Quote of the Day

"I feel terrific about where I am in my life, when I look back at what I've accomplished. But I feel so shitty when I look at myself in the mirror. I'm not competing, I'm not ripping off my shirt and trying to sell the body. But when I stand in front of the mirror and really look, I wonder: What the fuck happened here? Jesus Christ. What a beating!" - Arnold Schwarzenegger

I get that. I'm going to be 45 this year and I sort of feel a desperation to be at the gym a lot. It won't be long before the gym won't help. I honestly don't think I'm a typical 40 something though. I don't have any gray hair and such.

You're young and really don't have any money, and you have to work like mad and all that. Then you get older, and you've got a few bucks, and life isn't as crazy.. but then you're not physically as capable anymore. But, in your mind, you're still the same.. still as capable... and when it doesn't feel the same, that really sucks.

I do feel pretty much like I did when I was 30. I don't have any real physical problems.. and hell.. look at Stallone. He's Arnold's age and is still more athletic than most 25 year olds..

But life does have many cruel ironies in store for us. I still have some time, but not a lot.
