I start lessons for my blues guitar on Friday (Feb 10th) right after work. I picked up some finger/thumb picks today and a proper slide bar – I’m going lap steel style on it. I’m up to 25 situps and 20 pushups. Nowhere near 100 consecutive but it’s a start. Considering the weight I’m still pushing I’ll [...]
A positive revelation in my little world today. It was a simple statement: “I will not be running tonight” Do you realize how much of a light year away that statement is from the previous statements: “I can’t run a mile” “I wish I could walk a mile without being winded” “I’m really ok with [...]
This is my resonator. It’s a Recording King; brass body, nickel plated, tri-cone design. This is for one of my 2012 resolutions. I’ve got it tuned to an open G so that I can play some music like this (by January next year I want to be able to play this song). I got [...]
So we’re into 2012. Could be the last year before the ghost of the Mayans come and kill us all. In the spirit of not making it to my next birthday (thanks Mayans) I made a different sort of resolution list this year. Historically it’s always been things like “lose fifty pounds”, “travel to Amsterdam”, [...]
Just signed up with my 2nd personal trainer and her specialty is flexibility. I’ve never been so terrified of a 5’4″ 100lb woman ever. I watched what she did to this 6’5″ bulked up dude and he told me I was going to hurt for days after. I don’t have days to hurt… I meet [...]
8 Weeks No Carbs 2 Training sessions per week (Tues/Thurs) 3 other days in the gym (1-2 hours) 5 days of running (only a mile, thank God) So by mid March if I’m not dead from lack of cupcakes, Oreo’s, sweet tea, fried anything… I should be in much better shape than I’m in now. [...]
Those of you close to me understand just how difficult this transition to the moon Oregon has been for me. I’m now almost 5 months into what feels like an eternity and still have no groove here. I reckoned that while living in Atlanta was alright it simply wasn’t what I wanted nor was it [...]
This may turn into a TLDR read post – it may be less than two paragraphs. I’m not sure yet. My birthday is Wednesday. I’ll be 32. That, however, is not what this post is about, simply a timeframe to reference while I talk a little bit about my Grandmother. She was there the day [...]
So yesterday was a fuckfest of sleeping habits. I slept until 1:00pm I took “a nap” at 5:00pm I woke up around 12:15am… ..never got back to sleep last night. So, I’m off to the gym. My trainer agreed to meet me early today since I’m going to be a zombie after work, I’m going [...]
Times like last week when I hit the scale, it was my enemy. It sent me into a deep downward spiral emotionally. How the hell could I have gained so much back after I worked so hard to knock it off. What’s the first thing I did? Eat cookies. Drink Dr. Pepper. Give up. Say [...]
Tomorrow, in America, is Thanksgiving. I usually don’t put much stock into it as a holiday with purpose. Back in the 4th grade I got to play Chief Massasoit and eat fake dinner with 4th grade Pilgrims for the school play. It’s usually a time to spend with family (sometimes mine, sometimes not mine) and [...]
First, allow me to enlighten you on a few things I just found out. It’s recommended men wear tights under running shorts here to stay warm Tights are about $50 a pair Tights come in Black or White Tights all in the “Compression Clothing” category You have to be commando so that the compression works [...]
Anybody that knows me knows I don’t sleep. Well, not like a normal person anyway. When I’m stressed out I average about three hours a night. I’m not sure what keeps me going for five days straight but I do know that’s about my limit. When I have a week (or two…or three…) I can [...]
Dear AAAA Video Games, I fully understand your desire to release “around the holiday season”. However, your recent string of week over week drops has left me without time to beat one before putting the other in. However, 5 AAAA titles in less than one month is painful, not to mention the issues with the [...]
Thanks to @JediMunchies for putting together a little montage of some of the finer Black Ops moments. Good stuff mate.
