You don’t get better on the days when you feel like going. You get better on the days when you don’t want to go, but you go anyway. If you can overcome the negative energy coming from your tired body or unmotivated mind, you will grow and become better. It won’t be the best workout you have, you won’t accomplish as much as what you usually do when you actually feel good, but that doesn’t matter. Growth is a long term game, and the crappy days are more important.

A Few Tips, Tricks And Hacks That Will Make Your Life A Whole Lot Easier

0

Treat your own time off work as if it was your second job and you are the project. Invest in your self by doing things to learn new skills, give you a sense of accomplishment, and make you happy. You work hard for someone else’s business; work just as hard to make your happiness your business

 

If something bad happens in your life, don’t let it define who you are. Don’t make it your excuse for not progressing yourself. Don’t undermine it, learn from it, understand it, and let it be apart of you without it being who you are

 

A real, effective apology has three parts: (1) Acknowledge how your action affected the person; (2) say you’re sorry; (3) describe what you’re going to do to make it right or make sure it doesn’t happen again. Don’t excuse or explain

 

Every time you are about to buy something and instead decide to save the money, transfer that exact amount to savings with a memo of what you were going to buy

Every time you are about to buy something and instead decide to save the money, transfer that exact amount to savings with a memo of what you were going to buy. 

 

While talking to anyone cross-eyed / lazy eyed / anything else that makes eye contact difficult, look at the bridge of their nose. You appear to be making eye contact with them without having to worry about making either of you uncomfortable

 

If you’ve made a mistake/screwed up already, STRONGLY fight the temptation to over-explain/ justify what happened. Own up to it, offer to make up for it, and move on.

 

If a News Headline Tells you How to Feel, it’s Not News

If an article’s title suggests how you ought to react to the content- that it’s shocking or disgusting or heartwarming or threatening- it’s not news, it’s a propaganda piece at best and clickbait at worst.

 

If you go clubbing or to concerts a lot buy yourself acoustic earplugs. They don’t muffle the sound, just get rid of the harmful frequencies. Tinnitus is something very easy to get and very hard/impossible to get rid of.

 

If you have to cancel plans with someone, immediately ask them when they are free again in the future and make replacement plans. It makes people feel like you do really care about seeing them and you appear less flaky

 

When someone is excited about something that isn’t a good idea, don’t burst their bubble right away. They won’t be open to hearing the negative. Wait til they’re in a more logical state and then ask the questions that will make them realize why it’s not a good idea

I’m talking about the INITIAL excitement, people. When they’re telling you the idea is the peak so just let that die down a bit first before pointing out the possible obstacles. And whether the idea is good or bad doesn’t matter……it’s for the people who THINK the person’s idea is bad and want to poke holes in it.

 

When someone says no to a piece of cake, don’t try to convince them saying “it’s just one piece”. It’s not just one piece. It’s a mentally lost battle that will affect the coming battles, possibly resulting in a lost war against an unhealthy lifestyle for a person actively trying to improve.

 

Don’t put your life on hold waiting for closure on something you’re struggling with. Many of life’s most difficult situations don’t have reasonable explanations

“You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could’ve, would’ve happened… or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the fuck on.” – Tupac Shakur

 

Got a friend or family in the hospital? Consider giving them cozy blankets, soft socks, open toe slippers, book/eReader reader, long phone charger, and condiments for food instead of flowers. )

 

Don’t ask a veteran if they ever killed someone. It is both the first and worst thing a veteran gets asked about 

 

When things go bad at a job, good people leave, eventually followed by people who thought they could change things but got buried because too many good people left. Those left are bad people or hostages. The good people are your canary.

 

Genuinely caring about somebody a lot, does not guarantee they care about you equally (or at all) in return. Some people will never care about you regardless of what you do or say. So don’t assume somebody appreciates you just because you do nice things for them. 

This is something that I unfortunately didn’t learn until well into adulthood – It may sound obvious when its spelled out, but when you’re in the actual situation its not always so clear. Most of my life I thought if I really cared about somebody a lot, then they must care about me to some degree in return. It always felt like that connection was so strong it had to be mutual, even if the obvious signs showed otherwise. Despite certain people treating me like dirt and rarely reciprocating, I would do everything I could to make them happy. I would go out of my way to help them, say & do nice things for them, encourage them, etc..with the assumption they’d eventually show their appreciation for me being in their lives. I’d think “how could they not care about me when I make it so obvious how much I care about them? If I just keep trying they’ll come around”. This was especially true for people who maybe showed signs they cared at some point in the past, but weren’t anymore.

What I’ve learned over the years is that a lot of times that reciprocal connection is imagined. The amount you love somebody does not always affect how much they love you back. People can and will use you and your emotions. And just because somebody may have once cared about you in the past, doesn’t mean they still do now or ever will again in the future…theres often nothing you can do to change their feelings through any good deeds or kind words.

I’m not talking about classic “nice guy” syndrome. Not the crush who friend-zoned you that you’re desperately trying to win over by being nice when there should have never been any expectation of feelings to begin with…I’m talking about people who you genuinely feel a meaningful connection with. Whether that be friends, family, or romantic partners.

I wasted a lot of time on people expecting them to suddenly start reciprocating my feelings and actions. I’d be convinced I could win people over (or back over)…including bad friends and former relationships…if I was just nice enough to them and let my feelings be known. Looking back I should have cut my loses far sooner. I should have focused more on finding people who not only cared about me, but wanted to make me happy in return.

Its important not to assume somebody appreciates you just because you love them and do good things for them.You can waste a lot of time and energy focusing on people who will never really care no matter what you do

Selected Reading Of The Day: No Country For Old Men

The deputy left Chigurh standing in the corner of the office with his hands cuffed behind him while he sat in the swivel chair and took off his hat and put his feet up and called Lamar on the mobile. 

Just walked in the door. Sheriff he had some sort of thing on him like one of them oxygen tanks for emphysema or whatever. Then he had a hose that run down the inside of his sleeve and went to one of them stun guns like they use at the slaughterhouse. Yessir. Well that’s what it looks like. You can see it when you get in. Yessir. I got it covered. Yessir. 

When he stood up out of the chair he swung the keys off his belt and opened the locked desk drawer to get the keys to the jail. He was slightly bent over when Chigurh squatted and scooted his manacled hands beneath him to the back of his knees. In the same motion he sat and rocked backward and passed the chain under his feet and then stood instantly and effortlessly. If it looked like a thing he’d practiced many times – it was. He dropped his cuffed hands over the deputy’s head and leaped into the air and slammed both knees against the back of the deputy’s neck and hauled back on the chain. 

