Thanks for the condolences. Yes, maybe things will make a sudden turn when it actually ''happened'', though I do not remember ever being very sad when my grandparents died or when my pets vanished when I was a kid. And I was very emotionally attached to them (I loved them) but their sudden loss didn't have a lot of impact. I should probably be thankful seeing how much others suffer from that kind of loss. And I agree, emotions shouldn't need to be faked when being amongst friends, but there are certain situations where it can be very helpful. Still feeling like a major ass though. I don't really know how I compare in daily caloric intake with other people, all I know is that people close to me are always amazed by how little I actually eat, and I know by fact that I eat less than a friend who weighs 150lbs soaking wet. How is that possible? His metabolism is very inefficient while mine is efficient. According to my experience doing hard physical activities for years can change the efficiency of your metabolism, especially hard cardio like cycling. Sports lowers your idle heart rate (which can make a very big difference in energy consumption), wide and clean vessels makes the blood flow easier, and there is reduction in friction in the joints. Sports don't just increase your muscle mass and endurance, there is a lot more happening. I frequently do very long high altitude mountain hikes and neither my weight nor muscles mass ever gets in my way or makes me require excessive amounts of food to keep going. That being said, there are definitely benefits and draw backs with every body type, and it depends on the scenario which one you need. One thing I can always do is automatically sizing down from prolonged low caloric intake.

A family member and good friend of mine is on his deathbed. Which is hardly a surprise, he developed a terminal medical condition about a year ago and now in his last stage of his illness he is in great pain and feels terrible. Death is never gentle it seems. And I feel ashamed because I don't feel like I should, everyone is crying, sad or angry, but even though we've been best friends for two decades I feel absolutely nothing. I'm not shocked and totally aware of the situation, I'm also by no means someone who lacks empathy. I tried really hard to feel something, but now I have to fake being devastated because I don't want to ruin the relationship with my other family members. Its a really, really strange situation.

And most importantly the eye for good motives, which a lot of people lack. Me included. Anyway.

Tried to find a good film on TV for some after-workout relaxation (leg day, ew) and failed, I found nothing but mind numbing IQ-robbing nonsense. Its just amazing how much TV changed in the last decade, and definitely not to the better. Anyway, stayed a while at Animal Planet until they showed lions slowly eating an elephant baby alive, from the ass up, while to hosts commented the close up shots. Maybe I'm a wuss but who in the nine hells voluntarily watches baby animals getting eaten alive while suffering unimaginable pain and agony? But thats perfectly OK to watch while people totally freak out when some female sexual organs make it in the TV or games. Maybe its just me, but isn't the world a wee little bit deranged? This may sound very arrogant but sometimes I get the overwhelming feeling that I'm one of the few that were born with largely intact minds. Especially when watching TV.

Ok, I'm not a huge fan of relaxing music with vocals but I'll play. I like Groove Armada.

My condolences, TrueNeutral. I've lost all my grandparents and I miss them dearly, so I know how it feels. What I did today: Bent over rows, barbell, 80 kilograms, 4x 8 reps and 1x 2 reps of 97 kilograms. And I just realized its like doing it doggy-style with the barbell. Awkward.

Yes.

Black and bitter?

Drinking problems....

Had an amazingly good time at the shooting range. Hit like a champion with my rifles, helped novice shooters sighting in their scopes/rifles, after the shooting we had a great time drinking beer and talking about guns, politics, wars etc. Also met some interesting new people there. From all the people I know people that own guns and shoot are by far the most intelligent and friendliest ones. Just had a great, relaxing day. Interesting! What kind of surgery was it?

Interesting ''Neger'' in German is the racist term for black skinned people. I guess its something made of dark chocolate? What I did today: not much, mostly bearding. Beard makes me look like a 40 year old though, especially the mustache. I'm also trying to find a good Halloween costume but no ideas. Maybe I'll go the cheap route and buy an evil jester costume.

No, you barely need to sleep and you're totally hyper, energetic super moody and nervous - for weeks. But its also just as mentally draining as prolonged use of a powerful upper, Its awful.

Racing thoughts, insomnia and feeling like being on cocaine 24/7. My manic phase of my depression is striking again, right on time. Lovely.

I bought this as birthday present for a buddy. Best of collection of Modern Talking. Its just for fun, we always make fun of this band because its such an incredibly horribly cheesy 80's band with super high pitched voices and super cheesy song texts that were written for desperate lonely single moms. The pic says it all: And, I'll be damned, I'm just listening to the first CD and a couple of the songs aren't sooo bad at all........damn, I think I have to get rid of this evil artifact ASAP.

Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition Announced
Woldan replied to CoM_Solaufein's topic in Computer and Console
How far did you get in the game? Not very far, I think I played for 6-8 hours till frustration brought me to my knees. I forgot to mention that they had abysmal stats too, very low intelligence, charisma and constitution. -
Dude, give it a rest or we'll flush you down.

Reminds of when I tried to make a playthrough in IWD with a 6-member party of blue-skinned green haired chaotic evil gnome priests that killed everything they saw, friend and foe. Fun, fun times. -

Storing sensitive data to a device that is hooked to the 'net is just as brilliant. Especially as a celebrity. There wouldn't be so many crimes if people were less naive and dumb. -
You've always been full of hot air, Hurlshot.

Are overweight people more prone to panic? And whats an ''average'' person?

I've been in really serious situations in the mountains, and I usually climb ''with people''.

Oh là là. Good one.

What. Nobody here is calling anybody weak but you, I just said there are different kinds of personalities that react individually to stress. However, the case I mentioned is so severe that I fail to understand their complete complete lack of logical thinking. Because panic puts you and others in danger, and that is absolutely inexcusable, even if you are prone to it. If I know I'm having anger management issues I work on finding ways to control myself, If I'm prone to panicking I do the same thing.
