  • my triceps hurt. last work out, 2 strangers come up to me and start teaching me how do them. very odd session. but, very educational. one chinese dude told me the tricep has 3 heads. and to work all of them you have to 1. pull down, 2. pull upwards 3. middle range. i had never known. so the chinese guy taught me the knowledge... then this mexican guy comes to me and starts showing me the actual exercises to do them. he showed me all 3 types. i think i had never really done the pulling upwards method. that's why my tricep is hurting. i think my triceps are gonna look really different in a few weeks. i think it worked the triceps closest to the armpits.

    i found it...

  • you know those guys gathering carts in the parking lots to push them back into corporate stores? they work for the SAME PAY for PHYSICALLY DEMANDING work done in the SUMMER HEAT, in THE RAIN and THE COLD during the WINTER. these guys are putting in TIMES 3 sweat and effort compared to those workers chilling inside the store. THEY DESERVE TO BE PAID EXTRA. and yet they are paid the same minimum wage as everyone. they are people who are usually not as intelligent as the workers inside, but that doesn't give corporations the right to give them SLAVE WAGES for ACTUAL SLAVE work. noone sticks up for these guys and these people are scared to get laid off if they complain, so they continue to work the worst position for shit pay. i'm not a cart attendant, but i really feel for them because i know how tough it was pushing and putting stuff on the shelves all day long. imagine that same pressure to work quickly, but outside in the sun's heat and cold rains. this whole society is a legalized pyramid scheme and the people with the brains are organzing it and the people with less brains are being madoff'd out of their time, sweat and effort. some corporations donate 5% of their income to charity. why not just increase the pay of the cart attendants with that money.

  • i found a good book... i think it's gonna change my life, how i approach attaining goals. it teaches how to reward positive behaviors, goal attainment with positive reinforcers (rewards) my style has been totally about discipline without any system of reward. and, rewarding myself without doing anything. lol maybe this will put some sensible structure into my behavior. i'm still on the first 2 chapters... i'm on the chapter where i get to list all my positive reinforcers..a list everything i enjoy doing. these will be my rewards for when i do something positive.

    "The more immediately a piece of behavior is followed by a re-inforcer, the more effective that reinforcer will be in establishing that behavior."

    books are always like this... first 2-3 chapters are simple, useful, full of clarity... then, it starts to really get complicated and loses me as an audience.
