Hey fat people are allowed to make fun of other fat people. It's only rude when some tightass body dude makes fun of fat people that it's rude. That's why black people are allowed to call each other the "N" word and it's not offensive. Why it's acceptable for a Polish person to tell Polish Jokes and so on. In short when your part of the club you get to bust on the club. My observation anyway. I also make fun of myself much more then others, you know that. You should also know I mean no offense.

Posted by: shortstuff

LOL Been a while since you got some

YOU SEEM A BIT "PENT UP"

Posted by: shortstuff

Posted by: Jenny

I've seen about ONE serious post in here

Get to work fire

Posted by: firestorm

Ironic you said that Jenny, I was just deleting all my whore posts. (look above). Notice I left the one about fat people. I left it for a reason.
Now that I've FINALLY posted my STATS, YOU CAN SEE WHY I CAN MAKE FUN OF FAT FUQING PEOPLE. BECAUSE I AM ONE!!!!!!!!!! (YES I'M YELLING) I'm soo damn DISGUSTED right now you have no
I FUQING DEA. I was kidding a bit earlier about being out of shape BUT JESUS CHRIST I SWEAR I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS THIS FUQING BAD OFF. WHOS BRIGHT IDEA WAS HAVING TO POST STATS ANYWAY??? Oh man, I really can't believe the measurement around my stomach was 40!!!!! 4 fuqing 0 !!!!! I'm still wearing 34' waist pants for Christs' sakes. So my hips are 34 and right above my pant line I'm a fat bastard. And the rest of those measurements oh I want to puke right now I swear to God. I can't remember the last time I was this upset. I've never been a much of a tape measure guy and did not get off on measuring my arms and stuff but I do know that the "last" time I measured my arms and that was on a request by someone, they were over 18" Yes I'm rambling cause I want to get this all out in one post. I don't want this journal FAT too!!! THIGHS 24"!!!!!!! Oh God this is BAD. I think I need to get off this computer right now I'm soo upset, and humiliated and embarassed. I'm also removing that FUQING AVITAR PIC TOO. I don't deserve to have that up there. That is NOT ME. That WAS me.
I'm sorry for whomever reads this but I have to get this out now so I can get over feeling sorry for my BIG FAT ASS and get busy fixing EVERY FUQING THING! Christ this reminds me of my old steroid days after I gave them up for life. I took every huge ripped and bad to the bone pic of me and shreaded them. I feel just like that right now. Oh well I suppose I'm done for now. I gotta go cry so I can move on to the 2nd phase of depression, Anger. then to phase 3 recovery. Then phase 4 kick ass take no prisoners phase. Hope that happens by tomorrow.

PS. Please don't waist posts in here trying to console or make me feel better. I don't need pep talks. What I need only I can give to me. That is how I work best. Alone. Thanks anyway but keep the pitty party, I'm not attending. (think I'm already on the anger phase).
********************
Edit: adding to this post from earlier:

I just remembered I have to post pictures!!!! This really sucks. I'm suddenly NOT liking this contest at all. This is going to be way to humiliating if not only to myself. Knowing the callibur of people here you'll lie and say oh you don't look so bad and shit but I know better. Numbers on a tape measure don't lie. I swear I'm going through some sort of shock and disbelief right now.

Posted by: firestorm

ok I'm seriously considering altering my goals for this contest. I'm thinking to screw heavy training what so ever and just work on weight reduction. Shit loads of dieting, even more shit loads of cardio, weight training not concerning myself with getting bigger for awhile. then maybe some heavy liposuction with my Hoover. What do you guys/gals think.

Posted by: TheGreatSatan

That Hoover might just give you a Polish hickey. Try a Kirby.

Posted by: firestorm

hey not funny plus your not supposed to be joking in the journals anymore.

Posted by: J'Bo

fire.
we are all in the same boat hun and i felt the same way as you a couple of weeks ago. I relaized that NOTHING i had in my closet fit me anymore. I ended up crying and putting my jammys on and going back to bed for the day. We all have to love ourselves no matter what form we come in. If we have let ourselves go then we have to just pick ourselves up and get back to it. Habits are hard to break, but its all attainable and you will get there with the rest of us. When you say "fat people" it drives me nuts because thats not who they are as a person its just who they have come through bad habits and not taking care of their inner bodies and mind first. So hun pm me your diet and training and lets get you going

Fire the way you were talking I was expecting a lot worse. You still look big and your back is wide as heck.

