So I've started taking protein supplements & decided to chart my weight gains over the next couple of months. It's hard to get accurate readings since I go to the gym at different times of the day, but I'm hoping to get a nice trendline by the end of the month. I'll probably upload a picture when it's been 12 months since the first pic. Also, major benefit: Girl at party says "ooo you have nice biceps" and squeezes my arm. I shake her off and tell her I'm not a hooker, she tells me that I should be. I think about it for a second and reply "I'll let you take a squeeze if you get me a beer" and it WORKED. I don't ever have to get up to get a beer again. That alone made my 8 months of hard work worth it :)

They're also good at fetching me beers. She can open beer bottles without whining? Marry her.

The last thing that made me puke was a whole lot of alcohol mixed with McDonalds. Can't get more classy than that folks :mrgreen:

thats uhh very uninteresting

Got a tub of Cyto Gainer (100% Whey protein) Chocolate power + chocolate milk = :thumbsup:

Just read the book/manual of the course on your own time. It's better than him storming in your room as you're trying to find a save point on FF7 and him flicking your Playstation on and off screaming at the top of his lungs <_< I could hardly get far in the game because he wouldn't stop freaking doing that until I explained to him I can't save until I reached a checkpoint :rolleyes:

I've decided to start taking supplements in shake form. My friends and I noticed we're already plateau-ing and we aren't advancing as much as we used to, so bring on the protein :mrgreen: I'll probably start with something whey based, it's what most people I know recommend.

The only real "advantages" are you obviously don't get overheated and you don't need icepacks after! :thumbsup: Actually, you're Lymph (a separate circuit of fluid that transports interstitial fluid to your spleen and lymph nodes, do not mix up with blood) is pumped purely by skeletal muscles. There's not "lymph heart" equivalent to the heart that pumps blood. Lymph is what transports the majority of our leukocytes and other defense cells to our lymph nodes to detect infections. Lymph nodes also filter your lymph before it leaks back into your body as interstitial fluid. All this to say, the more you move, the more likely your body will recognize attackers and the more quickly it can respond to them. This is a huge problem with bed-ridden people - their lymph is not pumped around the body because they aren't moving and pools in their legs due to gravity. You know those people with extremely obese legs? They have tapeworms in their lymphatic cavities which blocks lymph from going back up into the body and just keeps expanding the legs.

Isn't that a great thing? If you like being skinny as a twig. If you grow some muscle, it'll be very visible and "toned up", because there won't be any body fat to blur its shape (you need at least 3-5% body fat for men). Most of the time it's the people that are the skinniest that have the most difficulty to gain muscle mass. *points towards health & fitness*

Hooray for our attention spans. In summer our PE classes were outside... If I had a class on the first floor I would always sneak out the window and play soccer. I even climbed out of the second floor window once I was so bored, but they caught me that time :shame: Were you too slow, or too noisy? I essentially climbed down into the arms of the fat security guard, unlucky timing :thumbdown: Also, I CANNOT stop sneezing this morning. I'm just a mucus projective machine, waking up dogs all around me :shock:

7PM, just got over my hangover, going back out in 5 minutes :mrgreen:

The only reason why I fish for nudes is to prove to my friends that I am better than them. We often compare pics with each other, its just part of the teen lifestyle. I never send pics of myself, I'm not an idiot.

although im against talking about the weather on forums... ITS FREAKING -30 CELCIUS FFFUUUUUU- I hope it'll warm up for tonight, i'm going bar hopping :thumbsup: All the more motivation to get a nice lady in the first bar we go to.

:rolleyes: Hey 321ownage, I suggest you read Guns, Germs & Steel. It's probably the most complete book on human history (within the 500 page limit) and explains a lot about how humans got to where we are. It doesn't answer any of your questions, but it'll definitely interest you. Actually, it answers question 5 very nicely. [hide=my problem with your questions] As for most of your questions.. they all seem to have to do with sociobiology. The problem with this field is that you can almost never make generalizations about topics like these, and so research never takes off. Without answers to the questions you're asking, we can't go deep into the humanitarian questions. The basic inductive scientific procedure (which is used by all sciences, except math) goes along these lines: -I make a set of observations -I make a theory or model that explains these observations -I use the model to predict other outcomes I can observe -Collect those outcomes and see if they fit the theory This is where the "give me one example that contradicts my theory and I'll gladly throw it in the trash can" comes from. So many people tried disproving Einstein when he "came up with" his theories, but nobody could. In the case of sociobiology theories, any five year old can give a counter example to any theories made by psychologists/social scientists. [/hide] And that's why I avoid going into subjects like these. I don't feel like doing a 5 year project and have some ingrate disprove me the following year :mrgreen:

I dreamt that I died and that the afterlife was exactly like this life but I could teleport anywhere I wanted to. I mostly just hung around beaches with women volleyball players :rolleyes: Also, wow people are dumb. In my UNIVERSITY class nobody knew the answer and the TA wouldn't budge unless someone gave him one. It was a percentage, so there were only 100 answers and we started guessing. Someone said 50 and he told us we were really close, and the next three answers were 25, 75 and 90% :wall:

Waiting for 10 am Pacific for Steve Jobs to announce the release of the rumored iPad/iTablet. Will I finally have something cool enough to blow my scholarship money on? :thumbsup: I'm only starting to get into the full swing of university and it's already week 4 (of 13). I think I'm gonna get "what what in the butt"ed by organic chemistry :oops:

Excellent point. I already posted my thoughts and predictions about this phenomenon and I think it's really interesting. I think the most critical step in closing the human-animal gap was when scientists discovered we share 98% of our genes with chimps (or apes, let's say primates in general for our sake). This posed the question: If humans are so alike chimps, do chimps also have a soul? The role of the human sole got muddled in technicalities. If humans go to heaven, then surely apes, who share 98% of the code that makes us who we are, also go to heaven? For those who didn't shy away from the implications, this discovery really notched Humans down.

Since my days are all about using my brain, the only way I can relax is by turning it off for half an hour. So I play Modern Warfare 2 :thumbsup:

Tutorials are a complete waste of time. If attendance and in class quizzes weren't worth 25% of my final I would skip all of them. I honestly feel like killing myself when a TA tries desperately to explain something he can hardly grasp... good thing there's a hottie with a sexy raspy voice to keep me company for the two hours :thumbsup:

Yeah, I got that one wrong :oops: I always thought baking = eggs, I guess not!

Finally went to the gym for the first time in around 8 days. It feels so good to be physically tired that I'm more energetic :rolleyes:

I dress like a pro. I got some sweet Desert Boots for this Winter - some think they're disgusting and some want me in their beds they're so hot :cool: They're the boots that WW1 UK soldiers used to wear apparently, it feels like I'm walking on a cloud

I really like Conan, he's by far the smartest of all the late night hosts. It was a really huge [bleep] move by NBC, to promise the guy Leno's spot in five years and then, five years later during which Conan wasn't allowed to sign with anybody else, they boot him out after 7 months. Like, really. You don't do that to a guy who's been bringing in the ratings for 16 years. Now that Conan's gone and SNL is in the garbage, I see no reason to keep watching NBC :thumbdown:

Sherlock Holmes. Good fighting scenes, okay story. The ending (last fight scene) felt like they were shoving their symbolism down my throat :shame:
