amazon.com wish list for books on how to develop better writing skills. And looking at some of the books on my general wish list, you can generally get a feel for what I want to study in this point of my life. Right now, I am interested in enhancing my feminine image and thus, I have added tons of books about such a subject, among with other books which have words to memorize and odd trivia, which would be interesting to know. But my Amazon.com is largely unedited and since people rarely purchase anything for me on it, it serves my purpose of bookmarking a list of “books to purchase”.

I bought myself a one litre bottle of Dr. Pepper and started drinking it. And I noticed from that moment on, my headache started to go away. I have a caffeine addiction and I was experiencing the painful symptoms of Caffeine withdrawal. Continue reading ‘Withdrawal is a bitch!’
Now, as you know - I am a transsexual whose biggest ambitions in life are to transition and become a writer and a professor at a University. However, there is all the flotsam about self-esteem and appearance that really bothers me. And right now, the one thing I can do to improve my self-esteem and appearance is to lose weight. Since I weigh about 200 lbs and have a ‘beer belly’, this is something that needs to be improved. So, I am planning to start attending Bikram yoga courses and I have contacted the Bikram yoga college in Westminster. So far, it seems like the best deal in the Denver/Boulder corridor ($50 a month for the first month, $50 for the second month if you can make 25 courses in the first 30 days that you paid for and $130 thereafter).
