Tithonus BY ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON The woods decay, the woods decay and fall, The vapours weep their burthen to the ground, Man comes and tills the field and lies beneath, And after many a summer dies the swan. Me only cruel immortality Consumes: I wither slowly in thine arms, Here at the quiet limit...

Ulysses BY ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON It little profits that an idle king, By this still hearth, among these barren crags, Match'd with an aged wife, I mete and dole Unequal laws unto a savage race, That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me. I cannot rest from travel: I will drink Life to the lees...

The more of them I meet, the more I see of the old way. My hate gets stronger the closer I get.

Pocket knife. Every man should carry one. I can post some different models of nice pocket knives if you want. I did the pocket knife two years ago, it was great. He worked at a farm and needed a good knife so we got him one for Christmas. I like the watch idea, too, but wanted to spend a little les...

My son, 18, graduates tomorrow from high school. I'd like to get him something nice, but strippers, alcohol, and hookers have been forbidden. So I was thinking of a nice pen or maybe a zippo lighter or something. Any input?

I think you can contribute some of the academic success of HS athletesent to the fact that you can't play if you're failing. In my school you have at least a C in every class to be able to play. So if you didn't apply yourself at least marginally to class work you didn't get to be on a team. On the...

Main Page Picture today:

HS football coach mentioned to me new s+c coach is incorporating @fit into summer program. Not what i need right now but will go have to visit the guy then watch his programs. My son needs to get bigger and stronger and has no need for bizzaro world sweat angel BS. When you have skin in the game it...

A couple of high school football players at my gym told us about this. We have yet to give up the Wendy's Triple Baconator/ Hardee's Thickburger as our go to calorie food, though.

When the University Police were giving me a ride home from the ER, they said to me: you were found shirtless in a cowboy hat in front of a Girl's dorm room. What did you do last night? I told him that all I remembered was getting a ride back to the dorm on some chick's motorcycle. And to this day, t...

Okay, I've got some stories. College, post-college, ex-wife, wife, friends, etc. I'll start with this one. My second semester Freshman year in College I switched rooms to a single. Staying with the group I was with first semester I'd have gotten kicked out of school. I went from drinking every night...

That's the hottest thing about her.

Christmas Abbott was on The Jason Ellis Show yesterday. Seems pretty cool for a @fitter. At least until she started wailing on about @fit but she wasn't too bad about it. She was on Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel last night. I didn't watch it, but I will try to catch the replay. I know her briefly ...

Real good guy. Met him about four years ago at a fitness festival where I held a meet. Talked for about 10 minutes.

Happy birthday.

At UD, the kickers and punters were strong as shit. I heard the same thing about UVA; all they do is kick a bit at practice then come lift.

Just reviewed, I guess you're right, still training under the Christian Rock LimpBizkit clone douche. It's a shame. A woman winning the games with sound strength coaching would do wonders for Glenn and real sport science in the eyes of @fitters. When I met her, she took instruction well, wanted to ...

Ol' Rudy's bad ass black Crossfitter has moved on to Pendlay for real coaching. I thought MD USA is just sponsoring the mistress and she is still training with Rudy or on his system. He and Glenn were real friendly on Facebook the last couple weeks. I would love to see her O lift full time, though....

I thought the most interesting comment was Talanya Fortunato giving the writer props, given she was one of his prize ponies at last year's Gaymes. He abandoned her in Iceland. Stranded her there. She fucking hates him. This actually happened? Yeah, I don't know the exact story, but something about ...

I'm not as happy as I might have been.
