Kishi Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 HAHAHAHAHAHAI know that one.It's supposed to have some kind of social commentary aspect on KPop as a whole and on the Gangnam lifestyle in particular. I just figure it's social commentary about the fact that his GF in the video is 14 years younger than he is.Might just be me being obtuse, though... Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to comment

I just figure it's social commentary about the fact that his GF in the video is 14 years younger than he is.Might just be me being obtuse, though...Gangnam style is a way of referring to people who will starve for a day so they can afford an expensive cup of coffee to drink in front of their friends.If you watch the video, and you're familiar with K-Pop and Korean rap tropes, you'll notice PSY in common situations of ostentatious wealth. In a bath-house, sitting on a throne, for example. Then, however, the camera widens to show that he is in fact in a situation of poor economic stature. In a bath-house with low-class people (tattoos are considered to belong only to hoodlums and criminals in Korea and Japan), in a public toilet, for example.So, less social commentary and more being silly, but a little social commentary.

CyningaDena Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 NFL elects transparent spandex for it's new uniforms...I appreciate all the apropos jokes they provided us with by picking Backus for the close-up; but of all the sweaty NFL ass I was hoping to see in this lifetime, Backus was maybe not even on the list.It is rather serendipitous that, although the designers never thought to check what happens when the fabric gets wet and stretchy, still, for all their cluelessness, they did provide us with an opaque panel that keeps my eyeballs from burning.

ETFnerd Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 Big Mo Moustafa Ismail, the real-life Popeye, and his 31 inch biceps enter Guinness Book of World RecordsMoustafa Ismail, an Egyptian-born bodybuilder, has just had his 31 inch biceps crowned the biggest in the world. Moustafa Ismail, 24, has spent ten years pumping iron twice a day and his upper arms now have the same circumference as a grown man’s waist. But despite his cartoon proportions he hates spinach. Instead “Big Mo” eats as much as 3 lbs of chicken, 1lbs of steak or fish and four cups of almonds washed down with two gallons of water and three litres of protein shakes.The bodybuilder was so dedicated to bulking up his arms he moved his whole family to America to gain access to better workout equipment. The muscle man said: “People always say you remind me of Popeye the sailor man. “This makes me laugh as the truth is I don’t have any spinach in my diet – I can’t stand the stuff.“Actually I think my arms are now bigger than the cartoon character.” Moustafa Ismail, who lives with his wife Carolina, started bodybuilding ten years ago in a bid to keep fit. But after hitting the gym he received hundreds of compliments on his bulging biceps and decided to concentrate all of his efforts on making them even bigger. Five years ago, when he failed to win a place in the Egyptian bodybuilding team he swapped his home country for the USA. He now trains at least twice a day and can lift an incredible 500 lbs.The gym fanatic admits to taking protein shakes to help with his bodybuilding but puts his bulging body down to genetics – his father was an Egyptian wrestler. He has a daily exercise regime of 5:00 a.m. until 8:00 a.m. during which he concentrates on cardio, strength-training and body sculpting, using heavy and light isolated weights.When Moustafa Ismail is not pumping iron he’s pumping gas at the two petrol station he owns near his home in Massachusetts. “Working out makes my mood better. You’re just focusing. “And I like that in this type of sport you can see your improvement in your shape,” he says. “I know they are growing, my chest, my shoulders, my arms. I love weights.” Moustafa Ismail’s biceps have now been confirmed as a record and he will appear in the Guinness Book of World Records 2013, which is launched in London today.BIG MO’S DAILY ROUTINEA minimum of three hours of training, at least twice a day• strength training• body sculpting• Weightlifting using heavy and light isolated weightsDaily diet includes:• 3lbs of chicken• 1lb of steak or fish• 4 cups of almonds• various sources of carbohydrates• 2 gallons of water• 3 litres of protein shakes i don't care what u think of me. unless u think i'm awesome. in which case u're right.

ETFnerd Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 hahaha... so one of the reasons i haven't been around here as much lately is because i've been going through a transition at work. about 6 months ago, i applied for a position that was very visible and competitive. after it was said and done, it seems that 719 people applied for this position. i suppose that's a reflection of the current state of employment domestically at this point in time. anyhoo, in the last couple of months, the process began to ramp up with over 10 interviews in 4 rounds. it was kinda stressful and i needed to focus on this for a while. a little while ago i was notified that i had been selected, so i will be transitioning to a new job in the next month or so. so my new office will be in the building pictured here.on the other hand, i've kept up running 5-6 days/week for about 8 miles/day and have been doing my pulls and sit-ups religiously. exercise turned out to be my anchor in helping me to retain my sanity during those stressful moments when it looked like i actually had a shot at being selected. i'm still on track in training to run the marine corp marathon with mom and dad in october, and found the hours on the treadmill to be thoughtful, introspective, calming and cathartic of all sorts of negative emotions. doing regular exercise, i found (i was probably not the first one ), provides benefits not only in physical health, but also in mental and emotional health which radiates out to many aspects of personal and professional well-being. i look forward to discovering what other benefits i can derive going forward from my newfound lifestyle.i'll be ramping up in my new role for a while and expect to participate to the extent i can, but i hope to check in here with my bros and bro-ettes as often as possible. peace homies... and don't suppress too hard your inner curlbro... hahaha... i don't care what u think of me. unless u think i'm awesome. in which case u're right.
