all interesting news BUT what the hell has happened with Tana? Being a hurricanes man do you have the inside scoop?
Your looking well by the way ;p

Hmm. Never considered that angle. Guess it’s possible.

Kia ora my commonwealth brother!
There will be a gap left with the departure of Tana but i’m picking Nonu to take his place. Smith would also be good (both are friends of mine and great guys on and off the field).
Tana made the right choice choosing time with family over test rugby but the Canes will be a force to reckon with in the super 14! With Tana putting all his focus into the 14’s, this year we will prevail!
Sorry for the hijack : )

Hopefully you made it down to Wellington in that time! Beautiful city and awesome people!
When are you coming back?
Ka kite ano
This is Stacey and I at Christmas. She’s not a T-vixen yet, but she will be in the near future. She’s coming with me to D.C. for the “Test Fest” to see what makes me truly happy and is my passion in life.
She won’t be attending the seminar (she’ll be sight seeing), but she wanted to come along for the ride and meet some of the peeps I know (and will meet for the first time.)
[u]Odd and Interesting facts you may or may not know about Nate Dogg:[/u]
When I was three, my parents and I went to Spain. I was attacked by monkeys while visiting one of those “drive through” zoos. They managed to get on and around the car, get their hands in the window and pull on my hair (when I had some). I still remember it to this day.
When I was 10 or 11, my mom was sued by the parents of a friend of mine (at the time) because I busted his head open with a steel pipe after he had hit me in the nuts with a rock (the whole incident was an accident. I didn’t mean to crack his skull open and nearly kill him and force him to wear glasses the rest of his life.)
I am the oldest of six. However, only myself, brother and sister have the same father/mother. Two other brothers have another father, and the sixth has another father (my mom’s a slut). I’m 30, the youngest is 11.
I used to draw cartoons when I was younger. I was going to go to the Rhode Island School of Design, but I moved to Florida with my dad in 1989 (because my brother and sister lived with my mom in a small hicktown near Gville). I still drew, but it was something I didn’t focus on much and was only for fun.
I was small, weak and skinny for most of my life. I made myself fat in the 7th and 8th grade and ended up with a cholesterol count of 240! I decided that it was time to be healthy and took the initiative to learn how to eat right and begin to exercise (but didn’t get into weight training until I was 18 - now I wish I had done it sooner. I also wish I had played sports in high school). But that has led to my healthy lifestyle and passion for health and fitness.
I took drama in high school and participated in different plays and other acting gigs. I originally majored in theater in college, but I later changed my major when I realized that I didn’t have the time to devote to acting (I was paying my way through school), and wasn’t sure where I would go if I did get the degree.
I had braces, and I have perfect teeth now.
I have a “hooked” dick to the left. But the women love it.
My girlfriend says I have an unusually long and freaky tongue.
I helped start a local import car club and web site.
I enjoy autocrossing and the occassionl drag strip for quarter mile drags.
I used to have a comic book collection with more than 300 of some of the most valuable comics. I sold them when I needed money to buy my first car before I started college. I still wish I had them to this day. I only got $300 for comics that were easily worth triple that in 1993 and probably a lot more now.
I have a small football and baseball card collection.
I cannot eat mayonnaise. The smell, look, taste, and feel makes me terribly ill.
I’ve had stitches in my lip from getting hit with an ice ball when I was seven (I used to bust my lips all the time when I was a kid - that must be why they are so big now), I’ve had a dislocated finger thanks to my uncle kicking me (that led to surgery and nerve damage), I’ve had my nose broken by a knee to the face by a girl while horsing around, I’ve been bit in the face by a dog causing stitches under my eye and lip (again, the lips are always getting busted), but I have not broken any other bones.
I have a lazy eye and had to wear an eye patch when I was 10.

Reminds me of a girl I went out with a few years ago. She used to go crazy in her sleep and attack me. Gave me a couple of split lips, a bleeding nose from an elbow to the face and I woke up once to find her eye gouging me!

He’s saying that they didn’t take the guy because he’s BLACK, even though he has an unusually well-developed physique. “Skin-tone” is code for “of African descent.” That was the no-comment comment.
But somehow I think you understood that…[/quote]
It wasn’t because i was black because the did pick a black guy (9 white one black). It was like i said before my skin tone literally… the black guy the pick had a very light skin tone my skin tone is darker than his. According to lou schuler my skin tone wouldn’t work well with the camera/lighting etc according to the explanation he wrote to memebers of the website who asked why i didn’t make it…

That still sounds pretty insulting to me. He might as well have called you a “darky”.

If they can take pictures of Wesley Snipes and have more than just teeth show up for promos of Blade, they can take a picture of a dark skinned black guy. That has to be the lamest excuse possible. When I was in junior high school, many of the black parents complained after school pictures were taken because none of the black kids’ pictures came out showing much more than an outline. The photographers excuse was that he usually only sets the lighting to one setting (implying that the camera was set for “white kid” and could not be set to “black kid”). Amazingly, hiring another photographer and retaking the pictures somehow allowed for the “black kid” button to become operable. What year is this again? If my crappy digital camera can take pictures of me, what the hell are professional photographers using?

Wow, what a lame excuse. Your physique is more healthy looking and perfect than a good number of male models/fitness models out there. And your skin looks perfect, healthy and beautiful- no blemishes or uneven tones (not to offend anyone who is complexionally challenged). Just my female opinion, you have a fabulous physique, 10/10, that would be an awesome representation for any men’s health related magazine, as far as I can see from T-Nation and your myspace photos. Wow Men’s Health sucks.
This is a pic from VA states in the 81kg division, I weighed in at the 73kg division (I fought both). In less then a year I’m now fighting @ 90kg. All the hard work is paying off.

I thought the samething that you, kj and Prof x were saying. But when i thought about it more I realized hey when i first started working out, I didn’t do it to appear in any magazine I did it for my well being. Anything else is a bonus.

Except on Thursday nights when he is the woman. (Specifically in a red dress and high heels, but I shouldn’t speak of that.)
chinadoll I am so jealous of where you live. Absolutely beautiful. (You fit in nicely.) Have wanted to visit Hawaii for years.
My wife’s family seems to have a similar problem, that results in an overactive thyroid, and has resulted in operations to remove a portion of it.
Me about a year ago. I weighed 115kg in this pic. I now weigh 102kg. The minute I hit 95kg before and after pics will follow.
Obscure facts :
1: I brew beer. (As seen in pic). I partly blame the gut on this fact.
2: Though much thinner, I am still ugly. My wife probably married me for the money.
3: I have never broken a bone in my body, despite falling off at least 3 houses. I blame milk. (for the strong bones, not the falling)
