Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto.
I love the Styx Reference!
More acceptance speeches should be like this one.
Short. Sweet. Touch of some humor.

I love Lance Armstrong!

I am now Lance Armstrong’s greatest fan! Sign me up for his fan page. I love it!

I am not saying that we shouldn’t forgive people because the Bible is clear that we are suppose to forgive. I didn’t like his comment of saying that the man is “not worth the chair he sits on” but I was glad that Lance was cool and collective.  How would you stinkin’ respond if someone called you “cancer” after your LIVESTRONG Campaign and fighting it yourself?

What if…

Getting Healthy.

Posted on 2009 02, 05 by dustin

So this Saturday will be the end of my first 30 day personal weight loss/eating healthier challenge. I ain’t gonna lie, the first 2 weeks we really hard. To go from no real physical excercise and eating huge fatty dinners, to working out in morning and eating turkey everything :-D. Its extreme. Its hard. I hate it…but I love it.  I already feel energized and healthier.

One thing that I have noticed going to the gym is that there are a lot of perverse “meat heads”. Ya know, the guys whose body is bigger than their head. The guys who walk in with their protein/creatine shakes and slam weights all while watching the ladies of the gym. It gets on my nerves. I just want to work out, NOT feel that me or my wife are being stalked by these gym stalkers. I just don’t get it.

Speaking of the gym, there is many a weightlifter has walked into a classic gym—say, Gold’s in Venice Beach—and thought, Man, if these weights could talk. Now some can. Last week Gymbox, a fitness club in London, replaced some metal plates with human weights: people of various masses waiting to be lifted by exercisers. The liftees, who wear black leotards marked with their weights, range from a 66-pound female dwarf to a 342-pound man. “A lot of our members felt that lifting metal weights was boring and not especially motivating,” says Gymbox owner Richard Hilton, who has his human plates shout encouragement to flesh-pumping customers. Finally, resistance training that isn’t so resistant.

Thats gonna leave a mark!

Even though I truly believe that the Super Bowl commercials for this year were pretty lame.  This one is by far the best. Check it out.