They went to the floor. The deputy was trying to get his hands inside the chain but he could not. Chigurh lay there pulling back on the bracelets with his knees between his arms and his face averted. The deputy was flailing wildly and he’d begun to walk sideways over the floor in a circle, kicking over the wastebasket, kicking the chair across the room. He kicked shut the door and he wrapped the throw rug in a wad about them. He was gurgling and bleeding from the mouth. He was strangling on his own blood. Chigurh only hauled the harder. The nickel plated cuffs bit to the bone. The deputy’s right carotid artery burst and a jet of blood shot across the room and hit the wall and ran down it. The deputy’s legs slowed and then stopped. He lay jerking. Then he stopped moving altogether. Chigurh lay breathing quietly, holding him. When he got up he took the keys from the deputy’s belt and released himself and put the deputy’s revolver in the waistband of his trousers and went into the bathroom. 

He ran cold water over his wrists until they stopped bleeding and he tore strips from a hand towel with his teeth and wrapped his wrists and went back into the office. He sat on the desk and fastened the toweling with tape from a dispenser, studying the dead man gaping up from the floor. When he was done he got the deputy’s wallet out of his pocket and took the money and put it in the pocket of his shirt and dropped the wallet to the floor. Then he picked up his air tank and the stun gun and walked out the door and got into the deputy’s car and started the engine and backed around and pulled out and headed up the road. 

On the interstate he picked out a late model Ford sedan with a single driver and turned on the lights and hit the siren briefly. The car pulled onto the shoulder. Chigurh pulled in behind him and shut off the engine and slung the tank across his shoulder and stepped out. The man was watching him in the rearview mirror as he walked up. 

What’s the problem, officer? he said. 

Sir would you mind stepping out of the vehicle? 

The man opened the door and stepped out. What’s this about? he said. 

Would you step away from the vehicle please. 

The man stepped away from the vehicle. Chigurh could see the doubt come into his eyes at this bloodstained figure before him but it came too late. He placed his hand on the man’s head like a faith healer. The pneumatic hiss and click of the plunger sounded like a door closing. The man slid soundlessly to the ground, a round hole in his forehead from which the blood bubbled and ran down into his eyes carrying with it his slowly uncoupling world visible to see. Chigurh wiped his hand with his handkerchief. I just didn’t want you to get blood on the car, he said.

Confessions Of A Professional Bodybuilding Coach

0

DISCLAIMER: The article in no way condone or encourage the use of Anabolic/Androgenic steroids. This article is intended for educational and entertainment purposes only 

So what got you into the physique coach business and why?

I used to help people get into shape for shows as a hobby. As my reputation for getting results grew, I started to land clients from other, more established trainers. But when I got to see the crap these supposedly expert trainers were having people doing and saw what they were getting paid, I figured it was time for a career change. Anyway, I’ve been doing it full-time for about five years now.

You’ve coached guys and girls trying to break out onto the National scene for a while now. How has men’s contest preparation evolved over time?

It’s definitely become a lot more hardcore. It used to be guys wanted to know what they could do in the gym or in the kitchen to be better on stage. Now it seems the goal is to see how much gear they can shove in the pin.

So is too much focus being placed on gear?

Way too much. It’s like hard work and hard dieting has flown out the window. Guys nowadays would rather have cheat meals and take high dose T3 than just follow their diet and do the necessary cardio. Let me be straight by saying that is NOT how I approach things.

It’s not like we don’t know this, but can we assume most aspiring pros you see are taking too much?

Absolutely. You can see it plain as day in their physiques. Guys who look bloated and lack density, like an over-inflated balloon. That’s a sure sign of excessive dosages.

Would you say then that it’s a misconception that the pros are using much more than the amateurs?

Totally. Look, the pros are genetic freaks. If steroids never existed, they would still be the pros. One of the reasons that they are where they are is that they respond so much better than average person. To training, to diet…

To drugs?

Absolutely. I was coaching a top amateur who just recently got his pro card. I was shocked at how little gear we needed. For his pro debut, we ran 1200mg of Testosterone Cypionate a week, some Equipoise, and some Dianabol. We ran that for 6 weeks, and then switched the Cypionate to 900mg of Testosterone Propionate for 6 weeks. That was it. For a pro show! And that was the most gear he had ever taken in his life. I have guys walking in my door taking more stuff preparing for a novice show.

So what’s a typical pre-contest stack you would suggest for a guy competing at a Pro Qualifier?

We’d likely do a 16-week cycle. Depending on where they’re starting from, I would set Testosterone (T) at a gram per week. If they had already been taking two grams I would scale them back; if they were at 500 mg a week then I’d bump them up. But keep in mind that there are the genetic freaks that respond to next to nothing.

To the T, I’d add around 750mg of Equipoise or Deca-Durabolin a week, plus Winstrol or perhaps Trenbelone, or both. But in simple terms, the typical run is usually two injectables, one being an androgen and one an anabolic, and two orals. So T and Equipoise at the dosages mentioned plus oral Winstrol at 50-100mg a day and Anavar or Turnibol at 40-60mg a day.

I try not to push the dosages pre-contest because if you overdose, you get a level of water retention that you just can’t get rid of. That little film of water you see these days, that’s from too much shit.

Same question, but in the off-season?

Off-season you need much less. I tell my guys, in the off-season you can eat food, the most anabolic “drug” there is. A simple 8-12 week run with a good high calorie diet is plenty. Drugs aren’t nearly as important.

So I typically suggest an androgen, an anabolic, and an oral. So T, some Deca, especially if there are joint issues, and maybe some Dianabol. That’s all you need.

What about Growth Hormone?

I like GH pre-contest because it seems to enhance the effects of the other drugs. It also seems to help retain muscle fullness when calories start to drop. But I see no need for it in the off-season. If they can afford it, some guys will use it in the off-season with insulin, but my personal bias is just to save it for pre-contest situations.

What about insulin?

I consider insulin to be very case dependant. Someone with a really fast metabolism can benefit from it, but an endomorph will often just get fat.

I’ve read that some bodybuilding historians feel that insulin has ruined many physiques?

I would agree, especially when it’s been used wrong. Hell, if used wrong it can leave you diabetic or dead! I hear stories of guys taking it in the off-season with every meal. That’s beyond insane, and an express route to diabetes. But if used in the off-season post workout only, it’s not so risky. But still, that’s a very advanced approach.

To me insulin, Growth Hormone, all these drugs; each is just another tool. Everyone has different needs and different goals. So if someone is an advanced trainee and has a good shot at turning pro, then you open up the tool box a bit more. But for someone struggling at the regional level, just stick with basic, safe, simple gear…and training!

