In that time I’ve gone from a 218lb mess to a 165lb fitness addict.  I want to show people that this sort of transformation is possible and I want to inspire/help them along their own journey.  I think that in our modern hyper-capitalist society we are dehumanized into believing that we have no control over our situations and that this concept ties over from our political sphere to our domiciles and right down to our own body images and self worth.  WELL IT’S TIME TO TAKE IT BACK!  I don’t want to stress judgement, we all start somewhere, but rather encouragement. You can do this, We can do this!</description><title>Get Ripped &amp; Rip The System</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @getrippedandripthesystem)</generator><link>http://getrippedandripthesystem.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>came home to this cuddle party.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“I respectfully remind you sir, that we have been the most patient of all people.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-Letter from Jackie Robinson to President Eisenhower of May 13, 1958&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After he retired from Major League Baseball, Jackie Robinson went on to champion the cause of civil rights from his position as a prominent executive of the Chock Full o’Nuts Corporation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Robinson had grown increasingly impatient with what he regarded as President Eisenhower’s failure to act decisively in combating racism. In this letter dated May 13, 1958, he expresses his frustration and calls upon the President to finally guarantee Federal support of black civil rights.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Build a new life. #friendsarecool #everythingtarget #dogschillhard (at Flexfield Avenue)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Thanks to everyone who has donated to our fire fund. We got ourselves some new sheets, comforter, etc. And we also got some ikea furniture.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Ya know, grownup stuff.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;We’re slowly but surely trying to get rid of that chemical-ish firey smell out of the clothes and other things we salvaged.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;BUT SERIOUSLY FRIENDS ARE THE BEST, SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE THAT WILL HELP YOU LIKE THIS IN TIMES OF NEED!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;




For Real,  I can’t believe the power of social networks.  Tumblr really stepped up and helped us out.  Thanks to all of your donations we’ve got ourselves a new place to live, some new furniture, and I’ve got a new gym membership at a hardcore gym within a reasonable drive from the new digs.  Seriously I don’t even have words.  To have your house burn down and not even have to miss one training session during your contest prep. If I place at my show in June it’s a victory for all of us.  The show of support that tumblr gave us fills me with awe at the power of our community.  I love you all.  I mean that as sincerely as possible.</description><link>http://getrippedandripthesystem.tumblr.com/post/49942071643</link><guid>http://getrippedandripthesystem.tumblr.com/post/49942071643</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 May 2013 13:04:49 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>As I Lay Dying Singer Arrested For Hiring A Hitman TO KILL HIS WIFE WAIT HOLY SHIT WHAT?</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.jadedpunk.com/post/49903766778/as-i-lay-dying-frontman-tim-labesis-arrested-for-hiring" class="tumblr_blog" target="_blank"&gt;jadedpunk&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
