I dont know about you guys, but this term "Stalking" for friends just makes me uncomfortable.  I mean why cant they use a terms like " Awaiting Reply" or " Unanswered". Cause let me tell you, I just dont like to look up there and see that I am stalking someone.  Maybe it is just me, maybe I am a bit weird. To be honest, I have only stalked 3 people since I have been blogging, and I have been blogging for 3 months. I suppose if I did " Stalk" more I would probably get a wealth more info, and I guess I would if only the term was changed. I think that you should only have a "Stalking" section if someone has over a large number of "Unanswered" friend requests. I dont know…what do you think?

My goals for 2008 is a short and simple tri-fecta. More Weight, more reps and more sets!!

I am not gonna try to look too much farther than that. Just maybe try to increase those three every month. Cause by the time summer comes, I want my wife to be mad at me every time I take my shirt off! LOL

I have been reading up on Kre-Alkalyn, and it is supposed to have a better absorption rate than regular Creatine. I just switched over to it myself, and I was wondering if any of you have tried it, and which do you think is better?

I Really hate getting sick!! It started Sunday morning about 6am. Woke up and started pucking my brains out!!! ( Not to mention other things). Sorry I have’nt been around to post or comment, but that is why. I did try and workout yesterday, got about half way through it and got real queasy, so I stopped. I am starting to feel a bit better now. So maybe I will try again tomorrow. I am SO far behind in my schedule now dammit.

About 4 years ago, it was late August, I went into work early for a sunday night start-up. Me and another supervisor. And so we went on our rounds making sure everything was ready for all the people to come in. This is when I noticed that one of our Industrial Dryers was unplugged, so I plugged it in. At that point I was SEVERELY electrocuted. 480 volts to be exact. After I got done jumping and screaming I noticed that I was BADLY burnt. Both arms, from the finger tips to the top of my biceps were black with alot of fleash hanging off them. Suprisingly it took about 5 minutes for the pain to set in, in the meantime the other supervisor called an ambulance.

 Once I reached the hospital, the doctors there told me they could do nothing for me there cause I was too badly burnt, and I had to be life flighted to Cleveland Metro. About a half hour later I am in the burn unit at Metro when they tell me both arms are 3rd degree burnt. ( 3rd degree means you are burnt ALL THE WAY TO THE BONE). After pumping me full of ALOT of morphine, I was taken to a room where 2 nurses stripped me naked and bathed me ( that was nice . But after the bath they started ripping off all of the skin on my arms, and what they could’nt rip off they cut off. Essentially they peeled me to the last layer of skin that I had. While I am getting peeled, A sugeon comes in and tell me I might have to go into surgery. "WHY" I ask. She says that if my muscles are burnt beyond the point of repair, she will have to remove them!!!!!!!. Needless to say, I just skimmed out of that one ( WHEW!!!). Now the next morning, when they removed my bandages to clean the wounds I looked like Freddy Krueger on a bad day. They told me not to worry, because when I am completely healed I would barely notice the scars. Of course I thought they were lying to me. But they turned out to be right.

Now for the next month, my wife drove me an hour one way, every day to get me wounds cleaned and dressed at the burn unit. After the first month they taught her how to do it. and she cleaned and dressed my wounds for the following 3 months.

Now during all this, my wife not only cleaned and dressed my burns. But she had to clothe me, bath me, put my shoes on, help me in and out of the car and aim my winkie when I had to go pee. And yes I went through the pain of wiping my own butt, cause I would’nt put her through that.

And she did all this for 4 months and not once, NOT ONCE, did she complain or make me feel helpless.

Now by the time Christmas rolled around, I had the last of my bandages off. And my best Christmas present that year was being able to truly hug my wife for what she done. And it did’nt even hurt.

The longer I am on Bodyspace, and the more I check people’s profile, the more I notice that Alot of people here are from Ohio ( like myself ). Now this brings a question to mind. Are people from Ohio just a bunch Hard Core, Body Building mo**er F**kers? Or is there just nothing better to do in Ohio besides lift weights and shovel snow? Hummmmm…….

On my days off, my protein intake is about half of what it is on my workout days. Plus I try not to eat as much. Do ya think I should keep it lowered, or keep it the same level as on the days I work out?

Well I have finally rounded out my suppliment intake and broken down all the numbers to optimize my diet.

The following numbers are just in suppliments, it does not include what I eat.

Calories = 1595

Protien = 158

Carbs = 123

Fat = 23

Now I just have to tweak my diet a bit, and I should be exactly where I want to be.

The suppliments I take are these..( drank with 2% milk)

Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold standard Whey.

Russian Bear 5000 weight gainer.

I did not include the Creatine, BCAA’s, Fish Oil and Nitric Oxide I take in those numbers.

Also know that I only take half a serving of the Gainer, cause a full serving is just too much.

So yesterday I am at work and I am talking to a few guys about working out, and I tell them I still would like to have a few more pieces of equiptment for my workouts. One guys says "Like what?" So I tell him, "ya know, stuff like a better bench, a few other things and a treadmill." So he tells me, " Hey man, I have a treadmill, the people that just moved out of the house I bought left one in there, looks to be in good condition. You can have it if ya want it." So I tell him Hell Yeah! So I picked it up after work, and the thing is in MINT CONDITION!! And Holy Crap is it fast, I can barely get the dial half way up!

So I just got a Mint Condition Treadmill for FREE! Whooo Hoo!

Bring on the Cardio!!

Where I work there are alot of younger women ( 18 to 25 ) and I have noticed something about this new fashion trend that these girls seem to be sporting. Muffin top pants! Now these girls normally have a nice chest and a nice bottom but they wear tight half cut shirts and tight low rise pants. And now their guts are hanging out and drooping over their pants. Looks like the top of a cupcake or muffin! Now I am not sure why these girls think this is attractive, dont get me wrong I dont mind a thick woman at all, but they seem to be complacent with how this looks. I just find this stange, most women try to accentuate their attributes, not their short comings. Its just seems to me that with this kind of thinking, this obesity problem is no longer a problem, it is the norm. Bummer huh!
