I confess that one of my pet names for my kid is “rockstar”. Whenever I wanna express how proud of them I am, I call them a rockstar.
However, given I’m a total energy drink addict, I sometimes wonder about the implications of such a statement. Is this like a junkie calling someone their heroin? “You are my cocaine!”
Hey wait, relevant Nine Inch Nails
I also confess that I chose not to push the prowler this morning due to fear of being struck by lightning. This, of course, is a silly fear to have, because it’s been demonstrated historically that the Juggernaut can easily withstand the full force of the god of thunder
(Couldn’t find a decent comic scan, but trust me: it was epic)
I confess the only Nine Inch Nails song I’ve heard was the one with David Bowie unless Trent Reznor’s minor participation in some songs by other artistes count, which means I’ve heard more Marilyn Manson than Nine Inch Nails. I think this amounts to heresy.
LOL. Alright, the guitar tone really sounds like the one from that song about “not having enough middle fingers” by Manson IIRC. I can’t even remember the title but it was the first track from the Antichrist Superstar album.
I confess I can’t listen to songs with these kinds of lyrics anymore. Catholic guilt has made a comeback in full force.
It’s worth appreciating that it comes from a concept album. It’s not Trent’s personal philosophy coming through, but that of a character that is going through “The Downward Spiral”.
Fun fact: I listen to that album in full whenever I start a new program. I’ll be doing it again soon with Deep Water.

I might get to go back to a proper gym on Tuesday and I’m definitely nervous.
Granted, it’s a 3mile walk along a sketchy road… but I’m more nervous about being IN the gym
Also, I just realized there’s a women’s gym 2.4 miles from the house along a less sketchy road. They have barbells but don’t have a squat rack and is $20 more expensive.
I confess I’m tempted to go there instead of walking the three miles to Crunch fitness @cyclonengineer what do you think?
Yeah, I even get that the word “antichrist” and similar allusions to “religion” used by some artistes like Manson really aren’t even about religion but, rather, a call for anarchy and decimating current social structures and shit. But that tiny animated dt79 with the halo and angel wings hovering over one of my shoulders is telling me otherwise.
I only listen to Led Zeppelin most of the time when I workout anyway when I do listen to music. They’re satanic enough for me lol.
Actually, I also gotta confess I only understood the lyrics to some of their songs after watching Lord of the Rings and my first thought was “I’ve been worshipping a band singing about all this nerdy shit all these years? Fuck Ramble On!”. I’ve now come to terms with all this.
I am not sure. I actually just joined crunch and like it so far. The sketchy road thing is a personal risk assessment. I can’t make that decision and I don’t know anything about Sarasota to offer insight.
I would see if the women’s place has a contract. Crunch you can get out of the payments with no penalty after 90 days.
If you want to get good at squatting yes, if you just want leaner and/or muscular legs and your commitment to leg work isn’t heavily reliant on squatting then no
