Ironman Challenge

So I got the following email from the folks at the YMCA (the gym where I work out):

Wang YMCA is offering another exciting fitness challenge for all fitness enthusiasts! During the month of May, participants of Fitlinxx Ironman Challenge will have a whole month to complete the ironman triathlon distance: swim 2.4 miles, run 26.2 miles and bike 112 miles. All scores and results will have to be recorded using Fitlinxx exercise tracking software (if you do not have a Fitlinxx account: set-up and quick tutorial will be quick and easy). Please review attached document for official rules and regulations.

I would like to personally invite you to join this fun and exciting challenge!

I saw this on Chad Ochocinco's twitter account and had to post it. So true...

By the way, I think I have the swine flu. I feel like I'm going to die.

Limping into the playoffs...

The Red Sox are going strong heading into the playoffs. We've only lost 6 consecutive games. Good job guys. Thankfully, the Rangers sucked so much dick that we backdoored our way into the ALDS as a result of them losing. There's 4 games left in the season, so hopefully we can manage to lose 10 games in a row to end the season. Personally, I think that this is a great plan. It makes every other team think we're down and out and then BOOM! 3-game sweep of the Angels as usual. Francona is diabolical I tell you... DIABOLICAL!!!!

I hope we don't get swept...

Sometimes I crack myself up

Snippet of a chat I had with a friend a few minutes ago:

2:53 PM Friend: i just found out (college name redacted) owes me $350

me: for what

Friend: the (state name redacted) treasury collected it

i have no idea why

2:54 PM some kinda refund

back in 2004

don't even know whether it had to do with grad school or something

it would've been awesome if they said that i had $100k waiting for me

7 minutes

3:02 PM me: yeah ok

3:03 PM it was probably the "guaranteed to get laid in college" $350 down payment that u submitted prior to freshman year

Friend: hahahaha

me: typically they don't have to refund people, but your's was a special case

7 minutes

3:10 PM Friend: yea... FML

haha

3:11 PM what i should do is

take that $350

and buy myself a lay

haha

3:12 PM me: lol

This is my life...

I'm in the mood for an espresso...

Five bikini-clad baristas in Everett, Wash., face prostitution charges after police said that they served up more than just hot coffee at an espresso stand, Q13FOX.com reported.

Later in the article...

"For extra money these women would expose their entire body. If they were wearing a bikini they would either take it off or at least lower it. There were some allegations... Complaints from our citizens that they were performing whip cream shows between two women," Everett Police Sergeant Robert Goetz told Q13 FOX News.

But Bill Wheeler, the owner of the Grab-N-Go, is defending his business — explaining that the women who work at the espresso stand each sign agreements guaranteeing that they will not behave inappropriately.

Last time I checked, showing your tits and pussy, while also doing whip cream shows, was not considered "prostitution". What kind of laws do they have in Everett, Washington? I was expecting to read an article about these baristas giving road head and shit. Boy was I disappointed...

But at the same time, this is one of the best business ideas I've ever heard of. You have hot chicks in bikinis serving you espresso. I don't even drink espresso, but let me tell you something. If I lived in Everett, Washington I would be drinking espresso 5 fuckin times a day, MINIMUM.

Now the real question is, when they fuck are they gonna expand this business to the East Coast? I mean, if Sonic was able to move to Massachusetts, I'm pretty sure "Grab-N-Go" can do the same. Hey Bill Wheeler, hurry the fuck up!

Everybody get ready to fuck!!!!

In what is being called the world's largest HIV vaccine trial ever, researchers found that people who received a series of inoculations of a prime vaccine and booster vaccine were 31 percent less likely to get HIV, compared with those on a placebo.

Later in the article...

The new study was conducted in Thailand, with more than 16,000 people between ages 18 and 30 participating. They were all HIV negative at the beginning of the trial.

Apparently, researchers are getting closer to developing a vaccine to prevent HIV. Now this is what science is supposed to be used for! Now I hope they hurry the F up because I don't want to bang some gross chick, get infected with HIV, then find out the next day that they just developed a vaccine that would've prevented me from pulling a Magic Johnson. Speaking of which, does anyone find it funny that his name was "Magic Johnson"? No wonder why he scored so many chicks. They probably wanted to find out how magical his Johnson really was. Anyway, I'll keep ya'll posted on how this vaccine development progresses.

By the way, I love how they tested this in Thailand for two reasons:

• It's the STD capital of the world
• Why infect Americans when we can infect non-Americans?

Last note: I've been slacking on blogging lately because I'm starting to get burnt out trying to post every single day. My material was starting to get watered down and pretty weak, so I'm just going to blog whenever I see fit from now on, but I'm gonna bring that FIYAH for you. I'll be blogging at least once a week though, so check back regularly.

25 down, 8 more to go...

Take off the gloves! Take off the gloves!

The Sox beat the Orioles last night by a score of 3-1. Buchholz started for the Sox, and even though he wasn't as dominant as his previous few starts, he still held the lowly Orioles to 1 run over 6 innings. The bullpen took over from there. Coming into the night, the magic number was 11 to clinch a playoff berth. With the Sox win and the Texas loss, the magic number is down to 9. So for any of you who don't know what the magic number means, it means that any combination of Red Sox wins and Texas losses (totaling 9) will get the Red Sox in the playoffs. Giddy up.

By the way, tonight is the Mayweather-Marquez fight. I am a huge Mayweather fan and he looked ridiculous in yesterday's weigh-in. Marquez better be ready because Money May looks sharp!
