The Animal Pak Journal: I always feel fat and when I work out I feel like a better person...I Love Animal ads this is one of my favorites: "It's cold out there. So lately, I've been spending a lot of time inside, in these three rooms I call home. The kitchen. The bedroom. The living room. These rooms are like the confines of my mind. The kitchen, my Hunger. The bedroom, my Desire. The living room, my Solitude. Three things I have to deal with every single ****ing day. Shit, I spend a lot of time within these places, within my mind. Out in the real world, you can always step outside for a breather. In my head, there's no escape... Not ever. When I meet people, they take one look at me and dismiss me as some stupid, oversized meathead. Someone who doesn't have a thought in his brain. **** that. I've got the opposite problem. I think too much. I dwell on too many things. My mind wanders... Sometimes, I feel trapped... Like the walls are closing in on me. It's suffocating. I wonder if I can keep this up for another seventeen weeks and make it to the end. Some nights, when I'm awake, I imagine that the front door is unlocked... Fear comes a calling. Doubt walks in... Questions howl outside, rattle my windows. But within these three rooms I must remain. Alone with Hunger, Desire, Solitude. I gotta keep driving forward. I gotta keep moving... So when I'm sitting here alone on another night, I tell myself I'm not gonna go ****ing nuts. When I lie in bed, I'm not gonna stay awake. When I eat, I'm not gonna puke... These are the tenants that occupy my mind--the place where I live."

The Animal Pak Journal: Great Reading "WHAT GOES AROUND..." This is for... The bullies who chased me... You strengthened my resolve. The haters who said I’d fail... I am still here. Those who fell to the earth thinking they were the only star above... The night sky is ablaze with lights. My old man... Yeah, this is for the one who not only gave me his name, but more... I’ve felt your hand on my shoulder each day and it has guided me. This is for all those who believed. For eighteen weeks, I have toiled outside of society, on a fixed and lonely path. Now, I have come full circle, back to where I started. Here... This place. Yeah, life is like that. As I sit on the edge, on the threshold, what I’ve learned is that this journey is not a straight line. And the plates on each side of me, they support me. They hold me in place, like bookends around the story that is my life... And the next chapter is about to unfold...
