Feb 2016. 10points if you know where I was in this pic.

Guys, you really need to lay off the tiktok videos. At this rate by the end off the year, most of you won't even be able to spell tiktok.

Old picture of me at fantasy junction. Aug 2015.

At times in the past, I liked to think of my body as my car(even if I had a car at the time). The more money and work I put into it, the better it looked and performed.

 

The journey is real.

Me in 2012.

Definition: a statement of the meaning of a word or word group or a sign or symbol. Example: dictionary definitions

In case you were wondering, the "Suave" is actually stronger than the "Forte."

Plot twist: I'm secretly my own trainer.

Remember guys, YOU choose to say what you say.

Ha this one unfortunately made me think of some of my family members. And this applies to both men and women.

I think that encouraging everyone to earn MORE respect than they already have, is a GOOD thing.

I was so happy back then. 2015.

Guys I think we have to clear up the definition of nice when referring to a person's personality. Being nice means nice in terms of manners. Lol. You do realize people can literally HATE you and still be super nice to you. And I'm not saying DONT be nice to people. Lol. I'm not saying be rude to people. But people can be perceived as NOT nice based on physical appearance alone even if they are actually nice lol. And actual bad people can be perceived as nice based on physical appearance alone as well. Just because someone is "nice" when you meet them does not automatically mean they are a good person or even did any real good things at all. You have to actually know them to know those things.

Also another thing, some people seem to be so confused these days that they think the word nice even means smart or intelligent. And I've got more to say and add, but I'm going to post this now. Check back for more in a bit.

Being Nice is NOT an accomplishment.

When people want simple things done fast, but don't want to admit basic clear communication will help them, that's when things get bad.

Man I had one of the best turkey sandwiches in years today at the "Crust deli" in Milpitas.

It's pretty damn good.

"Knowledge fosters criticism and doubt. But the man who has no criticisms, has no mind. And the man who ceases to ask questions, ceases to exist." -Alan Ashley-Pitt

Just because an artist makes a disturbing piece of art doesn't mean they are evil themself.

Another reason...

Why you shouldn't back up someone you know is stupid is because when you do that, that person goes and does the same thing for people who are more stupid than them. And I'm not saying be mean to stupid people for no reason, I'm just saying don't back them up.

Hadi Choopan wins and Nick Walker 3rd place! Told ya. 

My thoughts on pork

So I rarely eat pork, but my friend gave me some today so I figured I would discuss it a bit(old picture btw). So the main reason I don't eat pork much is because it has a higher fat content than both chicken and beef. A 3oz serving of pork contains about 12g of fat while 3oz of chicken has 2.7g and beef 7.6g. And all three have about the same protein content(although I would say beef has atleast 1g more). It doesn't taste better than chicken or beef to me, it just tastes different. Also, whenever I eat it I tend to get kind of bloated and have this sluggish energy feeling afterwards for the remainder of the day. So there you have it, that's why I don't really eat pork much, but I do enjoy it every once in a while!

I just went to the grocery outlet to specifically buy canned tuna and it was COMPLETELY sold out, wtf. There's always a ton of it there. I'm happy if the people who bought it did so because they are feeling inspired to get in better shape. But god damn there's usually atleast 100 cans there, if not more at any given time.

MR. Olympia prediction

With the recent shocking news of the Liver King being found out as not natural and the Mr Olympia starting in 2 days, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about any Pro bodybuilders I follow lately. Although I don't watch most of them and do not aspire to look like a professional bodybuilder myself, one guy that I've found to be impressive is Nick Walker. I first noticed this guy when he won the 2021 Arnold Classic, and I have to say this guy just has a unique freaky shape to his body and gets shredded. So I am interested to see how he will do at the Olympia. My prediction? Top 3 I would think. So there it is folks, whether you're on the sauce, not on the sauce, or just love eating pasta sauce, I think most of us can appreciate an impressive physique so let's see what happens.

Back to the fitness stuff. Did people really think the Liver King was natural? I mean I was fooled by a lot of the fitness models when I was younger, but this guy was just silly from the beginning. It didn't even seem like he was trying to fool anybody. I always saw and liked the guy as a fitness " entertainer." But notice keyword entertainer there.

