ASK TREESHIP whats your favorite gilmore girls episode

it's amazing and i can't really afford it. there's a pool, for one, which i appreciate. personal trainer appointment is included every six weeks to tweak your program according to your progress and goals. every four months a cute nurse will take your body composition using a machine so you can get a more nuanced sense of your progress than just height and weight would provide. or at least the one i had for my initial consultation was cute. there are all kinds of fitness classes that i should take advantage of but don't because i've just been coming straight home after work and drinking beer the past few weeks.

exercise for me requires a certain mindset -- being "pumped up", or in the moment enough to be able to push through difficult patches -- which feels really unnatural for me most of the time. that's the biggest hurdle.

give me your thoughts on that

i find the element of masculine competition in the gym helps me. like that broscience canard about prisoners gaining muscle in spite of poor diet and poor training because of elevated testosterone due to being surrounded by men + masculine competition. i'm definitely looking at who else is lifting what, trying not to make it obvious.

watch frank yang videos before going to gym

i find it useful to meditate on the failure & destruction of my enemies during a workout

Note to self: make enemies.

happy birthday Treeship and Hitler

sparking one up for treesh

HOLY SHIT CRUT AINT LYIN HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOMIE

breithlá sona duit a treesh

Somethin like that

The emergence of christ from the tomb
While handled no doubt with aplomb
Is less cause for noise
Than that of my boys
Adolf H & treesh from the womb

it's a banner day for christians
their fave magician's up again
but hereabouts we rather fete
one treezy (live) and adolf (late)
judge not these books tho by their covers
both vegetarian dog lovers
one's just a naif blogger patsy
the other guy's a full-on nazi
so tho the day it somewhat crosses
with catholic and stasi bosses
let's make this one about tao lin
to please our second favourite finn

happy bday smoke a fattie

now some things, if they're rotten
they leave traces (like burnt toast)
adolf with his waffen
eric harris' let-down ghost
these things aren't merely memories
they're powerful for reezy
that's why every year on this day i
thank god for weed and treezy

Thanks for the bday wishes and poems y'all.

Treeship, what is your favourite situation comedy?

The US Office, definitely. Michael Scott is a very rich, very convincing character IMO.

good answer treezy

Interesting! I like it, but I'm always a bit surprised by the extent of ppl's love for it.

treezy do you ever feel you are too earnest for this jaded world?

^

isn't the 'new sincerity' a thing now?

what's between it and the old emo

clear-eyed no romanticism can't lose?

new sincerity has BEEN a thing & we had enough convos about treezy's level of sincerity last year, ilx 2013 kinda embarrassed itself with endless earnest debate about whether t was too earnest

new earnest debate was 2013?

treezy pulled it off, as did other ILX characters.

how's tricks, tree?

xp wrt treesh it was, & to be fair it was probably only like a month last year, but all month, on every thread, and just super lame like u felt hands were being literally wrung

my question was not about treezy's level of sincerity, it was about his self-reflection about that level vis a vis our grim jaded world. it was a question for the heart.

^ilx has heart problems, though

xp fair enough just felt like old material to me

that is ilx's problem. here one speaks directly into the heart of the treeship.

hands will have been wrung all over the site since imma say 2009

^you're being generous

its my nature tbh

i've gone through a lot of corny phases in my life, j. please don't go back and read my responses to similar questions nakh asked me last year.

treesh do u have any opinions on the music of richard wagner

no, but i enjoy the music of Bathory and have assumed i could get the gist from that. which performance of which piece by wagner should i listen to on spotify?

treesh: how do you feel about the baroque movement? and rococo?

where do you put james joyce? in what category?

idk if it is available there, but anything with the tristan prelude & liebestod
if you can get this lp in particular than do it

Where did Treeship go?

to the men's rights thread

Oh okay.

Thank you.

I was starting to miss him

still posts fairly regularly I think, just not quite at the rate of his peak output

<3

treesh what is the most hateful sincere opinion about any subject that you have ever encountered? (flagrantly inflammatory, hateful or discriminatory opinions excluded)
