That Wolfs of wall street moving looks really good. I saw that its based on a true story.

yeah, I will probably see that. I want to see The Counselor too, even though the reviews haven't been good. I did see Gravity a few weeks ago. I thought it was pretty ok, which is generally how I feel about almost all movies anymore. Been a long time since I walked thinking "damn, that was awesome" or even had a lasting impression beyond "pretty entertaining." I like stuff that stays with me, not just entertaining movies.

I loved Gravity. My wife said it was the worst movie she ever saw lol.

I can frame a house and do most of the interior carpentry and drywall. I can't do electric or plumbing. I haven't done foundation work (though it doesn't strike me as super difficult), which is why my plan is to use pole construction for this thing. I am not super "handy" in that I can't really fix things, but I can build things, mostly because I read about it and am not afraid to try it. I worked a construction job for a couple summers when I was in law school.

I can't fix an engine or an A/C unit or anything like that. I really have no understanding of mechanical things. I can replace brakes and an alternator, that is about as deep as I can go on a car. I am even worse when it comes to small engines. I have to take my lawn mower to the shop to have even the most basic things done.

Your way more advanced then Me. If something doesnt work in my house, I though it out and buy a new one.

Looks a lot like Boiler room to me

I do a lot of shit, I just don't watch TV very much. A typical day goes: eat, take kids to school, work, usually work out (bjj or ride bike), dinner, play with kids, talk to wife, sleep. Mixed in all this is that about 1-2x per week I am driving somewhere in the midwest, so I spend the entire day in the car.

On weekends I might do something more exciting, compete in bjj, go on a short trip, go out to eat with the wife, go to a kid's bday party.

I don't know, I do a lot of stuff actually, yesterday I rode my bike to a lake (where I was trespassing) and took a kayak out for a spin. I played a shit load of legos. I cooked some fish. I had a conversation with the wife about building a small house. I did watch TV yesterday for about an hour (Top of the Lake)... Any of this interesting?

Sounds like my life except the wife and kids stuff. I don't live an exciting life.........but I hope to someday

Love Gravity. The girl I took to it fell asleep during it if that tells you anything lol.

And I cant fix anything in the house or car. I have the yellow pages for that.

Poopoo, whats a good training program to get My kids bench press higher. He is strong as shit, but can barely bench 200. He can squat 430, deadlift 405, clean 195, but his bench sucks. We did the Bill Starr 5x5 last offseason and that shit worked wonders for Me, but didnt do anything for him.

What's his best bench? He is big and looks like has long arms if I remember right, might take awhile to get him a big bench.

Just wanted to announce that I decided to check out my Obamacare options recently. Fuck. That. Shit.

I predict that this is not going to work. The people they need in the pool (people like me, healthy high earners) are not going to get in there and subsidize everyone else. The insurance companies are going to lose money. It won't work. I wanted it to work, I really did, because there is a social good there and it needs to be implemented. But I guarantee that it won't work in its current form.

I don't honestly understand it because I've paid little attention to the whole thing, but why won't it work? From my little understanding of it, isnt the government just giving a subsidy to people who can't afford insurance to help them pay for it?
