Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 2)

We just finished the tyrant series last night actually. It was awesome but was the worst culprit for the aforementioned audio issues :neutral_face:

A job I’m applying to requires that I submit a non-academic writing sample. I’m going back and reading some of the stuff I’ve written and I actually think some of them are pretty good (or at least didn’t make me cringe) :thinking:

I tried in-ear monitors at band practice last night and fully understand why every professional artist uses them. Singing is so much easier when you’re not screaming to hear yourself…

I confess that…

every time I set up for dumbbell incline presses, I pretend I look like this

I hold the dumbbells the exact same way and, for that brief moment, that’s exactly what I look like until it all falls apart.

I also confess that, if you aren’t eating these, you aren’t anabolic

I confess that I bought more protein powder even though I REALLY don’t need any. I barely use it these days.

And I confess that I’m unreasonably excited that it’s July yet all the stores nearby are already carrying fall flavors. Bring on the pumpkin spice.

I confess I believe I am big enough now…maybe.

Or maybe not, we’ll see.

Thanks for the heads up. I’m about to get more anabolic.

I’ve been using McCormacks pumpkin spice and a quarter tsp. vanilla extract in my mashed sweet potatoes.

It’s goooood.

Oh my that sounds amazing. I already like sweet potatoes as is.

But yeah, those PB lover cups are no joke. I’m upset my grocery store already stopped selling them to make room for Halloween candy…even though I’m excited to see Halloween candy already.

I was watching The Movies that Made Us season 2 and the episode on Back to the Future inspired me to watch the movie. I confess that I did not enjoy it at all

I was never much of a fan either. Not crazy about Michael J. Fox or any of his performances. Teenwolf, Back To The Future, blah.

Whoa, whoa,whoa……

How can anyone NOT enjoy the 80s hijinks displayed in that most iconic movie….

Maybe you didn’t get some of the references, it is a pretty dated movie, and like all pop culture, it plays to a specific point in time.

You @SkyzykS , however…you don’t get a pass on this…

I’m with @SkyzykS on this one. The first movie isn’t very good and the sequels are worse.

How can it stand with the other classics from the 80s like Terminator, Rocky IV etc…

No hope for the future :sob::sob::sob::sob:
You have to remember these are the people that read all that ā€œnerdy meatheadā€ stuff for fun, and still don’t know how to build a flux capacitor :rofl:

It’s not for lack of nerdy trying that we haven’t pulled that one off yet.

I confess I’m still a child.

I’m working 2 12s in a row. I don’t get to spend much time with my kiddo on these days, so I recruit them into my meal prep so that we can get quality time together AND I can get ready for my next shift. My kid has done this for a while now, and they’re dialed in to exactly what I need. We’re a great team. One of the regular features in my work meals is ā€œbackpack snacksā€, which includes some dark chocolate, peanut butter cups, and a split of macadamia nuts and pecans.

Normally, my job for the kid is to sort through the nuts and find my 6 ā€œwholeā€ ones of each. Basically ones that aren’t broken. I already had a big ziplock full of them in my backpack this time, so I tell the kid ā€œYou don’t need to worry about the nuts this time: I already have them packed.ā€

They reply ā€œOh, so this time I don’t have to look for your nuts?ā€

I do my best to keep my composure. ā€œNo little one: today you do not need to look for my nutsā€

If my wife rolled her eyes any harder, they’d have left her skull.
