Where's FLo been?
Well, there isn't much activity on the site today. I am bored and have not much to do and I'm buzzed to the point that I am not improving at my current falsetta. I thought I'd update you all on why we have not heard from Flo much lately. Here is a photo from this week of him with his new friends. No wonder we have not heard much from him.

Yeah, I can'timagine what inspires them to want to look like that. Obviously they are driven though and are very proud of themselves. Plus FLorian really likes it. That in itself is motivation enough for some.
It has been awhile since we had a photoshop thread, there have been so many funny ones.(IMO)

well i assume they dont really look like that in real life..thats a combination of lighting, oil, and cutting down and fasting just before the competition so that the muscles look really cut, the vains popping out is the flexing and lighting and many pump up exercises they did backstage just before they came on..most of the time they just look bigger and bulkier but not as bad and as vainy as in this photos ..
if i had to take an uneducated and generalized guess of what posses some people to wanna look like this..i would say "the wanting to be oposite to what they were"
i bet a million bucs most of this people were really skinny or fat or picked on alot in school or very self concious about their bodyes..i am sure theres many other reasons
but almost every guy with muscles ive come across seems to have a story of beeing bullied or fat or self concious about his/her body
anyway its just a uneducated generalization...i could be wrong
Well, not that you're missing me but I am in Amsterdam for the week and it is even better than I remembered. Paris. last week was way too expensive and somewhat ****ty. We're staying in an almighty palace of an apartment that spans three canal houses. I'll post some piccies when I get back. It is awesome.
Ron, those are funny memories. I remember every comic book used to have those same ads in the back.
SImon, That sounds really really cool. I have read reports recentlyabout how Amsterdam is so dirty and crime ridden that nobody wants to go there. It sounds like those reports were inaccurate? It was written by people trying to discourage US from legalizing drugs.
FLorian, You are probably right about the self image stuff. Probably the same as the people who are into wild tatoos and piercing. Some to the point that they don't look human anymore. Oh yeah, and about your "realistic" photo... It looks like your roomate just walked in on you surfing porn and you are hiding the evidence with your guitar.

Ok....that last one is pretty disturbing! Cant imagine what her boyfriend would look like. The gym is supposed to make you look better. It seems madness for an attractive woman to go through years of effort in the gym to look like this.........

Ok this is completely unnecessary but Im sure Flo is going to like it :) If you are going to work out in the gym hopefully you should end up looking something like this perfect fitness model....
