Bringin’ Sexy Back

Posted in Joe, tagged , , , , , on January 31, 2008 | 5 Comments »

This evening, I was reading a post at one of many online fitness forums I visit and someone mentioned a group of nudists requesting “Naked Sundays” at a gym in the Netherlands.  One of the commenters posted,
I can’t even imagine what would inspire someone to do this. I can’t think of one single good thing [...]

Relationship Commitment Issues

Posted in Humor, tagged , , , on January 29, 2008 | 5 Comments »

Dearest John,
It’s hard for me to say this, but we both know it’s time to face the reality of this situation.
You and I just don’t get the quality ‘alone time’ we did during the first couple weeks of our relationship.  Our initial togetherness has dwindled down to nothing.
Sometimes you make me feel it’s because I’m heavy and [...]

Is The Writer’s Strike Finally Over?

Posted in Joe, tagged on January 28, 2008 | No Comments »

Ok, so maybe this isn’t about THOSE writers TV fans everywhere have been hoping will get back to work.
But it has been a busy couple of weeks around here and this blog had to move down my priority list slightly.
Look, it’s January and I’m in the fitness-biz. If people would just start making their [...]

The Absolute-Funniest-Blog-Post-Ever-Award Goes To…

Posted in Ha-ha, Humor on January 11, 2008 | 1 Comment »

This one.
It has nothing to do with fitness (well,  maybe the “third wheel” pic could stand an outside shot at making it), but this is too good for me to not link to.
No sense for me to even try to describe it.  Words couldn’t possibly do it justice.
Enjoy.

When Did Nipples Become Unfashionable?

Posted in Humor, Joe, Opinions are like…, Tasteless, tagged , , , on January 11, 2008 | 3 Comments »

I went to the post office today to pick up my usual bag of fan mail (OK, so maybe it’s a really small bag, but it’s still a bag!) and what to my amazement did appear but a new fitness-music catalog.
It’s the kind of mix/jam stuff designed for the leg-warmer & leotard ‘group fitness leader’, but [...]

Long Live The Pub Culture

Posted in Joe, News, Opinions are like…, tagged , , , , on January 9, 2008 | No Comments »

A popular news story says you can add 14 years to your life if you
“don’t smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in moderation”
I find it interesting that the study was done in the UK where life expectancy at birth is 79.4 but alcohol & moderation are rarely used in the same sentence. (I assume there must still [...]

The One Thing That Really Pisses Me Off Is…

Posted in Serious-talk, tagged , , on January 8, 2008 | 1 Comment »

CANCER.
No, I don’t have it (hopefully), but I am a realist. 
I don’t know about you, but the likelihood of me (or you) getting “the C-word” is enough to make me want to do something about it.
Eventually, we’re all gonna die of something, so why bother, right?
I’ll tell you why… its because there are more glamorous ways to check out.  [...]

Mayhem, Hellga, Toa and Venom…

Posted in Reviews, Television, tagged , , , , on January 7, 2008 | 1 Comment »

Yeah, baby… The Gladiators are back with a vengeance!
Now I don’t watch a lot of TV, but when something as entertaining (and inherently cheesy) comes along as the revival of this late ’80s/early ’90s classic program, it’s a safe bet I’ll be glued to the idiot box until the Hulkster grumbles his final “yeah, brother”.
The current cast of Gladiators absolutely rocks: [...]
