Starting a Lot of Things Over

I had to retire my old email address: larsumms@pacbell.net. Yahoo told me to upgrade. Their software bungled it, creating an intolerable position, and they would not help me. Too bad for them. I was slowly getting off their services anyway - Google is better. This was the last straw. So now my email is larsumms@gmail.com. I kept the first part, because all my WWW IDs start wth that. I probably should have changed them all to lasummers, which I like more. Too late.

I already had an account with Google's BLOGGER under the email larsumms@pacbell.net. Google would not let me combine the blogs under one account, and it doesn't like the fact that I use both accounts simultaneously.

So I have decided to abandon all my old blogs. They will exist, but I won't do much to maintain them anymore.

Lots is changing. I think I finally got my Blood Pressure under control after 2 months. It got up to 188/86. I have had two days of low 120s, so that looks good.

I have begun exfoliating my scalp, especially the ears. I have always had a lot of dandruff, but now it is easier to get to it (since I have shaved my head).

I have decided to be happy.

I have been working out 4 days a week - cardio for 30 minutes. I am going to start doing it every day, so I don't have to keep a "count" or remember if I have done it enough this week, etc.

I got depressed this week about loneliness/women. When I was single the first time, and at BYU, surrounded by nice women, I still got a lot of rejection and was very lonely. This happened even though the ratio of women to men were 3 to 1. Not sure why, but it was of course due to who I am - or how I presented myself. I did eventually find someone. It will happen again. It's like the beginning of the movie: Hitch. I like who I am, and I am not going to de-emphasize parts of myself to get attention. In fact, I am going to emphasize the parts that I think LDS women don't like. I want a woman who wants me because I am Insanity Claus, not because I wear a suit on Sunday and fit the standard profile of "Active LDS".