Posted by: J'Bo

k i have to say something here hun.
you need to talk to someone about your problem with thinking your fat.

i geuss you are suffering the same sydrome as many people here, me included.
you are leaner than 90% of the population and look AMAZING.
pm me and we can figure this out.

Posted by: Leslie

Fat??!! Hardly.

You look great. Just need some finishing touches. And as JBO said, you look better than most of the population. Don;t be so hard on yourself

Posted by: butterfly

I totally agree with J'Bo and Leslie!

Posted by: rock4832

What the hell Fire? If your fat then what does that make me? Half-kidding, mostly serious! You look great, I'd give quite a bit to look as good as your pics! Remember, it's all relative though. I say still train heavy till around Jan or Feb and then cut, I don't think you'll hurt at all doing that!

Posted by: Rissole

Fat arse

Posted by: Rissole

Not really mate

You should come back to your old shape in no time. You could'a at least friken smiled.....

Jen your a friend and I wouldn't have expected you to have responded any other way. Your true class and a good friend but dear,,,,, I may have seemed to overaccentuate my thinetically challenged physic BUT...tape measurements do NOT lie or exaggerate. With those measurements I've posted I honestly swear I did not over estimate my delemma. Maybe you feel I carry obesitey well. I never thought of John Candy as thinetically challenged either, I always thought of him as an excellent commedian. Get my drift? Love ya.

OK guys ya see your looking at a picture or 2 and commenting on what you see now. Your comparing me to others. I compare to only myself and what I have been, what I should be and what I know I can be again. What I see is something entirely different then I'm used to seeing. Don't you remember my lovely "red and black zebra" short cammo pics guys? Does that look like the same person? Or even the mountain bike pics. Even in the mountain bike pics, I wasn't as muscular but my waist was around 32 or 33 and that was one year ago August. I've gone totally downhill since last winters injury and I'm a bid down about it but in no way am I a quitter. This is my way of dealing. I'll lambaste myself, call myself names, put myself down and then kick my ass back into shape and bring myself back up. That's the way the military works and what I'm used to. They break you down then build you up.
When I say,, if anyone on here says yea Fire you look like shit, that doesn't hurt my feelings. That is fuel for my fire and responses that I welcome.

You hit the nail on the head when you used the word "relative" Rock. That is exactly right. How I look when compared to what I'm used to is below par. Sure I look like Mr. Olymplia standing next to Jarrod from Subways before picture but I not comparing to him or anyone other then myself. You put things in perspective very nicely Rock and thanks for the Advice. Jan-Feb?

Well we think pretty similar. I was looking at 1st week of March. My goal is to put on as much lean muscle as possible in that time without adding more bodyfat. Now since my goals are more weight lose, and a fitter look, the muscle mass will not be dramatic since my diet has to stay pretty strict.

True I could'a smiled Riss my friend but I was very uncomforable taking those photos. I'm a bit insecure right now. You know, I did not allow my wife or kids to take one photo of me taken this entire summer with my shirt off or at the beach. In fact, every summer up until this one I'd always do the yard work shirtless. this year I always had on at least a tank top. And it was Freeken hot let me tell ya. Now that is insecurity at it's finest. hahahaha

Friday was 1st full blown leg day on the come back trail and oh my God am I paying for it. Two days later and walking, sitting is agony. Last week was 1st leg workout and I only did 3 sets of inverted Leg presses with 300 and reps in the 10 - 8 range. Was getting very light headed to the point I almost passed out every time I stood up so called it quits.
This week was a different story. Still not a full blown leg day but for only the second workout it was more then enough expecially after what I'm still feeling tonight.
Squats
1 x 20 x 135
1 x 12 x 185
1 x 10 x 205
1 x 10 x 205

Presses
1 x 10 x 350
1 x 10 x 350
1 x 10 x 350

quads cramping so that was it. (No extensions)

1 x 10 x 70
1 x 08 x 70

Standing Calf raises
1 x 20 x 135

1 x 12 x 185

** this post was edited. the poundages were incorrect in several areas but it was pretty close. I normally put these workouts in at work and go by memory. I'm home and fixed errors.

