The Chronicles of “B”

I’ve Been Infected!!!  I don’t know where it came from or who gave it to me but I have the "I Think I’m Gonna Die Flu" also known as the "If I Sh*t My Pants One More Time Flu I’m Just Lying Here!"  LOL!!  Just kidding!  Actually I’d just call my wife and have her come clean it up!  Yeah right…and Monkeys might fly out of my butt too! 

Right now I’m sitting here shivering my a$$ off with a 102 degree fever and I feel like King Marmosets father after a particularly vicious beating at the hands of his majesty.  For those of you who don’t know who King Marmoset is and wonder what the hell I’m talking about…just roll with it…I’m too delirious to explain right now!! 

Actually I’m having a hard time sitting here and typing this because of the shivering but I wanted to let all 3 of my faithful readers know I’m thinking of them and let you know why I haven’t written or commented much this week.  As soon as the shivering subsides and my fever drops below 100 I’ll be back good as new….or as good as I have a right to expect to be! 

Life would be so much easier if I would just get a lap top!!  Then I could take it into the little boys room and in between vomiting in the sink as I fill the throne I could write a few comments to my friends!!!  Of course there’s still that cursed shivering.  Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!  I get some of my best ideas in the bathroom anyway.   

Too much info you say….Sorry!  What can I say I have a fever!

Anyway that’s the straight poop…yuck!!!  I really have to go now….I think I see Jesus!!!  

"What a pretty light….and so bright………. 

I know, I know….this is gay but one of my favorite songs growing up was Somewhere Over The Rainbow.  Actually it’s still one of my favorite songs!

It’s hard to beat the original by Judy Garland….damn I sound old….but I love the new version by Kathrine McPhee which is why it’s on my playlist.  The reason I love this song is because of the words and the meaning behind them.  Stick with me here Metal Heads….some songs actually have something meaningful  to say….even oldie goldies!! 

Everyone dreams one time or another of going beyond the rainbow to that wonderful land of make believe where we can step out of ourselves….the place where we can make our dreams come true.  "Where troubles melt like lemon drops!"

How incredible would it be to go to a place like that?  To leave all the B.S. of our previous lifes behind us….just wipe the slate clean and start over!! I know I would sure like to go back and wipe out a lot of my blunders.  Just leave all that baggage behind and hope I don’t repeat the same mistakes over again.

If you have ever watched the Wizard of Oz (come on now I know I’m not the only one) you’ll remember though that Dorothy wanted to go beyond the rainbow and actually got the opportunity to do so.  Once there she soon discovered that it was not at all what she dreamed of.  She soon discovered that life beyond the rainbow was even harder than the life she had left behind and all she wanted to do was go back home.  Through all the trails and tribulations she learned….just in the nick of time that she had the power in her all along.

What power you ask????  The power she possessed was the power to change her own life.  It was right there before her own eyes the whole time.  If she had not been so busy seeking the greener pasture on the other side of the fence she would have seen it sooner.  But, like most of us she was too hard headed to see the obvious!  She had to hit rock bottom before her eyes were opened.  How many of us here have had to hit rock bottom before we see we have the power to change our world….our lives???? 

Remember what Dorothy said when she finally woke up in her own bed back in Kansas???  "If ever I go looking again for my hearts desire I’ll look no farther than my own back door!"  Moral here….don’t rely on others to help you reach your hearts desire…..the power is within you!!!  It’s always been in you!  

I recently read an article in AARP magazine….yes your youthful narrator reads magazines aimed towards old folks….that asked senior Americans about the prospect of an anti-aging pill.  Most said they would not take such a pill. In their minds, living longer equated with living more years in a senile, debilitated state.  And who could blame them!!!  Who wants to live beyond 100 years and wake up to look in the mirror the last 30 years of their lives to a wrinkled face covered with thinning hair?  UGH!!!!!  The goal should be retaining youthfulness not just achieving longevity. 

 Have you ever heard of a guy named Tithonus???  In Greek mythology Tithonus was granted immortality by Zeus, but not eternal youth. Thus Tithonus became increasingly debilitated and demented but being immortal would never die.  What a horrible way to spend eternity, Huh??? 

The average lifespan has been increasing at the staggering rate of 2.2 years per decade (or 5 hours a day) for the last 100 years. Relatively soon there will be millions of people living beyond the age of 100. That’s great, right??  Wrong!  The sad part is the increase in life expectancy is not matched by an extension of health.  The years we gain are mostly spent with disease, disability, and dementia!!!  The 3 D’s of aging!!

