Back in Black

[gobbles23]

I was forced to help create his character since I have better judgment on what a guy should look like lol. I need to start my own game on it but I swore not to until I finish Dragon Age and the new expansion.

Wow, what metal do I listen to? Hehehe, anything from Slayer, Seplutura, Nothingface, Static-X, Lamb of god, FFDP, Metallica, Megadeth, Nightwish (I know not metal,metal, but Tarja has a beautiful voice) Opeth, Tarot, All That Remains, In This Moment, Pantera, Sevendust, Rammstein, Hatebreed, Coal Chamber, Devil Driver, Disturbed, Drain STH, Fear Factory, Killswitch Engage, Black Sabbath and Ozzy, White Zombie theres a lot more but I can't think of them. I also like some of the stuff my husband did when he was in a death metal band a few years ago. What do you listen too?

Hey! If you started a new game, and I did too so I could have a cooler character (I want to make Gohan) Then we could go onlie and do quests together!!! That would be fun! I listen to a lot of melodic death. I LOVE Kalmah, Wintersun, Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Children of Bodom, Ensiferum, Norther, and Nothnegal is awesome too! They don't have a cd out yet, but they have a single out that is awesome!!! Wanna listen??? It will give you an idea of what I love if you never heard of any of those bands!!! Its at the bottom of the page... I grew up listening to most of the stuff that you listed! I used to love Disturbed, and White Zombie, Rammstein and Static-X!! I'd probably still listen to them, but my boyfriend likes heavier stuff, and I love every band that he likes, so I don't listen to them so much anymore. My boyfriend is a drummer!!! He was in a metal band too!! What instrument does your husband play??

Checked out the link and they sound awesome. I have heard most of those bands and I think might have them in iTunes. My taste is varied but sadly husband stopped listening to the real heavy stuff, so I try to keep a balance. He plays guitar, bass and a little drums, enough to keep time. He's teaching me bass which is cool.

I will create a new character soon, it would be fun to have someone to play online with since there are not that many people on the servers. A Gohan type character would be awesome, young Gohan or adult Gohan? I liked him right around the Cell saga and then he got kinda boring lol.

Edit: wait a tick I have something you might like in that regard... I need a scanner bad but this should look ok.

[gobbles23]

^^^Thats awesome!!! Super saiyan Gohan wearing Piccolo's clothes!!?? During the fight with Cell!? Because that's what character I wanted to make in White Knight Chronicles...Kid Super saiyan Gohan! Might be hard to mimic the clothes though!!! I agree, Gohan as the Great Saiya Man wasn't nearly as cool! Great job on the drawing!!!!

Yep! I did this years ago though, I haven't drawn in probably five years . I think you can get the hair down but the clothes yeah that will be hard especially if you want a higher armor rating. The Great Saiya Man was ridiculous, but it is an anime to I let it slide lol.

[brandnewday]

OMG I lovedddddd dragonball Z.. me and my brothers would watch it every single night (the old school 100x better episodes) at 6:00 during dinner! my favorite was trunks to be honest, think i had a crush on him when i was younger haha. I used to draw them all the time too.. oh the memories.


that's a really good drawing by the way

Great Saiya man was pretty hilarious though!!! Gotta love the japanese humour lol! I used to draw pictures as well, me and older my brothers and their friends were into it too, they got me into it, actually. I remember the first pic I drew was of Vegetta....I was soo proud!!!

My brother had the VHS's of the series from Nappa to Frieza when I was growing up. Me and two of my friends and my both my brothers and two of their friends had a dragon ball z marathon one summer!!! Best summer EVER!

[Echo814]

Ahh, the days where a DBZ marathon were possible. I still have to finish the GT saga Thanks again for the compliment on the drawing, I have some others to, not only DBZ, but Link from Zelda and some characters that I made when I played DnD.

I do have to say something: God of War III is a visual orgasm.

I played that demo over the weekend! I wasn't expecting it to be soo gory! lol! I ripped a guys head right off! You know, that guy whose head you carry around for light and treasure finding?? I wasn't expecting that to happen! Pretty fun game!

[Echo814]

Ah poor Helios. Oh whats awesome is they got Kevin Sorbo to do Hercules voice, I about sh!t myself when I heard him. I think with this game they thought "What have we not done and what can we do to make this gorier?" and then proceeded to drop some acid or shrooms lol. Visually though it's one of the smoothest games out there, I think they did this in blue ray like FF13. The sex scene is really interesting pushed the rating limit on this a bit .

Update on the eating plan. I have been doing pretty well with the low carb thing been averaging about 100 grams for four days then over the weekend went up to about 130 then yesterday was 153grams. I got wicked sick Saturday night and I am not sure from what. We went to a 100th anniversary party for my husbands work at a casino and had three drinks in four hours, food was a salad, WAY overdone prime rib, mashed potatoes and seriously like four green beans and a small serving of chocolate mousse.

