I think I'm going to leave DGI up and running until phpbber.com gets tired of me wasting their bandwidth with a forum that's so rarely used and closes it themselves. And yeah, add me on Facebook :) *points to www thing below sig area*

I think it's funny when people go through and add everyone in their network so that they look like they have tons of friends when they probably talk to just a few irl. I'll stick to just adding the people I talk to and people I know online ;)

Of course there are legal ways, but the number of people and the types of people allowed to use those legal ways have been greatly narrowed in the past 50 years. It all comes down to whether you think immigrants are causing a population problem, or whether a population problem even exists. I wouldn't say the population is a problem. In my eyes it more or less what I stated above and the idea of our current unemployment rates and the families who -even if they'd rather not do it- could use those jobs -currently held by illegal immigrants- to feed their families.

I do the same thing.. Though I usually end up with a big mess on my hands and a miricle to pull off, it just seems like the better of the 2 in my eyes.. Vlead, I know how you feel. I tried wrestling for my first time this year and it took so much time out of everything I had to do and on top of it I just didn't like the sport. A week in I realised I wasn't going to be able to wrestle at meets with my grades and I was missing my karate lessons because I was so sore. So I decided I would rather get my grades up a little and keep up with my karate lessons than spend the next 3 months in a sport I didn't like. So I quit and my dad was pissed as hell for a day, then he got over it. If you decide to quit, I hope you mother gets over things easily.

I hate doing any homework at anytime.. I really hate 2 faced people. They piss me off with how fake they can be..

I wouldn't say we're full. I'd more or less say they've broken the law and if they get caught, they get punished. If any of us break the law and get caught, we're punished. Why should we start giving them special privilages? There are legal ways to enter the US and those ways should be used.

Not sure what you imply by that, but if you're talking about building mass, high reps is a guaranteed recipe for failure. On the contrary you should increase weights every few weeks/months and keep the reps low. For 'toning' excercises that's a totally different story though. If he means high reps as in the 10's - 13's hes right. But if your doing 10 reps for your final set, WRONG. >.< But i guess if your really bulking for mass then keep it under 3-5 reps. Yup, I was meaning just around 10 reps, because it seemed to me he was doing around 1-3 reps on the Bowflex. 1-3 on a Bowflex? As I said, those aren't worth the money. If I could only do 1-3 reps then I would still be building muscle with it and it wouldn't be worthless to me. When I lift free weights I make sure that -on my last set- if I go for a fifth rep, my spotter is going to be the one getting that bar off of me. If I can do 10 reps, I'm merely toning and not going for my goals.

I...I...I had a Xanga. :oops: You're my friend on Facebook, Ryan. Hah I had a Xanga a long time ago too :P And yes I know you're my friend on Facebook lol. I'm pretty sure I put you on my top friends ;)

I'm going to guess this is more or less for movies with a lot of nudity aka pron.. Psh, the internet has more than enough of that. I'd rather see that alone on my computer than in a movie theater with a bunch of other dudes..

Benny Benassi all the way bro 8-) DJ Markski and Ferry Corstan are good too :)

Want to know why they try to be emo? Because they know it will sell CD's. It's cool with me if they want to change their image from time to time in order to sell what they're making. I've been a fan for a long time and I don't need clothes to tell me if a band is good or not. It's the music I care about.

White > red You might like it when you get older.

Not that I imply you're bodybuilding/trying to gain muscle mass (correct me if I'm wrong), just thought to point out: Extended cardiovascular activity like running, jogging, etc... Decreases your muscle mass, but adds to your endurance capability. Trust me, you wont find many 'ripped' marathon runners with tons of muscle mass. :) Maybe we have different ideas of running/jogging. When I think of it, I think of 30 minutes tops. Not trying to get in marathon shape, just enough to burn some fat and keep you looking good. High reps, my friend, high reps. As BlueLancer said, that's just asking for failure. High reps with a weight that is fairly easy for you is used for toning. Oppositely, a low amount of reps with a weight that is difficult for you is the way to build muscle. The point of having a high weight and increasing it is to increase how much you can lift thus destroying your muscles and having them rebuild themselves bigger and stronger. Water breaks are for wimps :P I'd rather keep up the pace and run through it then rehydrate after I'm finished. Though I'm the kind of person who won't get back on the treadmill once I get off (though I'm much happier running outside).