Posted by: BabsieGirl

I'll delete this in the morning. I just wanted to say you look great. I love your legs. You're going to do well Fire.....there...could say more but...this is your thread and I respect your wishes. Again, I'll delete this in the a.m.

See ya.

Posted by: firestorm

Babsie,, I'm not a journal weenie, you can leave it expecially since it was a compliment. hahahaha Seriously though Babsie,, you love my leges? don't you think they are somewhat behind my upper body? I think they look really skinny expecially my calves. I've been hitting them pretty darn hard as of late. I made legs/calves my 1st priority. Do you think that is a mistake?
P.S. Thank you for your supportive and complimentary post. Very appreciated.

*******************
This will be out of order when I post my last few workouts tomorrow. I forgot to bring them in to copy over to here. But this was todays workout. Yesterdays and a few others to follow tomorrow night.

Reps are still off. Need to dial in a lower rep range on POWER day. Damn I should have gone heavier but every set felt like it was going to be my last today. I was really hurting.

Biceps were OUT today. They were totally shot from the back/shoulder workout the day earlier. I could barely straighten my arms all day.

NOTES: 1) This was my 1st shoulder and trap workout in MONTHS. (My right shoulder injury has been feeling pretty good so I figured it was time to really start hitting shoulders again.
2) Weights were not very heavy but I was really concentrating on perfect form and extra long pause and squeeze reps. They make the excercises much more difficult.

Posted by: rock4832

Looking good Fire! The Shrugs, do you do them with db or bar?

Posted by: firestorm

Yea I wish I had 185 lb dumbells. In the case above, I used straight bar. I do alternate with D/b's though. usually every other workout or every 3rd workout I'll use D/Bs instead. (DB's by the way,,, I do one side at a time. I'll hold onto the DB rack with my free hand) I seem to get a little bit more range of motion as well as giving each trap a little more isolation and attention.

Posted by: rock4832

Hey, I never know about the weights with everybody here, wouldn't surprise me to see you shrugging 200 lb db's

I'll have to try that one at a time, I always feel the left gets good ROM and the right doesn't. Thanks

Posted by: firestorm

The close grip pullups were also very difficult because biceps also were giving out).

Posted by: firestorm

Well I'm happy about one thing anyway, I took a new measurement around the big ole' gut and I'm seeing some reduction.
I measured 39 1/2 on day one and today I measured in ever so slightly under 38 inches. down 1 1/2 inches so I'm pretty happy with that expecially since I'm not taking any weight loss suppliments. If only I had some of that CLEN stuff from VPX that I've heard so much about!!!!

Posted by: firestorm

Now the BAD news. I'm not sure I'll be posting on IM.COM for awhile due to some personnel conflicts and hard feeling with certain individuals here. I need to step back for awhile because I just don't need that type of aggrivation. I don't come here to get into debates and arguments with people over petty bullshit so I'm just going to hang over at a Mountain bike site for awhile. I'll miss just about everyone here and I'll pop in from time to time to read your journals and maybe throw in a post or two in here. Take care everyone and I'll be back at you by the time this contest draws to a close. Good luck to everybody and take care.

Congrats fire! That's excellent progress...obviously what you are doing is paying off. Sorry to hear that we won't be hearing from you as often because your input is always lighthearted and valuable.

Posted by: firestorm

Hey guys I had a bad week and certain things just set me off. I'll be in and out of your journals and in here but that is the extent of it for a little while. It's me honestly. I shouldn't let someone that is just expressing negative feelings towards something I said get me so crazy but I just need a cooling off period and wait for that crap to blow over. Thanks for your words Pony and J'Bo, stop yelling at me!!! lol

Posted by: J'Bo

Ya I know weight looks light here but you don't know my pully system. It isn't the smoothest thing around.

NOTES: All reps sets performed with zero cheating. All reps were slow and deliberate and pause/squeeze at the top of each one. Slow negative returns. I felt fantastic after the routine. Not many sets but totally fried afterwards. I have to ask GoPro if I'm allowed to add one or two more sets.

Posted by: maniclion

Fire, are you sure you want to start 1-T now? I'd give your joints and ligaments time to adjust to the weights before taking it.

Posted by: firestorm

Ya think Maniclion? Have you ever taken 1T? Is it THAT good? I remember when I started anabolics many moons ago that the ligaments could not keep up with the muscle strength and I had some problems for a period. Do you think the muscles will react in such a way with this 1T?

