Desire old fashion lifestyle other than lifting and getbig

[calfzilla]

The way the world is headed I am sickened by most modern things. Here is what I desire for myself:

-continue to go to the gym and post on getbig.
- limit internet (aside from getbig) and cut out TV. Well I pretty much have cut out TV so continue with that.
-move to a rural or semi rural house. Prefer a cabin, small farmhouse or chalet.
-grow many of my own vegetables. Cook nightly from scratch and cook over open flame using cast iron skillet and Dutch oven.
-limit buying of new technologies. Use old tools and technologies that are superior.


    Do any getbiggers have similar aspirations?

I think you should add in baking lawn clippings in a 350 degree oven.

Maybe not as far back as you mentioned but like to go back to the days before smart phones and everyone having mobile phones and all this technology shit and where the Internet was 56k and only a few people had it and websites were very basic and porn wasn't so readily available that the excitement of acquiring a new porn vhs has been ruined. I don't like that every device from the tv to the fish tank can connect to the Internet. fondly remember the days before all this shit

My older brother doesn't watch much TV except for the SF Giants during baseball season.  He is vegan (but not an asshat about it) and grows nearly all his own food.  He has a workshop out back of his home and is relatively handy.  Me?  I hate TV.  HATE it.  I like some technology and despise others.

Cell phones and their owners sicken me.  I refuse to walk around with my face in a phone.  My personal cell is an old flip pone but my work one is an android and I refuse to use it for anything other than work.

My younger brother aspires to retire to a cabin or even a double-wide on a lot of property in Arizona.   He and his wife have a nice home now but don't much care for a lot of what passes for "good" these days.  They don't have cable or a SAT dish but instead an antenna.  He has literally thousands of songs on his computer but still buys CDs and they both favor Country music and by that I mean real Country, not that "Hick-Hop" crap.

I don't mind all the technology, unfortunately, what came along with all the technology was shitty things like FB, Instragram, Twitter, Tumblr, etc. So, its not really technology perse that is shit. I think the internet is an extremely useful tool for a variety of things.

The internet turns to shit when every single person feels the need to advertise their life on social media. Shit started to go downhill with the advent of social media sites. Before that, it was just standard AOL and Yahoo chatrooms.

Trust me, after all this technology, 99.9% of getbiggers would not survive trying to live "old school." Getbiggers have difficulty making it to the gym, let alone doing anything that involves actual hard work (building, planting, etc.).

BS, you can. Ditching the TV was a great move.

That's prob because your parents did the same, so it's just a conditioned habit. See it as a challenge to turn that noise off, and observe what happens inside you. Prob resistance in the beginning, followed by more inner rest and a better focus...

I don't have a TV since '94, so only when I visit someone who's watching, like women who love those crappy soaps.

There is a lot of self-loathing and vacillation in this thread.

Welcome to my world!

I am somewhat surprised to say that I am considering the purchase of a turntable.  I only have a few records (somewhere here!) and while I cannot say that I enjoy vinyl as much as some I think I might like it on the rare occasion I am feeling somewhat Luddite-ish.   Nah.  I think turntables are cool but the hipster trend could turn me off one.

That and the price of records.  I looked at the Crosleys and find them cool looking but inadequate for my needs as well as (I hate to admit it) my ego, LOL!  I would prefer an automatic player but not a changer as I have never thought having to get up to turn off the player was fun.

My Onkyo turntable was accidentally crushed many years ago.  It was totally automatic.  Dammit.
