Carried away? Yes. Knocked over and eaten alive because you’re too pathetic to fight back? Maybe.

Do geese enjoy eating people-liver as much as people enjoy eating goose-liver?

Only if the people are force fed excess calories through a funnel to the point they develop non-alcoholic fatty liver… i.e. Americans.

Every since I have kept my food and training simple my life has been way easier. I basically never think about training now. I have goals and just do what I have to do.

Training and eating well I can proudly say is now a lifetime habit for me!

In order to preserve the integrity of the analogy, shouldn’t it be person-liver, or human-liver?

Sounds like a question for the Hobgoblin of Little Minds dept.

My guess is yes, but they can’t get any. Thats why they’re so angry.

They have it in their brains from way back, the same way that my dog loves salmon. Her ancestors haven’t caught a fish for 30 million years but when I bust open a pack of fillets she goes nuts!

Actually no…I would not be concern if he was just average. My sister has raised him 180 degrees of what I have with mine. Hes been babied so much that hes very immature along with I think castrated.

Big consultancies? Oh really? Could you name one or two? I’ll pass them on to my theater arts degree kid, who decided at the end of junior year that he was sick of acting, but would have had to stay longer if he’d changed majors.

Haha PwC gave us a drama major (Miracle Mat) and EY gave us a psychology major (Baby Bec).

The clean up bill is currently at 4 million dollars because who needs engineering skills to make engineering decisions?

Whilst I am loving the strength training, I get the occasional urge to just break out and do an arm session and chase those big cannons. Deload next week might include some major curls !!

I haven’t done any direct arm training for almost 11 weeks. My shirt sleeves tell me I haven’t lost anything.

Do they tell you you’ve gained anything?

Some days I wonder. I used to notice my sleeves feeling looser when I stopped direct arm training but not this time.

My current program is just good old compound movements and lots of food. I’ll do measurements in a couple weeks when I officially finish the 12 weeks.

Part Confession/Part “Things That Piss Me Off”

Confession: While growing up in a small town I had always heard of the “politics of a small town” and the “levels of corruption” and so on and so forth, and truly never believed it, just figured that people were people no matter where they were at and that the majority would be good, and the minority would be shits, no matter where they were at. The confession being that I have found out that being young and ignorant really was bliss.

The “Things that piss me off”: That it is real, that parents, other coaches, other professionals in the community will attempt to make “power plays” to influence you, the things you do, or those around you. That it is election time and that I’m now “adult” enough to worry about having a political sign in my yard because my wife works for the school district and is one of those, “teachers that gets paid too much.” according to the community (not all, but some vocal ones). That it is small enough that I can’t call another coach out for being a jackass because he works with my wife and I don’t need to make that shitty for her. It pisses me off that people rant and rave about (in this case) the school district, the pay, the employees, the board, the administration, the athletics, the clubs, but when asked to volunteer their time, or apply for coaching or club leadership positions, they are nowhere to be found, so it falls back to a few folks (for example there are multiple coaches that teach and coach multiple sports at different levels) and then the community complains that, “the jobs are being handed out to specific people that the administration likes.” No shit? The administration likes them because they’re willing to put in the extra time with the youth.

Tl:DR - Despade had a couple poor interactions and needed to get stuff off his chest in an anonymous forum so I don’t ruin professional relationships in a small town, ha. Thanks!

Yes, it was. I miss my small town ignorance. The people I thought were “bad” are now considered “upstanding citizens” compared to what I see every day.

We deal with this at my house. I’m not a teacher, but I also need my husband to suppress stuff for my professional benefit. I know it bothers him. Actually, it bothers me, too. But we both like the paychecks.

I always talk amongst my friends about how I believe people, in general, are good. Good being in the sense that they aren’t evil, wicked individuals. Being good doesn’t preclude them from being total shitheads though.

I think it’s harder to deal with a shithead than a bad person.

In general, I think its very very unlikely to meet someone in your life who is truly evil. Although, according to my SO, I fit into that category since I dropped one of her eye makeup pallets earlier this week. So if you ever meet me in person, I am the literal devil.
