leg day-heavy
trying to just blast legs to add some serious mass cause we all know thats my weak point although ive made a lot of progress since i moved up here. im slowly catching up but i could use some comments and suggestions in order to tweak the routine. usually i keep the reps around 4-10 for legs but i went ultra heavy tonight smith machine squats 3 sets: weight is the equivalent as if they were free weight squats but they arent so...you get the idea 275 x 7 reps 315 x 2 reps 295 x 4 reps for some reason my squat is relatively weak , probably because i go so low...well below parallel...maybe i shouldnt go as deep and go a little heavier? Leg Press 3 sets: weight not including sled weight cause i dont know what it is.. 590lbs x 6 680lbs x 3 500lbs x 10 leg extensions 3 sets: 3 45's x 11 3 45's + 25 x 6 2 45's + 25 x 12 drop set with 2 45's x 8 leg curls 4 sets: 120lbs x 11 140lbs x 5 l10lbs x 10 100lbs x 10 +25 min cardio on the bike (5 miles) |

it is what it is
Yah, so I take shit personally. Im an old fashioned guy, is what it comes down to. What do I stand for? Honesty. Accountability. Integrity. Respect. Why does it seem to me like most of the people im surrounded by these days are so fucking self-absorbed? I am sick of being the one who has to put forth all of the fucking effort. Am I becoming out of touch with my "friends"? Does it have to do with me getting older? Everyone moving on to their own respective thing? The list of people I can count on and trust grows smaller and smaller as time goes by. So be it. Its something Ive come to accept. There are certain people who will chew you up and spit you out. Some people are just about taking, and using, and thats their whole MO. You have to be able to spot these people before they get to you, before you let them into your lives and let them waste your time and energy. As I get older I let less and less people get close to me, but that is a product of the world I live in and the experiences that I have had along the way. Im not really sure what the fuck im talking about anymore cause I am tired as hell, but you all got your damn update and it is what it is. |

the death of romance
I once considered myself a romantic, as cheesy as that sounds. Ive been labeled "emo" in the past, and I guess you could consider them one in the same. There was a time in my life that I believed you could literally sweep a girl off of her feet if you tried hard enough (like some kind of John Cusack movie from the 80's). I truly thought that if you treated a girl with respect, went out of your way to do nice things for her, and showed her that if she was with you that you would treat her better than anyone else out there, that she would be yours. Now I know how much of a fallacy I created in my own mind. If you do choose to show a girl how much you care about her, she will take that as an open invitation to use you and run all over you. You will fall immediately into that "great friends" category, which means she will tell you every single thing about her personal life, but you will never sleep with her (although you will hear all about all the guys that she fucks). Girls will always say things like "I dont know why I like him so much, he is such an asshole" (or 'he treats me like shit'). Or the ubiquitous "why cant I ever find a nice guy??" Well the problem, you stupid whore, is that you have about 10 guy friends who would worship the ground you walk on if you would choose to be with them, but you would rather be with that older artsy guy with no job and a really bad cocaine habit who lives with his parents and ignores you except when he is fucking you and...well, you get the idea. Note: When I use the term "girls" I am only speaking in generalities. What I mean by that is, this post only applies to about..95 percent of the female population |

2 degrees of seperation
Anyone ever played that game 6 degrees of seperation? The object is to connect a named actor to Kevin Bacon in 6 actors or less. Well, this town is sort of like that game, except you only need 2 degrees of seperation to connect someone you meet to someone you already know. If you go out to a bar/club and meet an attractive girl, I can almost guarantee you she has slept with one or more people that you are at the very least acquainted with. Im not totally blameless in this whole thing, of course. Its not the only reason I have failed time and again to procure any kind of serious relationship with a girl around here. I have my own issues, and ill admit as much. But it seems there are 2 types of girls in the Tampa Bay area: a.) The single girl looking for a rich, older guy b.) The really cool, down to earth girl who has had the same boyfriend for the past 3 years (or already engaged/married) This is just one of the many reasons I am deadset on getting out of here, come hell or high water (and so on and so forth with the cliches). My plan as of now is to drop into Boston in a couple months when my lease is up at this apartment. I dont have a job or any immediate plan after that. Basically, the idea is to start my life over. I was initially debating between Boston and California (san diego area), where my best friend lives with his gf. But I dont want to play the third wheel. Plus, nothing against my friends (lord knows theyve put up with more than their fair share of my bullshit), but I want to be somewhere where I dont know anyone, and no one knows me either. Oh well, I plan on updating this thing on a regular basis again from here on out, so hollar at your boy! Current Mood: determined |

" cant I convince you otherwise? not so persuasive anymore... I couldnt sell myself just the smallest hope that you'd come back maybe I could stop tonight with just one fucking decision I didnt regret but what I see in your eyes is the answer at the bottom of an empty bottle so I'll mark this down under 'what could have been' " |
