mind boner.
lol
Can I haz a mind boner too?
hihi
I just had to.
I love mind boners!
Hope you aren’t feeling anxious anymore Bear! I recently read a study from the ACSM that found that resistance training beat cardio for improving symptoms in people with GAD. (Not that you have an anxiety disorder.) But, DUH! Of course feeling strong makes you less likely to worry about shit. Knowing that you can kick some ass makes you feel pretty capable in the rest of your life, no?
Good luck with school and the lifting!
dharma- silly buddhist, dont you know what happens when you invite people over? sometimes, they show up!
OO- does your mind boner make the soft spot tent up like in your pants? 
MIM- ya thats where the blood rushes to your brain, and it swells, and then you hat fits funny. o wait. mebbe im rong.
kimba- i thot u had one aweddy. sadface. see? → 
n- FUCK YEAH UNICORNS!!
veg- ha! i look at it like an outlet to freak out. instead of trashing the apt or people. wasnt safe to do mon + tues, yesterday i slept before work, and im still finishing things up. I can see how it would help the GAD tho. and so many other things. being active is good for you. WHO KNEW?!
Yup, taking things out on unsuspecting barbells is the way to go. My problem arises when that is not the best choice with regard to my training… so then I drink single-malt and watch baseball. Maybe not the healthiest outlet, but not the worst either. I guess.
I am as southern as they come punkin…you show up, I feed you and slop sugar on ya, and you dont leave.
For that to happen i’d have to be wearing pants…

This is totally true. Hope you feel better!
Just catching up over here. Damn you are strong. And I envy your environment with people what coach and push you until you are incoherent. I probably need to look for some of that this year.
Hang in there with school. With the mental health stuff, particularly anxiety, you sometimes have to just fake it till you make it. I know you know how to MAKE yourself do difficult sh*t. The same rules apply.
fake it til you make it.
Thats my MO.
And now that the hubby is back I can just take off on walks if I’m feeling ready to splode.
Finals are over.
Been running around like pinball.
I lifted today. First time with knee wraps.
I’m tired now, update tomorrow.
That must be a relief. I hope your results are stellar.
Enjoy your rest. Congrats on finishing finals. I love that feeling of doneness.
Congratulations on being done with finals. That, after coming out of the post-final coma, is the best feeling.
The Summary Post-
Finals-
American Criminal Lit <1800- B+

Sci-Fi Lit- A-
Spanish 103 (Intermediate)- A-
Saturday squat at EFS
First time using knee wraps. Had a difficult time pulling my head out of my ass enough to stop thinking about how much they hurt and that I needed to squat properly. I tried to bail on one but the spotters wouldn’t take it, and the bar never stopped moving. This time, however, I shook my head instead of looking at my feet. Thanks to Jason for insisting I use my balls.
Sunday Bench at EFS
Reverse band bench, orange and black mini-
Went decent until i got up to 225 for a set of 3. First 2 reps were mediocre and the 3rd was everything i could have done wrong except let go of the bar or let it fall on my person. lifted up and reset my feet, flapped my elbows, windmilled the bar, pushed for the pins instead of lockout, and i couldnt do anything but laugh afterwards. Ted was laughing right along with me, Molly insisted that it was still good for me to learn how to push through something that heavy, even if it turned out that bad. She always has the positive outlook.
I have the week off (till saturday), 4 paid days at work.
Had a massage today at 1, nother peekshur sesh with my Space Cadet photog girlfriend tonight, and lots of fresh fruit in the fridge.
Still weird that I dont have any real obligations right now. Need it to be this way, but its weird.
That must feel awesome…
you worked hard! And congrats on your grades…it’s all you BRO!!
Having nothing to do after being all stressed out and busy is weird but enjoy it. It’s good for you. I’m in love with that new pic.
that pic reminds me of what I love to do when I have nothing to do.
smoke
nap
and other sports 
enjoy Bear. you deserve it.
