this guy is a cock

i'm sorry for the lack of updates. what with vacation, TheMom going into and out of the hospital, and the holidays, i've gotten quite busy (and a bit lazy). i will be posting to PTVR this week as well. i was going to add this guy (and still might), but i wanted you to see it first.

this guy claims to be pretty much the strongest man in the world bless by allah. i say claims because he's "afraid" of doing any displays because people might get hurt. he can't work because his fellow workers might feel inadequate. this guy knows some people who've pulled some strings to show him off as some sort of miracle of islam, when, it's quite more likely he's a fat slob on the egyptian version of jerry springer. i'm guessing egyptians have never seen fake coins. until he can prove his strength, i say he's a dickhead further weakening the true meaning of islam for his own publicity.

out of commission for a while

i have LOADS of stories and pictures and great times i had on vacation, but that will have to wait. the vacation was cut short because TheMom was in such a hurry for me to come home, she went and had a heart attack. she's currently at TheOhioStateUniversityHospital (possibly the longest NT name ever) where we are camping out to see how things go. i'm sure there will be loads of support since TheMom is so cool, and we appreciate it. updates as they come. until then...