Another unfortunate factor is that it is much more profitable for pharmaceutical companies to develop drugs that keep patients alive but uncured, rather than curing the disease, which loses the customer. The situation is not helped by the charities and funding agencies that focus on preventing death rather than disease or ageing.  I mean lets face it…there is a pill for everything these days that helps control the disease but never actually cures it and the side affects are sometimes worse than the disease itself. 

That’s because they treat the symptoms rather than the cause!  And the big drug companies are drooling at the prospect of developing more drugs to treat a rapidly aging population! 

Believe me when I say public health authorities are being bought off by the commercial interests in health care. You’ll have to find your own pathway to healthy longevity and the best way to do that is a healthy regime of diet and exercise.  How many more ways can I say this??? 

We have the goose who laid the golden eggs right within our grasp!!!  The golden eggs would be a long healthy life free from the 3 D’s of aging!!!  It’s as simple as getting off your ass and picking up that weight in your garage that’s collecting dust and move it around.  Just 3 days a week of weight bearing exercise along with 30 minutes of light cardio each day (a brisk walk) and a healthy diet will help you to avoid the 3 D’s!!!  So get up and get started!!!!  Today!!

Although I am a true Rocker at heart I do on occasion listen to country music as long as it’s something with some drive like Montgomery Gentry or Big and Rich!!  The reason I’m letting you in on that little tidbit of info is that I sometimes watch CMT when I’m bored and there is a video on there by Brad Paisley (Don’t know if I spelled that right) titled, "I’m So Much Cooler Online! 

The premise of the video is how anyone can be anything they want on the Internet….even a thong wearing, bi-sexual nympho as we all recently learned! 

I often wonder as I’m trolling BB.com how many of the people in their profiles are in real life as they appear online. 

Just reading a profile doesn’t give you a real feel for who the person truly is.  I myself am not really as suave and sophisticated as I appear online.  Although still ruggedly handsome in real life I am about as "Get Back To the Earth" as one can get without living in a hippie commune!! 

I mean I bath daily and work for a living but I have a year round garden and grow almost every veggie I eat….and it’s all organic!  I have electric lights but we burn candles most of the time.  My last electric bill was $28.00!! 

We are far from being poor but I am very fragile as is my wife….we pinch every penny and every penny is accounted for.  I could afford a new vehicle but I choose to drive a 1987 Isuzu Pickup and a 1987 Honda Accord both of which look like shit but runs like a top.  We heat our house on sunny winter days with 2 solar space heaters that sit in our windows.  BTW I built them myself!  Right now the gas company owes me $187.00!!! 

People might also be surprised to learn that a head injury a few years ago wiped out a nice little chunk of my memory and now people I’ve known for years are nothing more than total strangers. 

The purpose of this blog was to give the handful of people who reads it a little insight into Bryan G the person not just the Internet icon!!  If anyone else would like to share a little bit about themselves please feel free…..just don’t tell me you used to work for the CIA or that you’re actually a thong wearing bi-sexual nymphomaniac!!!  uhhhhh unless you have pictures you’d like to share!!!   

I was just reading my good friend Ninja Bills blog and he asked the question…"What gets you excited?" 

My reply was that I get excited just waking up each and everyday fit and healthy and not feeling 50 years old!  I also said I live for having people guess my age at between 35 and 40 which happens all the time. 

This also got me to thinking about an article I once read that said seniors should not fight old age but embrace it…..what a pile of dog doo!!!  Embrace old age????? WTF!!!!

I can’t remember who the idiot doctor was who wrote it but he went on about how seniors spend far to much time, money and energy trying to stop something that is impossible to stop.  "We all age and we all die," he explained "And there is very little we can do to prevent that."  "Instead of fighting aging we should embrace it and learn to accept the changes our bodies are going through and age gracefully."

Ok!!!  I should embrace waking up every morning with a new ache or pain???  Accept failing eyesight and hearing just because I’ve had another birthday.  Accept the fact that I can no longer make love to my wife because my body is being ravaged by high blood pressure and diabetes and I can no longer get or maintain an erection.  Oh and lets not forget cancer and heart disease….loss of bone density, thinning skin, withering muscle mass, amputated limbs….sounds pleasant doesn’t it??  Well I’m here to tell you that no one…..NO ONE has to accept these as normal aging!!

