The Jewmanist

Bob Kowalski has tagged me. In case you weren’t aware:

- Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
- People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
- At the end of your blog post, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
- Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

So do list yet another set of random facts? Or just link over to my previous ones?

This meme machine is becoming something like a religion! LOL.

Why do atheists refer to any god as “God”? Is it the brainwashing early on that makes us continuing to do such things? Raised Jewish, I was always told to use “G-d”; you can’t write down such a holy name that you possibly may eventually throw out. Silly, I know. I stopped the bad habit all throughout middle and high school, only to creep back on me in college for a reason unbeknownst to me. Non-Jewish friends had no idea why this was done. I tried to explain and then realized Why am I reverting back to old and bad habits? It’s like saying “Thank God”; some things become ingrained. I admit I went in and out of using “G-d” even when I was script or story writing a character saying “oh my god!”

Perhaps Cheney would be interested in this:

The first U.S. study to transplant a potent form of purified adult stem cells into the heart muscle of patients with severe angina provided evidence that the procedure is safe and produced a reduction in angina pain as well as improved functioning in patients’ daily lives, reports the lead researcher at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine. 

And it in the U.S. Wow! Here’s more:

Within three to six weeks after the severe angina patients were injected with their own stem cells, many who used to experience pain just from walking to the refrigerator, now only had pain when they climbed two flights of stairs. 

This is the first human trial in which patients’ own purified stem cells, called CD-34 cells, were injected into their hearts in an effort to spur regrowth of small blood vessels that constitute the microcirculation of the heart muscle. Researchers believe the loss of these blood vessels contributes to the pain of chronic, severe angina.

I’ve been tagged by No More Hornets. The following rules should explain the new blog meme.

• We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
• Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
• People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
• At the end of your blog post, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
• Don’t forget to leave them each a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Here are my eight random facts:

1. I can say it like it is online but can be rather quiet in person.
2. I went to school to study film and creative writing (emphasis on short stories). But I do production finance for TNT/TBS Originals. And do graphic/web design for fun (on the side)!
