Hey OP. Haven't been on here for about 100 years, but Wifey mentioned you had a few new posts so thought I'd drop in. How's things with you two? Either of you have a Fitocracy account? Wifey and I...

If you think your friends would ditch you for not eating sugar bread... I'm sure you don't need me to finish this sentence.

I like that this forum is green. I'm consistently amazed that mythology still dominates the world. I'm quite enjoying being thirty.


And that's that.

Angrier with age. Gave less of a shit. Balanced out.

So I've got a youtube channel now (I'm so hip!). It'll have my lifting sesh videos on it, for anyone who isn't bored to cancer at the thought of such a thing.

I've never seen sorrow better evoked in art than with this picture (first panel). I guess having followed the story might help, but you don't have time for that.

This kid is brilliant.

Let's bring in a little bit of culture for a change. My favourite poet in my uni days (and still now, probably) was Philip Larkin, and this is one of his best poems. It's certainly morbid and perhaps...

So I've put away my first draft for three months before I revisit it to read it through and do the second draft work; in the meantime I've already started something else. Keep the ball rolling...

This is awesome. Read it.

'Your excuses are cancer to my ears. Leave me be. Take your weak mind somewhere else.'

Luckily my job gives me a lot of time to think.

Thanks dude. It sure is.

Just finished the first draft of my book about thirty seconds ago. Feels really, really good.

An excellent article by Johnny Pain of strengthvillain.com. I don't always agree with the guy, but this is some really good stuff. Original here.

Book first draft is done now save for a couple of little epilogues that I've had in mind for a while. I'll get them done tomorrow.


This is pretty cool.


Also, on a random note, I'm doing...

A bit of food porn.

Last night's dinner: (chicken legs, parsnips, carrots, red cabbage, butter):

It's nice to see something like self-control, normally so vague and slippery, get a little grounding in biology.

Very interesting study on glucose and self-control.

Self-control relies on glucose as a limit... [J Pers Soc Psychol. 2007] - PubMed - NCBI

Just got back from the Lowry Hotel restaurant in Manchester, paid for by relatives somewhat richer than I - very posh establishment. Fabulous food and expensive wine. Nice to see how the other half...

Squatted 106kg for 3 of five today, felt like I had a truck on my back. I'd forgotten what that 'how will I make the next workout' feeling was like.


It seems I've also briefly forgotten to stop...

So my 70s Big hoodie came today, which is pretty sweet (I'm wearing it to write this post). Not so sweet is the £13 customs duty I had to pay on it. Motherfuckers.

My book is nearing completion...

So I got some of the new(ish) Scivation Xtend BCAAs, because the heinous lack of blending with the Purple Wraath was driving me crazy. Plus I hate that face-tingling thing Purple Wraath (henceforth...

It's this relaxing life living on an oil rig, it's making you soft! Haha. But yes, this is going to be a hellaverously (not a word) awesome year.

Book is at 197 A4 pages and 118,000 words... the last bit is taking longer than I'd expected. Not long to go now though.

Happy new year to oddball posters and silent lurkers.
