What's Your Edge

Happy new year, blog! Some of you may remember my goals from last year were:
1) Stop tilting
2) Play shorter sessions
3) Practice drums/guitar
4) Go out more

In retrospect, I failed pretty badly at most of those for the first half of the year, esp 1 & 2. I had my two biggest losing days in April/May of last year at -$43k and -$24k, respectively. And I wasn't playing 25/50 in those sessions. I really grabbed hold of myself after those days, however, and cut out the tilt. Second half of the year was much better.

Goals for 2010:
1) Continue tilt control. This will always be my #1 priority. I want to be the best at quitting (Tommy Angelo-style).
2) Work out regularly & put on some muscle. I started the year 5'10", 145-150lbs and hope to put on ~15lbs of muscle this year.
3) Learn drums for real. I'm quite good at Rock Band drums and replicating complex rhythms in general, but I've never played on a real kit before. I was fortunate enough to have a friend lend me her Gretsch drum kit a few weeks ago until she moves into a bigger place, and I started lessons this week. Having a blast, this is tons of fun!
4) Go out more! I live in downtown Austin for a reason...

More about #2: I have a super metabolism that's allowed me to eat anything I wanted for my whole life without ever gaining weight, so in order to put on weight Greg pointed me to this somewhat radical diet called GOMAD. Basically, you drink a gallon of whole milk every day in addition to your normal diet. So since I've started working out regularly, I'm gonna give this a try until until I hit 170. LOOK OUT JERSEY SHORE!

Gotta drink your milk like a baller:

Progress so far, even after throwing away two empty jugs:

That's it for now, just remember:

i seen no benifits to drinking that milk. proccessed milk like that has next to no calcium or vitaminn D in it its basicly empty calories try and get ur milk fresh from a farmer. it should be yellow in coulor and thinker than full fat milk. also best way to make sure u gain muscel weight is to do a hypertaphy style weights program focuse on 1 body part each day and do say 3 exersizes each doing 6-8 reps and doing 4 sets. on diet with fresh organic foods avoid the big name supermarkets if u can. consume lots of fish and meats right after training.
any other food stuff or exersize stuff u want to know just pm me. other than that i suggest reeding a book called ' in defense of food'

just eat all the food in your house. then go to your neighbor's and eat all their food. do this every day.

it will be more enjoyable than going through the milk anyway.
