    OUT of the night that covers me,Black as the Pit from pole to pole,I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In The fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud.Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.It matters not how strait the gate How charged with punishments the scroll,I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.

    Thanks,Mase.
    I'm actually stoked about the new pics I have.
    I still need a back and bi session pic as the last one was ruined by getting my **** jacked. That'll follow later.

    Lookin massive brother. I'd like to see the new pics of 20lbs heavier. As I recall you said you haven't gained much fat?

    Two things I noted:
    a) your hair was wicked in the first two pics. grow that **** back
    b) your calves seem to need some work, but I'm sure you know that

    Definitely huge ... even back when you were "skinny" you had nice shape. Looking forward to the new pics Josh!

    And yes, the blonde brad pitt look was not cool! Keep it shaved!

    Pretty big dood. Shoulders are a strong point.

    It's funny because I pictured you freakishly huge because you're full of teh hate.

    I'm in agreement w/ everyone else... the shorter the hair, the better. Easier too. Wimmens love teh velvet head.

    My hair has been grown back for a long time.
    Crippler you're an *******, and unobservant. My calves definitely needed work 2.5 yrs ago...So how are you gonna say.."your calves need some work" without seeing current pics?

    I really needed to do this thread. Every time I feel skinny I can come back to this.
    Progress has been made for damn sure...Off to the store to get the dock.

    Calm down there, sport. I thought it was understood that if Im commenting in your PICTURE thread, I'm basing my opinion on your PICTURES. Hence why I said "some things I noted" and "it seems".

    With that said, it looks like you have made good progress on them from the blonde hair pics to the full leg one. I look forward to seeing the recent ones .

    You're a big dude. You definitely got bigger over the years. I can't wait to see new pics.
    "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

    It was at the Arnold..More importantly.
    Who was taking the pics?

    I bought the dock for my camera but it is useless. I have to wait for Budiak to get home so he can upload them.
    I hate this computer.


    Mitch: So what you are saying is, I can look at Arnold's pics from when he was 16 and tell him he needS to work on his calves (in the present tense)?
    That logic is illogical.But then you already knew that..
