It’s 3:30 in the morning, I am alone all weekend.

[Metalhead]

I seriously need more of a life. I wish my gym was still open 24 hours, but that got changed during the pandemic. I need to get the hell out of my head, for there nothing but insanity lingers.

I need solutions, not venting.

I want to escape my skin and be a new man.

Alone all weekend? That sounds like heaven. Actually, that's how I spend most of mine. I even have a home-gym like people used to do in the olden days

Are you an extrovert, perhaps? I don't know what that's like, but it certainly sounds interesting.

Personally being alone for a weekend is a dream for me. Sorry you're have a rough time. As for the gym not being open 24/7 have you ever looked into at home body weight / calisthenics routines? It'll give you a great workout and at least for a time help your mind. Get some of those good endorphins pumping in your brain.

You can do physical things at home too. You just need some resistance belts, some weights to lift, and some music to pump you up. And you can also do stretches before and after the workout, it feels good as well.

Yeah, I have a set of dumbbells here, but I do not know which YouTube videos I should trust for workout routines or which ones give horrible advice. I heard stories of people really screwing themselves up by not using weights properly.

That's where calisthenics and body weight exercises are great. And trust me you'll get a great workout that way without weights. And it's just safer all around. I've spent years in and out of gyms and these days I'm not going back to the weights. Well not more than than the 5-35lbs dumbbells I have at home. Now my focus is on flexibility and core strength. The things they warn us to start working on early so it doesn't get us in old age.

It doesn’t help that I am feeling a sugar crash. I had a large fountain Mountain Dew a couple of hours ago in a moment of weakness. My brain is telling me that was a massive mistake.

Maybe in the solitude you might feel like doing a new movie review? Or a spontaneous adventure - take a bus to a new town/city and have a look around? Have you ever tried meetups in your area? How about trying a brand new recipe for a delicious meal?

I think action and subsequent tiredness can help with not getting too stuck in your thoughts and your past.

I'd like to see a movie review as well. We need a new forum thread "Metalhead at the Movies" @Metalhead looks like you've got some homework.

We have one!

Thread 'I am going to post some of my film reviews in this thread.'

Apr 22, 2022

I am looking for constructive criticism here. I want to be a decent writer when it comes to spoiler-free film reviews. And here, I will only post the reviews where I felt no need to add swearing to them, to abide by the forum rules.

And here is one review right off the bat.

The Batman (2022)

Grade – 4.5 / 5

Rating – PG-13

Length – 176 Minutes


I am here to report that even though he was directed to be way too moody to be a proper Bruce Wayne, Robert Pattinson turned out to be the most vicious Batman to date. He was very convincing in his...

I think I will do that.

My gym opens in an hour. After some cardio there, I think I will make myself a breakfast sandwich and work on a movie review.

Thank you kindly for drawing my attention to this. After I get done my groceries and other errands in town this morning I'll be looking forward to checking this out.

It really is up to me to show myself the love that everybody in my family is pathologically incapable of showing me. One day at a time. One step at a time.

Yes, I learned to do it this year, and I'm sure you'll master it soon as well. Wishing you all the best.

Well, I think I discovered the source of this bout of self pity. I have developed a head cold. Not the end of the world. I just ordered some NyQuil, Mucinex and chicken soup.

 

[Metalhead]

So there will be no new film review today as the NyQuil has kicked my ass. But at least the headache and the congestion has gone down considerably.
