Tomorrow on Facebook!

As usual my feed is quite predictable... my magic crystal ball predicts the following for tomorrow:

Someone’s Performing Daily Vandalism. Girl likes boy or boy likes girl... way too fucking much. In an attempt to get attention or  perpetuate the delusion that there “may be something there”, he/she riddles their page (and anyone else’s posts on in) with nonsense... kinda like a territorial pissing contest, but more annoying than entertaining. I think territorial pissing should be left to men... at least they do it a lot better... either way, get off my feed. read more »

From Crack to Crackberry

So after my 6th iPhone (with an already nasty crack in the screen) took an unfortunate tumble out of my gym locker (which rendered the touch screen partially inoperative), I was yet again facing the nightmare of purchasing a new phone. Fortunately the touch screen somewhat functioned for another day or two before chipping into pieces and outright declaring defeat. Fifteen minutes later I stormed into an AT&T store and exclaimed that I needed a phone... Immediately. “One that could withstand that” I asserted, as I threw the remainder of my iPhone at the salesperson’s feet (Fat Guy). The gentleman said he had just the thing, as he detached two phones (cased in something that could pass for Military-issue) from his belt clip and forcefully threw them both on the ground. The salesperson next to him (Clueless Guy) decided to join in and threw his on the floor as well. A few others approached, but were hesitant to join in. After receiving a lecture on the importance of a “protective case”¹... my shopping experience commenced. read more »

Tonight on Facebook!

It seems at least 5 of my “friends” had a “siiiiicckkkkkkk chest workout” tonight. Great, it must be Monday, I don’t give shit.

S&M party pictures are up. Why is everyone so god damn ugly and why are all the guys so god damn small? A JP party really ain’t what it used to be.

242 of my friends changed their default photo. Of the 16 shown, not one is wearing a shirt (12 male, 4 female). Of the 12 shirtless men, I would have rather not seen 4 in anything sleeveless. Of the 8 hot shirtless men, 2 were gay. Of the 6 straight, hot, shirtless men, 3 had faces only a mother could love, 2 resided over 500 miles away and 1 I had already... had. *sigh*

10 Items of Less

...perfect example of the average adult’s lack of basic arithmetic proficiency, as some lady tries to justify her cart full of soda bottles as one item... I count at least twenty. The half-asleep clerk does not “count” at all... and rather than count the bottles and key in the quantity and scan one item* proceeds to scan each of the 2 liter Mountain Dew bottles individually. FML.

Lessons Learned:

  • The express lane is always staffed by the least competent cashier with lacking arithmetic skills and slothlike tempo... A predicament that results in the “express” lane being the most time consuming (at least at 7:30am).
  • The lady that is holding one item and a stack of coupons does not realize that none of the coupons are for the item she has selected. The cashier will point this out. A small argument will follow. A manager will be read more »

stubborn²

i hate being in unfamiliar situations.

That being said, I have grown very accustomed to the idiot-proof arrangement of literature at Barnes & Noble and would support any plans to eradicate the Dewey Decimal System at my local library.

i am stubborn.

That being said, I will not admit to a librarian that after circling the library for 45 minutes and cursing at the heavens in 3 different languages, I am still unable to locate the book I came here to find... after all, smart people know how to navigate a library... and I AM a smart person.... right? read more »

More Gym Stupidity

Some content stolen from my BodySpace blog from 2007: I do a lot of cardio, so I get to do a lot of people watching… as always I am pleased to regale all with some more stupidity I have witnessed in the gym in the past few days…

Weighed Down.
You know those weight vest thingies? Well… I understand wearing one while you climb stairs. I can somewhat understand walking in one…. BUT how does it help you when you are on a recumbent bike?! Someone please explain… its kinda like watching TV with a dumbbell in your lap. More amusing are the surrounding individuals who look at the guy with a straight face... read more »

Some Gym Stupidity

Some content stolen from my BodySpace blog from 2007: I do a lot of cardio, so I get to do a lot of people watching… as always I am pleased to regale all with the stupidity I have witnessed in the gym in the past few days…

Strapped On.
In my recent perusing of the various bodybuilding boards I frequent, I  keep finding posts describing some ridiculous misuse of straps...  now every time I see some kid get his out of the packaging, I pay special attention. Now, if said kid, would just read whatever is described on the packaging as “proper use”, he wouldn’t be compelled to try them out for his dumbbell curls. True story.  Douchebaggery with tricep-isolating-cable-related maneuvers has also been witnessed (cable pushdowns, if you’re trying to picture this). Similar douchebaggery has been observed on the bench press.  I am still waiting for some douchebag to use straps for their cable crossovers… going to switch to the treadmill closer to the cables to stalk... stay tuned. read more »
