Improvement and Selflessness
I’ve been approaching my weightlifting once more with renewed interest and vigor. I found that dividing the week up into separate days for each muscle group was much more effective. Four days a week, one each for legs, arms, back, and chest. It lets me hit each one with more intensity, put up higher weights, and make excellent gains as a result. My max deadlift hit 307lbs over the weekend,...

Knockin' Boots and Liftin' Weights
It’s not like I’m obligated to post here, and my new wireless keyboard seems hellbent on making this process much more difficult than it would ever need to be. And to think I’d bought it for the convenience! I guess that’s what I get for buying Lexma brand products. The key presses require indomitable strength to function properly, the backspace key (which is half the size...

Things both interesting and strange, about myself and about the strange, wonderful, life-long partnership in which I’ve found myself.

On Moving In
The only thing I find more daunting than moving into a new house is doing so after I’ve completed an arduous work day. Friday saw me going to work at “five in the goddamn morning” o’clock, working until “four in the goddamn afternoon” PM, and then tackling move-related tasks until “holy fucking shit it’s 10:00PM already” in the evening. I...

Am I tumbling it right?
Is tumblr still cool? Am I too late? I’ve more or less given up on my blog because I’m so disinclined to update it.
