  1. Started catching up and then.. well. Stopped. Hello folks.

    off topic, but for you Shakeypants, I would like to train MMA, to change up my workouts, get me motivated again, but I fear I wouldn't like being punched in the face, kicked in the thigh or be choked out. What to do, what to do?
    I actually just started this last week. I needed something to make being active fun again because I hate the winter and find myself never wanting to get out of bed. Took the brazilian jiu jitsu classes last week as a bit of an intro and am going to the first muay thai/striking class tonight. pretty pumped for it. Also- look into reviews for different gyms near you. I don't know where "near you" is, but there tends to be a lot of them now.. Most offer a trial class so you can get a feel for the kind of person that trains there. I picked one with a mix of good dudes, not a bunch of tough guys with affliction t-shirts. Most times in the beginning of training you'll be hitting the bags or pads, not really getting full on popped in the legs/ribs/face/head. As far as the submissions, a good mix of people is key. At my place, everyone is really cool and tight-knit. They want to improve you as well as themselves, so no one has a problem releasing when you tap out and vice versa. That being said, the first time I put someone in the full-guard position was a bit awkward, but you get over it.
  2. I just can never seem to remember to come by here...

    so i didn't actually look into the program you're on, but i did decide to get off my ass and start working out again. i moved all of my equipment to the basement (free weights, bowflex, exercise bike), set up a tv down there to do some Insanity when i have time, and bought and hung a heavy bag (got some gloves and wrist wraps too)...so i'm set. i decided a way to keep myself motivated is that i'm going to snap a picture of myself every day for however long i keep this up (hopefully a year since i have a friend thats getting married next october and i am hoping to look my best for the single bridesmaids) and then turn them into a video or somethingto start i went 5 rounds with the heavy bag, and gotta say i can see myself sticking to a boxing workout
    That's awesome. i actually just started doing MMA training last week. I just went to the brazilian jiu jitsu classes last week, but today I start the striking class. Muay Thai and Boxing. Pretty stoked about it. I'll probably be training 3x a week since thats how the classes are broken down (Monday- striking, Wed- JJ, thurs- Judo/takedowns)Not saying I'm gonna be getting into a cage any time soon (if ever) but it's a sick work out and a lot of fun. That combined with some regular gym work and eating right and I should get in great shape pretty fast.
  3. and cw, Im not gonna say exactly what I make a year, but put it this way: the last time you were in mcdonalds, that 22 year old guy in the tie? he makes more.
    This is why I always end up reconsidering whenever I plan on leaving my job. It's the kind of job where there really is no happy customer, because the happy customers don't ever interact with you, and sitting in an office alone all day with long periods of absolutely nothing to do seems awesome, and is pretty clutch on days like this (hungover and tired) but starts to drive you a bit crazy after a while. Also, since I'm doing basically nothing all day, it makes the periods of time when I actually do have to work seem that much worse. But I get paid decently (i have terrible spending habits which makes it seem like less, but alas), my schedule is awesome and my only coworker is a milf.
  4. 2sDCt.giffuckin korean SC pros man
    don't judge me.and shake- what do u make a year? with all this pay talk i'm curious and am far too lazy to go look it up.on another note, i'm hungover and stuck at work all day. yaaaay
  5. yeah i myself was gone for a good 3 years or so before i wandered back around only to find it mostly abandoned...nowadays i check in about every other day or whenever i have a spare minute before work or whatever, but like always, i rarely post anything, and when i do it has little to no actual contentanyways, congrats on the defattening process...about a year ago i did Insanity and got in pretty decent shape, but it was too intense to keep up with after the initial 9 weeks, and alas i have since gotten back out of shape again...i'm looking to find a program that i can fit into my busy life style (full time job and full time school leaves me little free time), will give me results, and is something i can make a habit out of doing so that i can stick with it and not relapse (i keep starting but find it quite easy to give up after a few days when my back is up against a deadline wall for school)
    check out the youtube vids on sixpack shortcuts. i know. it sounds gimmicky but its not i promise. its just a comprehensive workout and meal plan kinda rolled into one. the real program costs 97$ one time, and ive been on it since may and it's done wonders.
