    I am with you man... I am hoping for somewhere around 12% by June 6th as well... Sometimes we are so worried about the end result that we really don't look at the joys of the journey... I am doing my best to enjoy the journy as much as possible, I suggest you do the same

    I really really really dont like to publically admit this, but I've invested well over 1000 hours into FF7. On just one save alone I got to 999 hours. Most of that was because I was doing a challenge which was basically to go through the game with either no materia or no new weapons... it was hard but I did it without materia (I think you needed to use certaint ones but you couldnt use any that werent 100% necessary). That and I tried like the dickens to bread the fastest gold chochobo I could.



    Good workout stump, and sorry about your er um ass-leg poutch.

    More then you know, I've played through the game atleast 5 times. Two of the times were speed plays where I finished the whole game in under 30 hours (which at a normal gamers pace without knowing what to do would easily be over 60 hours).

    The thing about FF is that their all too different from one another, even if the style/conecpt is the same. The only story of all the FF's I liked was 7's... I played and finished 7, 8, 9 and Tactics and played 10 but never finished it.

    The Final Fantasy series started to lose apeal to me when they started to intruduce that "gun blade" type stuff. Actually, I considered that completely ******ed. I did however, enjoy FF7 quite a bit, but certainly not FF8. I gave up on the series when FF8 came out after playing it for, oh... Possibly 5 - 6 hours.

    I wish they would return back to the midieval times.

    10:00 Natty pb on wheat
    3:00 oatmeal, was to hungry
    5:00 ?? something heathly iono yet

    Pullup Day

    Behind The Neck Pullups
    BW x 5 + 2 negitives
    BW x 4 + 1 negitive

    Pullups (palms out)
    BW x 5 + 2 negitives
    BW x 3 + 1 negitive

    Pullups (hammer grip)
    BW x 5 + 3 negitives
    BW x 4 + 1 negitive

    Really good IN AND OUT workout, pullups are king and who ever said BTN are bad is wrong because my lats were getting crushed, its weird because with hammer grip i can do +45 x 4 but BTN and palms out are hard for me.

    on other note, i may start going 5 days a week until i get a job because im bored on off days.