I've taken PH's before and yes my strength did surpass my joints even after I'd been lifting for a while. Remember we just started a few weeks ago our bodies still need to adjust. I was planning on using an Anabolic supplement in Nov. to allow myself time to build up my ligs and tendons. I'd ask around for other opinions.

Posted by: firestorm

Thanks Man,,, I just sent Gopro a PM on the subject actually. thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Posted by: maniclion

I know you're anxious to get bigger, but could you afford another 6 month setback? Look at me I sprained my knee and haven't done legs in 3 weeks because I'm paranoid. Don' rush it, it will come in due time. Just visualize next spring with your ripped muscles glistening with sweat as you take your final comp pic. Let me know what GP says.

Posted by: firestorm

Man I hear what your saying Man. I'll let you know what GP says for sure.

Posted by: rock4832

I agree with Maniclon Fire. I started 1-ad by ergopharm a couple of weeks ago and all my lifts went up quite a bit (nothing to compare with you guys but for me a huge improvement). But since the lifts went up my elbows and forearms are killing me. I have trouble pushing or doing triceps now and I haven't been able to do biceps for awhile now!

Posted by: firestorm

Yep those are the same symptoms I remember quite clearly. Pushing a bar with your hands and when you release the bar pain would shoot up through your forearms.

MONDAY 10/13/03 (SHOCK) Time: I forgot to keep track

I'm not sure I'll be doing Incline Barbells in the future. they really bother the shoulder I injured.
(Even with 135 warmup I was feeling sharp pains inside the upper shoulder around the medial deltoid. I keep a pretty low Incline also so I wasn't too high.)
I may have to stick with Dumbells on that.

CHEST
Incline Barbell Bench supersetting with Incline Flies
1 x 12 x 135 (ss) 1 x 12 x 40 (1 1/2 min breaks)
1 x 10 x 185 (ss) 1 x 12 x 45

Barbell Bench Press Drop sets

1 x 08 x 205 1 minute breaks
1 x 08 x 195
1 s 07 x 185

NOTES: This was a pitiful day for me. I mean feeling REALLY run down and almost didn't train at all. I worked out directly after dinner which didn't help but I really had to push myself to even go down those stairs.
I was really weak. doing the drop sets for example I miscaluculated the weight and put less on that I thought. the weight almost flew out of my hand when I took it off the rack. reps started off great but arms died almost suddently as I approaced rep 6. Just horrible today although I did have a really good pump going on afterward. If I'm not sore tomorrow I'll know today was a waste.

Posted by: maniclion

Yea, the barbell limits your movement, I'd stick with DB inclines if I were you, better squeeze ability too.

Posted by: firestorm

I know but I'm limitied with dumbells I only have up to 110's

Posted by: maniclion

I have to get more weights soon too. Although the OVT workout will buy me some time to save up for them since I use lighter weight. Oh well that's the price we pay for getting stronger.

WEDNESAY 10/29/03 (POWER) Time:30 Mins.

SHOULDERS

D/B Military Press

1 x 10 x 65 (warm up)
1 x 06 x 75
1 x 05 x 85 (F) Going for 6
1 x 03 x 85 (F) (was going for 4-6 reps)
1 x 06 x 80 (F)

Side Laterals
1 x 08 x 35
1 x 06 x 40 (F) left shoulder aching after set.
1 x 08 x 40 (F) Shoulders really hurting at this point

Rear Laterals

1 x 10 x 45
1 x 08 x 50 (F)

Barbell Shrugs

1 x 08 x 275
1 x 08 x 275 (F)
1 x 08 x 275 (F) All paused at top for a second or so.

The timely pauses take alot out of me on the Shrugs. If I didn't hold for over a second on each rep I could have either gone heavier or did more reps. I really liked the feeling of the pause reps though. I believe it's worth the extra weight.

Yes maaam I sure am doing a modified version though. Certain excercises I don't have the capability due to lack of equipment such as one legged curls. And I've been doing more sets then 3. 3 just doesn't seem to cut it even if I go all out. For example I'll go heavy enough that I can only get 4 reps for 3 sets but I feel that I can do more sets. that is only 36 total reps for chest. I don't feel that is enough for me. I need more. MUCH more. hahaha So far I've been having wonderful gains. I've gotten bigger and if you look at my 1st few weeks of training and compare to the last ones you will see a serious improvement.

