It takes a lot of discipline to eat correctly. I remember the days when I would have a large muffin and a yoohoo for breakfast. I'd eat crap fast food lunch and then over eat at dinner. Those days are behind me and I do not miss them. I watch what I eat, I count my calories, fat, carbs and protein. Calories is right around 2,000 (which I need to increase). Fat is VERY low, maybe like 30-60 grams, Most of it is from fish or almonds. carbs is under 100 for the day and my protein is always well above 200 grams.

Counting shit is work. I remember counting carbs when I was in college. I spent like a month doing it. I would figure out what I wanted to eat, look at the carbs in it, and eat it. The number of carbs never changed if or how much of it I ate, I just knew how much I was eating.
I think it's worth noting that I do enjoy almost everything I eat. I haven't had to resort to eating useless crap like celery, nor would I consider it. I had BW3s for lunch yesterday, and a Salmon Patty with french fries for dinner. I simply refuse to overindulge. The nice thing about a small salad is that it takes a long time to eat (compared to a cheezburger) so by the time you're done, your stomach is telling your brain "hey, I don't need a whole lot more" |
Ha ha, O.N.S. I must live in a slutty city because they are far too frequent. But for real, healthy eating will benefit you the most if you're looking to get into shape.

"But when Kenny G decided that it was appropriate for him to defile the music of the man who is probably the greatest jazz musician that has ever lived by spewing his lame-ass, jive, pseudo bluesy, out-of-tune, noodling, wimped out, fucked up playing all over one of the great Louis's tracks (even one of his lesser ones), he did something that I would not have imagined possible. He, in one move, through his unbelievably pretentious and calloused musical decision to embark on this most cynical of musical paths, shit all over the graves of all the musicians past and present who have risked their lives by going out there on the road for years and years developing their own music inspired by the standards of grace that Louis Armstrong brought to every single note he played over an amazing lifetime as a musician. " Come on Pat, tell us how you really feel...:laugh: That interview is so callous that I googled to see if it was a fake but so far I have not found any evident that it is. Regardless, Pat Metheny is a great musician (his popular stuff with Mays is great, and his hardcore jazz stuff is fantastic) and I completely agree with that article whether it is fake or not. |
I'm pretty sure it's genuine. It's been out for a long time, and Metheny has never tried to distance himself from it.
Still Life Talking is an amazing album. |
He goes on about how KG isn't really a JAZZ musician because his playing style isn't what people would normally consider jazz. KG is different, so KG is a bad musician....
In the history of music, the musicians whose music stands the test of time are the ones that aren't afraid to be radically different. 80's pop music is still amazingly popular today because it was such a huge departure from the music that came before it. (I personally hate 80's music, but I won't deny its place as one of the best decades) This thread makes me want to turn on some rapper's delight / first gen hip-hop. |

It might not have been a fantastic recording on KGs part, but what would Louis think? 60 years later, and 40 years after his death, his music is still being used as a reference by a well known musician. It's not a knock on Louis, but rather an amazing compliment. Even if KGs version is shit, I think Louis would be absolutely thrilled.

