Sometimes I think weight lifting is the only thing keeping me sane.

[Freak Show]

When life shits in my Wheaties and I feel like it can't get any worse, yet it always does, weights are always there. No matter how bad my day is, it is GUARANTEED that lifting will make me feel better. Whatever the problem is: relationships, family, health, school, all I have to do is throw on my headphones, close my eyes, get my ass under that bar, and let my body do the rest. I turn off my mind just long enough to let the healing begin. During that hour or so, I am truly free. Free from any drama, worries, or pain. I scream, pound, and push my problems out of my head just long enough to make me realize that things will get better. When I'm done, I can take on the world. No problem is too tough for me to overcome. I only wish that feeling would last forever.

I've had a lot of shit on my mind lately. Too much.

You have put into words what I feel in my heart and soul when lifting. I have read things about the endorphines that your body releases when excercising. They are as adicting as morphine. What a bonus, huh? I feel the EXACT same way about things. If it wasn't for the gym being in my life right now, I don't know what I'd do with myself.

I'd probably be in jail or bumming around with no direction in life.

I have intercourse through the hole in the plates, I find it both invigorating and soothing, at the same time.
