see that’s just it. I know my shit stinks. I know that I know nothing about the “real world”, about paying bills, handling a family, all of that. I know that I am still naive to those concepts, but not ignorant to them. I know im simply going to be written off as being a whiny college brat, but damnit I’m ok with admitting that I don’t know shit about shit, I just wish that you didnt group with along with those dumb asses that think because they can cite Locke that they are set for life. Ive had a bit to drink tonight, i should probably get some sleep, but i just want to say before i crash, you are more reasonable then I thought.
Jeebus. I quoted Bourdieu, not Locke. And it was all in good fun. I don’t even go to a liberal arts college. I agree that I don’t know anything about all of the same things you just said you don’t know about. Let’s not be rash.[/quote]
sigh i wasn’t referring to you bro, chill out, not everything is a personal attack on you, if anything i lean more your side, remember?

“Now understand that there’s nothing wrong when I expound my verbiage to an exceedingly sophist and mentationally challenging extent.

Hey! I can sound like a college guy too! hehe[/quote]
I’m not discounting your desire to better yourself. But there is a HUGE difference between a part-time job, or a summer internship, and doing it for real. I got a B.S. in Animal Science - and when I got to a real job - reality slapped me in the face.
Fast forward 6 years - I’m working full-time with a wife and 2 kids going to grad school full-time. When I walked across that stage - I was slapped in the face again. It happens.
You’re so sure you know ‘everything’ coming out of college, but you know nothing. It’s not a slam, or me trying to put you in your place. It happens to just about everyone.
When you’ve earned your stripes, and are a crusty old fart like me, you too will look at the college kids and laugh. Because you’ve been there and done that - and because you know that those kids don’t know shit.

first off, i would like to commend you on your efforts to better yourself. you sound like a true t-man. that aside, i stongly recognize that ninety percent of job skills are learned “in the field.” ive had a firm grasp of that for a long time. also, i realize i know nothing already… this is what pushes me to know more. the minute you think you know “everything” is the minute you truely know nothing. try not to be so quick to say “you” with people, as to you may know very little of the actual individual, rather they. ive been with t-mag since about they started, they have helped shape me in to the man i am today. damn this place is great. best of luck on your career though, sounds like you will go far in anything you choose.

My ‘you’ is a collective ‘you’ not an individual ‘you’.

Sounds like alot of the posters on this board, including some that have claimed GDI status.
My wife’s name is ‘Nancy’, she’s quite offended with that name…

Dude, you want an exist strategy?
Try this:
1 Send Quadethefinest a PM asking him (or his lil’ brother - whatever) for his input on this topic.
2. Sit back and watch someone else get flamed 6-ways from Sunday.

It really should go without saying, but the only things with collars on them at the gym should be the barbells.
what makes that even more funny is the amount of guys who are “too tough” to use a collar in the weight room, it’s got to be hella embarassing to struggle and have all the weights fall off!
[/quote]
most people don’t need to have a collar on the bar unless they are doing max lifts, if you have proper form they are unnecessary anyway. Not always a factor of being “too tough”.
I somehow keep managing to forget that this long thread is actually a flame war and not a long list of funny gym stories. I get dissapointed every time. I’m such a simple creature.

Just think, that way we wouldn’t be picking on any particular downtrodden group such as frats or nancies.
gaaahhrhrrrgggrrrr… TP for my bunghole… I am cornholio… gtgaaaarrr[/quote]
That should be spelt with a 1, boy! You’re just mad because you read the fake whine all the way through. Hahaha.
Quade and 'Powda really need to bail me out. Or better yet, someone say something about politics now that ProfX is in the mix. Vroom and rainjack will be completely distracted, and if we’re lucky, JeffR and BB will join the fray. And I will slip away to another battle in the defense of truth, justice, and the fraternity way! Booya.

I’m from Talla-ma-hassee. The capital of the fine state of Florida. We all talk funny down here, 'cause it’s so close to the northern border, it might as well be southern Georgia. You know, now that I think about it, I might be one of the only posters who ever uses “y’all” when he writes. Thats jest ma edjacashin showin.
