Are there any former so called nerds who took up bodybuilding and beat the hell out of their former bullies?

Question

Please tell me your stories! Love to read them!

Answer 1

I am a nerd.

As a general rule, nerds struggle through high school unsure of themselves and as misfits in the social order of things. This changes for the better in college. In college, all those academic qualities that make us nerds give us the social leverage we deserve. There are some exceptions to this at some big drinking schools, but overall we find our niche in college.

I've never been big or particularly athletic. I've never really needed to be. I'm a computer programmer (a quintessential nerd) with a relatively sedentary job. Every once in a while I'd decide to start working up and build up some muscle, but it never really happened.

Then I found the SCA.

The SCA, society for creative anachronisms, is a medieval group. It's deliciously nerdy. We do extensive research of medieval history. We dress up in authentic (usually) medieval clothing and have feasts, festivals, tournaments, and wars. Tournaments and wars involve dressing up in armor and beating the snot out of each other with wooden swords. I loved it immediately.

I immediately discovered something very interesting about medieval combat: that stuff is heavy! The armor is heavy, the sword is heavy, and worst of all, the shield is heavy. And they get heavier the longer you wield them. After a few hours, it was all I could do just to hold that stupid shield. I realized that if I wanted to keep it up and become a good fighter, I'd have to bulk up. I picked up some weights and started working out.

Now, I'm stronger than I've ever been before in my life. I'm feeling fitter and healthier than I've ever felt. I look better than I've ever looked before (or so my wife tells me). Yes, I'm ripped. And further, I'm now trained in a martial art.

No, I haven't gone and beaten up any bullies that bugged me during school (although one or two of the people I've fought were the type I didn't get along with in school.) I've dreamed about it, though. I probably wouldn't, because I like to keep my anger in check. But if I DO run across a bully of the common high school variety, now I'm ready.

Answer 2

that's elementary to hallucinate after an extensive to-dying experience. The concepts tries to remember as many studies which you have had so as that it may discover the terrific answer so as that the area could be made attainable... existence flashes till now one's eyes. If the concepts won't be able to decide what to do after looking previous studies, it then the two shuts down and enables stuff to ensue, or it shows the answer in what you have discovered (i.e, been advised to take Penicillin to end the TB). that's obvious that this guy or woman have been advised whilst they die, they're going to Hell. So, the concepts could no longer stumble on a answer to end it from going on, so it recreated what could ensue contained in one among those a hallucination (those can final seconds or minutes, yet experience lots longer) and that that they had arrived on the top of Hell. Then, the concepts searches any imagery or something you have theory approximately Hell, and then places that into the hallucination, so as that the concepts can call it back up if it got here approximately back, and as a result, cope with the area greater proper.

I got picked on for being in special education classes, the ones with more than one teacher. I work out 3 days a week and practice brazil jui jitsu, bagua, nei gung and muy tai kick boxing and suddenly all the girls want me and all the guys want to be my friend. Hypocrites