  6. is there overlap between the people currently hanging about in various financial districts & those that are grief-stricken over a dead guy with all the money?
    i thought of that today. If i were more cynical I would've commented on the people live tweeting these protests from your iphone, but I'm far too lazy and apathetic to do that.
  7. I skipped over most of the Steve Jobs posts. I just need somebody to tell me if this will affect my life in any way. Note: I don't own Apple stock.
    The new iPhone won't double as a pocket pussy. That's pretty much what all the hubub is about.
  8. My argument boils down to two things:1. A CEO, in general, gets too much credit for his company's successes (and blame for failures). I'm sorry, but the generic random chick with an iPhone does not need to be mourning Jobs' death. It's not like he personally invented the first smart phone, refined it, built it, and delivered it to her door. Yeah, he gets some credit, but give me a fucking break, being all pensive about his death because iTunes is awesome.2. I disagree with your above statement. The world doesn't have to be completely ideal to add humanitarian merit into the equation. Maybe that's not true for the death of a friend or family member, but certainly for a public figure.My girlfriend made the only compelling argument I've heard today, that his death represents that of someone even younger than the parents of the Apple generation, so it hits home to those of us who haven't lost a parent yet. If a guy that age with that wealth could die of an illness...you know. I understand the emotional response connected to tha.
    I'm not saying I was sitting crying over my macbook when I heard the news because 1- I can't afford a macbook and 2- I really can't think of one celebrity or public figure that I'd be really, truly upset about if they passed. Ok fine, Kelly Clarkson, but that's about it. My thing is just that i salute the guy for his accomplishments, and thank him because it's his company (and yes, I acknowledge the work of the employees under him, but let's face it, there always has to be a figure head of anything. Head coaches, quarterbacks, lead singers, CEOs, they'll always get too much credit when things are going well, and take an unfair amount of heat when they're not.) that helped (not alone obviously, but helped refine to a large degree) bring us the medium in which we all read this stuff to begin with. Plus, I have a soft spot for the tale of the college drop out who became a success, and as cliche as it is, the "follow your dreams" and "do what you love" crowds. I hate a lot of aspects of my job, and love my life outside work,so i'll always have a soft spot for that kind of stuff. I read his commencement speech a while back that I really liked, and it did hit home to me pretty significantly, or at least as much as text summarized on a website could. But on the other hand, I was equally moved by a cartoon of Mario, one of which had him plumbing a toilet and the other had him stomping mushrooms that said "Quit your day job and do what you love".Regardless, I'd rather be reading debates on whether or not the guy deserved praise from strangers than people tweeting about what club they're going to tonight.
  9. I think you're way off on this speedz. We don't mourn people based on some abstract accounting of what their worth was to humanity*. We have emotional responses to what they meant to us.
    Agreed. It'd be impossible to indiscriminately care about every person that dies, so there needs to be some way of ranking them in order of importance. A saint who did lots for a bunch of people, but had no direct impact on your life (or anyone that's close to you) should get ranked below someone who had an impact on you, even if it's just your phone and gadgets, imo. Maybe not in an ideal world, where people are admired based on humanitarian merit, but what they did that affected you personally, but in reality. That sentence was awfully structured.
  10. SHUT UP AND DO THE JOB YOU WERE HIRED FORhaha, and hi
    herro.
    speedz: well internally you can't post out until you've been in your position for two years, so I've got a year to go there. and externally, I mean, I just got here, so nobody's gonna even look at my resume since they'd just see me as a job hopper. but really, the only thing I don't like about my job is the salary: I like the company, the people, the work I do, and the perks/benefits are pretty good too. just wish I wasn't paid half price. and when I asked for a raise, they told me they can't give raises unless you change jobs, either by posting out to another department or by them creating a new position basically for me (and I haven't heard anything about them trying to do anything like that since then).also: saving millions of lives does not allow me to jam like a schoolgirl to cults while mowing grass, so your point is moo.
    That's pretty much the exact opposite of my job. Been here for 3 years and have done everything there is to do (small company, that really only handles one small niche) and other than the MILFy employee at my store (who's also awesome) my pay is the only thing I can't complain about. For the job I do, I'm pretty grossly overpaid. For example, I'll probably be posting here all day til I leave at 1pm. I would've been doing this all along if I didn't kind of forget this place existed for a while. I randomly spotted a tweet from negreanu on some website after that whole Full Tilt thing happened and my first thought was about this place.
