I’d find another job if it involved trips or flying. Airports are full of self-centered assholes. I try to never fly unless I’m going on vacation somewhere great, like Croatia.
Good suggestion. I’ve long wondered how many Americans actually consumer their daily suggested caloric intake in the form of drinks.
I pretty much drink water all day, dark beer and spirits at night. Hydration is huge for feel good. I enjoy soda, but I drink maybe a few cans a month. And the 8 ounce cans are fantastic, just enough, not too much.
The key is to eat 5-6 times a day, keeping the calories around the same each time, and having them add up to what you need at your size/weight. For me that around 5 meals of 300-400 calories. The beauty is that if you overeat, you’re going to hate yourself three hours later. Do this for a few weeks and you’ll feel great, be at a good weight, and not know how you did it any differently.
Former college athlete here as well. I enjoy doing my own cooking, haven’t eaten any fast food in many years, and try to avoid processed/highly processed food. Eat real foods, of all types. Don’t limit foods, limit calories. Oh…and stop eating meat. I’ll eat a deer I shoot, but other than that, I have no interest in meat. Grew up eating it every dinner, but now just can’t be bothered. Just not interested. Having two dogs that go fucking nuts around meat also helps, not worth the hassle.
Good god, I have two full days off a week. I’ll be damned if I going to spend my time being surrounded by stuffy fucks at a restaurant. Besides, I’m pretty adept at making toast and cooking at eye. Christ.
Also, the gym? Again, I spend all week inside. On the weekend I want to be outdoors as much as possible. Go for a hike. Swim in a lake. Walk my dogs. Go mtn. biking with a buddy. Screw the hot little lady in a tent. These are the ways I want to spend my weekend.
As a yankee living in the South, I do enjoy good Carolina BBQ. We have one of the most respected family joints in the U.S. just down the road. Very good BBQ and it’s a plain ol’ hole in the wall; not a fan of fancy, pretentious restaurants. GF is from the home of Pepsi, which I prefer over Coke.
Finally, fast food restaurants are disgusting. Food worth eating isn’t made by a sweaty teenager in a cinder block building in the middle of a parking lot, especially not with horribly raised animals shipped in from a few states away.
If you played sports for most of your life, why have you given up on them? I played college sports too and I haven’t gone near a weight room/gym since I graduated and no longer had a strength coach hassling me, or the need to have serious muscle.
Get back to playing sports for fun! Gyms suck, which is why people aren’t consistent about working out. I’m an avid dual sportsperson these days, with exercise being an added bonus to the fun of playing/competing.
I actually weigh 10 pounds less than I did in college because I don’t do heavy power/Olympic lifts any longer. Plus, riding a bike is a built-in diet and I do it daily.
As an undergrad I had my first prolonged exposure to rich privileged assholes. What amazed me was a) how truly fucked up most of them and their families were (drug/drinking problems, marriage problems, waiting on granny to die for inheritance, etc.) b) how instead of using their money/privilege to live free and happily, most of them lived parallel lives – same prep schools, same vacations, some clothes, etc. For many of them, money was more a jail than any sort of freedom. See waiting for granny to die, or hoping daddy can score me a good job.
My point is: you don’t have to spend a shitty weekend in Napa. There are countless other things I’d love to do with my money and my weekends. Then again, I don’t like wine and I don’t like trendy touristy shit.
I lived at home during graduate school and really liked it. Since I was a few years out of undergrad and not a young punk any longer, I realized it was likely my last chance to spend prolonged time with my parents. It was great. And yep, now I live a few hundred miles away from them and see them less in a year than I used to in one week.
Living at home doesn’t have to be terrible, though maybe not so awesome in June, a month after undergrad life is over.
For me it’s the “foodie” assholes who watch food porn t.v. and now refer to meat as protein. It’s not fucking protein, it’s mammalian flesh. It’s dead animal. It’s a piece of meat. Just because you saw someone on t.v. call it that, you don’t need to. Thanks!
Oh, gotta say I’m THRILLED to have been a sous chef and a server BEFORE the explosion of food porn t.v. No every single fucking asshole in the world thinks they’re a food expert. Sorry, just because you watch some asshole on t.v. doesn’t mean you know anything about running a kitchen, cooking professionally, or much else that goes on in a restaurant.
I’ve been working since I was 12 and my #1 personal rule, which I would like others to follow: no matter what your job, do it to the best of your ability. I mowed lawns, I shoveled snow, I filled potholes one summer in college. And, I worked my ass off at all of them. I’ve also cooked professionally for a living and been a server. Do your job, do it well, and it’ll most likely pay off. Anyone with a job and an attitude makes me want to tell them, “Listen, I didn’t force you to take this job, so don’t act like I did. Just do the best you can and don’t blame me for your bad day.”
**That said, I know there are millions of American’s who come from tough situations and are in dead in jobs. I can understand being unhappy about that, but you still gotta work hard, no matter what.
I don’t understand what the fuck people are you doing sitting around half of Sunday at brunch? Goddamn, I have around 52 free hours every weekend. No fucking way I’m sitting around wasting money on eggs and toast I’ve been able to make for myself since I was 8. Brunch is for the bored and apathetic.
As the immortal Axl Rose once said, “I personally don’t need that. I don’t need that shit in my life.”
I’m in my 30s and I haven’t regularly watched a t.v. show since Seinfeld was on weekly. I really don’t get it. I have 15 things I’d rather be doing at any time than watch t.v., much less shitty reality t.v. I just won’t get it. Are you bored? Apathetic? A mouth breather?
I’d rather be: fucking my hot GF, walking my dogs, playing sports, reading, jacking off, sleeping, making money, drinking, drinking with friends, working on my garden, riding a bike, working on my bikes, surfing, talking with a friend, writing a letter to a friend. I could go on.
I’m baffled by reality t.v. viewers. What the fuck?
I’ll all for folks trying to get in better shape. That said, I also find anyone chasing a new fad diet/workout/fitness craze to be a duped shithead. Just lead a happy life and stop trying to buy your health. Unless you are an idiot, it’s pathetic.
Also, I try to never walk anywhere. It’s so boring.

Umm, what if I’ve never sat through a TED talk?

Do yourself a favor and give up on fast food.

Oh, I’d also drop any woman who shopped at Costco. People buying in bulk should be euthanized.
I hate people with small dogs. They think it’s cute that they bark and growl at everything. Fuck that. Discipline your dog.

If the guy has time to fuck around sitting at brunch all day, I’m not too worried about him not having enough time to waste.
Texas isn’t the south, it’s the place the rest of America wishes we left to Mexico.

Assholes who take photos of food they purchase and then post them online should be euthanized. The world is full enough as it is, thanks.
