Thought of the day

It is paralyzing at times when you realize the only people that TRULY want you to succeed is yourself... If nobody is rooting against you then you aren't doing it right!

Thought of the day

Workers' rights is a big issue these days with the NFL on lockout, state representatives on strike by hiding from the jurisdiction of their own state, and massive protests and live-ins at state capitals. Might I suggest you guys don't push too hard while unemployment combined with underemployment is in the double digits because you'll find a lot of corporate VP's and executives currently working at car washes, McDonalds, and Wal-Mart that would do damn near anything for your job and management knows this!!!

Thought of the day...

The fear behind giving teenagers condoms is it will encourage them to have more sex. Well my queen, in her coupon frenzy, has 104 double rolls of Charmin in her home and trust me when I say I poop the same amount.

Have an excellent day!

"You can run and tell dat, run and tell dat... home, home, home boy!"

Holy hell everybody needs to see this! First watch the news clip and then the parody video.



Enter the music video...

"Coming through... Denny Crane... Coming through please"

Today's weight is 361.5 pounds. For the week, I have actually gained just under one tenth of a pound, but I am not worried one bit.

So I've been picking up extra shifts at FedEx so this Saturday I went in to help load trucks. I was working with this lady, who I'll admit was a little worse for wear, and we were sorting freight and loading it into baggage carts. She was having trouble remembering which cart was for which city so I explained to her how I was remembering. "It's really pretty easy. Just think A, B, C, and D. The first airport code has an A in it, the second code has a B in it, the third cart has a C in it, and the forth a D. Everything else goes in this cart over here."

"Nope! Not going to work. I'm not a young one like you. I'll never remember that. Besides I've got the "mad cow.""

"Haha! That's funny, like Denny Crane right?"

"Who?"

"You know, Denny Crane, from Boston Legal."

"That doesn't surprise me your friend from Boston has it too. People have been exposed to it for years and the government doesn't want to do anything about it because it makes us easier to control!"

I guess the world take all kinds...

What do pilots drive home?

365 pounds. I'm clearly not losing any weight, but my job and my MMA cardio workout is becoming easier and making me less sore so I'd call it progress of a different sort.

On a side note (side bar), If I were a pilot, I'd own a Honda Pilot so that the back windshield would read, "Airline pilot's Pilot."

This MMA (mixed martial arts) style workout I found in the June, 2010 issue of Muscle & Fitness magazine is incredible! It's pretty hardcore though so I've adapted it slightly and I have recently added a weight lifting component. With the whole program in place I didn't anticipate gaining 7 or 8 pounds! It still baffles me when I notice my body getting smaller and more cut while my weight is moving in the opposite direction...
