2020 and 2019 reflection

Your goal is powerlifting numbers and you are cutting and focusing on flexibility???????????????

If you are going for numbers you are going to have to eat and probably get a little bit fat if not full blown fat. Putting a lot of effort into numbers and barely benching your body weight is a bit of a face palm shake my head. I mean really there is nothing wrong with that in the grand scheme of things but you gotta pick a goal and stick to it.

I had to look up what a jlc reverso and a speedmaster was. I am not a watch guy so I think those purchases were a bit silly but whatever I guess. Making big bucks out in Cali I can understand the value of having a nice watch. Like if I was still into going to clubs I'd roll up my sleeves and have 3 Patek Phillip watches on... That is actually the ideal club outfit. All black Prada everything. Sleeves rolled up with 3 Patek Phillip watching on each arm. Drinking the finest champagne the club has to offer. Makes me sick.

If you have like $40k to invest why the fuck would you waste your time playing microstakes?

Are you really going to put in the work with solvers? That's the only way to stand a chance these days. I would take x amount of money and play minimum 50 cent / 1 dollar and devote a ton of time solving the game. That isn't realistic with a full time job. Basically, what I am saying is you are wasting your time. Why not spend the time learning python? Doing something fun? I would say piano but it didn't sound like you played it at all so whatever. Come help us with the revolution.

looks like things are going well. just remember to manage you career well. it wasnt too long ago that rikd was blogging about his nice life at his corporate job (that he got because his dad works there). now, he is a full-time pizza flipper // loco's sidekick/lackey that secretly wants to sleep with his sister. things can always change in the blink of an eye.

I throw pies. I am a fan of Loco. I don't want to sleep with my sister though. That seems like a projection.

Keep hitting that crack pipe brooooo.

nagging injuries set me back on my lifting goals; i starting seeing a PT for my back, which is when i gave up on getting big numbers (was about 195 when i was at my strongest last year)... hence the change in focus.

i probably am wasting my time, but i'm playing more for the hobby aspect more than anything i guess since it's way less stressful. learning more R is probably my main goal this year. i've done some statistical analysis and modeling for work but it's pretty elementary. i think career wise i'm probably as far as i'm going to be with just SQL and tableau unless i move to a less technical role (like a PM or something).

In all honesty it's good to be less weight and healthy. Powerlifting is a helluva drug though. It's honestly a project that can make life worth living. Have you given Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a chance? That is another great project although it is also pretty much can be injury intensive. Instead of being this fat powerlifter guy that's addicted to food and adrenaline and eventually steroids that thinks he's tough a BJJ practitioner it's typically svelte and actually can whoop some ass.

There's always management.

Have you ever thought about revolution? Oppression? Human rights?

I don't know a lot about you but anyone that can buy $7k watches is probably part of the problem. It's not your fault though per se. Why would you want anything to change?

i did bjj for a little bit and enjoyed it but ended up moving to socal and never started again. although i should, i can literally see a gracie gym from my patio lol. a lot of my coworkers train and do MMA at kings which has a ton of high level UFC guys. i should probably add it to my list. most of the time i just practice chokes on my girlfriend, lol.

expensive watches are retarded, while the engineering, craftmanship and design can be a beauty most are simply jewerly for men, pathetic flaunting of wealth

congratulations on your finances and physical discipline, also the piano is one of the last realms of men not to have been corrupted by technology

however

i'm like the scorpion i can't stop myself from saying this

a speedy? what's the problem lad you couldn't afford a daytona?

seriously the most basic possible uninspired watch. so insecure. now maybe i'm insecure to post this too, if i had any confidence i would just leave it but i'm okay with that. and i realize i'm an asshole to post this but i realized on the internet there's no reason it should affect you emotionally so I don't feel bad

but seriously

did you think you could trade net worth for self worth?

a speedmaster come on. trying to roleplay you're neil armstrong?

he fell for the speedmaster meme i just can't even
