You guys might remember me mentioning that I’ve been following a high-fat diet these days.  It’s supposedly very effective at burning off fat and is a natural testosterone booster.  I don’t really know how you can measure an increase in testosterone levels, but I sure am getting leaner.  I love how I’m eating bacon all day everyday but still losing pounds.  Beat that.

Of course, I’m worried about cholesterol.  In theory, I’m taking enough fish oil to negate the negative effects, but you can never be too sure.  That’s why I can’t stay on this diet long term.  Will probably try to run it in cycles.  Either that or take a blood test to determine my cholesterol levels.

Then again, that sounds like way too much work.

I usually don’t do this, but DAMN.  I LOVE THIS ANIME! I’m assuming you’ve been following the past 166 episodes or else you wouldn’t be reading this, so here goes:

After Hinata gets taken down by Pain, Naruto gets really angry and removes the seal of the Nine Tails inside him.  Naruto then transforms into the Kyuubi, albeit only with 6 tails.  He then starts whooping the living bejeezus out of Pain, especially after the tails increase their number to 8.

While all this ass kicking is going on, we see that Hinata is actually still alive, which is awesome because I think she’s really nice.

ANYWAY, Naruto’s consciousness is slowly being overwhelmed by the Nine-Tails who is convincing him to take off the FINAL SEAL.  Because of Naruto’s pain and hatred he’s about to rip off the final seal that will free the Kyuubi completely, when suddenly TADARAN-DUNDUN!  The Fourth Hokage appears!

End of Episode.  Spoiler Alert, next few lines.  Stop reading,  You’ve been warned.

The Fourth is actually Naruto’s OLD MAN!  I just got goosebumps!

I have a friend who recently got a new Mac Book Pro.  First, let me congratulate her on such a sound purchase.  She will enjoy many wonderful hours of working on the best laptop in the world.

Second, I’m ashamed to say Apple has introduced a left click keypad button.  I can’t believe they’d sell out like that.  I used to left click here, there and everywhere with pride.  Now I must hang my head in shame because Apple has decided that the PC’s left click option IS more practical.  Killed the dream, man.

Oh well.  Apple has come out with some redeeming factors this year anyway, first of which is the new iPhone.  Lots of issues, lots of bugs, still the best phone on the market.

I’ve done an experimental run on this diet for a couple of weeks, and the results have been astounding.  I’m eating all this food that I love (KFC, steak, cheeses) and I’m actually getting leaner in the process.

The risks of such a high-fat diet though still bother me.  For one, I’m worried about the effects of the fat on my cholesterol levels.  I think perhaps I may be at risk for having so much bacon.  I’ve decided to incorporate fish oil supplementation into the diet, just to play it safe.  Also, olive oil should help.

There’s also been some talk about all that fat affecting the complexion.  So far, I haven’t seen the need to break out the acnepril yet, so I guess maybe that complexion issues aren’t common to everybody.

I’ll keep everybody updated on how the diet is working after a solid 10 days on it.  Hopefully it will have the desired results, because I LOVE this thing.

Been doing plyometrics lately, albeit unsuccessfully.  I think I’m still too heavy and/or too weak to be doing them since I can feel the impact on my knees way too much.  I’ll probably stop for a while and just try to cut some weight first.  Either that or load up on some natural joint pain relief products.

I do feel a little bit more explosive, but I think that’s just psychological, or maybe the effect of dropping around 5 pounds.  I’ve got a lot of weight to drop still, though, before I consider doing plyo again.  I want to be more explosive, not wreck my knees in the process.

In other news, I will be starting the real Anabolic Diet today.  Will write about it more next time.

I’ve been thinking about fixing up my mess of a room for a while now, but I guess I should probably wait until the new house is up.  I’m supposed to be thinking about how I want the new room to look like, but I can’t really do that since I don’t think I’m going to be staying there THAT long.  Maybe get some custom blinds to keep the sun out, a TV with a working remote, and a clean bathroom, I’m happy.

The most important thing?  The basketball court and the place for my free weights.  It’s not a hobby, it’s a lifestyle.

Speaking of basketball, Free Agency Watch officially opened yesterday!  I’m just really curious if we can have some sort of Super Team formed.

I’m eating my bacon and eggs right now.  6am at the warehouse.  Everything’s quiet except for the water filter and the dogs.  Workers will be getting here around 630am.  It’s still pretty cool out, but it’ll probably get a lot warmer by mid-morning.

It’s one of those days when I just want to go back to bed!  The only thing that’s keeping me awake is waiting for the new Full Metal Alchemist episode to load!  It’s that bad.  I can’t even enjoy this bacon!

So the iPhone 4 apparently has bad reception and a boatload of other problems.  I still would’ve bought it, except I told the GF I wouldn’t.  Best decision ever.

Especially since Apple is coming out with the iPhone 5 by 2011!  It’s going to have a higher MP camera by SONY.  Beat that.  Hopefully they’ll also be able to rememdy the reception issues with the antenna.  I’m still waiting on news of higher storage capacity and FM radio.

Strangely enough, I’ve never had a phone that had FM radio, and by gum, I want one.  2011 is just a few months away.  Less than half a year.  It’s going to be LEGENDARY.

Been eating so much dietary fat lately!  It’s all part of the Anabolic Diet I’m following.  Few carbohydrates, as much fat and protein as I want.  It’s tougher than you think.  I can’t believe I actually have to restrict rice and bread and all that stuff on weekdays.  Does Friday count?

It seems to be working, though.  Lost like 4 pounds this week.  Who needs Lipovox, right?  Just gotta keep eating all that dietary fat and working out!  Move my ass in the gym.

I’m also going to be balling tonight, and I probably need carbohydrates beforehand.  That’s why I am going to stay away from all carbs until dinner.

OH SNAP.

Last 2008, after being eliminated by the Celtics in Game 6 of the Finals, Kobe Bryant was sulking by his locker.  He was upset, frustrated, all those other negative things.  Suddenly, Ron Artest barges into the LAKERS locker room (Artest was with the Houston Rockets at the time), and starts telling Kobe, “I can help you!”

Ron got his chance when he signed with the Lakers in 2010.  And man, that crazy lunatic backed every word up.  20 points, a clutch 3 pointer and AMAZING defense on Paul Pierce.

Make no mistake about it, Ron Ron is a head case, but he’s also the reason Lamar Odom is getting another ring this year.  The first few rings he got were diamond engagement rings.  Dude got married.  Just sharing.
