    And why would you think that?

    Steroids would cause more harm than good. Anything that doesn't require effort usually doesn't work without side effects.

          cuz you're a tank. You just look unnaturally big. That's all, i know people who take roids, you look like them. Also just cuz you're taking roids, doesn't mean you just sit there, pump up and do nothing. People who take roids usually have a hardcore workout routine accompying the drugs.

              Rofl....

              Well I guess i'll take that as a compliment.

              The only 'roids' im on are food, and weights. I workout twice a week. Am I really that big looking? I know i'm muscular but never thought someone would assume that XD

              Hell, I don't even take protien supplements or vitamins. I only workout for like 30 minutes too. Anyone who can do more isn't lifting right or is on 'roids' anyway. :P

                I don't know, you're always sitting in your pics, maybe if you're like 6'3 or something, you look natural, but from what i've seen, man, i could barely get you in a choke hold.

                  Wow...I didn't think I looked that big. Maybe i'm used to looking at myself. o_O lol

                  I'm only 5'11. I'm not even that heavy...though i'm easily the strongest person I know my age, height and weight. I can out power guys that are like 6'2 weighing in like 220 XD but I worked at it...

                  I figure im not even gaining that fast at the moment anyway due to the fact my bodys still growing a bit.

                    Man, i'm in a situation where I need some motivation. I'm faced with a problem:

                    Stay where I live now, a shitty county with little or no hopes of getting a job, or to move basically across the continent for summer, and live with my uncle and work in the forestry industry, to make money.

                    I know it sounds really cool, but its weird. I guess I have a huge sense of security at home, and to just actually go somewhere really far away without any real reminders of home seems well...... scary.

                    Am I just being paranoid? I know this will be a great experience if I do it, but I still am allowed to be nervous right? Any ideas about what could motivate me to make up my damn mind? I need to know pretty quick, like in the next two weeks. Any help would be much appreciated guys.

                      Major changes always make people nervous, so don't worry. I might have a bit of aid to give on this subject; I used to spend my summers doing forestry a few thousand miles from home. If I were you I would go do the forestry. It may seem like a loss of security by leaving what you know, but trust me, it can be one of the greatest experiences you'll ever have. Depending on what type of work you do, you'll probably come back with very useful woodworking skills and/or a nice tan and great muscles. Once you actually arrive there, you won't feel very nervous. It's only before you leave and when you are travelling that people feel nervous. After a few days you will feel nice and comfortable, just like home. You will be experiencing many new things and still feel secure. And according to you, there is nothing to lose. The only thing you need to overcome is the initial nervousness. The choice is to stay where you are and be unemployed or stay with your Uncle and feel comfortable while experiencing tons of new things? Don't pass up this chance, it's one that few people ever get and I don't think you'll regret going. However, I do think you'll always regret passing it up. It's not like there is anything to lose.

                        if it will better your life in the long run then go for it. I was given the oppertunity in my school district to go in a special program for the academically talented, only about 60 are allowed to attend each year. The work is tough, the tests are very challenging, homework isn't that bad but requires lots of time and attention to get done right, you have to go to a seperate building for half of every school day and you actually have seven hours of classes instead of eight.

                        ...I took the offer, and I'm very glad I did. Students in this program can take classes not offered anywhere else in the district and take classes like chemistry and calculus a year or two before others are even given the option. You also have the chance to recieve some scholarships and have a better chance of getting in collage if you do well in the program.

                        The point I'm trying to make is that though you may not like it now, taking that job might make it all worth while in the long run. Maybe not in the near future but I'm pretty sure that when you start getting into your job, you'll be like me and realize that though you have to make some sacrifices now, you made the right choice for your life will get better when it's all done.

                          well L&D I for one am a work out freak! ok...and when i was in 9th grade i decided to play high school football mainly because my parents forced me too and over the entire summer i hated working out because i was sore and i didnt know anyone..So what im trying to say is have a work out partner to help motivate you and yourself. Trust me it really works and is more fun if you have a good friend there. i have been liftin for about 3 years now and i get motivated even hearing it now i love it so much and you really should start..plus girls like a little muscle on us guys..

                            peers. love. curiosity just to name a few.

                            To look at it an animals way though, they live... to live. For the joy of live. They eat, they drink, they find shelter, they make babies, and they live. No-one has any purpose in life other than what they give themselves. So you can do it that way. Live, survive, make babies (cough, hack, cough) and live just for the sake of living.

                            But others want things from you. They want things to make their own life easier, so they set standards for the "lesser" sheep-like people to follow, to make them think they have a purpose. They strive for these standards, like becoming fit or making lots of money, for the amusement and/or profit of those above you. Thats another motivator. To be a sheep and only follow, not lead.

                            Last, and probably the foremost motivation for humans today is curiosity. We will sit and think for hours on end because a question puzzles them. Look at those dudes that are trying to prove pi has an end. They have made it their lifes ambition to discover all of that number. No-one will ever pay them to do so, and no-one will probably recognize their efforts. They do it for the sake of sating their curiosity. That is why we even discuss these things. Because we are curios about our surroundings, and wish to know more simply for the sake of knowing. That is what we should all be motivated by. The world would be much better if everyone lived like that.

                              Lesson 1 in economy. Incentives Matter. That's all Econ is about. Why do seatbelts kill? People know they are safer so they drive faster. Safety is an incentive to drive recklessly. If we had no seatbelts and a giant spear coming outof the drive shaft, we'd all drive slowly and carefully. We have the incentive to drive slowly for fear of our life. All you have to do is find the right incentive and you have a market. Ahhh, the joys of being an economist's son.