On the way home we decided to get some fast food since we were starving, I had a Wendy's double classic and maybe six fries. About two hours later I threw everything up, it was so violent I felt my lower intestine twist in the left side of my abdomen. Bad, bad night. I think my body is to the point where I can not eat ANY fast food, which is blessing and a curse.

Today will hopefully be a return to the gym, I am getting kinda pissed about not going and if it continues I am going by myself.

This week has been kinda crappy, I had my blood test on Thursday and rewarded myself with a nice juicy grilled New York strip steak afterwads I have been kinda down lately though, I am having some issues with one of the few friends that I have and the problem is I can't get her to tell me why shes basically ignoring me

Last night I went out with my husband and some of his friends, had a couple of drinks in like four hours and ate some nachos since it was my cheat meal. When we got home I felt ok and then about 2am I got violently sick again. Me thinks I need to stop having alcohol and fast food, my body is giving me the big middle finger over this.

Next week I am going back to the gym and will start going in the afternoon after my classes. I can't rely on my husband to go with me anymore, every time he says we are going he comes up with an excuse later of why we can't. Plus I can tan and get some color on my pale ass body

[gobbles23]

That happened to me before too. I laid off the drinking for months, really because I only drink when its time to be social, so for me, thats summer and Christmas, and then the first time I drank since, I drank two beers and had snacks and then got sick later that night. A few weeks later, the same thing happened. I geuss my body didn't like it, but eventually I got used to it again. Mind you I don't drink nearly as much as I used too, usually one or two. It makes me feel nauseous now. Boooo..

[Echo814]

I am the same way, I only socially drink. Its either greasy food or alcohol, I thank with the way I have been eating neither are being tolerated very well.

How you doing, chickadee? Having a better week, I hope..

[Echo814]

The past few days I have been going over the workout program that I was following:

* Floor crunches - 1 set for 10-15 reps
* Reverse crunches - 1 set for 10-15 reps
* Oblique crunches - 1 set for 10-15 reps

Chest (4 sets):
* Bench Press (2 sets)
* Dumbbell Flyes (2 sets)

Back (4 sets):
*Lat Pulldowns (2 sets)
* Seated Cable Rows (2 sets)

Front and Side Shoulders (4 sets):
* Military or Dumbbell Press (2 sets)
* Lateral Raises (2 sets)

Arms (3 sets each):
* Barbell or Cable Curls (3 sets)
* Cable Pushdowns or Lying Tricep Extensions (3 sets)

Legs (Quads - 4 sets, Hams - 3 sets, Calves - 3 sets):
* Standing Calf Raises (3 sets)
* Leg Press or Squats (2 sets)
* Leg Extensions (2 sets)
* Seated or Lying Leg Curls (3 sets)

This is off the supersite and I am wondering if this is conducive to my goals. So far with diet I have gotten down to 132 lbs and have seven to go. My cals have been lower since I am not working out about 1400-1500 most days with low carb and two days slightly higher carb and one re-feed. I am a little worried that I may have lost muscle with the 6 lbs that I have lost. I am still active and have kept my protein levels to at least grams to body weight, so I am hoping for minimal muscle loss. I know I have said this before but tomorrow I will be back in the gym doing this plus 10 minutes of cardio to warm up.

Should I continue the full body workout or find something else? I am not sure another 7 lbs will get me to the leanness that I want. Once I am working out again I plan on upping cals back up to 1600. Does this sound like a good plan?

[Echo814]

How you doing, chickadee? Having a better week, I hope..

Week is shaping up to be better indeed . Still haven't heard from my friend, I have no idea what I may have done to piss her off but I am to the point of whatever. Weight keeps on dropping regularly which makes me happy. I think with my hormones under control it's making it a lot easier to cut this time.

I am looking forward to getting back to the gym today, I have missed working out a lot. It's the one thing that I really have outside of school, which I hate so I think this will brighten up my mood.

[gobbles23]

Your like me! Working out is how I keep my sanity. School drives me, so after doing work all morning, its nice to go take my frustration out on the weights!!!! I'm glad your having a good week !!!

[Echo814]

School is the evil and I have at least three years left But I am going for something that I like now instead of pleasing others. Pay off will be worth it once I am done.

What is your major? I don't think I asked that yet.

If your lifts are still going up and you feel like you're getting enough recovery between workouts, I'd milk the full-body thing until you can't anymore. After that, consider an upper/lower or push/pull kind of split.

As for the cals, do you know your maintenance? If 1600 puts you in a reasonable deficit, you should be fine.


Glad your week is going better. We'll be expecting a workout post later.
