Weightlifting

Sometimes there’s a meathead guy that lives inside the regular guy and they are both me but the meathead one feels silly because of how the regular guy lives on the outside and you can see where that is going.

But no for real my muscles are just hiding in a way that is deceptive. I can make them happen if I turn off my humble patrol meme that I have.

Anyway, that meathead guy hates those toe-shoe Vibrams and you know that about him and another thing he knows is don’t bring coffee to the gym, buddy!

For real it’s a weird thing and that guy who did both made my alarms happen this morning.

Good reason to post on this for you.

Hey so I was busy waking up this morning and sometimes I make my Android friend do that to me and my Android friend is my mobile telephone.

That’s a telly to you Englands.

Well it makes a sound and then I am going, “Oh man what is that noise I am so startled,” and start knocking over lamps and especially that one lamp I hate that one because of the shade on it always being dusty.

When I find my little friend I hit the button and slide him across the floor so I can get a little more rest and that’s maybe like eight more minutes that I want.

Yep I did that today except at the end of the slide that the phone did the screen lit up like a Ghostbusters trap and made a Ghostbusters noise and caught a ghost for me and that was a Herbert Hoover ghost and he invented the vacuum cleaner.

History is good for you don’t be afraid.

“What a great app and that would be a great app even if it didn’t really catch ghosts,” is what I thought and now I am sharing.

They should make that app but only for phones that can slide like my buddy does.

Oh and if you were wondering yep Hugh Jackman is taking the whole fall to make his veins pop again so those veins can be there for him in Here Comes That Guy Wolverine Again.

If they called it that I would buy the download and the DVD and the Blue-ray and I would do that the first day they were out and also I would see it in the theater just so I could ask for tickets to Here Comes That Guy Wolverine Again when everyone else is just being meek with their, “One for Wolverine, please. I am lonely.”

Why is that belt in the picture. lol

I haven’t been able to practice my cardiovascular fitness and weightlifting this week because of how the doctor did cutting on me last Friday.

You know how that one gets my sadness to kick in in a way that is big, but then some cheer came and tried to help me, and you are maybe the one who did that?

Examples are how you know I love Presidents but maybe not like this one from @ZeroKNS that came with the mailman on his visit yesterday:

That seems like a fun controversy about who is more popular in the clouds.

Also sometimes remember my old business turtlecalls.com and now there are people like @MayKat33 doing politics to make it keep trying to happen with arts and crafts:

Then some YOU CAN HAVE SELF-VALUE warmed over me and I made this one for myself:

So hopefully today my physician will take an attitude that’s more like GET BACK TO WORKING YOUR BICEPS, GUY.

I was talking this weekend with a book reader, and the book they had read was mine.

This was my first book – the one where I admit I’m deceptively muscular.

They were like, “what does that mean” to me in their live broadband video note, and I was wearing a baggy sweatshirt so I showed them this picture.

“Is that even the same guy,” is what their face meant to say, and then they wanted to know some famous people who maybe had this condition, also.

Joel McHale took his shirt off on Community and now he has a DM trophy. Ben Affleck could be DM if he wanted to.

Ryan Reynolds was DM until he just started having his shirt off all the time, which made it undeceptive.

That’s the big-time temptation of being DM. There’s an urge to let everyone know, like how I put in that hazy picture above or how the Force goes bad guy for some people in Star Trek.

Also me and Joel (and Christian Bale sometimes) work really hard to get like this so if you’re naturally muscular or (especially) blatantly muscular, you’re boring.

Go to the dog pound!

I am really having the crazy day this time on my dot com blog. lol

(This is my outgoing mail today.

Yes, I’m giving away the Simmons basketball book. It was fine, but my time with it is now complete.

Also, this picture happened with a pseudo-Polaroid Android app.)

So I was at the gym yesterday getting ready to make my muscles happen some more, and as I opened my gym bag, I realized I hadn’t put anything in it.

There was just one stray weightlifting glove – I never use these cause I’m a tough man – and a pair of old ePod headphones.

There were no workout pants and/or shorts.

I had a t-shirt on, so no problem there. But I also had on jeans.

I sat in there contemplating what to do for about 15 minutes. I took off my shirt while I did this so anyone who walked in would think I was in the middle of changing, and also so I could do my narcissism I like to have sometimes.

Ultimately I decided to drive away in my car to someplace to buy some pants, and then came back to the gym.

I crawled in so the staff wouldn’t have deja-vu and get scared about how their minds worked.

Have you ever worn casual clothes to the gym.

SpaethOkay so the other day I posted that stuff about how the dude couldn’t see the moon because of the workout supplement he was taking.

I guess I was confused, because @The_Real_LLC read it as the guy just couldn’t see the sky or something.

The one thing I know for sure is that this guy’s log of his experience is amazing.

Some more:

Vision side effect, I went to bed I couldn’t see a thing, the window blinds were open and there was light outside, but whatever spot I looked at it went dark but I could see from the side of my eye, for example if I looked at the widow directly there was nothing, but as soon as I rotated my eyeballs away from the window I could see it clearly.

my biceps are sore more than ever and I am loving it.

That last sentence is an LOL for sure, but I still don’t understand how this works.

i just got back driving over one hour at night, a little uncomfortable because all the incoming headlights looked yellow tinted and was confusing especially looking in the rear view mirror

Seriously – I thought in the other entry he couldn’t see when he was looking at something?

