NORM! (An Introduction Post)
Hi, My name is Mark, I live in Michigan USA, and I love a good full bodied beer. (The hopier the better!) I also home brew (Still on kits right now, but hope to go all grain next Spring) I noticed that alcohol on the forums takes a pretty bad rap and the people that enjoy it are often accused of being useless drunks and…

Knock, Knock, Knock...
This is, without a doubt, the least active group I'm a member of. Oh well... Here let me post something and maybe in a month or two someone will respond. ;-) Anyone see Noah the movie yet? I love how it is pissing off all the "christians" I actually enjoyed it. It was a decent Sci/Fy Action adventure movie.

Lifting Question
Hey all, I have been doing SL 5x5 off and on for close to a year now. (I am also trying to lose a fair amount of weight) Unfortunately, because of my bad habits, and lazy ways... I have yet to completely finish one whole session. I will go good for a number of weeks and then slack off for a period of time and then come…

Would you let this man give you a Massage?
LOL, I mean come on... WTH, were these people thinking? I would have taken one look at this guy and then promptly would have turned around and left. SMH. http://fox17online.com/2014/01/30/massage-therapist-sentenced-for-inappropriate-touching/#axzz2rvPXMQCF

Music
I just posted in a forum thread about internet radio (itunes, pandora, etc...) and shared my preference, which is songza.com. It's a great service with great app and features, and it's free. So I highly recommend checking it out. I predict you will dump any other free service you currently use. Now as for it being…

Beer Festivals
How many of you attend or try to attend local or larger beer festivals every year. There are so many of them that it gets impossible to hit them all. (even just locally!) I try to go to one I have never been to at least once a year. I almost made it to GABF last year but life interrupted and said no. Maybe next year. I am…

Any Home Brewers?
I home brew with a friend in his garage. We are currently still doing kits, but we hope to go all grain this spring. I live in Michigan and his garage isn't heated so we haven't brewed for a bit. We are just nursing two 5 gallon batches we did a couple months ago. An IPA that we put on Pineapple and a Holiday Spice Ale. We…

I don't care what anyone says... This man is a shill and maybe even verging on evil. Watch this: http://youtu.be/CzUNmt0tvd8 At one point they actually say that this substance increases lean muscle mass! Unbelievable what they will say and people will believe. (SMH...)

Beer and Craft Beer (Humor)
Stumbled across this blog post http://www.thebeersnob.com/2010/07/28/beer-and-craft-beer-the-differences-explained/ and while it was meant to be some serious thoughts on the differences. I thought it was also a good start to having some fun with words. How else could you explain the difference? Maybe... Beer is what…

Brew/Beer Themed Tattoo
I'm seriously thinking about getting a tattoo in the future when I reach my desired weight / fitness goal. I do not currently have any, nor do I suspect I will want to get a bunch more, but I would like to give myself a permanent reminder of how I was successful and that I never want to go back to how I was before... Now…
