Topic: Farthest you could run?

Posted: 07/05/09 04:46 AM

Forum: General

I was doing just under 6.5 miles last summer, usually taking me an hour and 20 minutes. But, I've been too busy for running this summer, which is kinda bumming me out a little bit. The health benefits of running regularly are amazing.

Topic: Illegal Fireworks...

Posted: 07/04/09 04:22 PM

Forum: General

They're illegal here in MA, but they're really commonplace around the 4th anyway. People are heading up to New Hampshire to grab their fireworks and tax-free liquor around the 4th anyway, so they just bring 'em back in droves and set 'em off around the beaches and shit.

Cops only care if you set them off at some ungodly hour, OR, if you are a fucking idiot and cause a crowd of people to dive out of the way in fear of severe burns. Happened at the Rockport 4th of July bonfire a couple years back. Errant pyrotechnics hit some elderly woman in the crowd.

Topic: Hot chocolate with water??

Posted: 07/04/09 01:43 AM

Forum: General

It depends on your microwave. When I'm heating leftover coffee ('cause I'm a hopeless caffeine addict who'd drink coffee in the morning out of a dead hooker's anal cavity if it came to that) in MY microwave, it only takes 1:20 to get it to piping hot. But, some people might not keep their microwave on high, and some people may not have microwaves that are as powerful. That's why there isn't a precise figure on the package.

Additionally, I've never made instant hot-cocoa with anything but water. It tastes just as good, I only added milk if I'd heated it too much and needed to cool it down a little.

Got on to check my email (legit reasons... gotta set up some new painter interviews and shit). Saw my guitar and picked it up to relieve some stress.

Remembered I had Moosehead lager in the fridge so I grabbed one, and now as I finish my third in preparation of going to chill at a buddy's place I sit here posting my internet agenda for the internet to see.

No pulp for me, though I can't pinpoint a difference in taste, I just don't like the feeling of drinking skin-flakes permeating my orange juice.

There's an entire circulatory system separate of your blood called the lymph system. Lymph nodes produce the 'pus' that oozes from a wound and bodily movement moves it through the body.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymph_syste m read all about it yourself.

Anyway, that wound's nasty. What would possess you to slide into the finish line on pavement? I've got a decent scar on my elbow from a collision in 3rd grade where I found myself ground-bound in no time flat. Didn't even notice until someone pointed out the blood dripping down my arm.

Topic: Intense Fitness Regime.

Posted: 06/30/09 01:49 PM

Forum: General

You're not training any longer, so you're not seeing gains.

Structure your runs so that you're alternating a tough run with an easy one. If you are normally running, say, 2 miles a day, you should change your schedule so that you run 3-4 on one day, and only 1.5 or less on your 'rest days'. This allows you to rest and recharge, without getting nothing done. 3 tough runs a week, 3 easy runs a week, one full day's rest. Every other week, make your last 'tough run' for the week an all-out run 'til you drop exertion. I'm talking marathon 6+ miles here. Then either take your full day off if it's scheduled, or take two days off if you REALLY exerted yourself.

But, your running schedule will serve to get rid of excess fat more than build muscle. If you're already a member of a gym, start your workout routine. Ask for advice from the trainers there: they're there to offer it.

Basic formula to a workout routine is as follows: use comfortable weight levels so that you can do 8-10 repetitions (ie: a single lift and lowering) multiple times. 3 sets is a good start. Set 1 should feel relatively easy. Set 2 should be somewhat more difficult. And set 3 should be tough to complete. When in doubt if a weight amount is the right amount, go smaller. You should err in favor of MORE sets (not more repetitions between resting... it isn't necessary) rather than LESS sets.

Again with weightlifting, always give a worked muscle group one day's recovery time. You can effectively lift with the same muscle group 3 times a week (unless you're experienced and in great shape). I would recommend working out every other day, with one two-day rest a week. Make yourself two 'weight settings' for your workouts. The standard should be used twice in your week, the more difficult should be used once per week, and you should take two days to recover every time you go all-out and use the heavier weights/more difficult workout.

The final part to your routine is diet. If you're running enough, you need not worry about consuming carbohydrates because odds are good that you'll be burning them off. Otherwise: you should just cut down on 'em. Make sure you're eating at least two of the following every single day: carrots, broccoli, spinach, green peppers, green beans, asparagus, romaine lettuce. Restructure your meals. Make them smaller and ALWAYS consider a meal in terms of nutrients gained from it. You should always have at least SOME protein-containing food in every meal. Try to tend toward the leanest source of protein possible. In order: whey protein shake, unsalted nuts/protein bars, fish (tuna out of the can works), chicken/turkey, ham/pork, beef/steak. To compliment your protein, you should be consuming either a fruit or a vegetable. For the third component of the meal you should have a small amount of some sort of fat (dairy, vegetable oil, the included fat from beef or ham) OR the aforementioned 'almost unnecessary' carbs (tend toward non-empty calories; ie: instead of white bread have wheat/rye/whole grain, instead of white rice have basmani, instead of pasta have wheat pasta).

