too bad about the hole in your new underoos.
and nobody really understands block periodization, they just pretend to, so that the rest of us will feel stoopid.
30 minutes on elliptical, will also walk a couple of miles later
I’ll admit, I have a facebook account. Usually post shit about meets or dogs or cute kid stuff. Today my only post was “I believe it is true you choose your own attitude: and today I picked an effen nasty one”.
This morning I rolled out of bed wanting to get in a bar fight. Me against three, at least. Bad sign when your day includes a) no lifting b) a trip to the park and c) looking for jobs that don’t seem to fuggen exist. At the park I seriously was on the scout for someone doing something that might harm my son, scowled at the grassy hills and across the parking lot, but there was only one nice young mom with a kid my son’s age and her little 4 month old. I tried like hell to sound civilized when I spoke to her about kids and babies.
BTW, missed walk. Went and picked out kids carpeting for his new room, as we make room for baby brother. Thanks to the tanked economy, will get the room carpeted for about the price I can get for a POS old .38 I have. By the time we got back I had to make dinner, then storm clouds rolled in and I felt tired and angry at the same time. Messed up combo.
I am so there.
lets say the costs of a new family are at conflict with my new daddy elation.
work for me last year was dry as a protein fart…
I am still full of angry ass kid and do believe I said in the midst of our ongoing mortgage hostage crisis…
‘that I would burn the entire apartment building down and collect insurance pay the mortgage off and call it even’
still thinking how nice that would feel.
hug the wife.
grab the little guy.
rough the dogs
and hit a midget brother on face book if you need.
Kevin, we are sooooo on the same page.
I have a feeling we will both hit our 80s wearing black tshirts and being fuggen angry at something.
the wife, the dogs, the kids, etc all mitigate my anger, and make me rationalize, but fuck, some old school brawling, or at least a mosh pit worth of that name, is sometimes necessary, or at least deeply wanted.
I skipped out on seeing the Business, old friends, and really one of the originators of true punk rock, the other night. felt it wise to a) be close to the wife and b) not spend any money. Kinda regretting right now.
However, to support no-necked midget NYC folk I will be seeing the legendary Cro-Mags in July. 23 years since I have seen them.

I believe the best way to make this happen is to get right out of bed, brush teeth, then gargle bourbon. BUT, instead of wasting it in the sink, swallow. Repeat the gargle, but don’t bother gargling the second through ninth time, just down it…
Wait, am I encouraging the wrong thing here?
I just ordered 7 new black tshirts.
summer wardrobe is complete…
minus the soccer jerseys for ‘bbqs’
Children of the 80’s how I recognize thee…
Hey I’m on Facebook too! Friend me Friend me, Slap hands slap hands!

You shoulda just wore your briefs with the hole in them to the park, some face paint and nothin’ else. Then, could have brought one of your dogs to the park wearing a pink tu-tu with a rebel flag tied around his neck. Some one would have said somethin’ to ya, then you coulda pounded them into the ground like a tent peg.
I think you could take that mom in the park brother… 'specially wearing your holy briefs.
Smile buddy… we love ya!

Nice work, Pete, I bet you were swole.
Cro-Mags should be a blast. I can’t remember the last good show I’ve seen. I’ll expect a full report.
Jack, I try to make it to a couple shows a year still. That way I can keep an eye all my old degenerate friends. When Age of Quarrel came out we all thought the Cro-Mags must have been some of the burliest, nastiest dudes out there. Then they came to town and realized they needed help getting stuff off the top shelf. Still hard as nails though.
Got 2 mile walk in today. Hard to do some days, what with wife fully uncomfortable and my nesting duties very occupying.

rainy day, did this while watching Return of the Jedi with the kid. Awesome.
Had carpeting installed in his new room this morning. Picking up ‘big boy’ bed from my mom’s later today. god bless handmedowns right now. This was actually my mom’s bed when she was a kid.
(Being the geek I am) I just quoted from Return of the Jedi to my coworker not even 15 minutes ago. The “tell your sister you were right” part in the end.

I took a Spike before benching this morning. Same prob. Now, when I take one before leg day, not the same effect. Just shows to go ya.
couple of notes:
one of the top benchers around swung by, and noted a) technique goes a long way b) short arms get you even further and c) ugly reins in benching.
left leg is starting to fire more on its own, except when I did prowler I seem to have fucked my ankle a little. I am trying to lay low on the ibu, but upped the dose today and that has helped. I think it messed with it mostly because of my overconsumption of caffeine this morning.
New injury seems to be mid back, feel it across the tie in to my lats and erectors at the midpoint, if that makes sense. I have made friends with the resident chiro at the commercial gym, gonna get an adjustment.
In fact, he noticed when I was doing the rack pulls that I seemed to be stalling out right before lockout with a pained look on my face. He was training with his wife and she suggested I get an adjustment… she didnt’ realize I got a freebee coming, lol.
