I am having 2nd thoughts on going to the Jr USA in Charleston, SC, this weekend (May 17).
I alredy have a ticket, a 2nd row seat. I think it is a well run, well orgnaized contest and it has some good physiques and figure girls on stage,etc.
It is a 360 mile drive ( 720 roundtrip) to the contest. I have a 6 cyl car and even at 25 mpg, it will cost about $100 bucks for the gas and another $100 for a decent room. I am not huring for money and just don't feel like taking the time to drive there.
Part of me wants to go see the show, but I also want to say F- it and jjust workout,hang around my place with my ex-wife/gf and dogs.
I think I would enjoy it more taking her our to a fancy dinner at some swanky joint :D
What would you do?

Howie, I believe you have finally figured out the meaning of life!
Happiness equals spending your time and money in ways that bring you pleasure, not pain and regret.

i'd tell my gf that i really wanna go to the show but since i love her soo much i'm gonna sacrifice seeing it to stay home with her and take her out to a swanky place...
then at night i'd do her in the pooper..and she'd let me
its a win win! ;D

It depends on what you believe you will get out of the experience. Will seeing the show inspire you in regards to your own training and dieting? Some people come away from a show inspired, because of seeing so many people in peak condition. Or will you come away, disillusioned knowing the vast amount of drugs these guys are on, realizing that you will probably never want to take that amount and that your HRT doses won't turn you into a monster. Will you put those thoughts aside and just enjoy the spectacle, not only on stage, but in the audience as well..you know what I mean, the girls in their crazy tight, hooker outfits, and the bulked out juicers walking around the lobby with their arms out like fighter jet wings. This is what you need to consider.

THanks and I am not down or depressed on bodybuilding, I just didn't feel like spending the time and effort to drive there by myself. My exwife/gf was pretty psyched when I told her I wanted to hang with her instead.
She plays keyboard in a country rock group, they have gig this saturday night near ATL.
Last yr, I went with that blonde woman, BETH and made a fun weekend trip of it.

Howie, this is why people have diaries...
I hesitated putting this up as it is a trivial personal issue. But since it was bodybuilding, I figured why not.

Finally a positive reason to get off my lazy ass and drive there ;)
I get tired, lathargic and lazy the last couple weeks of school most yrs.
I may go, I really want to see the show and have no reason to fart around here.

If you've never visited Charleston before, go to the show, Howie.

I used to be stationed near there when I was US marine, many moons ago.
I will most likely go and get out of this slug mode I have been in LOL.

I like bodybuilding as much as the next guy, but I would never go out of my way to attend a show. Any show I attend has to be taking place in my city or very close to it (within 5-10 miles). In my view people who drive hundreds of miles or fly half a country away to attend a bodybuilding show are... well... I better not finish that sentence. :-[

LOL, but look at the number that travel to attend all kinds of other sporting events?
Bodybuilding is my favorite sport and my going to a meet like the Jr USA is like a college football fan going to watch his team at an away game.
I know what you mean about the hassle of traveling , trust me Bay

Is it a natural event Howard and if not than why are you supporting, in your words, the abuse of drugs ???

All the bodybuilders will be natural and no figure girls will have boob implants , either. ::)
If ya can't beat 'em, join 'em is my motto aka when in Rome....etc.
On a somewhat serious note, I really enjoy seeing NPC National shows. You get to see all the wt classes and various physiques battle it out. I am going to just the night show however.

Tomorrow's thread by Howie:
Hey, guys, I need your help - Should I wear black underwear today, or gray? I really can't decide, and my constant indecision compels me to go to a bodybuilding board to seek advice from strangers on this important matter. On the one hand, gray says "sophisticated" and "worldly", yet black seems to hide the skid marks better. Say, have I ever told you guys about my girlfriend/ex? I don't think I've mentioned her in my many posts, and I want you guys to know I'm not gay or a loser. I get pussy, you know, dammit! Say... what do you guys thing about drugs in bodybuilding? The should do testing, dammit... drugs are killing the sport! Okay, so what about the underwear thing? What would you do? Please answer soon, because if I can't get any good advice on this, I'm not going to be able to get dressed, and I'm not sure they'll let me teach naked.
Thanks, guys!

Pretty much sums up what I was going to post, and will save me from writting it.
FYI, it is tighty-whiteys , skid marks be damned :-X

Howard,
I like you a lot. You seem like a fun guy and a nice person. However, driving 700 miles to watch young boys straining, posing and flexing in a G-string, I can't relate to that in any way. I would save the 200 bucks and take your wife out.

LOl, thanks...I think :D
It is just over 5 hrs on hwy each way. Lots of sports fans drive more than that to see stuff.
Bodybuilding is my sport and I really enjoy attending events.
My wife and I are going out friday night anyway.

