The art of match making?

Busy bodies and nosy parkers everywhere have long known that the greatest achievement in meddling in other people’s affairs is match making.  This is where you, the overzealous one, is able to essentially quality control the “plus ones” in your life.  Most of us just want to see our friends happy together, but don’t actually put much thought into it other than them both being single at the same time.

Superman… shouldn’t he be fat?

Many of you are already infuriated that I have the audacity to even question Superman’s awesome rock hard body, let alone imply that he’s fat.  I’ve thought about it long and hard and this is what health magazines, television, movies and the gym has taught me:

  1. Superman eats like a normal person.
  2. Superman does not require a huge amount of caloric intake when he’s performing crazy Superman feats. He never stops for a burger when he’s travelling at the speed of light.  He can run/fly around the world without even breaking a sweat.
  3. Superman rarely, if ever, lifts something that’s actually heavy for him. And even then, it’s like an aeroplane which is travelling at 300+ miles an hour right into him.
  4. Superman never actually exercises for the sake of exercising. He does perform manual labour, I’ll grant you that.
  5. Humanoids only build muscle through resistance training. Your muscles tear and repair in order to build.
  6. In order to get larger muscles, you must continuously lift weights which are heavier for you.
  7. There comes a point that your “natural” body will no longer get any bigger, irrespective of how much weight you push, pull or lift.

Can I have a multiplier with my vote please?

voteSex, politics and religion are the three taboo topics in any office and often, social gatherings.  You have your differing views and beliefs, and when you get a passionate person onto the topic, it’s like you wish a black hole would open up and swallow you whole.  That’s right, you, not them, as inevitably, their rants (let’s call a spade a spade) will bring forth another’s rant.  It’s like a never ending cycle.  It’s just easier to remove yourself than them really.

Peyton Manning? Who?

I was new to NFL and had no clue who was whom when it came to the sport.  With a partner who is not quite obsessed, but burgeoning on it, I decided that perhaps it was time to take an interest.

So yes, I have been living under a rock, and I know nothing about the sport.  All I knew was that Tom Brady was the luckiest man on earth.  Being one of the best quarterbacks of the game and married to one of the hottest woman on earth, the envy of men all around the world.  In my mind, David Beckham has nothing on Brady.  And not being American, I was unfamiliar with how prolific the Manning boys are in American pop culture (especially in commercials).

Mannequins – skinny is out!

Adidas: Powerful. Inspirational. Achievable.

Sports stores have never been much of a favourite of mine.  It was just somewhere I would go to buy shoes.  And even then, it was neither here nor there, nor did I have any brand loyalty.

With the recent Fit is Sexy movement, the sports stores have become more and more prominent. With more choice than ever, brands are now vying for your dollar in more creative ways than ever before.
