Random ramblings

I benched 165 tonight. Whoo! I guess Men's Health is not full of ish after all, the subscription is finally paying off. My stretch goal was to hit 180 this year...but damn I'm still not gaining any weight! I keep getting stronger, but just not putting on any mass; hell I'm getting leaner. Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of working out? I mean, when a girl checks you out, it's all about size right? It's not like she can tell visually, "Oh gosh, he's so strong". Instead, she'll be like, "Oh gosh, he's so big". Size, definitely matters.

Did anyone catch the live West Wing debate this week? Wow that was pretty awesome. If only we could have candidates capable of carrying on debates w/ real content like that, instead of platitudes and soundbites. W probably needed Karl to pause the DVR and explain everything to him anyways. I have to say, Allan Alda was really convincing as a Republican. I thought he argued the free market philosophy really well, and the entrepreneur in me tend to agree. Even though I'm definitely liberal and won't vote Republican because of their social agenda, I have to say when spun well, their policies can certainly sound convincing to the laymen.

Work fucking blew today. It's one of those days that makes you understand why competitors like Google and Yahoo can totally run around and kick our ass . There are more endemic problems than "they release faster" or "they are media darlings now". No, the way our management thinks confounds me sometimes. I suppose it's a lesson in corporate life; I hope to remember this if I become CEO someday.