The only thing gayer than driving 300 miles to see an amateur bodybuilding show is driving 30 miles to play in a Scrabble tournament!

You'll just end up selling gear and doing G4P like all the other wannabe Scrabble Pro's.

I'd stay home and hit the pussy, instead of going to a show with bunch of semi-nude men, flexing on stage.....but that's just me.

Actually, the National Scrabble Association just got word that I played in a Scrabulous Tournament on Facebook and now I'm facing a 12-month suspension.

Ed are you really in this? ???
No biggy , here are some of my nerdy things...
1. I was on the chess and debate teams in high school ( I really was)
2. I am a season ticket subscriber to the Atlanta Symphony
3. I teach physics for a living and am a long time member of the AAPT
4. I enjoy the opera, chamber music and various museums
As I look at the things I have done and anjoy, I feel like I may as well wear a tutu and let some lezbo nail me in the kiester with a strap-on :o

to go pro, do you have to blow a couple of creepy old brothers that run the entire scrabble federation?

I know, being a fan if this sport is pretty wacky, but I enjoy it.
Funny how nobody questions traveling across the country to watch various college sports teams: football, baseball, basektball, etc and thhey are amatuers.
My sport is bodybuilding and I competed. I now still judge and am a fan.
-

Nahhh, nothing gay like that. I just have to dance around in my official Scrabble boxers with my cock hanging out for a few of the Directors is all.

That would be a must see video on BNR ;)
How about this: We have a bodybuilding meet where they do a scrabble or math problem round ?
How would the avg IFBB pro fair on that?

Howie why the Fuk go to a comp unless you are competing or you are an arse lover.Money better spent on your girl at least happy wife happy life.Chick will be on here saying how Fantastic it was anyway.Keep your money give your ticket to Troy Alves.I hear he sells outside comps. ::)

Hasn't your National Scrabble Association Athlete's Rep taken up your case and fought for your reinstatement? Also, when your suspension ends, do you automatically get to play Scrabble again, or will they string you along for another couple of years, effectively preventing you from making a living, yet forcing you to forgo playing Scrabble in any competing Scrabble Associations in the interim? Also, if you fuck a grapefruit do you think they may let you back early?

I just got a PM from someone saying that Scrabble players are NOT athletes! What a bunch of BS. We train, study, hit 'Thinker' poses, and get up on stage and compete. Since when does wearing a thong make one an athlete?

Joe Loco insisted in an earlier thread that "Scrabble is NOT a sport!" However, Earl1972 immediately jumped in and set him straight.

Did you guys know that Zaphod outscores Xfactor 20-19 as the highest scoring single screenname on Getbig? 'Ron' is the lowest scorer with a measly three points!
Heck, at least our scoring system is consistent. It ain't like the guy with the BrainQuicken supplement deal always wins our Championship!

Well friday is here and I don't feel like making the drive. I would end up leaving saturday, drive there, see the show, and drive part of the way back at night, get a room and then head home, etc.
In brief, I just don't feel like driving that far right now, just to see a bodybuilding contest.
Now if I had the chance to see the Jr Nationals SCRABBLE contest, I would drive twice as far ;)
Everyone knows the hot babes that play scrabble are numerous and they dress like hottys, unlike bodybuilding and figure/fitness.

Howie, sorry I lied about not going to the show. I was afraid you would come to meet up with me and then I'd have to buy my own tickets. Now tell me: Are your tickets at 'Will Call' or can u email them to me?
Thanks HowiePhone!

This is what you get when you jerk me around :-*.
I am a bit burned on bodybuildin right now to be honest. Tres Bennet does a great job promoting the event , but I don't feel like making that drive. Sorry, I am going to an Atlanta Braves game saturday night now.
See ya, Howard

If I were you I'd kill myself. Were you dropped on your head as a baby? You are clearly mentally challenged. The world can't afford to take care of people like you.

Yeah, my dad threw me to my mom like a football at a young age and my Mom dropped me.
I had a steele plate fitted in my head and it had to be refit as I got older.
The special education classes really helped however and I could read , write and even count :-*
The dent and steele plate in my head ,actually saved me a few years ago when 3- 45lb plates fell on me .
I was on the floor doing some strething beside a guy doing some squats with 315. He could not make the last rep, the bar tipped and bang , bang, bang..one after another they hit my head. It rattled my brain, but the plate held fast. It made me a bit more retarded, but I am not as cockeyed now...go figure ;)
I can't kill myself because my ex wife/gf would get my life Insurnace and I really want to leave everything to my 2 dogs. If i every get a smart canine lawyer , I can "check out" knowing my dogs will be provided for :-\