Ouch, that is a difficult question to answer Rock. to be totally honest, I take each set one at a time. To be honest both ways. My 1st excercise for a bodypart or area such as pullups, I'll go 1st set with no weight and NOT to failure. then the following sets I go till I can't do anymore. To make it real simple,

*****ROCK:I've EDITED my LAST TWO WORKOUTS and put an F for failure and Notes. All I know is that whatever I'm doing, it's totally working for me. My poundages and size have come up pretty damn good over the past several weeks. I'm really happy about my progress to date. I measured my arms the other day and they were a little over 17 cold so I'm coming along really well.

Well I just put those F's and notes in there for you my friend. They were'nt there until you asked your question. lol

My shoulder scares me. I have good days and bad. I'm afraid to do my next chest workout with a straight bar. It seems to stress the shoulder girdle and cause pain during a set. I may be forced to stay with dumbells on flats and inclines which pisses me off cause I only have dumbells up to 110s.

Posted by: rock4832

Man, I wish I could lift 110 lbs, much less not be happy with that weight because it's too light!!

Have you tried different grips on the bar? When I was having shoulder problems, I found a wider grip did not hurt my shoulders too much.

Posted by: firestorm

Oh of course I have rock it's unbelievable. close grip medium grip close/medium grip, wide, medium wide it just doesn't matter. FUQ. As soon as I put 225 or more on the bar I feel it. The heavier I go the sharper the pain is. REally suks to be me. Oh and don't get me wrong the 110's are ok right now but I feel that in a few weeks I may outgrow them on flats and inclines. I'm getting good clean 6's with them now so I'll just cut one of the lighter sets and do an extra with 110s then I'll be forced to just raise the reps when I can do 4 sets of 6 or more. Xmas is coming. Time to ask for 120s I suppose.

Thank you ladies for the kind words. I appreciate it girls. I'll tell you I had a fantastic chest day today and can't wait to post it. I hit 275 on flat bench barbell bench and 255 on incline barbell bench which was impossible a few weeks ago. I was struggling with 225 on flats. Most of my problems were related to my shoulder but today I just did several sets with just the bar and really light weights to loosen it up and it worked. I'm real happy if you can't tell.

When you do your DB curls fire, do you do them alternately or at the same time? Looks like your putting up some good weight for all your lifts, way to go man! I envy you.

Posted by: firestorm

Rock I do the incline DB curls at the same time. I do normal seated or standing Alternate DB curls though. Hope that answers your question my friend.

Hey NT, J'Bo is right,,,, no way I'd bring my wife. She doesn't appreciate bodybuilding, or any activitiy that makes you perspire.

Don't you just love my questions man?

Are you doing full Deads or racked?

Posted by: firestorm

FULL DEADLIFTS ROCK ALWAYS FULL. I've never done a rack deadlift nor shal I start. I will never give up the full range of motion on any excercise besides, if GoPro included full Deads somewhere in the workout then maybe I'd do the rack type somewhere but since I'm only doing them every other workout or so, I do full.
PS, I don't mind your questions what so ever, keep asking and I'll keep answering my friend.
( I believe GP put the Rack Deads in there for beginners but I'm not sure)

Posted by: rock4832

Do you believe the Full's work the back more or do you like including legs? Just wondering because I don't mind keeping legs out if my back is getting the full benefit from racked, but if not I want it all!!

Posted by: firestorm

I feel back is encorporated more by going all the way down without a doubt. I've done the rack deads but I get much more out of the fulls without a doubt.
Best thing to do my man is do an exact deadlift routine 2 weeks in a row using the exact same reps and exact same weight and sets. then compare the how you feel the next day.

Posted by: rock4832

I'll try that Fire. I used to do full until I started GoPro's w/o. Then I switched to Rack, definately alot easier. I just finished Deads for Power, so I go light on fulls for the next two weeks and catch up again with power.

Posted by: Rissole

We'll belive it when we see it....

Posted by: firestorm

Ris, you took the words right out of my mouth. Tuesdays suck for me too but I'll do my very best to get in there and then post.

Posted by: Rissole

Dont worry mate... i know exactly what it's like!!

Posted by: firestorm

You do? I wouldn't have guessed looking at your Journal Riss. Your doing great and staying strong. Good job brother.