I’m the furthest thing from a drug expert, but what about IGF-1, these growth hormone peptides I’ve read about…

Fucking retarded. Waste. Of. Time. If you need to go that far then guess what, you’re competing in the wrong sport. I mean, at least steroids and GH have been used for decades in medical situations. But these designer growth drugs? Please. It’s all underground wannabe chemists farting around in their kitchen labs, trying to make money off of the poor saps out there that will try anything to get results.

The pros are using good old-fashioned Testosterone, Deca, Dianabol, insulin in the off-season, and GH pre-contest. Nothing fancy. But they’re the pros because they’re gifted, dedicated, and have been at it a long freaking time. Anybody that tells you different is either full of shit or trying to sell you garbage.

You mentioned underground lab steroids. It sounds like you’re not a fan?

I wouldn’t touch any of it with a ten-foot pole. So much is manufactured by criminal street gangs and it’s often unsanitary; how do you even know what you’re getting is even real and not WD-40 that some strung out meth-head blew his nose in?

Another problem is that it’s under-dosed. Guys are taking what looks on paper to be a lot of gear but still not seeing the results, so they assume they don’t respond to reasonable doses. But if they just took legit pharmaceuticals to begin with and trained properly, they would be fine. Back in the 80s, mega-doses were unheard of because everyone used real stuff. Now it seems guys take triple to get the same effect.

Unfortunately this has led to a kind of bragging war amongst guys, like “Oh yeah, I’m up to two grams of Test a week, what about you, bro?” I mean, just last month I consulted with a guy who was up to 8 Anadrol 50 a day. That is madness. The only reason he stopped was because he started pissing blood.

Ouch. Sounds like at least the Anadrol was real.

Maybe. But that’s hardly an acceptable side effect of a steroid cycle.

I can recall about 15 years ago that a number of big time bodybuilders died or had serious complications backstage at their competitions. I believe their deaths were attributed to diuretics, amongst other things. As a prep coach, do you care to comment on that?

That was a tragic time in bodybuilding, and just another reason why competitors need coaches. At competition time, the body is already stressed to the max from the gear, the stimulants and the diet. Throw in diuretics and guys not drinking water for days and tragedies like those can occur.

Is Lasix still the diuretic of choice?

Not for my guys. The reason it’s called Lasix is because it’s diuretic effect lasts for a full 6 hours. That’s too long in my opinion. You want something either milder or that has a shorter effect. That’s why I prefer to use potassium-sparing diuretics (Aldactone). Unfortunately, the reason diuretics started getting abused is that people would get to the show and see they’re not where they need to be and start panicking.

If you aren’t looking almost like you should on contest day a full week out, then guess what, you’re screwed. No amount of water manipulation or diuretic use is going to save you. But guys panic, take Lasix and stop drinking water completely three days out. Then they get carried off the stage like a big cramping ball. But that’s where a knowledgeable prep coach is invaluable: to keep you on track throughout the process and in some cases, save the client from themselves.

It sounds to me like the pharmaceutical side of competing can be a real Pandora’s box. What are some warning signs that my coach may be out to lunch?

First of all, is he or she making all of this too complicated? Like I said, I see stuff from coaches that makes me just shake my head. The trend among the wannabes seems to be to confuse complexity with knowledge. It’s like they try to make all of this seem like quantum physics, so people go “Jesus, I can’t figure all this out!” and hire them as a coach.

Second warning sign would the excessive dosages. The problem with over-prescribing is that it’s a snowball effect. You take too much of one drug and there’s a side effect, so you take another drug to compensate for that. But that second drug, if you take too much or for too long will likely have a set of side effects of it’s own and so on. If they just plain kept the dosages reasonable in the first place there wouldn’t be a need for so many ancillary meds.

Let’s switch genders. I can’t believe the condition some of these Figure girls get into these days. I thought it was supposed to be a softer, more feminine version of bodybuilding?

The last few years the girls have been getting bigger and harder again. But keep in mind, everything stems from how the judges are awarding placings at previous shows. A lot of Figure judges come from a bodybuilding background, so the contest placing reflects whatever the judges are looking for at the time.

What percentage of the girls competing at the higher level shows are on something?

Well all of them are on some sort of fat burning product, whether it’s legal or grey market. Next, I would say a large percentage are taking clenbuterol for at least some part of the prep, followed by prescription thyroid meds like Cytomel (T3). T3 use is really growing as of late.

What about anabolic steroid use in Figure competition?

At a National Pro Qualifier, I’d say 25-40% of the girls are on something like Anavar. I’ve heard some reports of Figure girls taking Equipoise, even Testosterone propionate but I’ve never seen that first hand. But there are a lot of girls on stage taking Anavar. Some Winstrol, too.

A woman taking Winstrol? For a Figure show? Do you ever put girls on that?

Let’s get this straight; I never “put” girls on anything. What I do is provide options. I tell them what is out there and what they can expect to be competing against. I also go over the risks versus the rewards with each product and let the girls make the final decision.

Let me re-phrase the question. What would a girl under your guidance typically be taking for a show of that caliber?

In terms of anabolics, usually low dose Anavar, and on a rare occasion oral Winstrol. But that to me is the bridge between an aggressive and extreme approach. Winstrol is a DHT derivative, so there’s the issue of potential side effects to be concerned about. That along with the standard fat burner rotation of two weeks of yohimbe + caffeine, two weeks of ephedrine + caffeine, two weeks of clenbuterol. And T3, if the situation warrants it.

Any Testosterone?

Never. Hell, even with the female bodybuilders I coach, I try to stay away from T. I can honestly say I’ve never suggested a woman go on Testosterone. Unless I had a girl competing in a really big bodybuilding show and she had a legit shot at top 5 would I ever advise she take T. Anavar, Winstrol, Proviron, sure, but not T. Again, risk versus reward. The potential masculinizing sides from T are way too much of a gamble in my opinion.

You say “low dose Anavar.” It seems the consensus is that Anavar on it’s own doesn’t do much of anything?

First of all, no steroid “on it’s own” will do jack shit unless the training and diet is dialed in. But keep in mind; we’re talking about women here, not guys. I agree that 10mg a day of Anavar in a guy won’t do much at all, but I’ve seen it work wonders in girls. Delts get rounder, fat comes off, butts get harder. Plus the women always report that they just feel better throughout the prep. On just 10mgs. It’s amazing. I can get more out of a woman on 10mgs of Anavar a day than a lot of guys would get out of half a gram of Test a week. Seriously.

Are you not worried about potential sides?

At 10 mg a day? Come on. Anavar was developed for women and underweight kids. AIDS patients use it to keep on weight. It’s not like after a show these women are sporting a set of testicles and shaving their backs.

As for the Winstrol, I will concede that there’s more of a potential for virilization. But it’s individual and dose related, and always a last resort.

