Especially when you get to that place where it's harder to not workout than it is to workout :), you know?

Being in good physical shape definitely translates into good mental shape.

[quote][FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica][SIZE=2]The Iron is the best antidepressant I have ever found. There is no better way to fight weakness than with strength. Once the mind and body have been awakened to their true potential, it's impossible to turn back.

The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds.[/quote]

[QUOTE=Garrick;927829]does this not happen in the rest of the world? i am definitely not world-travelled so i have no idea, but thankfully don't see this happen very often ever wherever i go... thank god.

sorry to hear about that kamal. at least you have better judgment to know not everyone is like that.[/QUOTE]

The only time in my life I've been called an American has been in Europe. LOL... grew up here, but was born in South America. That's why I love being there. I'm no longer the " spick " or whatever else people here think I am.

Re: Racism in 2011

Awe Kamal...that sucks ass! Can't believe the idiocy that survives in our society and the loose booze tongue that has no filter screening capabilities. What a cunt.

Florida...You must be joking about most people in bars being sad, depressed, lonely etc.... what bars do you go to? I'm a bar fly and def not a hopeless person in society. Just out to have a few and meet and chat with cool peeps. And as for bartenders...I have quite a few friends that are bartenders and they're intelligent, functional, fun and great people who have chosen a career in the service industry. They make quite good coin too!

Middle Americans in "thick as pigshit" shocker. That's shite to hear and frankly trying to deal with stupidity and ignorance can be a losing battle.

Re: Racism in 2011

[QUOTE=Kamal;927663]Gotta love it in all its glory. Got called Habib while drinking in a bar tonight and was threatened to get kicked out when I retaliated. There's some parts of the Yooonited states of America I love being a part of.

Some of the highlights of the evening "

  • Speak English Habib, when I asked what she was speaking, I got a "I"m speaking American"

  • Other fascinating words - "Go back home Habibi", I asked, "where you from"? She names some God forsaken farmville in MD, I asked "Where are you originally from" and she says "Ireleand", so I said "what does that make you, she goes "Irish you Habib",

Then the bartender goes, "Sir please mind your language", and I said "or what, you gonna call the cops?" I said "call the cops and I'll call your boss (I know him very well cause he did all the work in my house - and she just kept quiet".

I'm just sad to be a part of this America in fucking 2011......[/QUOTE]

Damn dude. I'm truly sorry to hear this. :(
