Did you pick anything yet? Here’s my tech-geek wishlist if God ever decided to throw 500 random dollars my way:

  • Kindle
  • Barebones MSI Wind PC
  • Western Digital 1TB External Hard Drive
  • Xbox 360
  • 24" Dell LCD Monitor
  • Samsung P2 MP3 Player
  • Shure Earbuds
  • Wireless Mouse

Of course, my wants are always beyond my needs/income, so I dream by never by. Perhaps I can live vicariously through you.

Honestly, I think that is an insane waste of money…

why not just buy a set of dumbell handles, and a set of weights that you can take on and off… then you just need a barbell and bench, maybe a squat rack later and you are all set… I will never unstand those silly dumbell kits…

wait for the next gen e-readers, they will be the size of a piece of paper, and will be more like 400 dollar tablet pcs in that they will run office, let you write on power point slides, and be all around more useful then the current gen ones for the same money… I honestly think they will replace textbooks… or, atleast i hope so…

Yeah, I do, the Harvard Professor is my training parnter alongside a couple others. If you see any of my lifting videos, he’s either spotting me, or coaching me through a lift.

For Example

Free Squat - 10 weeks out - YouTube

He’s the guy in the red shirt on the left, spotting me/giving me verbal cues.

End hijack.

Nothing crawled up my ass, you just come across as a tool that’s all. But it’s the internet, so my opinion doesn’t really mean much.

Not sure I mentioned this before, but you are a sick fucking beast man. Keep it up and god’s speed towards your total.

Agreed, on the tool part. Kickass squat in that vid, I really must stop by TPS, I used to live like 10 minutes from it.

Oh, in that case, I’m getting for a meet guys. I’m 9 weeks out and here are some bench press vids from today.

I’m still kinda meh about the last video, but I get to try 500lbs next week.

Why don’t you give it away? I bet if you looked hard enough and did some research, you could really change someone’s life. I think that would be a lot more satisfying than the temporary feeling of “fullness” (followed by emptiness) when you “consume” what the media tells you to.

Seriously. Give it away. You’d be surprised how “abundant” the world is and how positive karma has a way of coming back ten-fold…

Just my .02 - I’ll probably get a bunch of folks calling me stupid or crazy, but oh well. That’s what I would do.

Very much liked the positive suggestion, AC. I agree, he’ll feel good about it forever.
