Abdominals! We all have them and we all love them. Or, at least we love looking at them on other people. Like on Brad Pitt. Have you seen that dude’s abs? Shit man. I’m still in awe every time I watch Fight Club. Continue reading

As Father’s Day is quickly approaching, and I’m drowning the sound of my biological clock ticking loudly in the echo chamber created by my lack of uterus – I’ve been startled, intrigued and then creeped-out by the following story that ran across on my RSS feeds: British Woman Eva Ottoson, 56, is heading towards ground breaking surgery to donate her womb to her own daughter.
Husbands all around the world just suddenly found something interesting about those sweat pants you sleep in. The possibility that you’ll take them off and want to have sex while you sleep! No? You don’t think so? How do you know? According to researchers, Sexsomnia can affect anyone. Do you know for sure that you aren’t afflicted with possibly the best sleep disorder ever? People! If your nocturnal emissions are uh, no longer a one person activity, have no fear. You’re not alone. Other people are boning in their sleep too.
Sex…too magical to be contained with consciousness. Continue reading
In a hotly disputed announcement the World Health Organization (WHO) released a study yesterday that linked cell phone use to two rare types of tumors, one that is cancerous. WHO officials classified the radiation released from cell phones as “possibly carcinogenic to humans.” Continue reading
How was week 1 everyone? Have you been super squatting, hitting it hard, crunching like a cap’n?
If you weren’t here last week, these are the nuts and bolts of our Challenge. Please join our little journey! I’ll explain the shorts but OGs may remember them from our first meeting.
To recap, my goals were to:
The following is part three of my personal account of Gastic Bypass surgery. This will cover your long term diet, possible side effects and complications and a few words of advice for anyone considering the procedure. My wife took a picture of me a couple days ago just for this article. It is located at the bottom. No cheating and scrolling ahead.
When I was a teenager, I snored like a chainsaw. I know this because one time my stepdad came from another room in the middle of the night to wake me up and tell me that my snoring woke him up. I wasn’t overweight, because I didn’t start putting on the pounds until I had gotten past high school. I’m telling you this because it was very weird that I stopped snoring about a month after the surgery. Continue reading
Welcome to our new house, aka Wednesday. This is where we’ll be from now on because I’m a neurotic who needs to check this post every five seconds and my Thursday schedule isn’t conducive to that. Continue reading
The following is part two of an account of my gastric bypass. (Part one can be found here.) It covers the diet during the first year and some of the challenges you might face living everyday life after having the surgery. The above picture is me 10 days post op. I weighed roughly 300 pounds at the time it was taken. Continue reading
I have a three-inch scar on the right side of my head from the top of where my ear meets my skull upwards. This wouldn’t be noticeable except for the fact that I also have pretty standard male pattern baldness and so I sport a fresh clean shaven head. The result is a hand carved seam down the right side of my head. I don’t see it everyday myself as it’s outside of my field of vision. When taking my photograph though I do request you only use my good side. This is in all my contracts – or rather it will be if you’ll just sign on this line here… and then initial here… Great, now here’s the story: Continue reading
The following is an account of my gastric bypass. It took place almost 3 years ago (June 30th is my Surgiversary). I’m writing this as a guide for people who might be thinking about having the surgery so they have some idea of what they can look forward to. Also, if you have friends or relatives who are considering having the surgery or who have had it, this might help you to help them. Post-surgery support is very important to succeeding in this situation. Part One will cover why I had the surgery and some of the hoops I had to jump through to get there. That bloated sack in the picture is me immediately following the surgery. I weighed 320 pounds on the day of the operation.
