My gym didn’t really get a lot more crowded after New Year until this week. Much more eye candy lately. Today while I was squatting there was a gorgeous, tiny Asian woman doing hip thrusts in front of me. Wonderful and very motivating. Then she finishes and just completely gives fuck all about putting the weights away. Big plates on little plates. Little plates on big plates. Amazing how ugly that can make someone look.

I’m not sure what that means.

The anniversary of joining TN.

Edit: oooooh, more than 20 years ago!

Oh! I found the site in September of 1999. Been around a long while.

Have decided I’m going to start doing all of the big muscle groups twice a week instead of once as of next week. Chest/Back/Bis then Legs/Shoulders/Tris each twice a week. I’m gonna have to start getting up a little earlier (around 4:25) and I won’t be able to snooze at all, even if I’m having a really good dream (that’s why I usually snooze). I do think I need a little bit more volume though to force some growth. Been doing basically the same thing for a long time now.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it?

– OR –

Change is good?

Either way, you win. Keep up the good work!

When does your wife get out, doogie?

No exact date yet. The Bureau of Prisons is not exactly the best run government department. SHOULD be end of this year or January of next. But the BOP holds people longer than they should according to the First Step Act and Second Chance Act. The new Director of the Justice Department says getting them in line is a top priority, but who knows?

Oy, still a long time. I’m sorry.

I mean, which dept is well run? Other than the vacuum money out of citizens department.

I have to write a letter to the IRS in Kansas City, notifying them of a business name change. A LETTER. Wtf? Why is this not easily done online in one minute? Is Big Stamp running this show?

It took 16 weeks to get my passport renewal after I mailed (again with the jackbooted thugs at the post office) everything they needed, including the old passport.

I swear I could probably have a pair of custom shoes hand cobbled and delivered in 2 weeks. The government, man. SAD.

Wasn’t feeling the squats at all, so backed off before I threw out my old-man back. I’ll still probably lock up later on today sitting at work.
