Why Would You Wear Sunglasses at the Gym?

So I’m at the gym today, and I saw at least 2 guys wearing sunglasses while they were working out.

What’s up with that?

Are they trying to check out girls and don’t want to be seen doing it?  Or worse, are they checking out guys and don’t want to be seen doing it?

It’s weird enough to wear sunglasses inside, but if you wear them in the gym I can only think of a few reasons other than the two above:

• You just had an eye exam but didn’t want to miss your workout (not likely)
• You think you’re cool (you’re really not, sorry)
• You think you’re some kind of poker king and forgot to take them off

I mean seriously, why would you do that? Can you tell I’m baffled???

Car Lose It’s AC?

I don’t know about where you live, but around here it has been HOT the last couple of days.  I can’t imagine what I’d do without my AC running.  So I hope that none of you are driving around in a car without air conditioning!

If you are, you can get a better or newer ac compressor to fix your problems.  For example, if you drive a Ford you can get a Ford ac compressor from DiscountACParts.com to make your life a whole lot nicer when it comes to driving around in the summer heat.

These guys also carry BMW or Mercedes AC compressors, or really anything else you might need.  So stop the suffering and get your car fixed already!

I No Longer Have a ‘Favorite Band’

I remember back in high school, I always had a favorite band.  For the most part, it was always Queensryche, Dream Theater, Led Zeppelin, or Collective Soul.  As you can tell, it would change from time to time.

But just last night my wife and I were talking about music and what my or her favorite band was, and I realized that I don’t have one anymore.  I have certain bands that I really like their music, but it’s no longer just one.  It’s different types, and it depends on my mood.

So I’m wondering if the whole ‘favorite band’ thing isn’t really just a glorified high school concept.  And the more I think about it I would have to say that it is.  Instead, it is so much better to just have certain types of music that you like to listen to.

So my advice, don’t limit yourself to one band.  Branch out and learn to appreciate other types of music.  Though I do have to admit that I can’t find an appreciation for rap, most R&B, or country…

Making Your Skin Look Good

Have you noticed that everyone is trying to look younger these days?  There are so many skin creams, anti-aging creams, and all sorts of products on the market to help you reach that goal.  So, with all the many skin care products on the market, it is important to get quality stuff.

That’s what a company like iDerma comes in. They offer all sorts of scientifically advanced skin care products, and some of their selected brands are recommended by leading dermatologists and beauty experts.  So if you’re trying to look younger, check them out!

Tucanos

Today for lunch I went with my department to Tucanos Brazilian Grill.  Apparently this is mainly just a Utah restaurant (they only have 3 locations, 2 in Utah and 1 in New Mexico).  But man is it good food!  Another restaurant that is basically the same thing is Rodizio Grill (they only have 2 locations, one in Salt Lake City and the other in Denver).

So here’s the basic idea: you have a salad bar, and then you have guys coming around with different types of meat.  You get whatever you want from the salad bar, and then you sit at your table and whenever they bring a meat that you’re interested in, they cut some off for you.

What could be better?!  So next time you’re in Utah, check this place out!  It’s good food, no doubt about that.

Who Has Time for a Massage?

To be completely honest, I’ve never had a real massage.  I’ve had my wife give me a short massage from time to time, but I’ve never had one done by a professional.

I have had massages done by different chairs though.  Not sure if that really counts, but sometimes that the best you can do with a busy schedule right?  One thing I’ve found though is that some of those chairs seem to cause more pain than anything else.  I think this falls into the category of “You get what you pay for.”

Well, I came across some information about a bed called the Takemi Jade Vista 5000 Massage Bed. Now this thing sounds pretty cool. It uses some special infrared light and other things to really get into the deep tissues of your body. I’d love to try one of these things out!

The Dark Knight - Just Plain Awesome

So over the weekend my wife and I and her friends in Idaho went to a showing of The Dark Knight.  Now, if you’ve been reading this blog you know that I’ve been excited to go see this one for some time now, and I was extra excited when we had the chance to see it opening weekend!

This movie rocks.  It’s everything that you would want to see in the Joker vs. Batman saga.  I know when I first heard that Heath Ledger was going to be the Joker I wasn’t too thrilled about it, in fact I thought it was going to kill the movie.  And I know that I’m not the only person that thought that.  In fact, this morning on a radio show the main guy said he felt the same thing.

But man….Heath Ledger plays one creepy creepy Joker.  He played it perfectly if you ask me!  So he definitely proved a lot of us out there wrong!

One thing that I really appreciated about this movie is that it really could have been a whole lot more graphic.  But they didn’t take it that way.  They didn’t put in all the extra gore that a lot of movies would.  We knew when the joker would have cut a smile on someone’s face, but they didn’t show it.  They didn’t need to.  And that is one of the things that made this movie great.  They focused on the story of what was going on, not the stupid gore.

Anyway, great movie.  I’ll need to go see it again sometime, and if you haven’t seen it yet you should highly consider it!

Feel the Need for Speed!

Are you the kind of guy that loves to go fast?  I’m not much of a car guy, but I can still appreciate a really nice ride.  I’ll see theses decked out cars driving down the road and honestly, I wouldn’t mind having one!  Especially something with a turbo charger…that would be sweet!

So I came across this site, TurboChargerPros.com, and I’d say that if you’re looking for a way to turbocharge your car, check these guys out.  Just think, if you turbocharged your car you could accelerate quicker to get ahead of some slowpoke on the freeway, or get out of the way of something if you needed to.

Whether you need an Audi turbocharger or Volkswagen turbocharger, these guys can help you out.

Trying to Gain Weight

So I’m going on a new exercise program to actually gain some size.  One of the key things is eating a LOT more food.  This is one area that I never really gave enough attention to, and now that I’m trying to eat a lot more I can see why it makes such a difference!

Just yesterday I went to the gym and did some heavy squats and other things.  Normally I feel like I got some exercise, but for some reason yesterday I felt a real difference.  I don’t know if it was just because I have been eating more so there is more for my cells to work with, but it felt great.

Anyway, there’s an insight into the personal life of Dan and what I’m up to!

If I Could Invest…

Every now and then I get thinking that it would be really great to have a ton of money to just invest in things and then live off the interest or something like that.

Seriously, it would be so great to just live life exactly the way you want.  Now, I’m not naive enough to think that there wouldn’t be any work involved, but much less than a lot of other things I can think of.  I know that my wife and I would definitly do a lot of traveling to cool places.

Well, in order to do something like this you would probably need a few things to make it happen: an advisor you can trust, a private banking accounts manager you can trust, etc. It just wouldn’t happen on its own. I should probably learn more so I can start on my journey!