You should be eating 4-5 times a day instead of the normal 2-3.

Most important of all: water. If you don't fill and consume at least one Nalgene bottle worth of water in a day, you're not drinking enough. That's not to say you're not getting enough, most people tend to make up for lacking water intake with extra food intake. Most of the time you're hungry, you should drink water first, then see if you're still hungry.

I hope that helps.

Topic: One Novel, One Month.

Posted: 06/30/09 12:32 PM

Forum: General

175 pages in one month? I guess if you've got the sort of time where you can write 6 pages a day, you could pull it off. I mean, I've written 6 pages worth of stuff in a single day, usually when putting together a last-minute essay for a class; but to do that every single day for a month straight for nothing more than recognition of having made the effort?

Pass. It'd be one thing if they weren't judging "quantity over quality" and offering some sort of incentive, be it cash, publication, or otherwise; but as is it just doesn't feel worth my time.

Topic: Why Do People Smoke Cigars?

Posted: 06/24/09 11:06 AM

Forum: General

I smoke the occasional cigar (even purely unadulterated ones). The key is moderation.

Really though, I find that those who start smoking tobacco do so as a result of lowered inhibitions from alcohol. Then, the addiction takes hold because they're smoking every time they're drunk and they get drunk often enough for it to be a problem.

Cigars are legit amazing when you're drunk. That small amount of nicotine getting into your system (or large amount if you're getting the smoke in your lungs) DOES give you a buzz. The buzz you get goes great with your alcohol buzz. Compared to the flavor of alcohol, cigars are pussy shit on the taste buds.

So... there you have it. All your questions regarding people's motivation for doing things are from your lack of experience with them. Live a few more years and your questions will be eventually answered. ; )

So you're striving toward peace with only half a heart? No wonder you don't believe it's possible.

I strive for peace in every aspect of my life. Peace is a realistic endeavor. I don't know why people have such delusions that life would be boring in times of peace. There can still be disputes and conflict without resorting to physical violence to solve the problem.

So, the only real obstacle to peace is those who firmly believe it isn't possible. What a frustrating self-realizing belief that is.

Hey Newgrounds, you're pretty awesome. I know it's common thought that most of you don't feel that way about yourselves anywhere except online. But, I know better than that.

You guys can be pretty stupid sometimes, rather lame, and downright unoriginal and entirely unfunny. Even often.

But that's no different than anywhere else. The fact is, there's something about this community that is fresh and invigorating. Never before in my life have I found myself so inexplicably drawn to such an eclectic community. I take time off, but I still come back every now and again. I still check in. I still see what's up. This psuedo-anonymous forum is more interesting to me than most of my friends on facebook.

But, I'm not singing your praises for no good reason. I mean, you guys've been great when it comes to downtime. I'm not productive when I'm here but, as some of you may know already, I use these forums to keep my command of diction up to scratch. I've experimented with amelioration, sometimes successfully (resulting in lasting goodwill toward once bitter rivals), and sometimes unsuccessfully. I'd say I'm better for the experience.

Why? Well... I dunno. It's just what I feel, and I wanted to thank y'all for bein' around and for the most part just being downright interesting. This place has taught me tons about people's behavior and I've found things that apply to real life. They need not be shared, because I don't feel they're necessary to posit for your interpretation or rejection. That's counter-productive.

Find your own way to incorporate what you learn about people here. Just make sure the lesson's conclusion is positive. Because frankly: I love you guys for your "no fuck you" attitude, but it's typically not the best way to go about things unless you know how and when it's to be used (and it's rarely).

Anyway, thanks.

What're some positive impacts Newgrounds has had on your personal development? I know some of you feel as if you're wasting away on this site (if you feel this way... get the fuck outside and do some shit already instead of whining), but I hope the majority feel as if their experience is positive and are willing to share.

Topic: Beer vs. Beers

Posted: 05/13/09 04:36 PM

Forum: General

I asked myself this question and had the assistance of several fellow nerds to help me out (hardcore nerds too, this kid's pleat chain-mail in his spare time).

Beers is CORRECT. But, only if you're referring to the individual containers. A beer is a can, bottle, glass, or what-have-you filled with beer. It's a (SERVING) of beer. A helping, if you will. But if you say "I want beer," you're not specifying a single serving. You're referring to all beer, an unspecified, vast amount of this one specific substance; beer. To say "man I had so much beer last night" is to say that you tapped the near-infinite resource that is beer, and you did so with an unquenchable vengeance. But to say "Man I had so many beers last night" is equally correct, you're just specifying that your consumption was meted into appropriate servings, just that you had a lot of those appropriate servings.

Personally, I don't like to refer to them as 'beers'. I think the problem is that people automatically associate homophones with each other grammatically. "Deer" is both plural and singular, so it stands to reason for most that "Beer" should behave similarly. Except, deer don't come on tap, and there're specific parts of deer that, when separated, can't be identified as just 'deer' anymore.
