but those days will be comming to an end soon for me becuase in a month or so im going to be working 40 hours a week.


Finally getting out of school?

Even those who work 40 hours a week still get in gaming time, look at Ty. He has way too much time gaming and still works a few hours a week.

Damn thats more then......oh wait that not more then i make. ok good.

2 hours a day in the gym, dude your goin slow. is it all weights or cardio too? I spend an hour a day at the gym and alternate cardio vs. weights, and split upper and lower body weights.

@TY, Im already just learning the struggles that are being self sufficent... dont push me to far along just yet.

@ Shawn, I do 2 miles on the tread mill before I start my workout. Then If its an arms day I do at least 6 different lifts that take about 15 min each. Between all that and strecthing and shooting the occasionall breeze with my friend who goes with me that takes me right up to about 2 hrs each day.

thanks shawn, but I must say if any good is comming out of this it will be the fact that ill have money for the PS3 before it even comes out. Dare I get the launch version as we've seen the the ps1 and ps2 those original versions didnt work that great.

It's the price you pay for being on top. You decide. I still have not bought a new console, I bought my PS back before rumble controllers and the analog sticks, so I am a few generations behind.
