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

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

Looks a lot like Boiler room to me

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.

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.

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.

might build a guest house/granny flat in the woods on our lot. We have a few acres and most of it is heavily wooded, been thinking we might add a little house back there. So I talked about that with the wife. I don't really think it is necessary, but it would be fun and I would learn a lot since I would do it myself. It would probably add value to the house, and the kids would probably dig that when they get older. If and when I quit lawyering, I think I might like to build houses.

How bout that time you watched TV and ate a sandwich?

I did make a pretty bad ass breakfast sandwich the other day. Fried egg, crabcake, bacon, avocado. It was pretty damn good, I would even say it was something exciting in my life. I have thought about it again.

Ill take "building a small house" for 200

I don't have anything to say since I haven't watched ant movies, I don't watch sports, and nothing interesting ever happens in my life (that you guys would find interesting that is).
