I love both parts of this confession.
Building is awesome. Time spent not building sucks. But being an adult sadly means having to take that time not building so that the time spent building is more productive.
But whenever Iām not building, all I do is read about eating big, haha.

Confession: I watched the latest marvel film about the 10 rings. Iām not sure I get it. The rings are cool and stuff. But the whole āGod like powersā? Dude spider man and climb walls and Hulk can throw tanks. Those are Much better power sets.
You know what; Kung Fu ring guy vs John Wick. My money is on the man with a gun and a steady aim.
Ps yes Im aware the film down graded the rings.

lol, I donāt have too many hobbies other than lifting and guitar, and Iād never ask anyone to spend that kind of money on me. I always end up gifting myself something around the holidays so when people start asking me what I want, my response is "nothing, I already bought itā¦ "
Iām coming to realize this haha. I thought itād be cool to hit some PRs but I just feel lazy. Sure, the assistance stuff can be challenging but it just doesnāt compare.
I get why a little break is necessary though. I needed a breather and in theory this will help me judge my working weights and how badly itās going to suck the next building portion.
And in my case, buying a ton of amazing meat, when I already have another 20lbs coming in a month haha.
Thanksgiving is the perfect opportunity to gorge dude! The timing is spot on!

Iāll step up and take one for the team. Iāve had a good run at not smashing one of these by my self with a couple glasses of milk, but at least itās for a good causeā¦
Edit: Was I too quick with that? I might have been. I dunno.

Itās a scientific fact that those are the optimal fuel for a strongman competition.
But you run into the issue that, if you bring along little ones, theyāll eat ALL OF THEM before you even get one right before itās time to hit up the yokeā¦

I break out stuff like that for the little ones then yell āOK, now run out into the yard and hit each other with sticks!ā.
Because Fate.

My favorite Steven Wright joke goes āWhen I was a kid, my grandfather gave me a box of broken glass for Christmas. He gave my brother a box of band-aids. Then he said ānow you two kids shareā.ā

Oh some confessionsā¦
I confess that, despite it being āburger nightā tonight, and despite me BEING the chef of said burgers, and despite me having several bison burgers in my freezerā¦I will be eating fish based burgers. A salmon patty, and a mahi mahi one.
I also confess that I am EXCITED about my workout tomorrow. Why? Because it will be a weighted vest walkā¦and thatās it. I plan to do it fasted, and to take as long as Iām allotted to do it and listen to some podcasts and just enjoy the crisp early morning/late evening air. Absolutely not hardcore.

LOL. Just last night, I had to pry myself away from the assorted boxes of KrispyKreme crullers at Walmart.
Have you (or anyone) tried those? Are they any good, any resemblance to the fresh version?
They are the manky stripper at that place on the outskirts of town of pastries. They lure you in with promises of sweetness and satisfaction then break your heart with the (straight up heart grease) stark reminder of things that should not be as you toss the evidence of their consumption out the window on the way home.
Or so Iām told. I avoid stuff like that.
I confess Iām impressed by your linkage of boxed KrispyKreme crullers to strippers.

Yup. Some of them are expensive because like sharkās fin soup, youād have to catch and kill a shark just for the fucking fin. For something like fresh pigās blood soup served in a classy restaurant, theyād have to kill a pig and will not use the other parts if there arenāt any specific orders requiring them on the same day.
Obviously, you can get the cheap versions in supermarkets since the producers would have used the whole pig for their other products. Shit, they even used to sell dog meat vacuum sealed in plastic packages in these places 20 years ago. A friend from Beijing brought it over after the school holidays. One of our friendās dad owned a small, open air restaurant and we regularly had dinner there while waiting for his shift to end so we just gave it to their cook.
Our Beijing friend first insisted that it had to be served raw with ice but no one could stand the taste lol. Then he took it back and fried it on a hotplate with ginger and spring onions and it tasted almost exactly like venison but the texture was a lot smoother than any similar dish cooked this way like venison, beef and pork. I donāt really care for texture but itās almost the same as a $200 plate of Wagyu beef so I guess thatās why itās popular amongst people who dig that shit.
This is probably mostly a confession that Iāve eaten dog meat
BUT, FTR, even if I didnāt have moral issues with it (I ate it because it was there, the dog was already dead so the least you can do is consume it so itās death wouldnāt be wasted and refusing it to dissuade others from doing so in the future wouldnāt be required since there was not going to be any chance of any of us eating it again locally as the ban on it was so strict there was no such thing as even illegal dog meat stalls since I had already moved to where I live now), Iād much rather have a steak or venison if cooked and served on a hotplate.
And, unlike abalone, I really canāt taste the difference between real and imitation sharkās fin soup. I have refused real sharkās fin soup even though it offended one of my clients but after explaining my case, he respected my POV. That shit has to stop.
I donāt think this was ever a thing in China, but in S.E Asia, people would sell tiger dicks in Chinese Medicinal shops because it was used as a āmedicationā for impotency or to improve sex drive LMAO. Theyāve now been banned in most countries in the region.
And if you guys and gals in the West get offered REAL Birdās Nest Soup, hereās a warning about what youāre really eating before you do so:
Itās bird SALIVA.
Itās expensive because of the difficulty of the harvesting process.
The imitation stuff tastes MUCH nicer anyway. You probably have that shit sold in supermarkets in cans. Pretty delicious. Sweet stuff with little bits that feel like jelly.
Iām trying to figure out what dog breed taste the best.
I confess I didnāt get any of the comic book stuff. because Iāve NEVER read a single comic from Marvel or DC so I never knew much about any of the characters in any of the Superhero movies either.
I also confess that I didnāt even know that IRONMAN was a comic book character when I watched the RDJ movie. I thought he was from a cartoon series or something. I even āinvestedā in a Punisher #75 comic because someone told me it will rise in value in a few years because of reasons I canāt remember when I was in my early teens but I never even opened it up. Who the fuck is Shang Chi LMAO?
The thing I loved about the Shang Chi movie was it was filmed like a HK movie before Hollywood and China started poaching the great HK directors to make movies for them. Most of them sucked. It would, however, have been something I would have written off as mundane and forgettable during the heyday of HK cinema.
I let John Wooās Hard Target slide since it was kinda like one of the sillier HK movies but well made but then some bastard who should burn in hell brought in Ringo Lam to make Maximum Risk. Then they brought in Tsui Hark to make Black Mask 2 and I wanted to write a letter to the CCP requesting that they nuke the fucking US.
Then China also got in on the action when their fucking movie industry started booming.
Which brings me to another confession. Stephen Chowās The Mermaid, a China production, literally made me want to cry because it was made like some noob hack trying to make a Stephen Chow movie.
Taking of Tiger Mountain wasnāt bad but when a fucking genius like Tsui Hark makes a movie, you donāt expect NOT BAD. You expect either something that will completely blow your mind like The Blade or a spectacularly bad but ambitious failure like Double Team (that movie starring Van Damme and Dennis Rodman).
The only exceptions were John Wooās Face Off, which IMHO is one of the greatest B grade movies with an A grade budget ever made and Dante Lamās Operation Red Sea. And Ronny Yuās Freddy vs Jason and Bride of Chucky for people who like ābadā movies.
Probably Chow.
They make nice hats too.