I have two scythes in my cupboard :-w They were a gift from my sensei after finally learning Chinto, a kata that was traditionally performed with the weapons. They are blunt down the edges but still weight about 2kg each and have a point which would break bones/ impale with a good thrust. Wow, very nice. It might not mean much to a lot of people but I've been practicing Tang Soo Do 4 nights a week for the past few months and I'm just getting down things like Ki Cho Hyung Il Boo/E Boo/Sam Boo. Now I've gotta get 'em down good because I test for my orange belt in a few weeks :) I looked up Chinto on YouTube to see it performed. How long did it take you to learn that? /impressed

At this time my room is slowly turning into an arsenal of close combat weponry. Looking around I can see swords (short to long), small knives, large knives, throwing knives, throwing stars, butterfly knives, a set of [bleep]ey brass knuckles that hides 2 small blades on each side.. Hopefully I'll have more time to continue increasing my defenses before they attack :ohnoes:

Agreed : I'd recommend running more if he's looking for more toning/fat burn. Running is amazing for your body :) Also you could do a short run before a workout to get your heart rate up and get that energy boost ;)

I've cursed like a sailor since I was 8 years old and still do to this day. I didn't hear rap music until I was 10. Rap can't make me curse more. I was raised in a pretty low end neighborhood and I just picked it up from the kids around me, not the music I listened to. And those "disgusting variations" give character. What if we all spoke perfect English? Conversations wouldn't have the jazz they have now.. "How are you doing, Ray?" "I'm doing quite well Deloria. How is your family doing?" "Very well. Very well indeed.." BORING! Mix it up, throw in some accents, some slang.. They stuff you take for granted and claim to hate but you wouldn't want to be without it.

I love MCR but I've got to say The Black Parade was the absolute worst album they made. I'll crank the stereo to max when I play anything by them except most songs off The Black Parade.

Find me a 400 lb log -that I can easily balance on my shoulders crossing behind my head- so I can do my weighted calf raises. Yeah, manual labor isn't going to build muscle like weight lifting would. Splitting firewood would be like toning. You're not really pushing your body to the point your muscles are all torn up and are basically useless until they've repaired themselves. You're just using up all your energy and burning a lot of calories. As for a bench press being the only lift.. I can see that if all you care about is your chest and arms (not a signifigant amount). You need more than that if you want your body in top shape. Curls for your biceps, tricep press down for your triceps, lateral pull down for your lats (or pull ups but the lat pull down > pull ups), etc.

I'd have to say it's more or less 75% tone 25% mass. And if he's looking for toning he can do it all for free. You can tone basically your entire body using just your body and simple things from around your house (as well as a good diet). He could save a hell of a lot of money if he's just looking for toning.

I have both but I prefer Facebook. I don't have to worry about loading all those crappy backgrounds when my internet connection is crap plus everyone in my school has Facebook so it's just easier than trying to get everyone to convert back to Myspace or even Xanga (if anyone remembers that hah).

I strongly advise against any type of Bowflex or revolutionary workout machines. The classic machines are what you need to get ripped. I can easily do all the weight on a Bowflex machine (which is now collecting dust in my basement) but once I got freeweights I found out I'm nowhere near as strong as I thought. Those Bowflex machines go up to like 250 lbs but with free weights I max at 175 lbs (bench press). If you're really looking to get ripped, get some free weights and a spotter. I can promise it will be harder and you'll be far more sore than with a Bowflex, but you'll see better results. These days I honestly wouldn't use a Bowflex for anything more than toning.

Music is definitly at the top of my list. Karate, sexual jokes, just hangin with the coolest people I know and havin a good time, kickin some arse in Need For Speed, seeing a great piece of art, reading a good poem/story.. That kinda stuff.. :)

1. Anti-lies, not a false statement, etc 2. God and Buddha 3. God - No evidence for or against him, so why not give him a shot? Maybe he's real, maybe he's not. But we'll never know. Buddha - Buddhism is just the religion that speaks to me. There's something about it that just seems right in my mind. 4. What?

English is my primary language. I've studied Spanish for the past 3 years and I could at least survive a trip to Mexico if I had to. I'm currently studying French and beginning Korean (I've got 1-10 down and a few commands for karate). And then I know maybe 3 or 4 words in Japanese. Easiest language to learn was Spanish, and Korean is definitly the hardest I've tried..