PS. I didn’t get enough sleep last night due to the energy drink, so I felt really tired today and somewhat lightheaded, but tomorrow is chest day and I’m ready to rip it up

Oh.

i went outside while the lights were off and tripped over a chair, it hurt like son of a b—h, even my son who was walking with me looked at me like (how in the hell you didn’t see that chair!)

Kids are so silly – don’t they know daddy is getting big and strong.

just wanted to report about my vision, the moon was so bright last night according to my wife, she said the whole room was lit, well i couldn’t see a thing, i couldn’t even see where the window was

This next one is also interesting, although not vision-related.

The new [redacted] tastes different, kind of like fiberglass glue, not that I tasted fiberglass glue, but it tastes like the smell of fiberglass

: /

Whatever – regardless of whether this stuff works, I need to understand how this vision side effect works. It seems there’s not just a problem with the moon, but also with seeing windows.

Should I try this stuff or not? I’m still waiting for Mommy to get in touch telling me not to – she may have stopped reading the blog again.

Awesome New Supplement

by Brian on January 11, 2010

in Drugs,Health,WTF,Weightlifting

Calvin StadiumsAs you may or may not know, long ago I was a personal trainer, a brief gig that sprung mainly from my love for health and fitness.

During that time, I tried probably every nutritional supplement possible, and even now continue to keep an eye on the newer stuff coming, some of which might be deemed “borderline legal”.

It’s rooted in a longing I have to be offered a role where they’re like, “This pays a lot of money and it’s yours, but we need you to put on 20 pounds in two months.”

When that happens, I’ll call and apologize to my mom, then speed-race to the nearest steroid dealer I can track down with more excitement than anyone has ever done anything with.

Anyway, there’s an interesting product swirling around that surely will be banned sooner rather than later.

Perusing a message board where some people are trying it out, apparently there’s a small vision-based side effect that accompanies the ingestion of said product.

Here are some posts made by users.

Occasional blurred vision side [effects] are still something that will have to be taken in account till there is a sure fire way to either stop it or lower the chance of getting it.

Slight and occasional blurring. Annoying, but somewhat mild really.

I did have a blurred vision. It wasn’t much but I remember having to concentrate more to focus on things. I also had a vision sides during the day – yellow tint, color cycling and a definite blurring.

What.

i don’t think any of us experienced blurred vision, we only lost the ability to see farther at night; we could only see where the light was aiming at. also it took longer to adjust from light to dark places, and at night we couldn’t see the sky even with a full moon.

Oh.

God.

BUT DID IT MAKE YOU BIG AND STRONG.

V Marc SingerI spent about an hour and a half yesterday watching the marathon of the two original V miniseries on SyFy while I worked.

When I was done with that, I stopped pretending to get work done, and instead embraced my wild nostalgia for the subsequent 8.5 hours.

After that, I went and read the recaps of the single season of the regular TV series.

It wasn’t until I reached this synopsis of the last episode that I realized what a profound effect this franchise had on my work, particularly the type of writing I’ve been doing for about the past year.

When Diana learns that Mike and Philip have agreed to a friendly fencing exhibition, she orders James to make sure the swords are deadly — instead of unarmed exhibition weapons, Mike and Philip will use swords charged with nuclear disintegrators.

Now, if that doesn’t sound like it’s right out of my Brad Radby book or my Saved By the Bell Begins, I don’t know what does.

After reading that, I couldn’t help it, and started watching the episodes on thewb.com – particularly because of the way Marc Singer’s Mike Donovan embraces the action jump, the action run, the action ladder-climb, the action casual walk, and the action going-out-to-dinner.

Those of you who have seen 2WO G2N G2Y – which is nobody – would be as shocked as I am to see I’m basically doing Mike Donovan in that role.

You can watch some choice Donovan clips right here.

Oh, and if you’ve read my Prelude to a Super Airplane book, you know that the V screengrab at the start of the post was also good for a mild heart attack.

What is your favorite kind of action thing to do and when was the last time you did it.

Calvin Stadiums basketball(This blog called Steady Burn caught wind of some WSM? rumblings, saying it appears to be a “sort of irreverent and haphazard production”. If that’s not accurate, I don’t know what is.)

So I’m supposed to be writing exactly what you want me to for the next 12 posts, plus Becky will be 13.

But…I haven’t been able to work out since the surgery. All I can do is take these 30 minute walks that do nothing. My brain is days away from complete shutdown.

Wednesday I’m cleared to at least go on the elliptical machine, and that should spur genuine sweat/breathing/heart-rate acceleration – hopefully things start functioning again.

In the meantime, what more could you want than @jerryricetwo?

YO MAH PICTURE A BOOTY HELICOPTER NOW!!! LOL!!! say a voicemail at it

DAM JUDE LAW GET OUT MAH SOFA wtf bro this night over

JUDE LAW THINK HE ON CSI MEAN HE SLEEPIN ON MAH SOFA?? WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT??? brb

@trilby_dare YO I PUT SKY CAPN ON DAT TV AND JUDE LAW GOT OUTY FIVE MAH SOFA LOL!!!! omg he still drunk

DIS JUDE LAW AINT MAH FRIEND EVER AGAIN NOOOOOOOOOOO

Is Jude Law actually inside his sofa, or is that just the slang/vernacular? Even I don’t know.

JRtwo’s like my little personal Pinocchio – I just want him to be a real boy. :(

How would you go about getting a passed out Jude Law off your sofa? If these jokes were exactly the same, but I didn’t reveal that they actually came from Twitter, would that solve GOt’s problem? Answer all these questions for me – mah life!

(Follow me on Twitter here. This page has a new picture of my shoulder.)
