So much has gone on this weekend and today that I feel like yelling at everyone. I guess the best thing to do is to get it all out.
1st the Saturday doomsday prediction. I'm so angry for the people that gave away everything and spent all this money based on this guy's prediciton. A prediction he made once before and was wrong. I mean the guy hasn't come out to say something one way or another. I know what's going to happen. He's going to pull what they all pull and say because we were so faithful god must have changed his mind. Or that we need more people to be faithful so that we have 200 million people to rapture. Honestly whatever he says I wish people would stop blindly following people. Of course people are going to keep following people though. Just amazes me how easily people are to think the wold is going to end. I guess because it gives them a sense of knowing when the end is. Just when I hear the stories that people quit their jobs, drained all of their savings, moved to California to find out that it didn't happen.
The other thing that got me to want to yell is that Red Hat was at the gym again. I have no clue what the hell this guy's problem is. I go into the gym and I hear him in the back using the smith machine for the bench press. Well when I finally get back there he's still on it so I use the cables. Well he finishes and does he wipe down the bench. Of course not that would be a nice thing to do. So I wipe it down before I use it and I know he saw me. Then I wiped it after I finished which I know he saw too. Then when I got the decline bench again I know he saw me wipe it down before and after. Yet he will wipe down the other machines like the tricep extension or any other machines out on the floor.
Two things that happened to me on the way to work today. I'm on a street getting ready to make a left turn at the stop light. There is a truck in front of me. The light is red It's a three way intersection so the red light is for us. He pulls his truck into the intersection. No joke. Then realizes that he can't go and backs up. Lucky for me I didn't move up any so when he backed up he didn't hit me. Then when the light turns green he just sits there so I have to honk my horn. Then as I'm pulling into work a woman decides that she wants to walk across the street. She saw me and decides I'm going to walk anyway and make sure I walk really really slowly.
Last night I get a call from my dad saying my mom has written a letter. In the letter my mom apparently says that my dad should send me money. More specifically money for a new car, my trip down to Texas, and to start college. She also said that we should sit down and discuss my future. Well my dad and I think alike. We are more rationally people. We react to things people tell us not so much what people tell us that other people said. Don't get me wrong. I do talk to my dad, but I do talk to my mom every week. Well lately our conversations have gotten shorter and shorter and I don't think she really hears me when I say things. She told my dad that my car is constantly breaking down. No that's not true. My car broke down once or twice, but hasn't since I got the repairs. Then I got new brakes and tires. That is a maintenance thing. That's not a break down thing. She then said something that made my dad have to ask me if I want to come home this summer. Honestly I do. He said ok, do I need to send you money because your mom is saying that you need money for the trip. No I don't because the tickets have already been purchased and paid for. He then asked me about this sit down. He said I know you told me that your mom and grandma have been pushing you to go back to college. I said that's true. He said well hey it's your future. If you want to go back to school then go for it. If you don't then you don't have to. It's your future. The more I talk to my mom the more I realize we are very different and not as close as I thought we were.
Finally is something that really frustrates me. If you live here in the United States speak and understand English. I'm not being racist or anything. I'm being realistic. Think about it. How can you get help on anything if you can't communicate? If I'm going to Spain I'm either going to have a translator or at least speak and understand enough Spanish to get around. It frustrates me having to wait on someone that I can't understand or can't understand me. Part of my job is finding the right product for the person. If a person wants a pre-workout to get the best pump then I know what to recommend. If they are looking for something to help with headaches I ask them about the headaches to make sure I get the right thing. If the person speaks broken English then I can't really help them. I can't answer their questions because I don't know what the question is they are asking. I can't recommend things because when I ask the question they don't understand. It's not fair to them and it's not fair to me. I end up giving up and just telling them to go with something simple. And that's not fair to them because they may want something stronger. It's like when you go to the doctor. If you can't describe your symptoms to the doctor or show them where the pain is they just guess and sometimes get it wrong. It's just in everyone's best interest if you can speak and understand English. Especially if you are in the food industry. I can't tell you how many times I had someone wait on me who couldn't speak English and got my order wrong.

