On my mind. . .

- If it can't withstand some wind, how can we expect the Bay Bridge to make it through the next big quake?
- After much thought and research I have realized that anabolic steroids are not the devil. I've been reading a lot on this and listening to quite a few podcasts (and following up on the entailed statements), and don't see how anyone can justify the amount of time and taxpayer dollars that goes into prosecuting individuals trafficking in/possessing these steroids.
- I am against the use of anabolic steroids for performance unless said organization explicitly allows for them in their bylaws.
- I need to get a part time job.
- I need to work on my personal statement
- I like almond butter better than almonds.
- Figure/Fitness/FBB competitions are oddly entertaining. I find the criteria frustratingly confusing, am not a big fan of posing in bikinis, and think the effort the competitors go to in terms of dieting/training is insane. Nevertheless, I find the fitness routines to be inspiring (particularly the 45 second routine that was just fazed out), the dedication of the competitors to be impressive (and in some cases, troubling), and the psychological reaction to the post-show weight regain to be fascinating. I guess the idea of losing all that weight while knowing that there will be a fixed point at which some will be regained both purposefully (for muscle gain) and necessarily.
- how ironic it is that men seem to prefer the offseason body of a competitor while women prefer their competition look
- how much my hip hurts
- that my chiropractor will probably hit me again tomorrow when I admit to stepping on the stairmill after telling him I would (try to) avoid it.
- that I didn't want to do lunges until the chiro told me that can't do any lifting and especially not squats or lunges.

.... and much much more.
