Month: December 2016

werner herzog gave me an idea. he postulates that the human soul was born in a cave in france where the oldest paintings in the world exist: 32000 years old. so what is this spirit? as an atheist I do wonder why 99% of humans feel it – an externality of life. is it there? is it an illusion? is it the microbiome in our guts talking to us? is it gone? did it get us started and now that we are sparked we can create our own spirits? is it just a memory? 

i’m taking all kinds of supplements, all for heart health, energy and cognition. what am i taking? wow the list. l-methylfolate, b-12 (methycobalamin), glisodin, coq10, alpha lipoic acid (ALA), acetyl l-carnitine, and a massive amount of omega-3 fatty acids called EPA and DHA (fish oil). whenever i need it, i also supplement with potassium, vitamin c, magnesium and calcium. i also supplement with caffeine and possible creatine on lifting days. i feel great. so far i’m down 16 pounds. i plan to get down 60 pounds from 240 to about 180 and then build it all back up as muscle. i’ll be 240 again someday and then maybe you’ll see me in giants live. 

i don’t read the news anymore but sometimes i see headlines on various websites i visit. i don’t read the articles of course but i have to wonder if it’s real or fake. i used to think i had a good grasp on what is biased and what is not biased, but i’ve backed off that to test the hypothesis more thoroughly. did a chunk of sea ice the size of india melt or is that some kind of fake article being pushed by some agenda? i may never know. i guess part of the prize of giving up the news is that i don’t know what will kill me or the planet. i hope you fuckers don’t kill the planet. 

i used my selfie-stick/tripod to take some pictures of my body. i took about 100 and pared it down to maybe 30. i like about 5 of them and the rest are motivating me to hit the gym and fast assiduously today. while it’s true that i’ve lost about 15 pounds — give or take depending on the lies the scale wishes to tell — i have a goal of 6 pounds per month. the fasting and the dietary supppements should give me the energy i need to get back to my bodybuilding goals that i set for myself about 5 years ago. october 2016 was my mark. october 2021 is my goal. 

jeans. came to the gym and forgot my gym shorts. this is a city gym, mind. wore my jeans. asshat immediately stops me and says i’m not wearing the proper attire. i looked down and said, "you’re wearing jeans" and he says "i work here" i say "as a personal trainer. shame on you for working in a gym and holding yourself to a higher standard" he says "it’s okay this time" i say "no shit, sherlock." 

please mithras, command one of your minions to dub russell crowe’s voice with a good singer’s voice — and re-release it! we loved him in gladiator but he literally ruined les miserables! 

every once in a while, hollywood shocks me. newt scamader is a man who nobody really likes and who people find annoying. he’s not sexy, he’s shy, he’s awkward, he’s not muscular, he’s not good looking, he mumbles and he’s not eloquent. yet he is a very capable protagonist. that’s a beautiful fact of life that we need to be reminded of now and then. oh, and his sidekicks are a fat guy and a misfit. wonderful!