One of my favorite quotes is…Rage!  Rage against the dying of the light!!!  I love that quote and I live by it!!  I am never giving in to aging and there isn’t a doctor out there that is going to convince me otherwise.

Listen to me…..if you are 50 years…60 years…or 100 years old it is never too late to start trying to regain control over your body!!  Not till the first shovel full of dirt hits your face!

It is as simple as saying I’m taking back control and start exercising and eating right.  Unless you like having all the ailments I previously mentioned.

I am here to tell you that you can actually turn back the clock and regain some of your youth if you just make a conscious effort to do so. 

There are many documented cases of people who were on deaths door that regained control of their bodies by changing their diet and starting a fitness program. 

They were Lupus patients, cancer patients, people with advanced heart disease and diabetes who got off their meds and started living their lives again.  Hell there are several people here who have done the same. 

A perfect example of someone who would not accept disease and old age would be the author of "The Makers Diet."  Google that and read his story…he had been to every doctor imaginable and no one could help him.  He was in extreme pain all the time and had given up the will to live and was just waiting for the relief that death would bring him.  It was a simple change in his diet and a moderate exercise plan that turned his life around from one of everyday torture to one of eternal hope.  Everyone here has the tools to make that happen….the only other thing you need is the desire and the discipline!!

Please, please, please don’t listen to anyone when they tell you…."Well that’s just a normal part of aging."  If someone…anyone tells you that tell them Bryan Gee said to kiss your ass and then go out and prove them wrong!! 

Well the truth is out!!!  Beach Beauty was a fake!!  Huh!!  Who was it that called he/she out the first day……let me see…..it was…..THIS GUY!!!!  LoL!!

You know what is really sad though is how many people were fooled by this crap.  Come-on guys!!!  I even had people telling me I was a hater and an ******* for picking on he/she!!  Get serious.

Makes me wonder about the reasons some of these people are here.  I mean I love looking at hot chicks and I am entertained when I read some of the blogs that tell of a members sexual escapades…hell I’ve made many a sexual innuendo myself but there were clowns sending nude pics to these jokers.  Plus I have chatted with a few of the female members here who tell me guys PM them all the time with their phone numbers looking to hook up.  Christ it’s turning into My Space or Love Connection or some shit!! 

Now there is nothing wrong with hooking up with someone but shouldn’t you wait to see if they are even slightly interested before you’re sending them nude pics and your phone number??? 

BTW if anyone is interested I have pics and my number is 555-555-****!!!  Interested parties should PM me as soon as possible!!  LOL!!!!!

As per my usual Saturday ritual I was just reading blogs when I came across a very interesting one by Viper1.

In Viper1’s blog he wrote about some of the controversy of member pics and how some have been taken down for showing too much skin while others seem to slip under the radar so to speak.

He went on to ask the question of the other members as to how they felt about having a separate area of the site that would require a log on and password where members could post pics that showed a little more skin then we are currently allowed.  

Here is my reply to his blog……..

 "I’m kind of on the fence on this!!  I absolutely think any profiles that contain nudity should be age protected and I don’t have any problem with nudity as long as it’s tasteful and as you put it…"highlights the beauty of a persons physique. 

I myself have been to nudist resorts and I’m not shy about shedding the clothes.  The problem is though  I could see it evolving into a parade of vulgar, legs splayed open, no holds barred, can you top this porn fest! 

Skin is the name of the game though in this sport…if you want to turn heads and truly show your muscular development you have to show some and who could blame someone who works so hard to have a perfect body for wanting to show it off. 

All of the greats have done some nudity at least one time in their careers…even Arnold!!  Even Muscle & Fitness Magazine has done nudity.  I see nothing wrong with a butt shot or maybe a little breast shot now and again but this is no place for shots of erections or crotch shots of any kind!"……………………………
…………………………………….

I would suggest you go to Viper1’s site and read his blog to see what he and the others had to say but I’m also curious to see how others feel….not that it really matters to the powers that be here.  After all it is their site….and a wonderful site it is….just as it is.  They are not about to change it because some idiot like myself writes a blog about it and I wouldn’t dare to presume that they should.

Like I said I’m just curious to see how others think and feel.