Where is the logic
Today I'm just in a ranting mood. I guess I'll start with the people working on the street in my neighborhood. The street they are working on is one of the streets parallel to the highway. Well they decided to block it off so there is no way to get to the highway from where I am or get to my apartment from the highway, so I have to go around the back which tacks on another 10 minutes maybe even 20. Did they give anyone a heads up when they were going to do it? Of course not. Were there any signs up nope, but now there are. Thanks a lot.
Now about this end of the world thing on Saturday. There are two things I'd like to point out. 1. the guy predicted the end of the world in 1994. 2. The guy is 89 years old. I can honestly say I don't think he's in his right mind. Not to mention that we've had so many people tell us when the end of the world is and they've been wrong. If he's right then I'll take it when it comes. If he's wrong (bet he is) life goes on and we make even more fun of him. The fun thing about being human is that we don't know when we will die or when the world will end. That means we enjoy life, but every time someone comes around saying the world is going to end next week people can't help but focus on it. If the world ends it does. If it doesn't we move on.
And that brings us back to the pompous trainer. He was working his client again. The thing is every time he comes in I can't help but look at him because he takes up so much space and not in a good way. I couldn't help, but notice how oddly shaped he is. He was wearing shorts and he has tiny legs. Well I knew that. Well this time he was wearing a short sleeve short and I realized he has tiny arms too. The only thing big on him is his chest and stomach. And his stomach is starting to become bigger. I just can't help, but think about his new years proclamation (that's what my gym called it). He wanted to gain 20 lbs of muscle by June. I'm sure he's close to gaining 20 lbs, but it surely is not muscle. Then I thought about the fact that him and another trainer want to do a boot camp. I think honestly he does need a boot camp, but does not need to be the one giving it. I can't imagine him doing even 10 minutes of a boot camp. He'd honestly just be a guy sitting there yelling at people while they workout. I just find it so ironic that he's a trainer that is so out of shape. I'm not saying that a trainer has to be a bodybuilder, but at least in shape. Looks like they can survive a boot camp workout. That look like they can run a marathon. Not someone who has a gut and no arms and legs. My friend says he looks like a robin. All breast and no legs.

Back to blogging
Yesterday I was going to blog, but forgot then went to go blog and blogger decides to fuck up. I kinda needed to blow off some steam. Had a terrible Wednesday. Anyway I do need to get back into the swing of blogging. It does help me from exploding. Or I can only blog when I'm getting ready to explode. That works too.
Yesterday and Today were good workout days. Not too many people to trip over. No Red Hat which of course meant I could actually do my workout in peace. Today the pompous trainer's client came in, but no pompous trainer. That meant I got to have a good leg workout. Went back to a pre-workout I like on Thursday. Will say the Jet Fuse spoiled me. I mean it mixed up great and tasted great. The MPR pump doesn't do either of those. It does provide a great pump and workout.
May is moving by so fast compared to April. April seemed like such a terribly slow month. I think maybe because it was such a cold month. So much snow kept falling. I had a lot to do at work because of all the stuff that happened to my boss' wife. She's doing much better and I think that's another reason why May is going a lot better. The other reason is because in July I'm heading back home. I'm sure in a way that seems to speed things along too. My boss is kinda the one that reminded me of that. I mean it's almost the 15th meaning this month is almost half over.
I'm thinking I'm going to have to change the format of this blog. Meh I'll worry about that later. Maybe add a formspring thing.

Fed up
Today when I went to the gym I was a jerk. I know I was a jerk because I did things I normally don't do. I had to deal with weight hog and red hat today. I think having to deal with those two on my chest workout day is what sent me over the edge. I get in there and I just skipped the warm up. Really shouldn't have, but I wanted to get my workout done. As I'm doing the dips I see that weight hog is basically going in between three different exercises. Oh no that wasn't going to stand. He's using the smith machine (which I needed) then the dumbbells and then doing floor stuff. So once I finished my dips. I waited a little bit. He didn't come in so I used the smith machine. Normally I can wait. I have no problem waiting because I do have other things to do, but I wanted to send a message. That message was if you are going to super set be next to the thing you are using. Or finish on a machine before you move on. Well pretty sure the guy got the message. He didn't say anything when he came back to see me on there. I had decided I'd just use the smith machine for my incline and regular bench then get off and if it was available go to the decline. Well then red hat comes back there. And he's kinda eyeballing the smith machine. I just thought you know what no. This guy hogs the smith machine all the time. And he doesn't do anything on it really. He'll do a few reps then walk around the back then go get water then look at the tv then finally come back to it. So I thought no I'm just going to finish up. As I was finishing up weight hog decides to use the cables which again was fine because I wasn't using them. I was going to use them next, but not at that moment. And again he uses that cable then goes and does more stuff on the floor. I finish up and start wiping the bench and I see him stretching so I say ok you are done and I take over again. I think I've just reached that point when I just do not want to deal with these assholes anymore.
Yesterday was a marathon of World's Strongest man. Yeah on Mother's day go figure. Well anyway me and my roommate where watching it. They were doing a deadlift. This guy from Poland was up and I just looked at his legs and said wow he has tiny legs. His legs were seriously the size of my legs which isn't a terrible thing if you are me. The guy has a massive upper body. I just kept thinking whatever happened to training the lower body? There are muscles there too. You can't be the world's strongest with bird legs. Especially after the three events they had in a row. A farmer's walk, power stairs, and then that dead lift. Then again when you look at most strongmen and power lifters they have massive upper bodies, but tiny legs. Well power lifters aren't really going for the look. It's more of the strength aspect. Kinda like that pompous trainer at the gym.
Mother's day was again another normal Sunday for me. Laundry then groceries, then workout because by this time my caffeine headache is unbearable, then calling my mom. I don't ever do anything really out of the ordinary when it comes to Sundays or Holidays. I like routine. Yeah I shake it up from time to time, but that's only when there is something fun to do. It's still not truly spring yet. That means nothing really for me to do.
Today's tip is even the most patient person has their limit. Those are the ones that really freakout when pissed off.