Learn to identify people who are usually wrong and try NOT to listen to them. And be honest, don't defend people you know are stupid, because you aren't helping them. You are just telling them it's ok to keep failing on everything. And if that keeps up the rest of their life, one day these people are literally going to be on their deathbeds confused why so many things in their life didn't work out.

An example of Appropriate use of Feelings:

Asking yourself questions like, " Does my body FEEL healthy?" " Does my mind FEEL healthy?" " Do I FEEL like I have a cold?" Or a guy or girl asking themselves if they FEEL attracted to him or her.

Then the answers would be "My body FEELS unhealthy." "My mind does or doesn't FEEL healthy" " I FEEL like I have a cold." That's how feelings are appropriately used. Not "I FEEL like he caused the car accident"(when the facts say otherwise) or you FEEL like someone should be your friend even though you've only known them for a week.

People you CAN NOT literally joke around over 50% of the time with someone you barely know and then all of a sudden say something you're serious about in the same joking tone and expect them to know you're actually serious.

If you intentionally choose to be a character known for never being serious then you cannot blame other people for seeing you as that.

An example of inappropriate use of feelings

Scenario: you call your best friend to hangout and they explain that they don't have time that day because they are busy with school, work, and visiting family. However, you FEEL that they do have time to hangout that day. And you get extremely upset.

Everytime I meet someone I don't know and doesn't know me, who gives me that, " He acts like he doesn't know me look." ..... I'm like oh boy, here we go again...

And I've been trying to explain this to everyone for the last 7yrs, but there's always those idiots that don't want to listen, and end up adding super avoidable problems to their lives and those around them.

I am not some anti feelings/ anti emotion guy. But most people are using their feelings when they shouldn't and not using them when they should.

These days, from a fitness standpoint, you pretty much have to automatically give some respect to anyone pushing a non motorized scooter or skateboard. Just saying lol.

Do people seriously not realize that me and other fitness people DO actually get bored af of going to the gym. But we still go. Lol

You know for me personally the most disturbing thing I encountered during the entire pandemic was when I would remind people(either friends, family, or people I knew) that we DIDN'T WANT more of things we had both agreed that we didn't want more of, and they would turn in silence and look at me like what I was saying made absolutely no sense. Lol

I'm serious, it's funny but it's also not.

Sadly alot of adults these days need to learn this or relearn this. And no I am not posting this as a joke.

An elevation of the senses, May help break down some fences.

I think more people need to be aware, especially smarter people, that sometimes going with your "gut feeling" about something, even if you are right 9.99/10 times! Can still end up with you being 100% damn wrong.

The difference between Nice and Kind.

Which one are you?

This is a bit of an abstract thought here, but I'm observing more and more people who have a disconnect with the physical realm are also the same people who believe that things that you both know(especially super basic things) have to be somehow physically visible at literally any given moment in order for it to be real, true, or even exist/have existed. It can be funny to see this, but it's more bizarre in a bad way.

If you are ever shopping around for instant coffee and you see this Nescafe original "extraforte" and are wondering if it's actually stronger than the classic one, the answer is yeah quite a bit stronger. And a lot stronger than instant Folgers as well.

Well, it's hot as hell over here and I decided to do some reading on how the body functions differently in hot weather as far as "Does it actually burn more calories? Etc." So thought I would share this article, it has a lot of good information.

It's crazy observing people who watch tiktok videos all day and how they are totally unaware that they are further melting what's left of their brain with each video they watch.

With the way most people think(or I should say, are not able to think) these days, I'm honestly surprised people are not driving way worse than they are.

I have to say StarKist tuna tastes way better than chicken of the sea.

For Real.

from "wannabe food" Facebook 

More people need to think about how little "evidence" they require to decide if someone they don't know is bad, but even more importantly how little "evidence" they require to decide if someone they don't know is good.

I don't know if you guys have noticed, but alot of times the people who commit the worst crimes look like "normal" nice people. There is NO rule or Law that says a sick evil person HAS to look like a stereotypical bad guy. Lol

From "fragments of my mind"

At this point it's not only that most people don't know anything, but I'm pretty sure most of them don't even know what the word "know" means. Almost like it disappeared from the dictionary and existence or something.

From "coffee soul wine"

Don't you hate it...

When you buy that whole rotisserie chicken that looks nice and tasty, only to discover the inside is undercooked.
