Darude was amazing. 3 hours of DJing, including: trance remixes of “Stomp to my Beat,” “I Ran (So Far Away)” and “Teen Spirit,” drops of “In The Darkness” “Rush” and “Music,” and using the original “Smack My Bitch Up” as a transition. I got to shake Darude’a hand. What an awesome guy!

Fission Mucking Accomplished

I think the pics say it all. I’ve lost the 70lbs I set out to lose in January.

So from here, it’s about keeping healthy habits, keeping up my running, DDR (I’m coming for you, Paranoia Survivor Max) and weights. I think I can lose more, but I’m not desperate right now. My main goal is sustainability.

Thanks to mom, for finding and helping me get on the right diet; dad & the rest of the fam for encouragement and support; my friends, for all their help + aid; and to c25k.com for teaching me to run… several times.

To say that many male characters are brawny in video games is an understatement. Often enough, characters like Marcus Fenix of Gears of War and War of Darksiders can be described as “bulky”. These are mountains of men that, much like Superman or Frank Miller’s vision of the Batman, demonstrate that the masculine is all about strength, ridiculous levels of strength. Both of the aforementioned characters go well beyond even the most steroid-infused fantasies of bodybuilding success. These guys make Schwarzenegger look like a girly man.

Why Reddit loves flossdaily

I used to live a life with no regrets, but then, for a very long time I allowed myself to be consumed by them. Regret generally comes down to a simple idea: Your life is stuck a point A, and you feel that if you had done something differently in past, right now you would be at point B instead. Regret is particularly painful when you believe that no path now exists between point A and point B.
The two things you have to remember are:
1) There is no guarantee that you would have wound up at point B even if you had acted differently in the past. Point B is largely a fiction. Think of that poor bastard who used to be a drummer for the Beatles, but left the band before they ever hit it big. I’m sure he regretted that like crazy. But consider this: If he had stayed with the band, maybe they never would have made it big. There are a million ingredients that made them the legends they are… who knows what twists of fate would never have happened if that drummer had stuck around?
And 2) Sure, Point B looks nice from here, but nothing is actually as perfect as your perfect imagining of it. Plenty of people get chronically depressed after achieving things that other people can only dream of, like tons of money, or marrying a sex icon.
So here’s what you do: Make a list of concepts- things you want in your life that aren’t specific and material. So if you’re regretting a lost love named Becky, you don’t write down “Becky”, you write down “love”, got it? So once you have the list of things you want- all the things you dreamed were waiting for you at point B… well you just work to get all those attributes in your life from new and different sources. Someday you might wind up at point C, which has all those things…
But don’t count on it. Life is about the journey more than the goal. If you have everything you want, what will you dream about?

Does anyone have any advice on how to stop regretting stuff? : AskReddit