Posted by: J'Bo

Well did you read rissy's confession of 1 1/2 pizzas and 6 beers and 1/4 lemon meringue pie? well i think that you two can help eachother...one with the diet and one with the training.

Posted by: rock4832

Nothing wrong with a cheat! As long as he's not eating that everyday!

Posted by: firestorm

this was written...SIX days ago, sport....where the fuq are your workouts?

Posted by: firestorm

To be honest Burner the ones that I've done in that time really haven't changed much. Weights have stayed pretty much the same as well as workouts. Simply put a simple cut and past of the last few workouts and just changing the dates would be all that I really need to do. I just didn't feel like being redundant and waisting my time just duplicating them to almost exact workouts. I figured I'd wait a week and hopefully have some workouts that show some progress.

Posted by: firestorm

Finally a workout for the Journal
MONDAY 12/01/03 (Little POWER and REP RANGE) TIME: 30 Mins.

CHEST:
Flat Dumbell Bench Press
1 x 10 x 95
1 x 08 x 100
1 x 08 x 110
1 x 06 x 110

Incline Dumbell Bench Press
1 x 08 x 100
1 x 06 x 100
1 x 04 x 100

Weighted Dips
1 x 10 x 45
1 x 10 x 45
1 x 10 x 45

Incline D/B Flye
1 x 12 x 45
1 x 12 x 55

NOTES: As some are aware, I've been having some problems lately concerning my lower back, neck and severe Headaches for almost a week now. I think missing back and shoulders a few times has hurt me. Today my shoulder was very tender and sensative and at times painful during the chest workout. Going deep with the DB's hurt like hell. I think I lost some reps today due to this. I was almost performing negatives on every rep so not to re-injure the shoulder.

Hi J!!!! Shoulder is really sore right now.

. this really sucks getting old. everything just breaks down. If its not my back its my neck and headaches. if not that its my shoulder, if not that ITS ALL FREEKEN 3 which is pure HELL. No real gossip Jen, Haven't been on here much but I'm glad I see you are here.

Posted by: Randy

Well if it makes you feel anybetter FS I've been down for a week now with the flu/cold going around... I've already missed like 3 days of working out...sucks. Last night I was up all night coughing like a 5 pack a day smoker all night....>blah... sucks bigtime.

Posted by: firestorm

Randy my friend, why would I feel any better knowing your down! I wish only the best for the people on here EVEN YOU ya little shit! hahahahaha Seriously I'm sorry to hear your feeling so Ill. I suppose I'm lucky in that area. I rarely get colds or flus. I hope you feel better soon buddy.

Posted by: Randy

Thanks for the warm words of sympothy FS

I hope you feel better soon as well.

What makes matters worse here in California is the ugly rain front has come in. Unfortunately that doesn't give ya a very optomistic feeling

It's like a dark halo hanging over my head. Oh well, things will get better.

Posted by: rock4832

Sorry to hear about your shouler, neck etc... I know how that sucks! And your always worried it won't get better or as soon as it does you'll hurt it again! Just take it easy and you might want to lay off Power for awhile, do higher reps to get your body assimilated to the weights again! We're here for you!

I meant gossip with you babe..not on here

Take care of yourself.

Posted by: Burner02

damn, FS! Your strength is going back up!
sorry about teh soreness though...

Hey Randy..I have had the same cold you have. THe other day, my chest was sore conjested, I could not breathe. I had to stand in the hot shower for 30 mintes to steam it open, I even lost my voice...
Now I am down to just the annoying sniffles and such...

Posted by: Randy

It was the terrible cough that got me the worst on this one.
I had the kind where you get that continous tickle in your throat and you can't stop coughing even with medicine....Really sucks big time. Then you start coughing so much that your head hurts.
And other times you think your going to throw your back out

.
Hopefully yours doesn't turn into that.

Posted by: Burner02

been there, done that. Ever dont that while in a movie theater? THAT sux! You try to not cough....your eyes start to water, it is a whole new meaning to "THIS FUQQIN SUX!"
I coughed while squatting today...that wasn't fun..

Posted by: J'Bo

another girl..who was..cute..had a little belly. (not tight, and a little convex shaped?) and not very proportionate on top. (this IS a beauty pageant)

The guy they were following..looked pretty good. not huge like heavyweight, but pretty big.
Damn, I looked up at the wrong time...he had his dad..shaving his ass..for the show..now, that's love...
