It's Friday and we're bored with regular life and looking forward to an exciting weekend. And what's more exciting than running around in the snow almost naked? So when we found this guy -- who does just that -- we thought 2 things: 1. He sounds a lot like one of those werewolves from the Twilight Series and 2. This guy could probably party like it's '99. So who is he? Fifty-one-year-old Wim Hof, dubbed "The Iceman," is a human paradox, capable of feats that have had him considered by some to be superhuman. From running in the tundra barefoot to swimming in freezing waters, climbing Everest and submerging himself in ice for a record 72 minutes, this guy may arguably defeat Twilight's famed, hunky werewolf Jacob in a face-off (take note RV Salesman). In an article from ABC News, he answers the giant question of "how are you still alive?" with a simple answer: "I know my body. I know my mind. I know what I can do." Now, we're all for challenging yourself, knowing your strengths and accomplishing goals, but we had to take a step back and wonder how this Hollander hasn't been spliced by the Volturi yet for leaving the Quillettes' reservation and exposing himself to the human world. We also wondered if Stephanie Meyer would out-do her own character, Bella, and hook up with this dude. Anyway, you're probably wondering how this relates to job hunting, career goals, and resume writing? Well, it may inspire you to do something different or creative that will compell companies to employ you (just don't kill yourself or do yourself serious bodily harm in the process, kids). And that would be something to write about. Otherwise, we have no idea. We just thought this guy seemed cool. Happy Friday!
Great post, I am currently taking a break from the "daily grind" to pursue some of my other interests. I have a penchant for swimming in cold water but don't think I'd last 72 minutes in ice..
