Noxsoma Life Camp Day 317
Gaining More With Less?
Salutation Cosmic Constituents.
Another lovely day on the southern end of the American peninsula. You know, the one that forms the Gulf of America. (We will address this in tomorrow's FMO Episode (#IYKYK)). We went back inside to train today. We arrived in at the sweet spot, (low traffic), saw a lot of peeps we hadn't seen in a while, exchanged exercise ideas and cordialities and got in and out in the 90-100 (closer to 90) minutes we allow our self. This brings up the question, "Can we really make more gains, with less time and stations in the gym?" We'll see. The link to today's training is below.
Here's the link to today's longevity training:
One of the teens, (literally these guys are teenagers) in the gym was talking about two finger pull ups. I had to try it. No go. I can hang, but pull ups aren't happening... yet! Remember what I said about challenges? Well I got one. Anyway, another guy was talking about one finger push-ups. I told him I was still working on one finger speed dial.
Guess what.
He didn't get it! That joke is as obsolete as speed dial. (Maybe you don't get it either.) That's what I call a double-funny. I think the one-liner was funny, but I also think it was funny that dude didn't get it. And why he didn't get it. A triple-funny. The joke might be on me, but I still think it's funny.
The Neighbors Are Starting to Ask Questions
A neighbor in one of the near by apartments asked me if I was recording about life for Youtube. He asked me in Spanish. I understood, "You tube". He switched to English. He's usually talking on his phone of having a smoke outside when I pass by. Today we chatted. It's been a chatty day. Many brief, but cordial chats in the gym. Today was an energetic day. This alignment stuff is really working. I'm a fan!
Weight Lifting is Why You're Not Making Gains!
Weights are obsolete said the ad, and they posted this image to "prove it." Is this AI? I can't really tell. You see they've cropped the hands out of the frame. Speaking of hands... as an aside - does anybody see their hands in their dreams? Presuming you even dream. Anyway, THEY might be able to convince a bunch of soy-eating estrogen infused fem-man-in type Zoomers of this, but you'll never convince yours truly. Not only has your humble quasi-bodybuilder spent over 30 years lifting weights, and making gains, but We've also spent a significant amount of time as a fitness trainer. And the last - damn - almost four years, watching these high school kids make impressive gains by lifting weights.
I don't even know what this product was, but we "had" to react. Maybe it's one of these trick products. Like, resistance, but not classic dumbbells & barbells. I was thinking it might be body-weight training, but there's no product for that, unless they've come up with the home calisthenics bars install. Anyway, before I get triggered, let's see what else I can get irate about.
Military Philosophy
"Opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one and they all stink."
Every year, California burns. Even last century. Yes, "wild fires" ravaged Southern California even before 9/11. Fueled by the Santa Ana winds, and back then, blamed on careless campers who didn't douse their campfires properly. This is why Smokey the Bear was created. "Only YOU can prevent forest fires."
So what changed?
9/11 happened. The "Attacks on America" produced the Truther Industrial Complex and took to social media to investigate the inconsistencies of the official government fantasy. Then the world wide web got a boost. Humans could post videos! You Tube exploded.
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day, (once if it's European). Truthers were joined by whiste-blowers and the rest is the present we're living in now.
I don't know what started the fires in California. But I know that opinions are like... well you know. Everyone has the constitutional right to express their opinions, even if they stink!
We, the Trinity find amusing what comes forth from humans that don't know, but think they know why California is burning. For example, some humans believe that this is the wrath of God punishing the Pedo-wood-philes, while others blame Global Climate change/warming/cooling... whatever, corporate greed and not driving enough electric vehicles. Still others blame negligent forest husbandry, directed energy weapons (that's a popular one), government conspiracy to grab land to build a ghost train, and although I haven't seen this one yet... it might be an alien attack. It could also be Hell rising to the Earth. Could be arson, although I doubt it.
These eyes could not assess the damage if they were right in the middle of it, let alone from images. When I check on my peeps my main concern is for their safety and not whether or not they know that Uncle Joe has targeted them with hellfire from space.
My news feed, I'm somewhat embarrassed to say, is very prone to conspiracy theories and fake news. (From all sides.) Humanity has very successfully been divided, I should say sub-divided, by identity. Identity determines where your information comes from, and consequently what you believe and toss out into your echo chamber. Heaven help anyone who doesn't echo those stinkin' opinions.
The wrath of the social media monarchy will precipitate upon you like a tsunami... of silence.
Anyway... that's the day. Lovely as it was. Much love peeps. It's Serenity Year.
Today wouldn't be complete if We didn't promote our Substack healing back room series Noxsoma Life Camp, (noxsoma.substack.com). New episode out tomorrow. Check it out. It's just getting started so you haven't missed much. It will be easy to catch up. Saturday I'll share with subscribers a chronic ailment I've been battling for a very long time. We put today's Full Metal Ox Episode "Liphe Iz Gudt" out for public consumption. Enjoy. Feel free to comment.
Goodnight night & Good vibes.
