I had a really long weekend hence the lack of posting. Keep in mind I do have a normal 9-5 job on top of my duties for Gaspari. This weekend was spent doing demo on the Gold Coast outside of Chicago. One highlight was hanging out with my good friend Alex who is currently in med school. He’s a lot like me but a few years younger. On Saturday night we met up with some old frat buddies and hit up some of the Lincoln Park bars. I wasn’t drinking but stacked some Cytolean with Piracetam so I was actually pretty “high” and yapping non-stop. 
I trained at the Lincoln Park Athletic Club which is a lot like my home gym. It’s clean, has nice equipment, and but I stand out a bit among the men wearing their loose fitting weight belts doing curls in the squat rack or swiss ball dumbell presses. It was quite funny but who am I to judge right? I was wearing an SDT (sorority at UW) shirt I stole from my first official college hook up with some Wisconsin basketball shorts. For some reason I filled things out better and didn’t look like a douche bag…or so I thought. Screw them. They were all a bunch of hacks anyway.

I first heard 3-6 Mafia while attending Cornell University one summer. My guy Eli was one of those Miami Jews with a great tan and way too much money. Needless to say, we hit it off pretty good decided to rent a PA system with Cerwin Vega Earthquake series speakers to boot for our floor rec room. After our first "get together" Eli was expelled from the program for exposing himself when the RA came in asking WTF was going on. Anyway, here’s to you Eli!

The low calories are making me a bit more psycho than I already am. Maybe its the lack of glucose for my wee little brain or perhaps its the fact my libido is through the roof on this stuff. I had the pleasure of firing someone today and I actually told him, "You suck." Is that professional or what? He did "suck" but I was quite rude and as usual the filter from my brain to my mouth wasn’t working.
Training is good. Diet is good. I just got the new Lean Xtreme 2.0 in the mail today (THANKS) and the bottle looks very nice. It should "pop" from a shelf nicely. As for the ingredients, 5AT looks to be interesting. I haven’t done any snooping yet but am excited because it was a really long word! I also picked up two bottles of FucoThin so I might run them concurrently after a bit of research after this log is up. We’ll see!

Another day another dollar. I must admit I’m turning into somewhat of a recluse in the real world. I don’t go out to lunch anymore with my coworkers because they don’t know the meaning of self control. I don’t go out on the weekend with my friends because to them, if you aren’t drinking you are "gay." It also doesn’t help that they know I’m preparing to pose on stage covered in body make-up and oil in skimpy trunks either.
On the up side I do have other things to keep me busy. I’ll be doing a bunch of demos and Bruce K has me doing some research on for a future project. I guess these days can be looked on as walking a narrow path blending both career and hobby. This time last year I would have never guessed I would be in this position in life.
