All work and no play makes Rafe a dull boy.

Yeah, been quiet here the last two weeks. One week of vacation, and one week of not working out for reasons possibly to be disclosed later.

Suffice it to say, I’m abundantly fucking annoyed at the inability to work out, not merely because it’s an enjoyable part of my daily routine, but because I was finally through a plateau in terms of both strength and body composition, and was making good progress, only to be thoroughly derailed.

I don't consider my bitching about politics and politicians to be of any particular value, which makes me wonder why I do it. Frankly, it's probably because I can't in good conscience ignore this much stupidity, and if I don't tell someone to go fuck themselves, my goddamned head will explode.

FWIW, 7 days is not enough to start losing gains. 10 days, you start to lose a bit.

And there can be major benefits from taking time off -- "supercompensation"

Yeah, but I took a week off a month ago, too. and will be taking another one off in two weeks.

basically, i'm losing the entire month of september (at least). which, all things considered, it could be worse, but i'm still torqued off about it.

Can't speak for you (cuz that would be mighty damn dumb, even for me), but for me the bitching is part pressure release and partly sanity check. If I ever permanently stop bitching, shoot me. It'll mean I finally drank the wrong koolaid ;)

If you ever stop bitching, I won't have to shoot you, except to make sure you stay down.

Might be a good idea...after all, I hope that if there's an afterlife I come back as Scourge ;)

I'll notify Fox News of your qualifications. But I don't think Sean Hannity is ready to give up his position.

Given my libertarian leanings, I think I'd be competing with LaRouche in the crank department. Although...[queue fantasy montage] I could see a spot on Fox being far more entertaining. I emit a stream of ill-founded opinion laced with invective, O'Rly tries to counter by screaming, I hit him with a war stomp for the flashbang effect, finish him off, then scoop up his entrails, nom nom nom.

Our next guest... [/fantasy]