Do women ever approach you about taking steroids?

All the time. Often they hear about them from the other girls backstage. They say, “So and so beat me and she says she was taking this.” That happens after every show. But I feel it’s my job as their coach is to keep them up to speed with what they may be up against, because the last thing I want is a girl to complain that I wasn’t straight with them or didn’t present all the possible options.

The worst are the girls who get ideas from their meathead douchebag boyfriends. These guys are always self-appointed steroid experts. Sometimes I spend more time arguing with them than I do coaching their girlfriends.

I know guys whose one little steroid cycle turned into 10 plus years of heavy usage. Do you have any problems getting women to go off?

Zero. Women and men are completely different. They have different endocrinology. You’re describing some goofball guy who blasts a gram of test a week along with Anadrol, gains 30 pounds of water in 6 weeks, comes off and pisses 25 of them away in three days. For some impressionable guy, that’s a total mindfuck.

What I advocate for women is more of a temporary enhancement for a competitive edge. Women just seem to get that, so I never have that problem.

Would you prefer to coach women naturally?

Of course. But I didn’t set the judging standard. How I prep is solely a function of what looks the judges are awarding the highest placing. Other prep coaches who I respect and are doing this for a living approach it the same way.

From what you can tell, are other figure prep coaches more aggressive in terms of drugs?

Some are. The biggest problem I see is that a lot of coaches training girls are former bodybuilders themselves, or are used to training bodybuilders. They hear that judges want more muscularity and they’re like “Hey, I know what to do to get more muscular” and start loading the girls up on scaled down versions of cycles they used to do themselves. It’s a lack of knowledge more than anything.

A lot of coaches are also big on putting girls on anti-estrogens like Nolvadex and clomid. I don’t go there, either. The theory is that by lowering estrogen, the girls will hold less water and at the same time attack ass and leg fat. I prefer to play with the diet to eliminate water retention, and as for ass fat? Do some deadlifts, lunges, hill sprints, and follow your diet to a T. See what happens to your ass.

And then there’s Growth Hormone. Believe it or not, at the National level it’s there.

Figure girls taking GH?

Yeah, for fat loss. I don’t use it with my girls, but it works. On its own it won’t do too much, but you stack GH with T3 and clen and you have a pretty damn good fat burner. I’ve seen that used recently.

Ever hear any figure prep horror stories?

You wouldn’t believe some of the retarded advice I’ve seen people pay for. Meals consisting of 1-cup broccoli, that’s it. Or steroid cycles that are so freaking complicated that you would need a degree in chemistry to figure them out.

One girl I know was put on high dose T3 for about 6 months straight. She was never below 75 mcg a day, and she was eating next to nothing and doing multiple cardio daily sessions. When she eventually went off, she rebounded horribly. Her thyroid was cooked.

But the biggest bonehead play that I see these girls getting hammered with is the endless cardio combined with no calories. You have no idea how damaging that is to a woman’s metabolism. People get all shocked when I talk about Figure girls on low-dose anabolics; 3 hours of cardio at 900 calories a day is way more damaging to a woman’s metabolism than 10mg of Anavar. But I see that recommended all the time.

So if a girl is reading this and thinks she has what it takes but refuses to take anything, does she still has a hope?

Absolutely. Anyone can compete in any sport. But those at the top were genetically gifted to excel in that sport. The cream rises to the top, drugs or not.

Any thoughts on training?

First thing, a lot of girls just don’t train hard enough. I have all my girls killing it in the gym with heavy, complex lifts. Olympic lifts, pull-ups, dips; all the hard stuff nobody does in a commercial gym. Every single Figure girl I coach is deadlifting at least their bodyweight and each one of them has a back to prove it.

I also find that women respond to hormone stimulating lifts much greater than guys do. A guy doing the kind of workouts I put Figure girls through wouldn’t build much muscle, but a woman can put on a significant amount.

I see. Is that why they say CrossFit makes women hot and men small?

I like CrossFit for the average woman. It gets them doing real lifts and forces them to work hard. Unfortunately, other aspects of CrossFit are completely retarded.

Okay Coach, we’ve covered a lot of ground today. Any final advice for guys or girls looking to be the next ‘first name only’ phenomenon, like Ronnie, Dorian, Monica, or Dexter?

Any physique competition is basically a genetics game. And when you get to the pro level, everyone is going to be in shape; everyone is going to be conditioned. But what separates the winners from the rest is genetics.

If you’re a woman, do you have wide shoulders, a small waist and small hips? If you’re a guy, do you have broad shoulders, a narrow waist, sweeping quads, full muscle bellies, and small joints? If you don’t have those gifts, adjust your goals accordingly. That’s not to say you can’t get in better shape, but we’re talking about a competition where you are judged against others. It’s not always kind.

Drug wise, just be careful. Do your homework. Weigh the risks versus the rewards of everything you put into your body. And most importantly, decide if this is even what you need. Are you busting your ass in the gym? Do you have an expert designing your diet and more importantly, are you following it? If not, then don’t even look at taking gear yet.

Finally, ask your self what your motivation is for competing. Are you looking to test your mettle against others or are you really just looking for validation of your self-worth? I see that all the time, especially in women. Women are more emotionally based. They often invest a lot of their self worth in their contest placing, in what the judges say. Guys usually aren’t as sensitive that way. Well, usually they aren’t.

In general I’d say that competing attracts a lot of attention seekers, and often they just aren’t made for the sport. Like I say, anyone can improve their bodies and their physical appearance. But competing is an entirely different matter. A good reality check is worth more than a hundred cheerleaders. Trust me, I give them all the time.

Thanks for doing this today, Coach.

My pleasure.

The Daily Man-Up: Don’t Think About What You Want, Think About What It Would Take to Get It

0

One of the easiest personal finance tips out there is to simply stop wanting more stuff. It’s simple, but it’s true – if you had an easy way to basically eliminate your desire to acquire anything new aside from things to cover your barest needs, personal finance would become incredibly easy.

Sadly, humans don’t work that way.

Our desires run amok for a lot of reasons. We want things for personal enjoyment. We want them because they’ll fill an emotional hole in our life. We want them to impress others or to keep up with the Joneses. We want to feel rewarded for the hard work we put into our lives.

All of those things – and many more – wind up being justifications for the non-necessities that we spend our money on.

I’m guilty of the same thing myself. I can name tons of things that I want, for various reasons. There are a couple of long-out-of-print board games that I’d love to have (if you happen to have a copy of 1862, let me know), for example. I’d love to have some more Baron Fig Vanguard dot grid notebooks – they’re wonderful for taking notes, but they’re more expensive than I can really justify. I’m going to want an electric car as soon as they’re really viable and approach anything close to cost-effective.

