Funny enough, no one that won that event ever went on to win the comp, which shows its relevance, haha.

Just went out to eat with my dad and his gf after my workout. Had a pizza with cheese, mushrooms, and sausage, and ate a couple of slices of my dad’s and his gf’s.
Then we ordered another pizza with raw ham and I ate half of that.
The confession is that I don’t really feel full and had to force myself to restrain from eating the other half of the second pizza lol

You’re in Italy right? I felt like I could’ve eaten unlimited pizza when I visited there. Same with the wine.

Yes I am.
I have never been to any other country so I can’t compare our pizza to the other ones, but let me tell you that I have eaten wonderful pizzas and awful ones. It kind of depends on the oven it’s cooked in, that does make a difference.
I am not big on alcoholic beverages so I can’t vouch for wine, but you’re not the first one who says Italian wine is good.
Anyway, whenever I hear people talking about Italian food I can’t help but think about how my eating doesn’t resemble what italians usually eat at all. That might have to do with the fact that my life is strongly influenced by the American culture because I spend lots of time on the net and I basically only surf in English. I have eggs for breakfast, I eat sweet potatoes, PB&J sandwiches, etc. I can’t tell you how many people raise their eyebrow when they see the foods I eat.

Thank you, and @samul As well.

I think that rule can apply world wide haha. I’m not a big wine drinker so my pallete is pretty unrefined, but the stuff for 2-3 euro was very drinkable.
I was in Rome and Venice.

Couldn’t say for certain, it’s been a couple years since I was there. I was pretty fog brained by the time I got there too, so the finer details aren’t too sharp haha.

Haha that’s okay. I was fucking around a bit. It’s like an inside joke we have in Italy, tavernello wine is usually made fun of because it’s what alcoholics who can’t afford to buy more premium wines buy to get a buzz.
So when someone goes out for drinks but doesn’t have much money on them, they will say something like, “tonight I’m getting drunk on tavernello.”
Okay, I just got out one of the most local, trivial, and folkloric piece of Italian culture to the net. What have I done…

I recently discovered Peroni Red. Probably the nicest lager I’ve had.

I love Peronis. Gonna have to try that. After a short attempt at enjoying super hoppy expensive craft beers like many of my friends, I’ve since come to terms with the fact that I like a lighter taste in my beers.
I generally prefer porters or red IPA, although I can get on happily enough with regular IPA if I’m in the mood. Lager I generally dislike as it bloats the hell out of me but Peroni Red is just right.

I read 2 books to my kids every night. I have them point out stuff on the pages and interact with the story. It makes a 20 page book take 15+ minutes and gets them ready for bed. Recently I visited my mom in NY and took a whole bunch of books back with me. Tonight, book #1 was Pete the Cat. Kids love it, we have fun, so for book #2, I pull out The Cat in the Hat. Small, quick read, right?
WRONG. This fucking book is 61 PAGES. I do not remember it being a fucking novella. We’re half an hour into the second book and I’m yawning more than both boys combined, and they straight up spotted me trying to flip multiple pages at a time. I wanted that cat to fuck off 10x more than the kids in the book did. By the time we’re at page 50, the kids have gotten a second wind and are jumping around laughing at the rhymes. It was a struggle to get them to bed afterwards.
TL;DR:
Parents of young children, Dr Seuss books are long as hell and will break you.

Haha I have the same feelings towards the short books. Some of them are awful tongue twisters.

That happens to me every night its my turn to read to mine. I get 4 nights a week where I can train after I put him to bed and when I read him his stories I’m freaking yawning and dead tired, takes me 30 minutes to wake up enough to go workout after.

Confession: I yawned twice because of this post.
Once when I read the word yawn in your post and once when I read it in @Lonnie123’s quote of your post. Lol

All the others I can understand… Except calves. Surely you dont think they get enough stimulus from most generic compounds do you…? Or is this a list about your own training and you have luscious baby cows without training them?

Confession: I often wonder what other people see when they look at me, because depending on the day, hour, or even minute I’ll catch a look at myself in a mirror, car window, random reflective surface and bounce between, “Alright! Lookin’ good my man, lookin’ stout!” to genuine surprise and, “Whoa! TF happened to you? Fall out of the ugly tree face first, or what? Also, you’re soft.”
