Weekend Rants Just for Fun

 Hey everybody, I'm back for a Saturday post.  Hope your weekend is going great!  This post will just be some musings about random stuff.  Update about my fall yesterday, I'm feeling a little better but still pretty sore.  I haven't seem the X-Rays I had taken yesterday but I think it's pretty clear that I only bruised up the bones in my left hand.  I got lucky I guess.  So, let me get into it!  

As you know I like to workout at the gym, I'm not very good at working out at home since I don't have the equipment at home like I would at the gym.  I do use the machines a lot and I like to use the pulley machine, which is too big to put into my apartment.  Just two of those pulley's is just as big as my apartment is wide so that wouldn't work.  When I go to the gym I don't have a plan set out like a lot of people, like those that have the small notepads or using their phones to keep track of everything.  I am not going for wheelchair bodybuilding, if I was going for that I probably would be keeping notes of everything but I just don't.  I use a pretty simple system at the gym, I do whatever my body tells me I can do and when to take breaks.  Also, I'm really tired of people saying you have to stick to the old rules of weight lifting or training.  You know, things like that you have to do 10 reps per set, you don't need to do that and if your body only wants you to do 5 reps then do 5 reps, just listen to your body as it's smarter at this stuff than you are.  There is not a rep count you have to do, you only need to do one rep and I will do one rep a few times when I am maxing out something like hammer curls or something like that.  So if you have someone around you saying that you have to stick to doing things a certain way, tell them to bugger off and you are fine doing whatever you can.  On a sidenote, I do not ever make fun of someone in the gym, even if it's a guy grabbing a five pound weight, we all started somewhere and it's great that they made it in as a lot of people don't do that.  I do however make fun of people before going in the front doors of the gym because I laugh at the people trying to get the closest parking sport, I always park in the back and takes me about 50 pushes to get to the front door.  You are going to the gym, at least warm your muscles up a little before getting in there by parking a little ways away.  Plus I don't take the handicapped spot most of the time because there are people that need that spot more than myself.  So that's my little rant about gym stuff.

Next I want to talk about something I hate seeing all the time, people standing at the corner begging for money.  I have talked about it before that I had seen a younger woman that was panhandling fold her sign up and hop into a newer car and drove away.  I also remember this story a guy told on the radio about a man doing that up in Kansas City.  The man would go to work at the Ford plant there back in the 70's and after his shift he would go stand at the corner over by Worlds of Fun and said that he would sometimes make over $500 bucks a night.  See, it's those people making it worse for those that are really homeless and really do need help.  For those two reasons I shared with you is the reason I do not get people at the corner a penny because you never know if they are really homeless or not.  I don't want the police to go up and start arresting the people but something does need to get done about this as it's a problem all over the country.  They have done pretty good here by building a veterans home which is really nice but wish it was a little bigger.  I'm not sure all the specifics about the place, like how long you can stay there and how much it is but it's a good gesture.  Some more needs to be done though and I hope things get addressed soon.  

I hate how two sided most politicians are.  Look at Kamala Harris for an example, I don't remember when it was but it was during on of the democrat debates where she basically called Joe Biden an unrepentant racist because he stood by segregationist like Strom Thurmond.  Called him all kinds of names.  And then she said that she believes the women that are accusing Biden of sexual misconduct, backing them.  But when the Joe Biden campaign came calling she "forgot" all that so she could move her career up.  Bad thing is that those two examples I gave you were not that long ago.  For weeks now we haven't heard anything about the woman who accused Biden of pinning her up against a wall and running his hands down her pants.  Guess the left shut her down, they are pretty good at that stuff.  Maybe she will come out as an October surprise or something like that.  It will be very telling if Harris does not resign her seat in the Senate really soon, that signals that she doesn't think Comrade Biden has a chance of winning.  Plus I'm curious, what happens if the person that is picked as the VP decides in a month or so that they do not want the position, how would that work?  Cause I think that's a possibility in this case.  As usual I won't say how I am going to vote but I'm sure you can guess that Biden isn't getting my vote.  

That's it for my ranting, go and enjoy the rest of your weeked.  Take care and stay safe!