There are non-material things that I want, too. I want to get this mostly-finished novel that stares at me from my desktop screen completed, edited, and published. I want to actually launch a different project that I’ve been working on for most of a year. I want to be in better physical shape (I’m working on that). I want to be better read. I want my office to be better organized.

I could throw either money or time – or in some cases, both – at any of these things and transform that “want” into a reality.

But here’s the problem: everything has an opportunity cost.

When you spend money on something, you’re taking away every other thing you could have done with that money.

When you spend time on something, you’re taking away every other thing you could have done with that time.

The reality of life is that you can have some things, but you can’t have everything. Whenever you have something, that means you’re choosing not to have something else.

I could have all of the material items I listed above, but I’d quickly wreck all of our plans for the future.

I could take care of all of the projects I listed above, but I’d have to eat into time that I spend on other things, like spending time with my children.

The truth is this: I want to spend every dollar and every moment of my life on the most valuable thing that I can spend it on. I think that’s a goal that most of us share. (It’s also a call to frugality, but that’s neither here nor there.)

My solution to all of this is simple: whenever I want something, I try not to think about how much I want that thing and how great it is; instead, I think of what I’ll have to give up to have it.

Here’s specifically how I do that.

I think of how many hours I’ll have to work to buy this item, and what those hours might represent. I do this by first calculating my true hourly wage – the amount of money I have in my pocket per hour of my life devoted to work. Let’s say it’s $10 a n hour for convenience sake.

If I’m at a coffee shop and I’m considering a latte and a bagel, the total might be $7.50. That means I have to give up 45 minutes of my life to work tasks to earn that coffee and a bagel. Is that really worth 45 minutes of my life, especially when I could get virtually the same thing at home for less?

Let’s say there’s a new board game I want (if you’re new here, tabletop board games are one of my main hobbies) and it costs, say, $50. Is it really worth five hours of my life lost to own this game, particularly if I have a similar game or if someone else that I regularly play games with also owns this game?

I try to think of the other things I might do with that time. I look at eight hours of value as being equivalent to retiring a day earlier or an extra day off of work doing something fun. Is that $80 item going to bring me more joy than a full day off of work doing whatever I want?

A Few Answers To Questions You Always Wondered About

What is the most disgusting day in human history?

December 13, 1937.

After the Second Sino-Japanese War broke out in 1937, the aggressive and disciplined Japenees troops had already managed to take Shanghai, and had just taken the city of Nanking (Nanjing), the capital of Nationalist China. With a retreat of Chinese forces the Japanese took the city with relative ease.

After the city had fallen, Iwane Matsui, the commander of the Japanese forces, allowed his troops to have free will with the people of Nanjing, as a complete destruction of the city would help give the Japanese a psychological advantage over Nationalist China.

Over the next six weeks, the exhausted Japanese Army absolutely destroyed the people of Nanjing. An estimated 300,000 people were killed in that time span, with nearly all of them being Chinese women, children, and the elderly. Men were forced to rape their families, children were beaten with rifles for wearing traditional Chinese clothes, children were buried alive while they watched soldiers rape their mothers, and thousands were slaughtered meaninglessly by firing squads and dumped into mass graves.

One of the most disturbing tales from the Nanjing massacre was the “sword contest”. Two Japanese lieutenants challenged each other to see who could behead the most Chinese in a day. At the end they both had beheaded over 100 people with their swords and carried their contest to the next day.

After six weeks of torture, rapes, murders, executions, and misery, the Japanese executed 4,000 alleged plain-clothes Chinese troops and pursued the rest of the Chinese army further south. Although the Chinese eventually won the war, the Nanjing Massacre was, without doubt, one of the darkest periods of our history. Within little over a month the Japanese killed over 300,000 innocent people, 5% of the numbers killed in the Holocaust over a four year period!

After the war some Japanese commanders responsible for the attack, including Matsui, were charged with war crimes and executed. However, many survivors did not come forward with evidence that could have brought justice to the thousands of soldiers that perpetrated this attack. Even today the Japanese government denies the amount of casualties estimated by the Chinese government, and many of the Nanjing commanders are enshrined in a memorial to fallen Japanese soldiers.

Why is rape traumatic?

Think of sex like eating. (Almost) everyone enjoys sex and eating. Think of an attractive person as a big juicy steak. You want that in your mouth. Now imagine if someone forced you to eat that steak when you weren’t hungry. Not just sat you down and said eat it, but shoved it down your throat. Hell, maybe they even chew it for you and then force feed you. Not exactly how you want to eat a steak, is it? Would be pretty traumatizing. And that is something you would want to eat, though after that, you may not enjoy steak the same way, ever again.

Now imagine being forced to eat something you don’t like. Imagine if you were forced to eat someones shit. They shove it in your mouth, pushing a whole log down your throat. Put a slimy piece in your mouth and make you chew and swish it around. Stick their ass in your face and have a liquid shit in your mouth. When they are done, the entire inside of your mouth is coated in crap, your face caked in it, your nose filled with the odour.

You can puke up the shit, wash your mouth and face, brush your teeth a hundred times, rub some peppermint oil under your nose, but it isn’t going to make you feel like you didn’t just eat a couple pounds of shit. No matter what you do, you wont feel ‘clean’. The smell of shit will always make you nauseous and bring back horrible memories.

Hell, if you’re a guy, just imagine having another guy forcefully fuck you in the ass without your consent. After he finished, you’ve got his cum inside you, dripping out, his spit all over your asshole, he’s had his tongue down his throat, his facial scruff has scratched up the skin on your face.

And imagine that if/when you tell people, some will always ask questions that seem to put the blame on you, or question the authenticity of your claim. If you want to charge the person, you’ll have to go to the police, recount everything that happened, moment to moment, in graphic detail. Then, if it goes to court, you’ll have to testify in front of dozens of people, including the guy who raped you, and repeat the same story, while being grilled by the defense attorney, who is trying to rip your testimony apart.

How does a neckbeard become a neckbeard?

Neckbeardism exists in the frission between being a social outcast, and a desire to fit in or belong to something. Tribalism and the desire for social acceptance are strong urges. Being alone for long stretches of time tends to lead to mental health issues.

So, you have these kids who perhaps don’t have a good relationship with their families. Maybe they came from broken homes, or came from families where they were somewhat ignored. They grew up shy, or otherwise isolated.

They get into nerd culture, or at least consume bits of culture at large that are “nerdy”. They start reading sci-fi and fantasy novels, or manga. They start watching anime that they found online (or renting it from the specialty video store, where it’s kept next to the porn — like I did in highschool in the 90s). They gravitate to stories where the protagonist is sensitive, or has unique & hidden importance. In these stories, the protagonist is a misunderstood genius or savant, and the entire world is set against them. They play videogames where the entire world was created just to cater to the whims of the main character.