I have seen many pictures on here that were just plain nasty and didn’t highlight anything other then the fact that they were showing or almost showing their mommy and daddy parts.  But I’ve also seen many that were on the verge of showing the aforementioned parts that were simply spectacular and I left comments on those pics letting the model know just how much I approved.

I myself have posted a pic that could be considered vulgar, especially if you’re not into fat old guys, but that was not my intent.  It doesn’t really show anything and it was a personal joke and a dare between my wife and myself.

Anyway let’s here from you and really tell me what you think.  I would love to get a lot of opinions on this so pass the word. 

After 2 weeks of agonizing over my ab strain and laying on my ass doing nothing….this has been an awesome week.

Every workout this week has been dead solid perfect!!  By that I mean I pushed every set to the max.  I moved the weight till I couldn’t budge it not even one more centimeter.  I don’t think I’ve ever pushed myself so hard.  It hurt so bad after each one that I could barely crawl from my garage back into the house. 

God that is an awesome feeling when you know you have drained everything there is out of your muscles.  Monday I did chest and Tris and my triceps hurt so bad I could hardly straighten out my arms for the rest of the night.  Tuesday was biceps and hams and it was just the opposite of Monday night….I couldn’t bend my arms the rest of the night.  My quads are still burning from Wednesday and tonight I trashed my back!!!   

At the beginning of the week I was still a little paranoid about the ab and tonight was the first night I’ve really worked them.  There hasn’t been any pain though and I hit them pretty hard tonight. 

Eating to bulk has really been hard but I’m sticking to it.  Taking in 4000 calories a day isn’t hard when you’re sucking down Quarter Pounders with cheese and biggie fries and shakes but when you’re eating clean it is a boatload of food!!

I’m eating religiously every 3 hours.  I even get up in the middle of the night and eat a little snack and take some amino’s!!! 

The amazing thing is that I don’t seem to be getting any fatter eating all this food but I have a bunch of energy…likely from the 500 carbs I’m taking in every day!  I think I’m gonna like bulking!!!       

Not that it really matters and I don’t really give a shit but how much do you wanna bet that Beach Beauty, who is Number 2 in the top 6 is a dude and is yanking everyones chain??? 

Just read the blogs…..who the hell writes stuff like that on a BB site???  I love thongs????  Me too (on women…not on my ass!  LOL) but I’m not writing a blog about it.  And who would use this forum to tell the world they just discovered they are bi on their second day as an active member???  I’d also be willing to bet that if some of the members who actually did their time in Iraq would ask this person some questions about Iraq they would decline to answer.  That’s because it’s probably some quy who spends his whole day in Lesbian chat rooms pretending to be a chick and has brought his side show to BodySpace or it could be the guy is actually in Iraq and has nothing better to do.  Either way…it’s a guy! 

I could be totally wrong and if I am I apologize but I’d be willing to bet I’m not…wrong that is! 

Nuff Said!! 

Ok it’s time to be realistic!!  After taking 2 weeks off and doing absolutely nothing due to an abdominal strain if I’m to even have a snowballs chance in hell of competing in a contest in April drastic changes need to be made!! 

I decided that my best chance is to start bulking till the first of the year in hopes of packing on as much quality muscle as I can…..and then start cutting like a mutha in hopes of coming in lean mean and ripped in April!!  Even then I might not make it and I’m not stepping onto any stage unless I look good.  At any rate I think this affords me my best chance for April.

So, screw this abdominal strain!!!!  I’m gonna tighten my weight belt as tight as it can go….ignore any and all pain….and start eating all the good clean food I can shove in my pie hole till January!!!

I don’t know if I can stand to eat all that food but I’m gonna give it a shot.  Breakfast this morning was:

8 egg whites and 2 yolks scrambled with a slice of pepper cheese

1 bowl of steel cut oats with cinnamon

1 large glass FF skim milk

4 or 5 cherry tomatoes from my garden….YUM!!!

I had to choke down the last 2 bites of the eggs and as I’m writing this it is still rolling around in my stomach but so far it’s all good!! 

The lifting is going to be pretty simple…..do basic moves….lift heavy as hell….and do everything to complete failure.  I repeat with emphasis…COMPLETE FAILURE!!  There is no time for whining and excuses and neither will be tolerated any longer!!!  It’s time to get big!!!! 

Wish me luck and as always I’m open to any and all suggestions!!!  Have a great Monday!!!!

BTW Ninja Bill……Real Men really do have MASS!!!!!
