Some nonrelavent random topics!

Well I was searching the forum and I couldnt find any threads that weren't related to fitness training of some sort. While this is a very good thing, as it proves that this forum isn't devolving like many internet fitness forums, I think there should be a thread of just sharing random facts about ourselves. We're all brothers (or for the females that may frequent the forum, sisters) in fitness after all!

So..... what's everyone's favorite band? Haha

Going through a bit of a Foo Fighters revival at the moment. You forgot to tell us yours

George.

modest mouse, pixies & neutral milk hotel

sometimes not the greatest for working out but they're awesome

Oops, haha I did. I'm so indecisive, I have around 7 X[

Nirvana

30 Seconds to Mars

The White Stripes

Pearl Jam

Mindless Self Indulgence

Choking Victim

Of all of them MSI and Choking Victim are the only bands I can really work out to, because the others don't have fast enough tempos. Nirvana is still my favorite... even though grunge is dead. =[

Early punk,ska and some newer stuff, and some alternative rock.Black flag, Rise Against, Streetlight Manifesto, Strike Anywhere etcc.

A few of my favorite bands are -

Spear of Destiny

Mansun

Babybird

Sisters of Mercy

Talk Talk

Kula Shaker

I love both early punk and ska. Hot Topic as almost completely killed the true punk genre though, which makes me sad.

well i have lots of bands and singers from a range of genres:

-rise against

-linkin park

-ray charles (oww yes that's right 8) )

-green day

-rem

-red hot chilli peppers

-rolling stones

-blink 182

-sum 41

-coldplay

-hiltop hoods

-fatboy slim

yeah its a lot but that's just me. It's funny some of these make sound quite old when I'm probably the youngest member (14)

Hey Ed,

Good music is good music whenever it was written!

I have a confession to make. Following all this music talk, I ploughed through my MP3 collection, feeling all nostalgic, and stumbled upon an album I bought last year...

Iron Maiden - Live After Death :oops:

...reminded me of my teenage years. The most embarrassing thing was; I still knew the words

George.

Lol, get in touch with your inner child George

Radiohead

Queens of the Stone Age

Miles Davis

Pink Floyd

How about everyone's favorite movie?

the gymnast, eraserhead, garden state, eternal sunshine for the spotless mind, donnie darko, fight club, supertroopers

Dude ...you forgot yours again!

No one all-time favourite, but I really enjoyed:

> Leon

> Se7en

> LOTR trilogy

> Bourne trilogy

> Fist of Legend

> The Departed

> Forrest Gump

> Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

...this could be a really long list. I really want to see these again now!

Hmmm... 300, Armageddon, The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, Indiana Jones Trilogy... I could list a bunch of movies that I think are great. I used to go to the movies all the time, but not that much anymore. I've cut back a lot in the last 2 years or so!

Last one I saw at the theater was Jumper: cool effects but story and especially ending could've been better.

Of those that are out right now, I'm interested in seeing: 10,000 B.C., Doomsday, and possibly Never Back Down. (If you can't tell already... I'm an ACTION nut!)

well like my music taste my movies vary and are great in number, they are:

- all bruce lee movies (i've got the box set and enter the dragon) 8)

- south park movie

- lock, stock and two smoking barrels

- mad max 1 & 2

- the matrix

- forest gump

- the great escape

- we were soldiers

- monty python's meaning of life and life of brian

- terminator

- lotr

- bothehood of the wolf (awesome french martial arts/action/period movie)

- travis pastrana and the nitro circus (not a conventional movie, its like crusty demons but a bit different in number 3 he does a double backflip on motorbike (1st one ever)

- lots of others

also favourite shows are:

- scrubs

- futurama

- the simpsons (really just the old episodes)

- king of the hill

- the shield (absolute best cop show)

- deadwood

- south park

there thats all

:shock:

Haha twice.. sad. My favorite movies are Requiem for a Dream, The Protector (goes by Warrior King in England I believe), Fearless, Mysterious Skin, The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things (also my favorite book), Serenity, V for Vendetta and The Nightmare Before Christmas. Odd list I know. As fore tv shows, I like Criss Angel's show, and Scrubs,and anything History Channel.

- futurama (the movie)

- band of brothers (mini series)

- still probably more

I forgot about Ongbak. That movie was really radd. Lol flaming pants

Favourite Sports and Teams

this post has halted for a bit so I thought I'd give it bit of a nudge so what's everyone's favorite sports and their favorite teams and even players?

personally some of my favorite sport's are (with the players from the sports):

- rugby, players Jona Lomu, George Gregan, Daniel Carter, Richie Macaw, Loti Tuqiri, George Smith

-gymnastics, no particular gymnasts (beijing should be great)

-motorbike riding)

1)mx/sx (motocross/supercross)- chad reed, james 'bubba' stewart, ricky carmicheal, travis pastrana

2)freestyle motocross- travis pastrana, robbie maddison, schuie

3) stunt riding and trials- christian pfeiffer

That's about it for me, I'm guessing this'll get a few responses.

Thread still in need of revival ...unless it's past saving!? :shock:

Since I am unable to eat at the moment due to illness, I thought it would be a great idea to obsess about food!

Favourite Food!

I'm torn between:

> Christmas Dinner, with all the trimmings

> Shepherd's Pie

Let's finish that off with homemade Apple Pie and Custard!

I am sooo hungry!

Cheers,

George.

I think I will try to help keep the thread alive.

Favorite sports and players:

Rugby:All Blacks and Jonah Lomu(goes without saying really)

...wonder if this is the cause of those few extra pounds??? :roll:

I haven't done much on this forum on a while. Hmmm.. my favorite sports are basically full contact or other such hardcore martial arts where two people beat eachother savagely until one submits or passes out. Aside from that I also enjoy surfing and skateboarding now and again. As for foods, I love fish. Any fish. Ok what are everyone's hobbies when not training? I go to ska, punk, hardcore, ect. shows whenever possible.
