Hate To Love Me

Bikram Yoga

I will personally kick anyones ass who says anything to the effect of “Yoga is for pussies.”

Now that’s not to say Bikram Yoga is super intense… but it’s far from easy.

Today I took a Bikram Yoga class. It’s 26 yoga poses conducted over an hour and a half. The key to Bikram though is that it’s done in a hot room. We’re talking 32 degree’s celcius.

I’m a warm room kind of guy. I like being warm and absolutely hate being cold. Thus I thought that I’d be fairly comfortable in this room. Was I ever wrong. The class had already started when I opened the door. I was greeted by the hottest room short of a sauna that I’ve ever been in.

5 minutes in I begin sweating.
10 minutes in sweat is dripping down my forehead.
20 minutes in I remove my wifebeater due to it being soaked in sweat.
By the time the class had ended I looked like I had just gotten out of the shower.

Stepping outside of the classroom was honestly one of the most relieving sensations I’ve ever experienced. And yet it left me feeling very limber and refreshed. I don’t know about the benefits or anything like that but I’d definitely recommend Bikram Yoga for stress relief and to just try something new if nothing else.

After a short break and lunch we then went and did a leg workout for an hour and a half and afterwards my legs were absolutely jell-o. I was in an amazing mood though and I could feel the testosterone rippling through my veins. I’m going to sleep like a baby tonight all thanks to this workout.

I think I’m going to get more into it. Cheers to fitness.

Things I Like These Days

Entourage. This show is absolutely awesome. For those who don’t know it’s a story about an up and coming A-List movie star named Vincent Chase. What a lot of people don’t know is that it’s loosely based off Mark Walhberg’s career. It’s hard to really put my finger on what I really like about this show but if you ever put time into watching it you’ll find that it’s a really engaging plot and that the characters are people you really care about. Between trying to pickup girls and close deals they’re living the dream. It’s what every guy wants. And then of course there’s Ari Gold.

Californication. Another awesome show I’ve been tuning in to watch. Here’s the wiki for those who don’t know about it. Hank, played by David Duchovny, is a dynamic character and isn’t necessarily a good example or someone to look up to but you still care about him. There’s been points where I’ve been standing up cheering at the TV in victory. Pickup artists also pay attention to his mannerisms, behavior and energy because Hank is most definitely an alpha male. You see boobs less than 10 minutes into the first episode and all his novels are names of Slayer albums. Nuff said.

NOFX. Punk legends. I saw them in Montreal on June 5th ‘05 and I was absolutely blown away. Lately I’ve been getting back into their albums and they may be sloppy shit punk but it’s fun and dynamic music to listen to. “Lori Meyers”, “She’s Nubs” and others just rock my socks. Get into them.

The Foo Fighters. I’m going to see them in March. I think I’ve said enough.

My girlfriend’s rabbit. Magnus is the cutest bunny ever. Absolutely adorable. His only fault is he poops everywhere.

The Escalation Ladder. This thing is absolutely brilliant. It’s the single most powerful tool in my pickup arsenal. I love love love it. If you don’t have it go to the VinDiCarlo website and sign up for our newsletter. You’ll get it in the very first one.

Cloverfield. This movie looks like it’s going to be a fucking gold. Check it out.

Fluffy snow. I can’t wait for more of it to hit the ground so I can get back on the slopes. I want to get good at snowboarding this year so everyone cross their fingers for snow for Orleans.

That’s all I can really think of. I’m still working on the videos. Stay tuned.

Video Editting

Video editting is quite the task. This speech of mine is the first video editting I’ve ever done and it’s been one hell of a learning experience.

Between cutting the boring stuff, adding music, muting things I shouldn’t have said and trying to bring the whole piece together is a huge task.

On top of that what I’ve noticed is that I’ll finish something… and then I’ll get a new and better idea. So I’ll implement that new idea into the next part and then have to re-cut all the parts preceding that. All in all I’ve decided after being almost done this first cut that I’m going to re-cut the whole thing and do it properly with appropriate breaks in between the videos. This means it’s going to take atleast another couple of days. I’m working on it hard and long though guys trust me. And believe me… it’s worth the wait.

The Big News

So I promised you guys big news tonight… so without further adieu… I prsent to you… big news…

I have received my footage from the U21 Pickup Artist Convention which was held earlier this year in Orlando. This is a full hour of footage including the DiCarlo Escalation Ladder, a video lay report and Q+A featuring my good friend Vincent Chase.

I’ve been up all night editting so just a few more finishing touches and I should most likely have the footage up in a couple days.

Stay tuned kids.

Promotion Is Hard Work

Wanting to dabble in a side-career of club promotion I threw my first party at a club on Saturday. Friday before going to sleep I was expecting between 40-50 people showing up which was my target. By Saturday night that number had turned into 25. By the end of the night the count was around 15. It’s unreal how flakey people are. BUT on the good side I made $50 and got a free 15 drink bar tab which made for a good night with the 15 that did show up.

It was definitely a learning experience and I’m meeting with the club’s manager this week to discuss the party, how it could have been better and how we could develop a new system to get more people coming. Club promotion is just a natural extension of the whole pickup artist lifestyle and it’s definitely something I’m interested in getting good at. More money never hurts.

I’m going to have BIG news for you guys tomorrow. Be excited.
