Yesterday, I finally got my first job at the age of 21. It's a factory job where I have to make car parts, and do other random stuff in the building. I had to wear steel toe boots, work glasses, ear plugs and wear gloves. First thing I did was clean oil off of parts, then I had to use this machine to bolt up these door parts, stock em up, check and mark them, and repeat. I was running back and forth, pushing heavy crates, and making sure I did a good job.

Because my supervisor warned me if I fuck it up then I'm fired. Anyway I worked from 2:15 to 11:00 pm, afterwards my whole body was sore and I had cuts all over my arms. I was tired as shit and couldn't wait to get home. Once I got home I took a bath to get the oil off, got something to eat, then I went to bed. Now I'm getting prepared to go to work again today, and I'm wondering what they'll make me do next, but regardless it feels good that I got some income coming in.

I actually got the job from applying at a job center. As soon as I got done writing my application I was put to work. So now I'm just going to keep working and save up money, unless I get fired.

This question came to my mind after reading how Vegans can still build muscle. Which I thought was funny since you need alot of protein to build muscle, and meat is a great source to get protein. For bodybuilding I just don't see how eating strictly Vegetables can be very effective. Maybe if people drink alot of protein shakes with Vegetables it could be possible.

Even then I don't think a person would develop a nice foundation of solid muscle. I was told that you got to train hard, and eat meat so your body can repair the damage tissue. Eating strictly vegetables seems like it would make building muscle alot slower then needed.

Anyway what do you guy think about it? If there's something I don't understand then please inform me.

Its been a heated topic in the fitness community. Some dudes feel like you'll do more harm then good, and others feels like guys are being abunch of pussies for not going above and beyond. To me it comes down to an individual's preference. If you feel like you can push your body to its limits then go for it. Like me I do like pushing myself to see how far I can take my body, and alot of times it does workout for the better.

When I don't overtrain I feel like I can do more. I've said this before but I hate giving myself excuses. To me if you want a certain look you've got to earn it, and besides I won't feel satisfied until I look ripped. So I'm willing to go above my limits and I don't mind the pain. Within the upcoming months I'll take my body to the next level, and maybe I might do a transformation vid. Once I reached my fitness goal I'll think about it.

In the fitness community people has been getting upset about this. Apparently now obesity is considered a disease which I find stupid. A disease would be an illness that you can't help, and obesity would be from people's poor eating habits. It just doesn't have nothing in common and it's giving overweight people excuses. People can't just be naive of why they're overweight.

Complaining and making excuses doesn't make any progress. Losing weight is tough, but if left uncheck it will comeback to haunt you. On top of that trying to get sympathy from other people will only work for so long. Especially if your procrastinating and not even trying to lose weight.

Today I feel kinda bad at myself. I usually try to keep an up beat attitude, but I just got depressed and angry at my current situation. I was having a conversation with a lady I know at the gym. I was talking with her about some of my personal issues, and then she started to preach to me about having faith in god. She kept going on and on to the point I got irritated. I told her god never done anything for me and I don't believe he exists. Then she felt the need to say if I don't have faith in god, then he won't have faith in me and won't help fix my problems.

So I got abit upset and yelled at her, but then I calmed down and apologized afterwards. She was just trying to make me feel better and I took it the wrong way. Now I feel bad and I usually just workout to clear my head, but today I didn't feel like it. I almost felt the urge to smoke again, but I haven't smoked sense I was 18. I didn't want to kick back the old habit and fuck up my body. So I ended up just laying in the bathtub for hour, and even now I still feel like shit.

( I'm interested in seeing what GB members struggles with certain workouts, so feel free to give quick detail or just give a name.)

For me some of the workouts I struggle with the most are....

Squats - Now doing the squats with weights can be a desperate struggle, but the after effects is what bothers me the most. Feeling that snap back action in my legs can be bothersome. Especially when I'm using the bathroom, picking something up or moving in general. Feeling that intense pain can be an awful experience.

Running on the Treadmill - Trying to Keep up pace while I'd set the speed limit up to 40. Can give me that intense rush while I'm trying to catch my breath. Sometimes I try to expect more out of myself and run for 60 minutes, but in reality I can run about 35 or 40 minutes before my body gives out. My heart can only take so much stress.

Stair Master - Fuck this machine. After only 10 minutes I felt like my heart was going to explode. It feels like a robot is trying to force you to walk up the stairs, but in the end this machine ain't worth a heart attack.

Well I'll start off with a bet I've lost a few years ago that I regret. Anyone can give there own personal story, you can keep it short or give detail, but for me I'll give detail..

Basically my friends talked me into a bet to beat Final Fantasy VII. Now before the bet I talked alot of shit about the series. Sense they're both fans of Final Fantasy It pissed them off. So they decided to make a deal with me for shits and giggles. They told me I had two weeks to beat Final Fantasy VII, and if I lose I have to experience any consequence they had in store.