Ok back to blogging
Trying to get back into blogging. Think it helps me blow off steam. A lot has really gone on lately. My workouts are really starting to get really intense. Seems like I'm getting really sore. I swear people pissing me off in the gym is the best thing for my workouts. I put myself into my workout 150%. I mean I've never worked my chest or legs as hard as I did the past two times. Least today I didn't have to worry about the pompous trainer and his client. I swear whenever my workout partner doesn't come in no one else does.
A lot of stuff has been going on with work. It was senior day on Wednesday. We had tons of stuff to order and receive in. Should really be interesting next week going from 100 mph to 50. There will be stuff to order, but it won't be so crammed together.
The special election is finally over so that means no more political ads for a bit. The thing I love about this election is the guy that was mud slinging lost. Hopefully this sends a message to everyone planning on running that if all you do is mud sling and don't say why you are good for the job then you won't get elected. That's all that the guy did. I really never heard a single reason why he was going to be good for the job. All he kept saying is we need to create jobs and I'm in a business that does that. The thing is that he's in house construction. Which doesn't really create jobs. It keeps the people working for him employed. Doesn't create new positions. On top of that he never said how we could create jobs. Then he said that his opponent kept raising taxes and his pay despite the fact that our county had the 5th lowest taxes.
Last night my mom got my mother's day package and of course opened it up early. She was so happy. She loved the card I gave her and the fact that I put Mommy on the card and used a heart for the o. I think that was the best part of the gift that I did that.
Time for a new episode of Yu-Gi-Oh abridged. In this episode stuff happens. It was funny. It will make you laugh. Yeah. Today's tip is sometimes it's the little things that we do for people that get the biggest reactions.

Been feeling meh
Specifically about blogging. Haven't really felt like blogging in awhile. Seems like my blog posts are filled with the same things over and over and over again. So I've kinda been holding off on it. Well today I feel like blogging. Mainly because April is over and it's been such a long ass month that I have not wanted to do anything.
Let's see. Saturday I went to the gym and it was shockingly busy. I got my workout buddy to join me because I told him last week no one showed up at the time I went. Well of course he shows up and so does everyone. Red hat was even there and we hadn't seen him the entire week. Then today I had my arm workout and I didn't see red hat, but a lot of people were there. Well more so then last week. Maybe since it was the end of the month everyone was figuring I'll just start fresh next month. Might be very busy the next two weeks. On a side note my arms have dimples. I've never seen that before. It's at the top of the bicep. Kinda right where the arm connects to the shoulder. Very odd.
Speaking of odd I was looking up at the tv on ESPN and I see this heading saying Bin Laden is dead. Found that odd because well ESPN isn't a news network. It's a sports news network. Then they showed people at a game tweeting and texting it and it made sense. Now I know this sounds negative, but well in our day and age we are use to it. I just wonder how is Fox and Friends going to spin this as a negative thing, or not as something that happened thanks to the Obama administration. That's really all the republican party has been doing. Trying to discredit him or blame him for every little thing. If anything positive happens (like economic growth of any kind) it's thanks to business or them for giving tax cuts. It's never thanks to anything the Obama administration has done. Economist have been saying for a year now that thanks to Obama we avoided a depression. Wish I saved the photo that I saw on lol snaps about politicians and voters.
Now again here is a somewhat negative statement. I wish he wasn't dead. I wish that Bin Laden had been taken in. Given a trail and forced to spend the rest of his life in prison. The reason for that is that you get put in prison with all these crazy people. You never know when some of them will snap. You never know if the guards will get to you quickly enough to save you if you get stabbed. If you just listen to the stories people who've been to prison have to tell you it's scary. And spending the rest of your life constantly on your guard is torture enough.
Yesterday I watched Ninja Warrior. I always enjoy watching that because it amazes me that people put so much effort into this event that happens twice a year. Men have quit there jobs to focus on training for these events. They spend so much money to build replicas for them to practice on. And it's all over in one day. And because of that dedication you root for them. You hope they make it. You hope that the training pays off. Then you see how the designers changed the course. Making things insanely hard so that no one can pass. Yeah it needs to be hard, but not impossible and that's what it always seems like.
Today's tip is the truly positive see the glass half full of liquid and half full of air. The truly negative find it pointless to talk about glasses.
