Hello,
Currently I'm Unironically reading [i]Infinite Jest[1][/i]. I'm about 70 pages in (including its infamous footnotes) [Kindle version - I"m not carrying around a fucking thousand page book. Actually I'm reading it on my ipad[2], it's super useful because i can also carry all of my music on it and my teaching materials as well, so that i can just pull up whatever i feel like working on with a student wherever i am and print it out so they can have a copy without forcing them to buy a book or needing to remember to print out a bunch of shit 20 minutes before a lesson and end up getting there to the studio late and then i'm scramblin' to teach them some new BS before the next student shows up and i have to cut their time short as well-- you have to be on time with these soccer moms and shit. So anyway I'm reading the footnote compliation of the Incandenza father's filmography (James iirc - my ipad is charging and i don't feel like looking at it rn). I had to put it down because I had to pee, and decided that a pee break was a good time to start a thread about books and workouts. But anyway yeah really good book. I used to hate reading. I think that's turning around.
Short blurb - also been listening to Nietzsche on Audible, currently plodding through The Gay Science. It's alright. If you've read/listened to it i don't really need to talk about it. I like the narrorator's voice. (The guy who narrated Kierkegaard's [i]The Concept of Anxiety[/i] sucked ass, couldn't finish listening to it)
Current workout reoutine:
I'm on a full week rotation rn: Arms, core, legs, Arms, core, legs, Rest day. Repeat.
I will switch it up occasionally and I try to vary my actual exercises. For example I won't do leg press 3 leg day's in a row, i'll instead vary whatever I'm doing. It keeps it interesting. For example this week I'm trying farm carries for the first time instead of shoulder shrugs, but will also work on my grip strength, (which is already rock solid as i'm an upright bass player). It's kind of hard because my local Planet Fitness gets chock full of highschool students bumbling around because it's down the street from the local HS, and for some reason they're still there 3 hours later at 530 when i come after work. Like wtf kids don't you have homework? get lost.
Honestly though I have no idea what i'm doing haha. But i'm not as disgusting as I was a year ago. Feel me?
I skipped today however, Sunday is normally my rest day but I think i'm going to do a combined core-leg day because i've been eating a lot this week. I'm not on any specific diet, no protein shakes, no BCAAs etc etc. No creatine. Honestly this is just more about being in shape in general, not bulking or building, yeah?
ANy suggestions about workout routines? What books are you reading (or listening via your Amazon®️ Audible™ app)?

- [quote=wowneat;%2Fbloards%2Fgbs%2Ftopics%2Fwhat-time-are-you-going-to-bed-bloard%2Fposts%2F5444] in aout 30 minutes. really excited. i love sleeping. it's like being dead. i love being almost dead. imitatively dead. it's super good. i can't wait. every night before i go to bed i do the moves to get ready to pretend to be almost kind of dead. i palm slam my alienware laptop shut and right there i start doing the sleepwalk to the bathroom. making swishing sounds when i gargle up some Listerine or even sometimes the generic, off-brand meijer stuff. not many are interested in the kind of sleep i'm into. i am. i don't normally brag about it especially on bloard, mostly because i respect other bloarders (except derek whatshisface) because they are all respectable and totally not shit humans. i am very familiar with death and i've learned how to accept that i'm a totally lost idiot and staring at the ceiling every night in terror of growing older without an end goal or anything i'm proud of in life is the antithesis of how to solve my problems. i only sleep a few hours total a week because i wake up constantly from nightmares of being stuck in the same place for the next 60 years with nothing to leave behind. then i lift. [/quote] hell yeah i'm going to bed
- Here's my story of having alcohol and looking at bloard. Well first I decided to have a couple of beersbecause I'd rather have some alcohol than not have some (I'm a university student and starting a summer job in June) and I was looking at twitter and playing Battlezone: Combat Commander and then I decided to look at Bloard, which jsutified my decision to have a third beer. So now I'm having my third beer and looking at bloard just as I mentioned on twitter (follow me @interjosh1 for more quality content) also I'm distancing myself from Horny bloard. Sorry
- imagine my surprise when jop, jope, yope, yupe, and joup were all taken

- How does our butthole know what kind of shit we have to take? We've all dropped the calm logs and also had experiences with the diaharea sweats, so how exactly does our binghole know the card before we play it? I've put a lot thought into this and here's what I came up with. At some point in our lives we have all entered a vehicle with the orange light on the console that turns off as soon as you sit on it signaling to both the driver and passenger, the airbags activated. You might wonder (if your a dimbass) how the vehicle knows your in the seat. It's not magic folks--it's science. When the appropriate weight is set upon the passenger side seat it sends the signal to the car computer. It basically says "we got us a motherfucker on the chair. Release the airbag safety so this waste of life doesn't smash his/her shit across the windshield in the event of an accident". Well, our heinie holes are a lot like that. When a well formed log crests the anal cavity it sends a message to your brain. "It's a log sir, no rush but if it's all the same to you we should pop this sucker out a s a p". But, when the diaharea his the anal wall-- it's more of a "gah fuck....the flood gates are going to go. This ass is gonna let it rip in t-minus 59 seconds whether it's hovered above a gas station toilet or not". In conclusion our asses are much like the weight sensors in vehicles. Thanks for your time and have a good night.
