I'm always psyched up.

But i remember when i was having problems with my girlfriend around that time i put alot of my anger into weights and used that energy and for some reason i did alot better then usual.

Ichiguchi, a Japanese olympic medalist in wrestling was giving a seminar to younger children.
Said Ichiguchi- "I train almost every day. I get up in the morning, and run. Upon my return, I lift with partner. After lunch, we drill, and some days we will train later in the day."
A small child in the crowd seemed confused. "But isn't that lifestyle boring?" he asked.
Ichiguchi just smiled. "Yes, but the gold medal is very shiny."

Kinda sad but.....

Green Day, "American Idiot" gets me going.
Love that freakin album!

I don't agree with a couple of the verses, but I've always been a big Green Day fan so......

But the album works better, not just a song.

I actually skip past #1 (American Idiot). I'm growing to hate that song.

The rest of the album is... well... pure bliss while working out.

Perfect blend of hard and easy
