Dana Carney
1. I’ve got a thing for hot, smart women. Dana Carney’s research on non-verbal communication, social dominance and “snap†judgments is groundbreaking stuff. Add a Harvard degree and some blonde hair, and you pretty much have a person I could talk to for hours. (I just so happen to have an interview in the works with her. Lucky me!)
2. Training with a group of like-minded guys is one of the best ways I know of to achieve a great body, have a lot of fun, and be held accountable. They spot you during heavy lifts, give helpful cues, and even call you a pussy if you’re acting like one. Great for the gym and for your self-esteem! Thanks guys…
3. I just can’t bring myself to drink the shitty beer most guys my age drink. Don’t get me wrong; I love a good Miller Lite every now and then. But if I’m going to have a beer, I want to indulge. My choice? The 60 Minute IPA from DogFish Head Brewery. It’s a bit more expensive - around 10 bucks for a six-pack – but well worth the cost.
4. What’s worse than feeling like you’re going to throw up after a set of barbell complexes? Not having anything to wash down that vomit feeling with, that’s what! Biotest’s Surge Post Work-out Drink is an absolute must-have for anyone serious about getting the most out of their weight-training program. It’s the perfect blend of high-quality protein and carbs that tastes great. (I stick to the Original flavor, myself.) Have ½ a serving before your workout, ½ during, and a full serving afterward.
What kinds of things are making you happy right now?

Good list. I'm currently enjoying:
1. Sam Adams beer
2. That Lollipop song by Lil Wayne. It's addicting!
3. Dumbbell Bench Presses. I've been doing barbell for too long.
4. Calvin and Hobbes comics. I picked up one of the books when I saw you recommended it. It's awesome and a good way to unwind.
The dogfish head stuff is good stuff, Nate. I live in Delaware (where it's brewed), and I toured the brewery a year ago.
My quick list:
1. The New rules of lifting
2. my brand new Ipod Touch

Yum, yum.

I respect your beer choices. I too cannot drink shitty beer (I'm 22). My choice is usually a darker, sweeter brew with some fruity hints, but I'm way into the summer seasonals right now.
Beers you should try: Ringwood brewery "Old Thumper" (english ale, nice floral aroma and taste, should be similar to your 60 minute IPA, but probably more balanced and less hoppy tastes), Left Hand "Deep Cover Brown Ale" (best american brown ale? Dark, nice roasted malt flavor and some hints of a dark fruity taste), Redhook "Sunrye" (great summer seasonal).
1.) Google-- I'm am increasing amazed by the cool, free things they offer. Reader? Awesome. Gmail? keeps getting better the more I learn how to use it. Docs? amazing.
2.) Actually saving money (thanks dave ramsey and personal finance blogs)
3.) Guitar. Have to learn a few Beatles tunes for solo guitar for a wedding. Very fun.
4.) sucking at any form of pressing movement. Can't seem to get stronger, or it takes a while at least. I'll figure it out eventually.
1. New business ideas are flowing - the thought of doing something new that could potentially make a lot of money and help people is very exciting!
2. Just like Christopher above, the summer seasonals and the great weather make a nice combo
3. A new workout routine thats busting me out of a rut
4. Summer
1. Power Yoga
2. Double Haul IPA from Kettlehouse...but I am definitely up for trying a new IPA...
3. The fact that I have never been so broke in my life and never happier either
1. Jumping Rope for my cardio
2. Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue cologne
3. Total Body Conditiong/Push-Pull routines
4. Post Workout drink: 100 % Whey by ON Bananna flavor mixed with 4 tblsp Cherry flavor Kool Aide Mix (for the sugar/simple carbs). It's off.......the.......chain. Tastes great
1. The Sun!
2. Totally rocking out to every and any kind of music.
3. Traveling.... I wish I could do more. Anyone up for a road trip?
4. Being spontaneous..... yay!
1) music--new Slipknot is awesome
2) kiteboarding--had a killer weekend riding waves in mid July. yes it was that windy there were waves in Minnesota.
3) Friends and family--always great to see them when I can
4) garage gym--even though I've had it for awhile now, it is amazing to walk out my door, invite some people or clients over, crank the metal and lift. Given my crazy schedule, the amount of time it saves is also unreal.
Good stuff here!
