That title is absolute bullshit. I cringed when I wrote it. It’s like something you’d read on a magazine cover. You know, to sell magazines. You’ve seen the ads to lose 50 pounds by taking Hydroxycut and such. Get great abs overnight, rock-hard gluts in minutes a day…I could go on and on. A couple of years ago I read a book. The title read like one of these “too good to be true” magazines. It was by first-time author Timothy Ferriss. It had a catchy title, the 4-hour Workweek. I read it cover-to-cover. I thought he had some OK advice. Can I tell you something? If a normal person tried one-tenth of his suggestions, they’d be fired on the spot. A big company would have security escort you out. I’ve never actually had a job before where I worked for anyone else. I’ve always worked for myself. I’d be willing to bet nobody in their right mind would put up with that. If any of our readers would like to try it out, I’d like to know what would happen if you walked in and asked to work from home. I told you that to tell you this. It seems like our friend Timothy Ferriss is at it again. Now he’s a fitness expert. You know, like Perez Hilton. Remember when he jumped on the fitness bandwagon with FitPerez.com? I still like the ring to that. I learn so much sitting at the feet of the master. But I digress. So Timothy Ferriss has a new book. It’s called the 4-Hour Body. Usually I put a link to these books. Well, fuck him, I’m not putting one. While waiting for a client to change, I skimmed a few pages of the book. This joker claimed he could put on 30 pounds of lean muscle mass in one month. I’m no Perez Hilton, I have a degree from a major medical university. There I go with my digressions again. I doubt you can put 30 pounds of lean muscle mass on in such a short amount of time. If you want something for nothing, I guess you can go buy the book. It’s nothing more than a glorified fitness magazine with hollow promises. By the way, I want to thank my good friend Bill Meadows. He’s a loyal blog reader. He sent along a Sophia Loren picture I didn’t have. I’ll post that picture again at the end of this blog. If you can find a rare Sophia Loren photo, please send it along. It would be appreciated.
