    Pobody Is Nerfect

    August 10, 2010 / Celebrities, News

    On the one hand my rebuild is going swimmingly. My workouts are going harder, better, faster, stronger. Muscle that went into exhile during the starvation phase has returned and is re-establishing itself as a productive member of the group, even lending bones some support as they rebuild. I’m sure it’s reciprocal. On the other hand like any community rebuilding after a disaster my body has its share of opportunists milking the system. Bits of fat growth are sneaking in and [...]

    “And, of course, the funniest food of all: ‘Kumquats‘.” ~ George Carlin 229.2 lbs I managed 5 hours sleep last night and the cravings seem to be fading in prominence. Right now I want a beer.

I think pilsner style beers should be left in the horse they come out if. I [...]
