It's dad's Birthday

The LA Fitness Expo was lots of fun. Had to pick up Dave (the rockstar, not the teacher). Oh, and I got sideswiped in the freeway.

So we were eating and drinking free samples left and right when Dave started feeling weird.

DAVE: I'm sober [for years] so I'm getting this weird buzz right now! I have no idea what I just put in my body!
Later ...
DAVE: I have no idea if all this stuff is supposed to mix together! It's having a weird reaction!
Later ...
DAVE: What if I die? What would the doctor say? "Um, he was really healthy. He overdosed from healthy products!"

That kid Johnny, who's also a regular at GNC, was there as well. And then I saw this chick named Candace who used to work at the gym. She was also working at this Expo last year. She's also jackoffable.

CANDACE: Don't you usually wear glasses?
RYAN: Whenever I feel like it.
DAVE: [butts in] That's what he tells all the girls. [starts ad libbing a bunch of jokes]
CANDACE: Ooh, you got some good ones. I gotta start taking notes. [back at me] I like your hair!

She's never seen me with my hair down or with highlights. I mentioned that I've been overseas for the last couple of months and she assumed I was in the military. Ha. Anyway, she works for TMZ now and as I walked away she kept telling me she liked my hair. She's in my database.

Dave was hustling hard to get his music out to these MMA people when Daniel Puder walked up. Dave offered to take a picture of us. I brought up him legitimately putting Kurt Angle in a kimura (keylock) in a non-scripted segment on an episode of WWE Smackdown years ago.



RYAN: You putting Kurt Angle in a kimura was the best thing on WWE programming!
DANIEL: I will never understand why they aired that! But it's why they fucked my contract. That's happened to me twice and I finally got Entertainment lawyers.

For some reason, Dave couldn't remember that moment.

DAVE: Where was I?

So Daniel Puder gave Dave his number, without Dave even asking for it, for info on Dave's rock shows. Cool! And it turns out a lot of MMA people play music. Josh Barnett was a contestant in the jujitsu matches. Nobody recognized him at 1st, explaining with the same reaction: He looked bigger on TV.

I entered my name in this box for a chance to win a 2-week pass for Krav Maga lessons. The most helpful info I received was that creatine monohydrate is not harmful as long as you're not loading it. It's fine as only pre-workout and post-workout. Creatine monohydrate it is.

I dropped Dave off at his parents' house.

DAVE: I'm coming down from all those products we took!
RYAN: It's funny how you talk about'em like they're drugs.
DAVE: They are! They're healthy drugs!

Dave's mom and dad are 82 and 89, respectively, but don't look it. We cleaned up my car from when it got sideswiped earlier. It doesn't look so bad. My mommy and I had dinner at Outback Steakhouse.
