Just so, so right on the money. Pure, unadulterated truth. So rare these days which makes it even that more beautiful.

You made my day.

Thanks. It’s a pet peeve of mine. You see a lot of it here in New York City even though we have a large black population. The white liberals all live in very white neighborhoods. And if you can afford to live in those neighborhoods you can afford to live in the hood but none of them do.

Another day - another one as follows: 

Up at 4 am. 

5-6 am        -    Weights and sandbags, kettlebell, medicine ball, etc 
6-7 am        -   4 Mile Ruck

I already have 6 miles on my watch clocked in. 


Shizzo - what did you do so far today?

I hate Liberals. They make sure their kids go to the best schools. They do not have to live with cockroaches.  ::)

I imagine Shizmeister wakes up just before noon - to microwave pancakes his mom left out for him before she went to work.

It’s free for the basic stuff. There’s a subscription option for a bunch of features you don’t need.

I'm going to break trend an add running to my program as incremental work.

Currently, the conditioning parts are short and brutal - for example 5 consecutive sets of 1:30 consisting of: 150 meter shuttle run, use remaining time for 120lb sandbag clean to shoulder and slam.

Sweat like crazy and gassed, but my running suffers.  I had to run two miles through the woods and it felt like shit the other day, when it should be a 15 minute breeze.

Two-miles run in 15:00 is impressive for a bigger guy GA.

Oh yes some do. What would be the motivation for them to do that? It is gentrification, which eventually displaces the poor who can no longer afford to live in those neighborhoods. Hundreds of NYC-area neighborhoods are exclusive or "super-gentrified," while others are at risk. Among the neighborhoods in New York that have been gentrified are Tribeca, DUMBO and parts of the Upper East Side.

I'm not picking on New York. Gentrification is a problem for the poor everywhere. It is a big problem in the Portland Metro area where what used to be 'the hood' a close to downtown neighborhood in N.E. Portland has been gentrified, displacing many who have lived there for generations. Many of these people now live much further from downtown and the industrial areas where some of them work. So the people who can least afford it are spending more on transportation to their jobs and services which are often not available in these low income suburbs.

One solution is to for cities to require a certain amount of affordable housing in all neighborhoods. There are problems with this idea though. If the city sponsors large scale low income projects and they can find contractors willing to build them, they become hell holes (ghettos within the project). Mixed income housing doesn't often work because of high real estate values.

For all of time there have been the 'haves' and the 'have nots'. Those at the top of the ladder wish those on the bottom rungs would just disappear even though these are the folks who out of necessity accept the jobs those with money will not. We all wish there were easy answers, but they don't exist. If they did, everyone would live 'the good life'.

It's normal to want to move to a cleaner neighborhood with less crime.  It's PC culture to try to make it into some sort of racist motivation and to paint things as 'white flight.'  You could see gentrification in countries other than the US too, it isn't a racist thing.  I don't see gentrification as a problem.  I see it as evolution.
 Neighborhoods change.  It's normal.

Your excuses are a lot like DMX’s kids: so numerous that it’s hard to keep track of all of them.

How do you get ready for work in 15 minutes after a workout? You don't shower? Eat? It takes me 15 minutes just to change clothes, then brush my teeth and hair.

I train outside and have not gotten disgusting yet but change at the office which is across the street from where I train. .
