The Man In The Cellar

Bumping, as there was a bit of a scare that this got deleted…

damn strong dips Beast. Hope you found a little zen.

Hmm…As I was oddly exhausted last night, I skipped the gym and went to bed early. This means that I was up early, like I figured I would be. So, with that in mind, I went ahead and started my back work this morning. I’ll not be doing that again. Hot shit is what it felt like.

Too fucking early!!

Deadlifts

515 x .25 x 1 (Don’t know why I even considered this. Like I got beat down with the stupid stick!!)

I’ll post some of the vids on BookFace.

I wasn’t hurting as bad as I thought I would be today. Had plenty of motivation to keep me going, as I spent part of the morning talking to TPD, then part of the afternoon getting interrogated because I got something in the mail that smelled very good, and very feminine…with hearts on the envelope. Today is a day that will go down in infamy…I was actually made to blush, as the hooks were sunk in and the interrogation involving 4 people got deeper. With my aura of invincibility fractured, I had to exile myself to the only place I knew that I could make repairs…

I feel it’s going to take a bit more time for my aura to be completely healed. So, I’ll have to get it in pretty damned hard for my remaining days here on this FOB. 16 days of pure massacre. Let’s get it!!

Pic is symbolic in nature…:wink:

AND THE CROWD GOES WILD AT THE RETURN OF B-THEPERFECTDRUG!!! :stuck_out_tongue:

How did you go from twenty something days to sixteen!!! Are you fucking with me???
Wake up and tell me!!! :smiley:


Fuck! That’s all I can say for today. That one word sums it up in four letters. It’s been choppy all day today. From waking up at 245 in the morning, although, I had Ms. Beauty above on the other end of my phone, to a PT session, dealing with the locals, then standing inside a “fighting position”, to this evening’s fun, to include killing myself and sitting thru a video teleconference for the upcoming repeal of the military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell laws…Fuck is appropriate.

Now that I can sit and relax, the temp’s dropping in this tent. Gotta love the desert/mountains of Afghaniland. I will say, however, that I was humbled in the strength department this evening, as the RXO I mentioned previously hit me with the numbers he’s working with on deads and squats. I didn’t have a measuring stick out here all deployment, but I’ve found one now. At a buck-75, I’ve got work to do. “Elite” status…here I come.

All I wanted today was by BW in this. Took a few attempts, but when I got it, it was awesome. I even smiled for the camera before-hand.

Just a touch over two weeks til I leave this FOB and begin my journey back to Germany, and to Ms. Beauty above.

I dreamt I did a photo shoot of you 2. The pictures in my head were poetry :slight_smile:

TWO WEEKS!!!

Happy for ya…hold strong!

Main- can I get a description of this dream?

MiM- I’ll actually be arriving sooner than expected, so this was good news to start the day off with.

Pity the day went downhill from there, as exhaustion set in, due to the sleep I haven’t been getting, then followed by an ever-growing headache that would not go away no matter how much water I drank, caffeine I ingested, or pills swallowed. Funny, it took getting under the bar to alleviate a bit of the pain.

Evening

Squats
Bar x 10 x 2

My headache started roaring again, so I decided to call it a day. Depending upon how my legs feel in the morning, I’ll re-engage tomorrow. For the time being, I’m gonna go visit that Rebecca Black thread. I finally watched that video, and it’s a 13 y/o girl singing a very light, frivolous (sp?) song. No harm really…sorta cute.

it literally was a photoshoot: but the contrast between your two bodies and the way I imagine you to move in my mind was beautiful. Plus you both have such strong personalities that just gave it to my camera.

le sigh.

as long as such a narcissistic endeavor could be made to benefit Malawi, I’m all for it :slight_smile: …i have dreams about your CAMERA mainy :slight_smile: it’s awesome!

and Mr. Beast … Nice squatting today! :smiley:
sounds like what you had today was a massive tension headache btw. I know of something (well a few things actually) that might help you relax :slight_smile:

I’m going to need a lot of what you know.

2d day in a row that my training was scrapped due to painful headache and now the shakes. I’ve no clue what the hell is up, but I figured perhaps I should eat something. An hour after eating, still had the headache, shakes were nonexistent, but indigestion replaced them. Can’t win for losing. Could it be anxiety as time is getting short? Perhaps the anticipation of seeing you is causing this? Those are the only two things I could think of that could be behind this. Well…those and fucked up sleep pattern. Gotta figure something out.

For now, what I’m currently listening to.

Wow. This brought back a painful memory. I was still learning how to box when I was asked to fight in this smoker. My opponent was a pro. I got the black beat off me!! Enjoy!!

This is a very cool pic.

Hope your feeling better big man - thanks for sharing the vid :slight_smile:

Great Vid Beast!

you’ve always been a bad-ass~

Hey Beast! Hope your feeling better. I soo could not watch you box. I seriously get kind of sick when I see boxing. Same thing with violent movies.

Speaking of military stuff, I just wanted you to know that I’m pretty sure some terrorists were in my house over the weekend. I never found the actual bomb, but there’s quite a debris field.

Scuze meh, Mz Pooof! d’Bre iz here! :wink:

Beast… your opponent would have lost if WRESTLING were allowed! And I’m sorry but that intro is so FUCKING CUTE.

I wasn’t so much concerned about losing. Just wanted to make it look halfway decent. I think I accomplished that a lil bit. I’d love to spar with him again, though. I’d just love to get some ring/mat/cage time period. After some alone time, that is…:wink: No retort about the intro… lol

Puff-it always rubs me the wrong way when I hear people speak about their aversion to violence. While I’m not out looking to fight/maim/kill everything in sight, I’m not averse to engaging, should the need arise. My question for you is: what would your reaction be if your family were threatened with violence? I’m not asking this to be mean or a dick, I honestly am curious about this.

EDGY!!! Ladies and Gents, we’ve got a celebrity in the cellar now! Thanks for droppin in.

Now, I didn’t train yesterday as I was the living dead. Headaches, coupled with no sleep, joined with a stimulant restriction made Beast a ticking time-bomb. So, with a bit of a push from the docs, I paid our newly arrive psychiatrist a visit. Two-hours later, I left with an old friend in hand. Needless to say, I was dead to the world last night. So, this morning, I was pretty groggy, so I hopped on BookFace and chatted up D’Bre, and that led to a phone convo. Strange, but after talking with her, I was actually pretty wired…so much so that I decided to make up for yesterday’s missed work.
