Out-Monster the Monster

Shout out to Christian Thibaudeau

Shout-out to T-Nation.

I'm working on my project and working out like crazy.  The general approach expressed in Six-Weeks to Superhero influences my daily workouts.  

Friedrich Nietzsche asked is it better to out-monster the monster or be quietly devoured?  

"Sometimes, what the world needs isn't another hero.  Sometimes, what it needs is a MONSTER."

  

My life is a testament to that part of a man which wills him (itself) to be something greater than himself in order to climb or crawl or cry or curse or CRUSH his way out of hell.   I am the main character in a novel if Nietzsche conveyed his ideas as Ayn Rand did.  I have been brought to the brink of what a man can take without giving up and giving in.  During my fall, which was precipitated, hastened, deepened and prolonged by those who should have been there helping me fly.

In the pit of hell, I found my true friends:  Robert Greene, Dr. HAHA Lung, and the legends they wrote about.  It has been said that Zen masters have tortured their students on the path to enlightenment.  In a twisted, beautiful way, I feel that this has occurred with me - as if my life is some sort of dark experiment being conducted by the gods.  Job from the bible, Part II.  Same players though.  God.  Satan.  Christ.  But in this story, they're more creative.

Nietzsche's involved to.  Probably the most important mortal in the tale.  Then there's Ayn Rand.  Robert J. ringer.  And Robert Greene.  And Dr. HAHA Lung.  Truth has a ring to it, doesn't it??? 

I have been traumatized by Mother Earth's waterboarding of me, but you learn important lessons at the bottom.  You learn that you ain't no real muafuckin' hustler unless you can lose it all and win it all back times a hundred motherFUCKING TRILLION.

You learn that all you need is the right people to be there for you at the right time to get back up.  You learn that all of the love you need is inside of yourself, built up positive feelings based entirely on your motherfuckin' awesomeness.


I learned that no matter how great you did, people will forget and lose respect.

Yous stupid fuckin' fucks really, truly underestimated the wrong person.
