In the year 1493 Big Black Cock

You talk about big black cock a lot.

What’s up with that?

[team filler]

I'm a BBC lover

Well we have that in common, at least

I’m black tho so it’s ok if I fetishize my own people 

[toku]

no kink shaming on the bore

I've been screwing around on guitar a lot over the summer, started to make a conscious effort to learn more theory. So I accidentally figured out how to play the main theme from the first level of Super Ghouls and Ghosts. It's pretty much all chromatic.

IDK.  When PD does it, it makes me uncomfortable.

I don’t think that was the nerdy part

[agrajag]

So what's the nerdy part? Accidentally learning an iconic melody of a video game from my childhood because I am becoming one with the music and developing a really good sense of pitch?

Ended up going to a dive bar trivia that a few people I know regularly go to. Turns out it was the night EVERYONE.ON.EARTH brought their friends and we had a 15 person team and won $75 gift card 1st place. The other teams were kinda pissed at our large group size. 2nd place team was just ONE GUY, so major props to him. Had a couple beers, met a bunch of new people, got it right that Anchorage's has a higher population than Juno.

All in all a good night   

Meeting an old gal friend for drinks over a Big Lebowski fest tomorrow night.

Life updates:

My daughter finally started kindergarten, so we both get time off from each other while having productive days.

I’m going back to school to take some missing exams, and will (hopefully pass and) graduate before the summer next year, then I’m starting University in August 2019. I’m HYPE. Pray for me though, the math is going to kill me.

Also, I realized while hitting send that this should’ve gone in the triumph thread. Whops.

You had make some very difficult decisions and it's great to see these positive outcomes. A random person on the internet is happy for you and your daughter.

[Valkyrie]

Thank you, that means a lot to me. I really appreciate all the support I’ve gotten from you guys through last year and this year. No homo.

After sitting through Evo and drama manufactured by the FGC to help them forget that their competitions are exercises in tedium it's refreshing to read real e-sports news.

As much as I complained, I had my inbox sorted in a few hours. I'm hyper organized with my emails. The only emails that stay in my inobx are ones that require an action on my behalf. Everything else is put into a folder if I need to reference it or store it. Everything else goes in the trash.

What are you taking in uni?

[Valkyrie]

What are you taking in uni?

Haven’t decided yet, but I’m aiming towards Electrical Engineering.

[Mupepe]

I'm going back for Mechanical Engineering and I've found that math is a much easier concept to understand as an adult.  I struggled with it in high school, but I'm fucking rocking it now.  Straight A's up in this bitch, baby.

[Madrun Badrun]

Math is easier if you have an application for it that you car about.

Nice! #TeamOldStudents

I used to be a math tutor up to and including ordinary differential equations. I hereby offer my services for no charge at all should they ever be required by you. I will drag you through these math classes.

I'll have to take you up on that offer as soon as like.. this January.

[BlueTsunami]

Consistently been walking 25 miles a week for the past three weeks. Starting to implement HIIT two times a week for 15 mins. I wish I found out first hand a decade ago what a mood enhancer cardio is. Weightlifting never made me feel this level.

[Mupepe]

do a circuit or super set with a different exercise.  For example, squat with a 2 minute break, but 1 minute into your break go do a set of pullups.  That's how I get a bit of that cardio high while lifting.

Consistently been walking 25 miles a week for the past three weeks. Starting to implement HIIT two times a week for 15 mins. I wish I found out first hand a decade ago what a mood enhancer cardio is. Weightlifting never made me feel this level.

I've also suspected cardio makes you feel better than weightlifting. I feel like this might be why 'roid rage' is a thing with weightlifting but not with running.

But lately I wonder if this really the case though. From my own experience, cardio feels especially good after starting a new exercise for the first six weeks or so.

What you're describing, it seems new to you. And weightlifting was like an old routine. So I was thinking, maybe it's the fact that it's new, it enchances mood.

Not sure though. It's annoying that there's not much proper research on this. All the research seems to focus on cardio, and if there is research on resistance training, there's no proper comparison to cardio.

Edit: actually I do still think cardio can make you feel better. I think it's the sustained increased heart rate over a long period of time that makes it feel good. With weightlifting the heart rate goes up as well, but it's up and down, it feels better if it goes up and stays there.

Yeah I think its the constant physical exertion along with my heartrate. The closest I've felt to this day long afterglow was treating my weightlifting session as a circuit. I plan on slowly integrating weightlifting on my HIIT days too but only 30 mins of major compound movements since I'm dropping weight.

do a circuit or super set with a different exercise.  For example, squat with a 2 minute break, but 1 minute into your break go do a set of pullups.  That's how I get a bit of that cardio high while lifting.

Yeah thats one of the ways id get my heartrate up when doing compound stuff. My fave was doing bench press then immediately doing bent over rows. My upper body would pump up like crazy.

i remember someone asking for help on partial differential equations and just made one up and asked me to talk her through how to solve it

She wanted the D.

got carried away smoking hookah
smoked 3 pipes

Should’ve tried nutmeg instead.

I would advise against getting high off of nutmeg btw.

I used to sell oregano or dried up tree leaves to kids in middle school.

I use to do this with that old dry moss you’d find in grandmas fake houseplant pots. Good times.

The market is different here, plus it’s a very small place and we’ve got limited Uni options. It’s what I want to do, but again, not final since I’ve still got time to decide and change my mind.

[G The Resurrected]

Hey Momo you are loved duder! We all care about you here, even the lurkers!

[chronovore]

All the bore hugs MOMO.

What a wonderful place we have here.

[chronovore]

Watching '80s videos, it kicks off Wake Me Up (Before You Go Go) and now I'm wondering how anyone ever thought George Michael was straight.

You guys are the best    boy do I have a headache

[BlueTsunami]

Just had Chicfila chicken nuggets for the first time. These goddamn homophobes know how to handle their damn chicken

[Momo]

I won't drink that much again for a loooong time, I forgot how depressing it can be to come down from hard drink  :'(

[Atramental]

I remember the first time I felt super depressed after a night of binge drinking.

Never again.

[agrajag]

nah

[BlueTsunami]

Fug alcohol, hit the herb instead

[agrajag]

It depends on the strain.

[Atramental]

Smoke good eat good live good.

Bless up.

[G The Resurrected]

I honestly don't drink anymore due to the negative mental effects that alcohol has on my personality and emotional state. I don't really miss it much.

I do enjoy a good contact high sent down from above as second hand smoke from my neighbor. Dude enjoys some quality bomb ass weed so I leave the patio door open for that green goddess to take me away from time to time.