  11. motherfucker...but enough about the prodigal son returning for one comment then fading back into the shadows (we know, you're busy picking all the red m&m's out of the bowl in k.c.'s dressing room, and that for every one she finds it means cattle prod in the anus and brass knuckles to the scrotum...so you aren't trying all that hard but hey, you gotta make it look like it's "punishment")...
    Livin' the dream baby.Anyway, I honestly totally forgot about this place for a long time, or else I would've been back to say hi a while ago.I've been relatively busy with the band I'm in, as well as work (meh) and my recent fitness mission. I hit around 230 lbs last year and decided it was time for me to get un-fat, so I started working out hard (if anyone's looking for a good program to get on hit me up. I'll send u the link to the routine/meal plan I use) and eating right and am around 185 at the moment. No sleep til' six pack. I haven't played poker in forever. i don't think I remember how. What's up here?
  12. An eyes only message for Mr. Mexico:

    I'm sorry to contact you in this manner but this is the only way I know how. I am posting this here because I know this was and possibly is still your internet hangout of choice. I would like you to know that I have been suffering from a severe addiction to Veronica Mars as of late. I know that you have dealt with this condition in the past and would like to know how you've handled it. I started season 1 on Monday evening. As today I am on episode 16 of season one. I find myself daydreaming at work, band practices, even masturbation sessions wondering things such as, "Who killed Lilly Kane?" "What's the deal with the Kane kid's epilepsy/did it have to do with her death?" "Is Jake Kane really Veronica's father?" "Is the black kid going to put the moves on V?" "Why do people continue to do this girl favors during investigations?" Please help. I am off tomorrow and fear I may not leave my bed until I've watched all 3 seasons on Netflix. I don't think that's possible, as there are not enough hours in the day, but I'm just not sure anymore. I'm not sure of anything anymore.-CWP.S.- When I say, "Help me" I don't mean spoilers. Actually, maybe I shouldn't check back here until I've finished watching. Yeah, that's probably a good idea.

  13. Ok that's the last fucking straw Monsieur triple J. I am going to start a competing multinational corporation to take yours down a peg or two. Like Apple to Microsoft. We won't be as popular, but we'll have lots of snarky commercials.
    I'll submit my resume here then. I'd be applying for the "director of finding pics of sweet krissy" position.
  14. I've been saying this for a while now. It's too bad he doesn't know more powerful people. I'd probably hire a lot of sickies though.speedz99 - yesRon_Mexico - maybestrategy - yesRandy Reed - yes mk - yesEl Guapo - yesRhinestoneCowboy - yesSBriand - noSal Paradise - no LadyGrey - yesbeans-n-icewater - yesNapa_Don - yesTheraflu - noJubilantLankyLad - yesTactical Bear - yesbrvheart - noNaked_Cowboy - yesloogie - nohank213 - noDawson Leery - yesCaneBrain - yesvbnautilus - yesThat would be a fun interview process.Edit:11 User(s) are reading this topic (7 Guests and 1 Anonymous Users)3 Members: speedz99, Tailspin, LongLiveYorkeMinimum job qualifications included 500 sick thread posts. Sorry Yorke, you would've had a chance. Tailspin, I forget who you are.
    Don't make me affirmative action myself into this list.(affirmative action works for asians too right? or is it just blacks?)
  15. Well I guess it's a good thing I didn't rape her...I don't need anybody destroying the sacred beauty of BK by rolling up on me when I least expect it.
    Since I pretty much figured out where that story was going, I grew immediately concerned when I saw the mention of Burger King."Shit, I hope Wang didn't fuck up the place and cause something terrible to happen... like have them close or something."
  16. Putting on what seemed like was her sexiest face, she muttered, "I didn't wash my hands," and promptly did a swan dive onto the bed.
    I wonder, even in a wasted mind, what is that supposed to mean? "I might have some piss on my hand, wanna smell?""My hand was just relatively close to my vagina in a way that would make most men uncomfortable/disgusted" ?"I'm dirty. Not in bed, but in regards to my personal hygiene."?"I don't trust water"?"I didn't wash my hands which means I don't live by society's rules"?
