Something About Insanity

Help me out here, how does the saying go? Repeating the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of what? Insanity. Yet here we are, expecting different results from the same self absorbed redunkulous . Yup. Insanity.

Twirls and Khaki’s.

One of my guilty pleasures these last few years is watching the lifestyles of the pretend rich and crazy on Bravo’s Housewives series. Even I have my limits though and have gotten away from it, they’re just so mean. But one little train wreck down in Atlanta believes herself to be “Gone With the Wind fabulous” and will twirl…with a fan. It’s so deliciously bizarre that when she pops up on the tele, I’ll watch for a bit. But this past week (or whenever the episode aired) she told her father that she wanted to make contact with her mother (the same mommy who told her she never wanted a child; her; and don’t ever contact her) to move on from pain this separation has caused to Ms. Fabulous. Well, that was very sad and of course hit home for me in a sense. When all of a sudden, Kenya’s father threw a bucket full of reality right back at her. Do not expect a different result to this conversation. She hasn’t changed, no matter how much you want her to. She doesn’t want to be a mother, I know that hurts but you’re not going to change it. It was real and it was sad. And familiar. Unfortunately.

I was reminded of this last night that even though time goes by and distance is placed, wanting a different relationship with the same people who have brought a dark energy not only into my life but those of my children is absolutely insane. Why would I expect different? Misplaced hope I reckon. The fact that a bucket full of reality was placed on the Oz man and hearing his disappointment in it was almost too much for this confrontational mama bear. Congratulations, your grandson hears loud and clear he’s not important. By the way? GFY. There, that’s something I almost got on the phone and said. Restraint Yo! Insanity. We hear you loud and clear, we’re off the merry go round. Well done.

And talk about twirls, did you see the Jim Harbaugh’s twirls last weekend? Good lord I love that man. He is the most hilarious the NFL has and he seems to know how to win which seems to piss some people off. Me? I watch football for entertainment and I am constantly entertained by him. I’ll always cheer for his team to move on in the playoffs just for one more week of his antics. OH! And talk about khaki’s? Here’s a pic of him picking up a stack at Walmart last spring with his classic “WTF look”…

By the way, the 49’rs are supposedly selling his old game day pants. I’m assuming that’s an Onion report. Yes??

Enjoy your weekend.

About tosabarbell

For training opportunities at tosabarbell, call or text Juli at 320-296-9313. e-mail to jep6095@gmail.com At tosabarbell, I build relationships cultivated in a strength and learning environment. There is no 12 week magic pill program to strength but rather a lifetime commitment to be the very best and most useful human you can be. tosabarbell is a private, home grown gym with three lifting platforms; squat rack; prowlers; throwing implements; bars, bumpers and everything else needed for an effective strength and conditioning program. Straightforward barbell programming including the Olympic lifts; sound (read: not fancy bullshit) diet advance for weight gain or loss; and strong coaching will ensure you will meet your goals such as becoming stronger, more explosive, and better conditioned. I have been coaching teams and athletes for over 30 years. I grew up participating in various sports at various levels but was always drawn to those that require strength training. I have multiple local, national, and world records in the sports of Weightlifting and Highland Games Heavy Events as well as a combined total of 5 World Championships. My 5 years of training and coaching under Mark Rippetoe provided a wide range of influence from some of the top strength & conditioning and throwing coaches in the country. I will strongly encourage tosabarbell athletes to compete (and prepare you to do so.) However, tosabarbell is also for those who wish to be stronger and go through life feeling better. Matt WanAt is a retired Professional Strongman who competed frequently with Strongman Champions League in Europe. He played a year of D1 football with Iowa before concentrating on his Chemical Engineering degree in Iowa City. He is a native of Wauwatosa and still remains a staunch supporter of Tosa East. This blog will be a mixture of strength notes, coaching and nutrition tips, personal shit; bacon delicacies, and a whole lot of fun.