They identify with these protagonists, and start to build a personality around the stories they consume. You see this in other subcultures, as well — like motorcyclists decked out exclusively in Harley Davidson clothing, or hip-hop heads wearing shoes from the latest hot designer. It’s a way of showing people: I am this person because I like these things.

So, you have a socially isolated person, whose only blueprints for interacting with the world are taken from pop culture. They’ve never had their rough edges sanded off by having to navigate social structures. So when social interaction goes poorly for them (because they act like a douche), they’re unable to internalize that it may just be them that’s the problem. Instead, they think: It’s not them — they’re not wrong. The world simply doesn’t understand how special they are.

Maybe someday, they find other like-minded people — in meatspace or online. They gravitate towards each other, and all of a sudden,they have social interaction. But these like-minded people also have similar backgrounds. Instead of lessening their baser tendencies, they feed off each other, and amplify the negative personality traits and thought processes. Instead of becoming more palatable to the world at large, they enhance those characteristics that make people turn away. They probably can’t hold down a job, because nobody likes working with self-aggrandizing assholes unless those assholes have irreplaceable skillsets.

So they sit on whatever forum du jour bitching about how nobody understands them. They get caught in a negative feedback loop, becoming more bitter and cynical every day. Their compatriots understand. They’ve all taken “the red pill”, too. They all know how cucked the world is. Fucking Chad! Fucking Stacy! Women are all just sluts who won’t sleep with me!

Neckbeards become walking cancer infecting every social interaction or platform with their venom. They cannot fathom that, no… It’s not the world that’s shit. They are.

 

 

What was the most demoralizing weapon deployed by the United States during WWII?

In the few books from the German point of view about D-Day and the following battles, the thing that demoralized the Germans more than anything else was the profligate use of White Phosphorus shells. When these were employed the German will to resist evaporated. WP doesn’t ever stop burning, even under water. If you are hit with even a small piece you are going to burn. In the bunkers, when WP splashed through the casemate apertures the will to resist disappeared and the Germans ran away. The Germans had WP too but never used it to the extent the Americans did and usually for smoke. WP is such a devastating weapon that use in civilian areas is a war crime.

Beyond that, the Germans were demoralized by American artillery. We had so much of it that we could use it indiscriminately. By the time the Americans had arrived the Germans were short of both artillery and ammunition. In many cases, even at D-Day, World War 1 artillery was employed by the Germans. Around Paris the Germans deployed a battalion of WW1 French tanks they were using for police duty. They were wiped out. You can read many accounts of demoralized German forward observers watching American trucks drive down the road unmolested because the Germans were rationing shells to five rounds per day. And you need three just to register. Moreover, much of the German artillery was so worn out that the Germans had a word for its’ firing: “cow tail”. That is, instead of flying straight to the target, multiple rounds from the same gun would fly all over the place like the swishing of a cow tail.

Finally, American air power was thoroughly devastating to morale. Materiel could only move at night and anything caught out in the open was likely to be destroyed. Many soldiers reported that the sound of propellers terrified them for decades after the war.

So my son was being bullied pretty badly at school. People would make fun of his accent, use racial slurs towards him, throw open milk cartons at him at lunch, start rumors about him, they put his book bag in the toilet once, and a bunch of fucked shit kids do to each other.

My son had told on the main perpetrator to me and his mother and I went to the school and told them about my concerns and the school gave him a stern talking to which only stopped him for a few weeks and then he continued to bully my son. So I went to the school and complained again and the administration had told me that they spoke to the kid and he had told them that he was just joking and he didnt mean any of the stuff he was saying and that they were actually friends anyway the assistant principal told me that “boys will be boys” and that it was not out of the ordinary for boys to make fun of each other, but since the kid had admitted to doing it they gave him in-school suspension which is essentially a slap on the wrist.

So after that I realized that nothing was going to happen if I kept running back to the administration every time my son came home crying so I took matters into my own hands. (Now Im going to tell you something about me. In my home country I was an amateur boxer but due to the financial situation I was in, my mother did not want me to box she wanted me to work and study, so I cut a deal with her if I made that if to the Olympics I would go pro after but If I failed I would stop and work and go to university. Anyway I failed and stopped boxing and got a job and finished my studies.)

Ok so what I did was taught my son how to fight. Everyday after I get home from work for the past 9 months I take him to the local boxing gym and taught him how to hit the bag, throw combinations, taught him about foot work and movement, how to work the speed bag, how to dodge, hit the pads and everything I else I knew from my old days as a boxer. It worked wonders for my son not only did he become physically stronger, he also became mentally strong, he stopped coming home crying, he started to make friends and it had a real positive effect on him.

When I would ask him If he was still getting bullied he said it didnt bother him what people he didnt care about said about him, So I figured that was the end of the bully problem, I was wrong. Two weeks ago I get a call from school that my son had gotten into a fight and that I had to go pick him up because he and the other boy were both suspended for 5 days for fighting. When I go to pick my son up he is covered in blood, which was alarming at first but then he told me that it was not his blood it was the other boy, the one who put his bag in the toilet kept walking up to him and using racial insults towards him and my son told him If he didnt stop he was going to beat him up, and he kept his promise. Turns out my son broke the other kids nose, busted his lip and hit the other kids eye and it had swollen shut. My son has some bruises on his face but nothing compared to the other kid.

Now my son has been getting yelled at alot by his mother, she made him write and apology letter to the boy, the boys parents, to the principal, to the teacher, to the security guard who broke it up and she is really mad at me and blames me for this because I taught him how to fight but I honestly could not be more proud of him.  Sorry for the horrible grammar English is not my first language.

Confessions Of A Dude Who Wants His Leg Amputated

0

Tell me a little bit about yourself.
I’m retired, but I was a self-employed construction worker my whole life. I’m married to my second wife and we have a large blended family, including two grandchildren who live with us. I’m a big guy: about six-foot-three, fairly muscular, and I’ve always been very strong. My biggest problem is a complete secret: I have an unexplainable desire to do something that most people would dread. I want to have my left leg amputated, just above the knee. I strongly feel that my left leg just shouldn’t be on my body. I’ve thought about it obsessively every single day of my life.

Literally your whole life?
It’s always been there but it got much worse when I was going through a divorce in my late twenties. I met my first wife when I was a teenager and we had a child before I turned 19.

