I'd love to phase it out. I'm pretty sick of it. I never want to do it and haven't been making a lot of money when I do get on there. But for now it's pretty much my only source of income. I haven't even been writing for the magazine much at all lately.

I was just reading some posts on IMDB and one guy starts off post with:

"I am a film major at a University. So i know about how to view and rank films."

Shit is BOLworthy.

Shit just keeps getting worse for Lance Armstrong:

Dam, they fucked that dude.

Big time. He went from having pretty much everything to having pretty much nothing in, like, a few months. I bet he's PISSED.

I wonder what he's thinking right now? Is he full of regret or is he like, "I knew this day would come."

[Mr. IWS]

From the sound of it, sounds like this dipshit is still in denile and believes he is innocent.

[SPX]

Well regardless of his guilt, I really doubt he'll ever admit to it. I expect him to take it to his grave.

I wonder if he's been stashing money away "just in case."

I am sure in his mind he has justified it, and thinks he is being treated unfairly (which he probably is, since every other tour winner doped too). He did a lot of good on one hand, so I fee bad for him, but on the other hand, I really dislike people that just lie and lie even if the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

Yeah I agree that they probably all cheat at the high level. That said, the article calls it the most "sophisticated doping program in the history of sport". I bet they are embellishing it.

Just wanted to announce that I am a vegan for the next 30 days. Better, I am only eating whole plant based foods.

I have been watching all of these food documentaries (I am on a Netflix free trial), and they scared me.

Why only 30 days? Just a trial to see if you can make it a life long thing?

Big Mac's go on sale, 2 for 4 bucks, on November 23rd I think.

I wouldn't go that far. Just like not all MMA fighters are on PEDS.

I watched Food Matters and Food Inc. Both pretty interesting.

But fuck giving up my carnivore creds.

Yeah, I am definitely not going to be a life long vegan. At the very least, I will eat fish and occasional eggs. I am also giving up all sugar and salt, I don't think the benefit is enough to justify the cost overall. I am doing for 30 days just to see if I notice a difference in the way I feel. I am definitely going to lose some pounds, but I am more curious to see how I feel. I have pretty good energy now, and I am actually in very good health, despite being obese- all my numbers are good and I am in good condition. But the short term is just as a test phase. I want to commit to it, otherwise I won't do it. But I want to commit to something I can actually do (and would want to do).