You never know, they might check.
Proof-of-payment or POP is an honor-based fare collection approach used on many public transportation systems. Instead of checking each passenger as they enter a fare control zone, proof-of-payment requires that each passenger carry a ticket or pass proving that they have paid the fare. Ticket controllers or conductors make periodic checks to deter fare evasion. I didn't see a "validation machine" anywhere.On many systems, a passenger can purchase a single-use ticket or multi-use pass at any time in advance, but must insert the ticket or pass into a validation machine before use. Validation machines in stations or on board vehicles time stamp the ticket. The ticket is then valid for some period of time after the stamped time. Advantages of proof-of-payment include lower labor costs for fare collection, simpler station design, easier access for mobility-impaired passengers, easier access for those carrying packages or in case of an emergency, and a more open feel for passengers. On buses, proof-of-payment saves drivers the time needed to collect fares, and makes it possible for all doors to be used for boarding. Validated tickets can double as transfers between lines. Disadvantages include potentially higher rate of fare evasion, reduced security on station platforms when no barrier is used, increased potential of racial profiling and other unequal enforcement as "likely fare evaders" are targeted, and regularly exposing passengers to unpleasant confrontational situations when a rider without the proper proof is detained and removed from the vehicle. Visitors unfamiliar with a system's validation requirements who innocently misunderstand the rules are especially likely to get into trouble. The proof-of-payment method is implemented when the transit authority believes it will lose less money to the resultant fare evasion than it would cost to install and maintain a more direct collection method. Generally it is used in systems whose passenger volume and density are not very high most of the time—as passenger volumes increase, more-direct collection methods become more profitable. POP can be complemented with a more direct collection approach where this would be feasible—a transit authority utilizing POP will usually post fare inspectors, sometimes armed as a police force, to man entrances to stations on a discretionary basis when a high volume of passengers is be expected. For example, transit users leaving a stadium immediately following a major concert or sporting event will likely have to buy a ticket from an attendant (or show proof of payment) to gain access to the station(s) servicing the stadium. Proof-of-payment is popular in Germany, where it was widely introduced during the labor shortages resulting from the Economic Miracle of the 1960s. It has also been adopted in Eastern Europe and Canada and has made some inroads in newer systems in the United States. The first use of the term "POP" or "Proof of Payment" on a rail line in North America is believed to have been in Edmonton in 1980. Some urban mass-transit systems in the United States have gone the other way, however, and are installing fare barriers that are harder to evade. One example is the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, which in 2006 installed subway fare gates with automatic doors instead of a traditional turnstile, making it harder to jump over or duck under the mechanism. However they are enacting a quasi-proof-of-payment system for the surface light-rail service. Riders paying with cash must pay at the front door and will be issued a receipt as POP. Holders of prepaid fare media will be able to validate their tickets beforehand at some stations and have a receipt issued. At other stations, personnel with handheld scanners will deduct value from cards or check for passes, allowing these riders to board at the unattended doors. If no inspectors are on duty those with stored value media are expected to use the farebox on board while those with passes can board at the unattended doors. |
I put 3 peppermint altoids in my mouth. Once they disolved, I then put in a pinch of Copenhagen Natural Extra Long Cut. My taste buds exploded with delight, and it was better than any flavored tobacco I have ever chewed. The strong peppermint altoid accented this smooth tobacco in a way that I cannot describe. It was pure Nirvana. I strongly suggest indulging in this method.

But the problem with good fresh food is it's expensive and I *can* eat a lot. Anything that has bee processed and packaged is "meh" at best. So my conculsion is that only people willing to spend the money and time on fresh food can be the most healthy and not worry about eating junk evey now and then. Notice you never see huge fatties that are rich? (except Oprah). So rather than change my eating habits, I'm changing how I burn off the food I eat. Like just now I used the stairs to hike my ass back up 10 floors..skipping stairs to increase the load on my legs and range of movement...and promptly sat down to eat 1.2 a grilled chicken wrap and a large chocolate muffin :rofl: |
On a side note.
Does anyone else find those "Blue Collay Comedy Tour" fuckers annoying as fuck? My God do I feel insulted when they open their mouths. I had one of my TVs at work on Com. Cent. while I was watching Daily Show/Colbert and this shit came on afterwords. I didn't feel like finding something else to put on that TV and left it on. I could only take about 5 minuts of that shit as background noise before I had to turn it off. Shit is sooooo lame..how do people find that shit funny? "My grandms once got arrested at Bass Pro Shops because they accused her of stealing a duck call and some Deer Bomb when all she had eaten a burrito and walking around the womans bathroom" (or some shit like that) People really find that shit funny? |
Something tells me one would be hearing very hard breathing if you ran up 10 flights of stairs and skipped a step each time. Either that or you're playing with the chance of mis-stepping and falling all the way down.
|
Bet your ass I was winded...for a couple of minutes.
Umm..btw...like every other stair case, they double back :confused: so there is no way I could fall all the way down? I've also raced the elevator from 10 to the bottom, it made one stop but I still beat it. Won't do that again. So does anyone else hate when you sitting down and blow out a raunchy fart...like one so bad you leave where you are but you can't get away from it because its in your shirt and creeping out the collar right under your nose? I just walked half way across the office and still had that shit following me around. Next time I'm going crop-dusting. |