Married with a baby, that’s a lot of responsibility for a teenager …
It was a big weight to carry, and I was only making $1.50 an hour. We built a house and I started my own construction business when I was 23. I put all my energy into that and my income kept doubling. I often traveled for work and sometimes I was gone for five days at a time. That’s when she started fooling around on me. I don’t think it was because I was a workaholic — I think my absence just presented the opportunity. She didn’t think we were having enough fun, but I was trying to build a business so we could have a nice future. I divorced her and was single for nearly five years before I met my current wife.

Does anyone know about it?
I recently told my wife, but if anyone else who knows me found out, it would be devastating. Nobody understands it and a lot of people depend on me and think I’m perfect.

Can you describe the precise thoughts?
It’s a strong feeling that I should have been born without my left leg. If I make eye contact with it and I’m not fully concentrating on something else, I obsessively think: This leg shouldn’t be there. And it’s very disturbing because I know that’s not normal. It’s like my brain perceives my body without a left leg. I can be talking to someone and suddenly unable to focus on what they are saying because I’m thinking about my leg and wishing it wasn’t there.  It’s an overwhelming urge. I might be dozing on a recliner and I get this weird feeling around my knee that that’s where it needs to be off. The busier I am the more I can control it, but if I get stressed the thoughts intensify.

Do you remember when it began?
When I was about 5 or 6. I was in downtown L.A., and since it was just after the war, there were lots of amputees around. I vividly remember seeing a man get off a streetcar. He had a peg leg and I thought: I wish that were me. Later, I began to tuck my foot right up behind my bottom when I was in bed at night — little kids are very flexible. I’d then place the covers down over my knee so it looked like there was nothing there.

Over the years I developed a bit of a non-sexual peg leg fetish. I remember around 10 years old being with my grandfather on a construction job and I made myself one. I told him it was for a Halloween costume, but it was nowhere near October. But not once did I think there was anyone else in the world who had these thoughts and I didn’t think about removing it.

Did you ever see an amputation up close?
When I was a kid, a relative’s husband got his hand stuck in a machine and he cut some of his fingers off. I recall visiting them and they were playing cards with another couple he’d met through rehab. I shouldn’t even remember any of this except this other guy had lost his left leg. He was sitting in a chair, wearing a pair of jeans, and his leg was off above where the cuff of the jeans were so the cuff was empty. 

It stuck in my mind. It was around the same time I saw the guy with a peg leg. Later a close male relative who was a race-car driver got in a bad accident and ended up having his leg amputated. 

Were you jealous?
No, I was really young. Well, you know, actually I’m not too sure that I wasn’t. He didn’t like the fact that he didn’t have that leg, but I would have relished it.

Does it accompany any sexual desires?
It’s not sexual — I don’t get off thinking about myself without a leg.  The only sexual connection I can think of is that I have wondered what it would be like having sex with that leg missing.

Does that thought excite you?
No. Actually, there is one way that sex is involved. I have these early morning episodes, almost panic attacks, and one of the things that relieves them is for me to roll over to my wife and do a little hugging and kissing and maybe make love. It’s one of the only times I’m relieved of the thoughts.

What was your childhood like? Did you ever experience any trauma or unsettling events?
I’m an only child and I grew up with my parents who worked together. My dad was a builder and my mom would help him with his business. They lived 70 years together almost every day. I was around loving people.

I didn’t have much pressure, but my parents were firm about certain morals: Don’t lie, don’t steal, don’t cheat on your taxes or your wife. However, I’ve had a lot of stress in my adult life. I went through a divorce. I’ve raised many kids, two of whom my current wife took in as foster children. Two of our kids are not with us anymore. One was killed in a motorcycle accident and another died suddenly of heart failure. My oldest had a bit of a problem with drugs, so we ended up raising the kids. Also, I’m an only child, so I was the sole caregiver for my parents for the last few years of their life. I’ve lived through a lot.

It was less of a problem when I was a young teen — I was distracted by cars and girls. When I was approaching 30, following my divorce, I started to think I was going crazy. It bothered me more and more, and then one day I thought I should just get a saw and chop my leg off.

Do you spend much time thinking about having it removed?
I’ve worked around heavy equipment my whole life, so I’ve thought about smashing it. I’ve thought about sawing it. I’ve made quite serious physical preparations at least three times. I recently got to the point I just couldn’t stand it anymore and thought about telling my doctor what I was planning and to expect me to be in the parking lot of a hospital. I figured I’d put a bunch of rope around it real tight and take a saw and chop it off. That way I’d get immediate medical help. I would also saw the leg into two or three pieces so they couldn’t put it back on.

There was one time I had a laborer working here on the property and I started my chainsaw to cut off a small tree close to the ground so he could easily remove the stump. I was standing on the side of the hill with this chainsaw in my hand and I just thought, Oh, it would be so easy. The temptation was very real.  

It seems like a real tension: You are so strong and physical andcapable, so if you were to remove your leg, it would really alter your quality of life.
It would. However, I’ve done so much peg leg research that I know how to walk on one. But it’s true, I don’t want to be handicapped. I’m very active. I ski. I use heavy equipment. My wife and I love to dance ’50s swing together. I have many acres of property to take care of.  I’m into classic cars and I have four of them, two of which are stick shift. I will most likely die with two feet, mainly because of my family, my responsibilities, and my wife. If I only had myself to consider, I’d probably do it.

But you didn’t tell your first wife?
No. I knew she wasn’t a very understanding person and I lived with it better then. I put all my thoughts into building my business rather than cutting off my leg. During my divorce was the first time I made a serious plan to stage an accident and just do it.

What did you do?
I modified a dump truck and I was gonna stick my leg in the bed hinge and let the bed down. The fear of bleeding to death is the only thing that stopped me. I wasn’t scared of the pain. I didn’t want to die. I’m not that unhappy a person. 

How close were you?
I guess I was about ten seconds away.

How did you feel in the moments leading up to it?
My heart was racing and I was repeating in my head I have to do this I have to do this I have to do this. Then I thought No, I’m not going to do this now. I had put a bungee cord around the leg to act as a tourniquet and I wondered if it could really control the bleeding.

Do you regret not going through with it?
It’s my biggest regret, ever. It would all be gone by now and I’d have had enough time to get used to living without my leg. If it was what my psyche really needed, it would have been accomplished.

How often do you think about your leg?
It’s the first thing I think about every single day, and then the thoughts come hourly. I sleep about five hours each night. I used to jump up to try and get it out of my mind, but now I just lay there and sometimes I’ll fall into a sort of half sleep and have a dream and actually convince myself that it’s not there only to wake up and find out that it is, and that’s terribly stressful. 

