So yesterday afternoon I got together with an old friend of mine, we'll call him Joe (cause thats his name), and we decided to grab dinner then meet at my place to watch the Bears game.  Joe and I have been friends for over 25 years and we get together every couple months usually.  He's a college professor and during school his schedule is pretty tight.  He's been wanting to check out Tilted Kilt for awhile now, and since he offered to pay I was all for it.  :)

I live in an apartment. There are 6 units in the building, including mine. Of the 6 units, 1 is empty and 2 are inhabited by backwoods, simple minded fucktards. The one thats currently empty had most recently been inhabited by 12 (yes, 12) illegals, but thats a whole other nightmare story.

Ok, part 2 of my wall o'text.  If you haven't already, please go back and read my last blog entry.  It will allow this entry to make more sense.  Go ahead, no worries...I'll wait.

Finished?  Here we go.

Every now and then you get presented with an opportunity, and when that opportunity manifests itself you have a choice to make; should you take the high road and conduct yourself with class or should you just let loose and follow your reactionary instincts?

Just yesterday I had such an opportunity present itself. Let me give you some backstory...

No, I didn't hurt myself. Yet. :) Leg day today and for the first time since I've been back in the gym I was able to use a plate-loaded leg press machine instead of that stupid nautilus-type press machine that I'd been using. Thing is with the leg press machine I had a bit too much belly at first to get any kind of a workout so I had to use the other machine. I hated that other machine, it hurt my knees like you wouldn't believe.

So today marks the end of my first 12 weeks back in the gym.  That was the first goal I had set for myself: make it through 12 weeks.  Mission accomplished.  I've missed 1 day of lifting out of a potential 60 and that was due to sickness., so I'm happy with the dedication level there.  I've settled in more or less on a supplement program as well.  Its not crazy by any means but it seems to be pretty effective so I'm going to stick with it. 

I don't actually live in Argentina, I live in Chicago. The Argentina thing is kind of an inside joke type deal. Soooo...those of you who decided not to send me a FR on Live because you figured I was in some fucked up time zone, its just not so. Those of you who decided not to send me a FR on Live because you think I'm a prick, well...not much I can do about that. :)

Here's a couple more commercials that I have been getting a kick out of. I think this line of advertising is brilliant:

I've seen this commercial a few times now, it makes me lol every time I see it:

Not exactly an original thought here, but I figured I'd chime in as well with my lavish praise of Gears 3. I just finished the campaign, and I think the fact that this is the first Gears campaign I finished of the 3 games says a lot about the game overall. I played most of it co-op and it was pretty seamless and solid, lots of fun with some high intensity moments that resulted in some laughs from the game dialogue as well as laughs from some dumb moves that resulted in player deaths. Usually mine, of course.

Rant time!  I know that the concept of me ranting will shock many of you, since I never...oh wait, yes I do.  Nevermind.
