Lower Manhattan from Washington Rock

Good afternoon, folks. We have a great centennial for you 100 Years Ago, Today - (Thursday) March 8th, 1923: "The Love Nest," staring silent film great Buster Keaton, debuts. If you love old maritime footage - and great deadpan comedy- this film is a must. Keaton's character is jilted by his love, and runs away to sea, ending up on a whaler with a sadistic captain who dispatches Crewmen over the side for the most menial infractions. Keaton, in true form, navigates the insanity with great hilarity. Deciding to take matters into his own hands, he scuttles the ship, and escapes in a lifeboat. He then drifts, until tying up to a floating US Navy target rack, and promptly goes fishing. There is absolutely stellar US Navy Battleship target practice footage, as Keaton is oblivious to 12 and 14-inch shells landing around him, thinking the fish are just biting well. I won't tell you how it ends- go watch for yourselves and enjoy a wonderful comedy short that, although 100 years old today, is timeless.

Remember when I said not too long ago that there's more than one way to #squat if you don't wish to load your spine? That especially goes for #lankylifters. If you're like me, you have incredibly long arms and legs relative to your torso. And those usually aren't good bedfellows with proper #squatmechanics. Since the bar rests on your back in a traditional squat, your #centerofgravity is altered, especially if you're #lanky, because the lower you go in the #eccentric portion of the movement, the more you'll lean forward. And it's not as if you "can't" squat like that; it's just harder. With a variation such as the #frontsquat, however, the aforementioned Center of Gravity doesn't change at all. This is especially due to the fact that the #anteriorchain. See how relatively vertical my spine is in the picture? It wouldn't be looking like that with #spinalloading, that's for sure!

I finally visited @metalmusicstop last Saturday, an awesome place I discovered through here maybe a month ago. They have everything from music to shirts, jewelry as seen in this picture, patches and even horror movies and collectibles. Now that @vintagevinylnj is gone, there are not too many places like this left. The only other place I can think of off the.top of my head is all the way out in Middletown, NY. So when you find a small place like this, check them out and support them. Thanks for everything Armando, you're the man! #confessionsofanangrymetalhead #metalhead #metalmusicstop #messhugah #trivium #uncleacidandthedeadbeats #kingdiamond #conspiracy #immutable #inthecourtofthedragon #wasteland #keyportnj #centraljerseyexists #heavymetal #extrememetal #sabbathworship #ihateyou #yourmothersucksdicksinhell (at The Metal Music Stop) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcqR6qhrL5x/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sunrise in B&W from Washington Rock

Part 3 of 3! (CONCLUSION) One last follow-up to the series for K9 Veterans Day. This lovely young lady is Lauren Bacall, world famous movie actress from the 1940's and on. From my research, this was taken at Santa Monica, California in 1943 by Louise Dahl-Wolfe, who shot for Harper's Bazaar. Not to get away from Miss Bacall, but, um... Look who's standing behind her. Here we see, yet again, a US Coast Guardsman, on beach patrol, with his trusty K9 companion. Were they assigned to be in the photo by the War Department? Or were they asked to step into the background as they made their rounds past the photoshoot? Who knows. But, this does clearly show that here at home, there were no longer peaceful, idyllic days at the beach during the early 1940's... If you went to the shore, The War was there, too. But so were our defenders. 🇺🇸❤️ 🇺🇲🇺🇲 ** Please Like & Follow "Sandy Hook History" on Facebook & Instagram for more amazing maritime and military histories of the Garden State and New York Harbor as well as a review of the 80th Anniversary of the Battle Of The Atlantic and World War 2** 🇺🇲🇺🇲 Photo: PubDom#visitmonmouth #newjerseybuzz #thejournalnj #locallivingnj #journeythroughjersey #centraljerseyexists #discovernj #yesnj #newjerseyhistory #newjerseyforyou #sandyhookbeach #sandyhooknj #sandyhookhistory #forthancockhistory #forthancock #battleoftheatlantic #dogsfordefense #homefront #dogsofinstagram #dogs #k9 #k9unit #k9shep #militaryworkingdog #doggos #dogsofnewjersey #canines #doggosofnj #workingdogsofinstagram #K9VeteransDay (at Fort Hancock, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBFdSKgvNB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Made a return trip to @ares__nutrition yesterday. While there I bought some more @nutrabio #wheyisolate in #dutchchocolate, as well as my first @wickedcutzjerky purchase. For those of you not in the know, Wicked Cutz is Branch Warren's company, so I'm looking to see how this ranch powder I bought tastes the next time I make popcorn. If you've never tried ranch powder on popcorn before you haven't lived. Undebatable. #mikelaexandercpt #northernnj #northjerseypersonaltrainer #nutrabio #aresnutrition #centraljerseyexists #glutenfree #soyfree #wickedcutz #branchwarren #bergencountypersonaltrainer #passaiccounty #passaiccountynj #passaiccountypersonaltrainer https://www.instagram.com/p/CZqSXows6yc/?utm_medium=tumblr