How did you find out that your condition has a name?
I lived for about 50 years thinking I was the only person who has these thoughts. I have some problems with my left foot — pinched nerves and plantar fasciitis. About 15 years ago, a podiatrist was injecting my foot with cortisone to relieve the pain. I joked and I said, “why don’t you just cut that sucker off?” I followed up asking if anybody ever actually did that. She said, “You don’t have apotemnophilia, do you?” That was the first time I’d ever heard the word. I wrote it down on a piece of paper and tucked it away. About eight years ago, I got it out of my dresser drawer and though I was barely able to use a computer, I looked it up and I thought, You gotta be kidding me. There’s actually other people who feel this way. Even though I don’t have apotemnophilia, I learned about BIID. 

Did you seek therapy? 
No, but I did I try to get help after the dump truck incident. I went to my family doctor, but he freaked out and said that it’s a sexual disorder that had cranked up because I was single — everyone thought it was a sexual thing back then. He sent me to talk to another guy who said the same thing and referred me to another who agreed. All three were old men and they screwed me up worse than I already was. The average psychologist doesn’t know anything about it. I wished I hadn’t told anyone. 

How did you end up telling your wife?
Several years ago, I got to a point where I couldn’t cope and I broke down and told her. She suspected there was a problem because I have vivid dreams and I talk in my sleep. Whenever I see myself in a dream I don’t have my left leg. I regularly wake up distressed and sweaty after euphoric dreams of living without that leg. I once told her I’d had a dream that my leg was cut off, so I think she thought I had a fear of losing my leg. She’s a sweetheart, but she could hardly deal with it — she thought I was kidding. It was horrible; I felt like someone lifted an animal off my shoulders only to realize that she couldn’t accept it. And of course, she couldn’t. I seemed like an idiot.

Did she change her mind about it after she’d had time to process what she’d learned?
I have a briefcase full of material from the internet. She read it all and said, “Well, I really want you to be happy,” but a few weeks after that she said she just couldn’t handle it. She’s come around a little bit. I understand why she doesn’t like to hear about it, but I’ve come to realize that it helps to talk. But it upsets her, so I refrain from discussing it. 

Was there a change in how you felt after you told your wife?
It had been bottled up inside me for so long so it was a release. But the last thing I want to do is alienate myself from the love of my life. And because she wasn’t very understanding when I first told her — what normal person would be? — I was worried about that. Following one of our conversations, she cried and told me that if I cut it off she’d divorce me. She later said she wouldn’t. 

Have you ever tried to numb it so you can’t feel it?
No, but I’ve heard that in the U.K. the popular thing to do is put on a tourniquet and place your leg it in a bucket of dry ice so it’s dead and has to be cut off. I could never do that — it seems like it would be awful painful. It sounds stupid, but it’s a very visual thing, so when I can’t see it, I’m not so bothered.

Are you a visual person?
Very much so. My wife and I like people watching. I like to look at the view of my property from my house. I like to look at my cars and, this might be a little tacky, I like to keep the lights on when I’m making love to my wife; I want to see her.

Do you do things to avoid looking at your leg?
My wife and I have a double recliner and in the evenings we sit and watch TV. Most of the time I have my leg down the crack between the two footrests because I get so irritated when I see it. 

Have there been especially stressful moments where it’s worse than other times? What about when you were caring for your ailing parents?
No, because I was so involved with taking care of them that I didn’t have time for it. It’s the worst when I get stressed over a bunch of little things or when I’m alone with no distraction — that’s when I think about doing something to “fix the problem.”

About a year ago, I thought, I have to get the opinion of someone who knows a lot about this. I called the Columbia professor Dr. First; he asked me ten minutes’ worth of questions and said he thinks I have it as bad as it comes. And he told me about a man called the Gatekeeper who could offer me a surgical option if that was what I was interested in.

The Gatekeeper? 
Yes. He’s a man who also has this problem. He went overseas to have his left leg amputated and now he helps people like me. I’ve been cleared, so I just have to say the word and he’ll make it happen. He says surgery will fix your life. 

But there are some people I have exchanged emails with, via an online group. All of them have had left leg amputations. They still obsess about their limbs and talk about other amputations even though the leg is gone and they claim to be much happier. My dream is if I had this leg amputated it would all go away and I’d be a normal person, with a fake leg. That’s the difference between me and these other sufferers. Having the leg gone but still being plagued by these thoughts would make my life worse. Also, I saw photos of one of the amputations he organized and it wasn’t great. 

Does that mean you have an ideal stump in mind? 
Oh yes, I even know what kind of closure I would have. There’s two or three different methods, they use two or three different flaps to cover the bone on the end and there’s a type where it’s kind of closed like the scar would be right in the middle and slightly curved around the end. Some of the flaps end up being all bumpy and lumpy. I know exactly how I want it to look: With a centerline closure a couple of inches above the knee. I had a friend who had his leg amputated due to circulation problems. His stump was absolutely pristine, very clean and tapered. 

How do you feel when you see amputees?
Envious, especially if it’s a left leg. But if I see someone with their arm missing I think, Oh my gosh, you poor thing! I wouldn’t want to lose my right leg, either.

If you did have it removed, would you want a wheelchair or a prosthetic leg?
The peg leg thing with no foot has always enthused me. Dr. First suggested that it’s because it doesn’t resemble a real leg, but it’s something I can walk on. I’d like to have three prosthetic legs, one for everyday use, one for special occasions, and a peg leg for fun. I saw a guy at a car show who had one made out of aluminum; he’d decorated it with stickers and other racing memorabilia. 

Does researching amputation calm you down or does it make you feel anxious?
It’s exciting. It can be a little disturbing and it can be a good feeling; it’s like an adrenaline rush. 

What’s the worst thing about this condition?
It’s something I can’t fix. I repair my own cars. I’m building a classic car right now, from scratch. If something’s broken, I want to glue it back together. And I’m responsible for a very large family. I’m a fixer.

Do you think you’ll ever actually do it?
If my wife said, “Go ahead and do it if it will make you happy,” and if I was sure she’d be happy with me doing it, and that I’d be satisfied afterwards, I’d go ahead and do it. But now that I’m learning more about people who have done it but not had any relief from the thoughts, I have more doubts.

Ten years ago, I was just waiting to do it when I retired, thinking I won’t be as busy — I’ll just get that thing off and I’ll be happy the rest of my life. But it doesn’t look like it’s going to work out that way. I guess I do believe that living with only one leg could not possibly be as bad as the everyday torment that this condition causes. The medical community needs to know that.

The Gatekeeper told me a story. He was once at a convention for BIID people and someone came up to him and asked if he could take a pill that would make it go away, would he? And he said, “I don’t think so, because this is who I am.” The difference between us is I would take it. Not necessarily for myself, because in a way this condition is who I am. I would take it for a better life. I would take it for my wife. I would take it for my family.