They knew I hated rpgs, but I told them if I win they will have to give me money. So the deal was on I've decided to play Final Fantasy VII, and within two days I gave up playing the game. I hated everything about the game, and I couldn't force myself to play it no more. I actually manage to shock my friends, they thought I would have giving up after three days not two. Apparently they both already talked about what my punishment will be, and they was excited to show me what it was.

One friend had me to watch all the episodes of a anime called Strawberry Marshmallow.

He knew I didn't care to watch anime much, but he thought it would be funny to watch an anime about little girls. So I watched a few hours of the show and I couldn't take it. It was awful and the shit was starting to give me a headache. So my friend decided to give me a break from that show, and let my other friend show me what he had as punishment. Unlike my first friend he was alot more sadistic, and I knew I had to expect the worse sense he likes to disturb me with random stuff, but nothing was going to prepare me for what I was about to see next.

My other friend decided to show me an anime called Boku no Pico. I thought it was going to be like Strawberry Marshmallow, but I was very wrong. The story was about this little boy who looks like a girl, that became friends with this lonely man, and something told me that this wasn't a normal anime. It wasn't until a ice cream scene that I realized I was watching a fucked up gay hentai. I got pissed-off at my friend for showing me this shit, and I didn't want to watch it anymore, but sense I made a bet I had no choice to keep my promise.

So I watched both of the shows, and the longer I watched the worse it got. After that I never made another bet with my friends again. My friends that it was hilarious to see my reaction to Boku no Pico. They was abunch of assholes for that shit.

Basically name a video game series that had potential, but the developers manage to screw it up. Express your opinion and don't be afraid, if you don't want to express then just name the game.

I'll start off and say the developers fucked up the Silent Hill series. It started off great with the four SH games, but after the original Team Silent developers disbanded, and gave the ip to different developers. The series has been in limbo ever sense. The newer SH entries isn't bad (except Shattered Memories) but its not on the same level as the older SH games. It lacks the tension, creepy atmosphere, narrative, and creative design.

As current gen technology is now, you would think the devs would bring the best aspects out of the SH series, but it just never happened. For some reason the SH series never reach the peak that it once had, and maybe will never see it again. So far there's been a streak of lackluster SH games.

Silent Hill :Downpour the latest in the series sealed the deal. It had good intentions with a more open-world SH game, but the clunky combat, stupid unrewarding side missions, crappy inventory system, uninspired design, buggy and weird graphical glitches, and a story that was just meh didn't do the game justice. After this game I lost complete faith with the developers.

I came to the conclusion that the series will be half-ass, unless other devs or Hideo Kojima decides to takeover. Sense he's shown interest of working on the series. It would be nice if Kojima put some of his magic on Silent Hill, and restore it back to the great survival-horror it once was...

(Just curious on peoples feedback)

Me personally I think finding love with anyone is a beautiful thing. Some people might have a problem with other people dating outside there race. I think those types of people can be simple minded, and hold some type of resentment. My cousin has found herself in that type of situation before.

She's black and her boyfriend is white. Now she gets along with her boyfriend's family just fine, but as for his friends not at all. Apparently they like to make sexual and racial jokes about her. When her boyfriend brings them around her she gets very uncomfortable.

She discuss the issue with her boyfriend and he noticed. He believes they're more jealous if anything. One time she ended up calling the police on one of his friends, because he touched her in inappropriate way. After that incident her boyfriend decided to not talk to his friends anymore. They've also came across people that didn't like there interracial relationship.

For me its just abunch of drama. Everybody was raised to view peoples nationality in different ways, it could either be for the good or worse...

So I heard about this free game called Cry Of Fear. Now I didn't know much about this game, but when I heard it was survival-horror and using the half life engine. I just had to check it out sense I'm a huge survival-horror fan. Now I went into this game not expecting much, and man was I in for a surprise. This game had me on edge throughout the whole time playing.

The game has a Silent Hill vibe about it. The monsters, music, and the way how the presentation is handled. Makes it feel like an fps style Silent Hill game to me. The scare moments is also something to mention too. Before you least expect it something is going to catch you off guard. Playing this game with my headphones on was a big mistake.

Having monsters appear out of nowhere, creepy ghost girls that made me commit suicide, random screams in dark places that made me jump. After awhile I just had to take off my headphones. At a certain point shit just started getting to me, the more I played the more edgy I got. Makes me ashamed sense its hard to scare me with horror games. Then again it's a good thing that this game has scare factor.

Anyway I'm 5 hours into the game and I'm having a blast. The only few things I dislike about the game is the bugs, and awful voice acting that can ruin the immersion.
