Out of Order

What a week-end.

I played with a Kettle-Bell. Those Russians know how to kick your arse. For those that don't know what a kettle-bell is, picture a 36kg cannonball, with a handle. It's a lot of fun, but I am waiting for my forearm to snap when the bell comes crashing down onto it.

I finally got my Original Venture Industries shirt. I really like it. It's in my top 3 of shirts from T-Shirt Club.

People who work with kettlebells are VERY fit and usually VERY strong.

Yeah. They kicked my arse!

Did a bunch of cleans, presses, swings, etc. It was a short (perhaps 30 minutes total), but dayum! I hurt all over (in a good way). I am very glad the gym has high ceilings. I couldn't do this at home.

Hi, I saw your post in the worldofwarcraft blog and well, it didn't take much to figure out you're gay (and quite hot). ;) But I'm just leaving you a note because it sounds like your guild isn't Stonewall or the Taint, and I was just wondering if you knew about the two biggest gay guilds in WoW. There's drama - of course - but there are also enough serious gamers to form [a few] hardcore raid teams, a couple of which are up to Sunwell. :)

Thanks for the info! I've actually known about both of those guilds, but didn't really feel the need to seek them out.

While I am sure a good guild would be better than the guild I am in now (my current guild are good folk, they're just interested in different things), it's really a question of "done-ness". The new content simply isn't compelling, and I don't feel like grinding another 10+ levels. I'll probably come back, but for now, I'm letting it go.

I've tried to quit a coupla times but couldn't kick the addiction. :p

My raiding guild is straight and more efficient than either gay guilds, but geez, reading their chat is boring as heck. I think what keeps WoW fun for me is that I'd be doing routine questing on my Stonewall/Taint toon, and the guild chat will suddenly turn to a debate about which position is best or why it's better to be versatile, lol.

It's not all about the sex talk, but I just think it's more fun WoWing with a gay guild. Maybe you should give it a try before quitting. :p

(I hope I'm not sounding pushy!)

Kettlebells force you to increase your grip just to keep them from crashing into your forearms. It's also a completely different dynamic when used instead of dumbbells in certain exercises. You'll end up with Popeye forearms in no time.

Which is *never* a bad thing.
