Mobile Phones, Drivers, and cutting me off in traffic
Think there is nothing worse than drivers on the road that can't drive.
Well now there is. Drivers that can't drive doing something other than driving!
What better way to fully distract yourself from the job at hand than by talking or texting on a mobile phone. How about combining it with the need to smoke, this way both hands aren't even on the steering wheel!
Even better we could have something to stare at by the side of the road.
Now its time to shake your head and say how you would never do that. Show me a guy that wouldn't be distracted by a hitchhiker like that. Men are excused from ogling. But no one is excused from using their phone while driving. Nothing is that important that it can't wait for you to get out of your 1.5 tonne steel baby killing battering ram.
This person was lucky, they were only trying to park their car while using their mobile phone.
Solutions;
- Not owning a mobile phone.
Pros: Allows you to not be tempted to use one
Cons: People will actually have to contact you at work, home, or leave a message.
- Not Driving.
Pros: Less idiots on the road
Cons: Ummm........................... Public transport?
- Waiting until out of vehicile until using phone.
Pros: No accidents
Cons: You don't get to be an ignorant, stupid, jerk-off, moron who is so conceited as to believe that their phone call or text message is far more important than life itself.
Scary Stuff in the Gym
I like the idea of lifting weights, getting some muscle that can do stuff, like go running, play sport, do some labour, look good naked....
But the "sport" of bodybuilding has turned into a joke, a +300 pound (140kg) monster of a joke.
Who wants to look like this tribute to chemical enhanced insanity? The answer is absolutely no-one. This guy is a cop and he is breaking a lot of laws in his performance enhancement needle pokes, not to mention a few natural laws of decency. Ronnie Coleman (the freak above) is quoted as saying "Its bodybuilding, so I'm building my body as big as I can." Thanks Ronnie! Aside from turning people away from gyms in droves, encouraging kids to take illegal drugs, and alienating all the hardcore lifters out there, I suppose its fine to be a freak then.
This is the reason most people know what bodybuilding is, and also the man who turned people to gyms in droves;
He was the man! Don't get me wrong, he's still a big dude, and had more than his fair share of steroids, but he still had a build that was something achieveable and desireable. It certainly wasn't scaring small children and making women puke.
I lift weights. I enjoy it. Even with all the blatent misinformation, terrible myths, and general cacophony of idiots that inhabit the gym and fitness industry, people still can do a lot of good for themselves. Better body image, fitness, strength, not becoming a fatass, are all things that can be done with weight lifting and bodybuilding.
I hate being lumped into the same group as the modern freaks of bodybuilding. I hate the idiot personal trainers, and the gym sales reps named "Misty", the uninformed masses that clog up the gyms. They are all the bane of strength and weight training enthusiasts, but Ronnie you are giving us all a bad name!
So now I lift weights at home. No gym, no personal trainers, no egos, ................. just me and my weights.
