Like many other college kids in America, I pledged a fraternity and like just about every other fraternity pledge, I was forced to undergo physical anguish during lineups. One of everyone’s least favorite activities was the good ole’ “Think About It.” I’m sure it’s been called by many names in many places. Essentially, when the Pledgemaster tells you to “think about it,” you drop to the ground and get into this position: http://www.colfaxwrestling.org/fit_images/prone.gif, except your fists are under your chin as if you’re…you guessed it…thinking about something. Now, like the writers and creators of LOST, Pledgemasters would get all cutesy with the way they told you to think about it. “Well, well, well…y’all really f*cked up this time. Why don’t you think about it.” Or…”Blah blah blah…I think we just gave you a lot to think about!”

I feel like I’m pledging again. And I just want it to be over.

So another spring break has arrived. Half a semester down and we have a week of vacation right around the corner. While most of us are working hard through midterms, projects, and presentations, there are also those of us who have been working hard in the gym and in the kitchen. With this in mind I decided to throw together some better ways to work out and eat to  spread the good word to my peers. I’ll be separating the two articles starting with diet and following up with some recommendations for the gym to give you all a nice little edge to get your fit on.

I used to be a work out fiend, now I just trying to stay fit and healthy for myself and my future. That doesn’t mean I don’t go after the glamour muscles like we all do, but maybe just not as hard as I used to. Using this approach has gotten me in the best shape of my life and maybe it can help you all out a bit as well. If not, then at least it never hurts to know a little bit more of how to take care of yourself.

Here are a few guidelines and recommendations to live by for the spring break transition phase. Now this is what works for me and keep in mind that we are all different. These are just suggestions that have helped me as well as a few others. The following is a high fiber and protein diet that works well when paired with exercise 4-5 times a week.

It was David vs. Goliath, Ali vs. Sonny Liston, Rocky vs. Apollo Creed. It was, to put it simply, an upset of epic proportions.

In one corner you had James Cameron’s big budget sci-fi masterpiece, Avatar. Since its release, critics have praised Avatar for its stunning visual effects and cinematographic genius. Moviegoers came out in droves to treat themselves to a unique experience in theaters as Avatar was shown in IMAX and IMAX-3D. Those effects, along with Cameron’s penchant for producing blockbusters earned big money at the box office, and in only three short months Avatar became the highest-grossing film of all time; netting $2 billion since its December release. That $2 billion broke the previous box office record that Cameron set with the release of Titanic in 1998.

Contrast that with The Hurt Locker, which despite its summer release has only grossed around $15 million, roughly 2% of Avatar’s earnings.  No sexy special effects, a much lesser known cast, lesser-known director, and a less popular subject (the Iraq war) all contributed to the chips being stacked against the low budget war film.

Nearly three years ago, Alain Macklovitch, better known as DJ A-Trak, was posted up in a Los Angeles studio rehearsing with his longtime touring partner Kanye West for the hip-hop mogul’s Graduation tour. On a break, he bumped into DJ AM, who “told me he was working on some stuff for Travis Barker,” A-Trak recalls. AM and Barker, it turns out, were priming material for a drums and vinyl-scratching duo that would become known as TRAVI$DJ-AM.

Travis has not performed with another DJ since AM passed away, but feels A-Trak is the right guy to continue on with. A-Trak is a well respected in the music industry – he hails from Montreal and became the youngest to ever win the DMC World DJ Championship at the age of 15.

The Handsome Men’s Club- MUST SEE VIDEO BELOW!

The Handsome Men’s Club is presided over by Kimmel, who calls it “an organization that supports beautiful people like myself.” With cameos by Patrick Dempsey, John Krasinski, Josh Hartnett, Sting, Ethan Hawke, Gilles Marini (shirtless, of course), Matthew McConaughey (wearing a shirt, oddly enough), Ted Danson, Tony Romo, Keith Urban, Taye Diggs, Sting, Matt Damon, Lenny Kravitz — plus Ben Affleck, star of Kimmel’s infamous 2008 (NSFW) viral video — you won’t want to miss it.

The club’s agenda: discussing George Clooney’s “Handsome for the Homeless” initiative, and whether the Twilight guys are handsome or merely cute. But a dispute breaks out over whether Kimmel’s handsome enough to be club president. Kravitz defends him in song (we want a ringtone of him belting, “I have flaws!”), but the final vote leads to quite an emotional showdown.  Check it out the skit after the jump… (more…)

Donovan McNabb will be throwing passes to Terrell Owens again.

McNabb and Owens are teaming up on a basketball court instead of a football field in the new season of Spike TV’s “Pros vs. Joes.” The episode features NFL players that played college basketball against former NBA stars.

McNabb (Syracuse), Owens (Tennessee-Chattanooga) and Antonio Gates (Kent State) will face Hakeem Olajuwon, Kenny Smith and Rick Fox.

Donovan McNabb played two seasons for the Syracuse basketball team as a reserve guard. More significantly, he was the best quarterback in Syracuse football history.
