You go girl! That's an awesome story. Keep it up!

With all the low-fi stuff I've checked out from this thread I must mention my fav. Chances are you are familiar. Where ya at STOOKA

I checked it out on itunes. not quite sure I'll pull the trigger just yet.

The Ty Segall cover totally scared the shit outta me.

ponch1028, what a great post. Loved it. I have faced similar things. It is so easy to go through life and add those couple ponds every year and then look in the mirror or at the scales and think, "How the hell did this happen." That may or may not have been exactly what went down with you but it is close to what happened with me. I just want to say thanks and it's stories like your's that are normal but incredible. I'm looking forward to working out in the morning! Oh, and the part about listening to your own breathing while swimming....spot on!

No one likes a bragger, Jay.

I lift 3-4 days a week and do some Les Mills with my wife the other days. I want to know what people listen to while they work out. My ipod is a must for my lifting or other cardio that doesn't require me listening to commands from some really in shape person who I end up hating for the last 20 minutes of the 60 minute workout. I'm always rotating but good old Rock & Roll and hip hop are what inspires me most. What music, more specifically, what artists do you find helps with your focus and intensity? I'd love some suggestions. I'm listening to a lot of Jay-Z these recent weeks.

Nope. I hate the name Tom.

If the pain involves not knowing that someone is "going to the super market now" or "about to get off of work" then I'm not sure that's a real inconvenience. Not to mention, I love a lot of things and not all the same level or degree of emotion. Now that I think about it, I can't believe i'm even responding to that horseshit.

Good grief. I hope this is a joke.

I would love to see the reaction of people if fb never came back. I would laugh my ass off. There are so many people whose world revolve around that shit. It's kinda sad really.

I'm so glad they're not doing that 3 guitar thing anymore.

You should've told me. I said I was here to help! B.B. tomorrow!!!!

The Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer was said over the sound system during open house at my son's public school. I'm cool with the USA.

"I am not afraid of muslims/tea partiers/socialists/immigrants/gun owners/gays."

Come on, "rich" is relative. When I was 5 I thought we were rich. When I was 10 I thought we were poor. When I was 20 I knew I was poor. Isn't "rich" different for many people? Now that I've been noted as rich to the US government it damn sure doesn't feel like I'm rich. Am I happy? Yes. Comfortable. Able to give my kids things I didn't have. All the things I was brought up to believe you can do in America with out being labeled as rich. Why is 200,000 rich? Why not 150? Why not 300? Why not just say after you have a car, house and can pay your bills you are now rich?

Well I grew up with a mother who waited tables and a grandmother on disability. The cost of living was mild and we were dirt poor. The way I see it is people don't need the gov qualifying them as rich when they've been blessed, worked hard and put themselves in a position to succeed. I know not everyone has the opportunity to succeed but that's no reason to penalize those who have. With the future of so called Social Security I, and everybody in this country, need to save all they can. That system is broke and taxing people till they bleed will not save it.

I just can't believe you're "rich" if you make $200,000.

Wow! Did you see how hot those chicks were?! The band should have played "Norwegian Wood"!