The unintelligent person is likely to become confused on many of the points of conversation, will become disinterested, and will generally have a feeling that the intelligent person has made up most of their information from thin air, and is generally untrustworthy, even though every point the intelligent person made may have been dead on correct. The intelligent person will quickly become bored with conversation, because every point that the unintelligent person is trying to prove will have already been painfully obvious to the intelligent person. The intelligent person will generally have a feeling that the unintelligent person is lazy, and generally untrustworthy, even though every point the unintelligent person made may have been dead on correct. A similar effect is seen on people with different backgrounds/upbringings. While you might watch them and think "that comedy is absolutely horrible, boring, tacky, and lewd", someone like myself can actually put up with them and get a few laughs. Their target audience is laughing their asses off though, because while you are correctly thinking "Nobody in their right minds would actually try to arrest someone because of how they sounded/smelled", the target audience is thinking of which of their friends or family members most closely matches the description of the person, and they are picturing them getting arrested for walking around and farting in the middle of a bass pro shops. This is funny to them. I do recall one of Jeff's first redneck jokes years back: "If your working TV is sitting on top of your non-working TV....you might be a redneck" We were watching the show on a TV we had pulled out of a bedroom because grandma's old console TV had gone out.... The entire living room went up in a roar. |
LOL, i finally got to listen to it:
have you ever went over a friends house to eat and the food just aint no good i mean the macaroni's soggy the peas are mushed and the chicken tastes like wood so you try to play it off like you think you can by sayin that youre full and then your friend says momma he's just being polite he aint finished uh uh that's bull so your heart starts pumpin and you think of a lie and you say that you already ate and your friend says man there's plenty of food so you pile some more on your plate while the stinky foods steamin your mind starts to dreamin of the moment that it's time to leave and then you look at your plate and your chickens slowly rottin into something that looks like cheese oh so you say that's it i got to leave this place i dont care what these people think im just sittin here makin myself nauseous with this ugly food that stinks so you bust out the door while its still closed still sick from the food you ate and then you run to the store for quick relief from a bottle of kaopectate and then you call your friend two weeks later to see how he has been and he says i understand about the food baby bubbah but we're still friends Classic! |
Oh I don't mind some good gross/lewd/childish jokes...but something about those guys is really annoying..on top of the fact that they are fake as a Coach purse bought for $10 in Times Square. With that said, I'll be going to see Danial Tosh in October. That motherfucker makes me laugh.

I think he was a little harsh on slamming him for the showmanship aspect of his performance since that is part of a lot of otherwise very respectable jazz musician performances. For example I saw Stanley Clarke play an outdoor free jazz festival a few years back. He is arguably an outstanding bassist (RTF and his own stuff as well). But that night he was hamming up some relatively simple stuff for the sake of the fanboys who were standing in front of the stage. Hell even some of the excellent Jazz Fusion (RTF, Mahavishnu, Miles Davis) in the 70s had a lot of showmanship in it, though it was based on virtuoso playing, like McLaughlin playing ridiculously fast and complex solos. Would Leonardo Da Vinci be thrilled if I drew devil horns and a Groucho Marx moustache on the Mona Lisa? |

I'd be curious to know what I'd do in a real mile. |
I'm raising the shit tomorrow
:rolleyes: My week of summer has officially started. I'll be consuming massive amounts of alcohol etc... Drunken donuts, possibly.
Oh and I'll be testing these FM Vmaxx. Rolling around at 10-1/2" right now. :giggle: The Clubroadster is strong with me right now. |
