Take that Matador!!!



Awww, this poor matador got speared by the bull's horn.
Maybe next time he'd think twice before participating in this barbaric "sport."
You see, when you start stabbing a dangerous animal for fun and have the final intention of killing it, you're seriously not only an asshole and an idiot, but your really risking your life too!

Broken Hearted



Ever since Valentines Day, I've been broken hearted thanks to Adriana Lima and her wedding to that idiot whatever his name is.
Now shes pregnant. Oh well, I have my princess.

Screw you Adriana!

My Two Top Purchases

Out of everything I have purchased in the last few months, I have to say my top purchases have been my 3 Nike DRI-fit shirts and my Adidas gym bag.

Nike DRI-Fit Sports Tee
After growing tired and bored of just wearing my old crappy t-shirts to the gym I decided to look for a better alternative. My friend Hoosh recommended me Nike DRI-fit shirts. Why the hell did I never think to wear actually gym shirts to the gym before this I do not know.

So I went on Nike's website and looked at what they had. I am not really a fan of short sleeved shirts so I went straight to th long sleeves. They looked perfect. I picked up 3 shirts, navy, white (my favorite) and this blue/grayish one. Since I have never worn these types of shirts I was hoping they would feel and look good on me. When they arrived I tried them on and was instantly in love. They were fit me wonderfully and felt just as good. Nike talks about the DRI-fit technology which is upposed to sweep sweat away from your skin. Well, from my experience, they do this but it makes it looks like you're sweating more. No big deal really.

ADIDAS Ultra Tech Small Duffel

I was in the Adidas store looking for some new gym pants. My old black sweats, while great, were showing age and ripping. Yes, I am a fan of destroyed clothing, but I usually reserve that style for jeans. While I was pondering which new pants to purchase I saw these duffel bags hanging on the wall. I picked one up in blue and bought it.

HOLY SHIT, I should have bought one of these much sooner. I now put all my gym stuff into this bag. Though its the "small" version of the bag, it still fits everything! My pants, shirts, shoes, accessories. It even has a FRESHPACK area that is separate from the main compartment. This is meant for your shoes and dirty clothes. The only bad thing about this is that my shoes don't even fit inside the compartment! Once again, no big deal. I just use the compartment for my two water bottles and my protein shake bottle. Also, I would like to mention that the Load Spring shoulder strap is a godsend, it really does decrease the weight your carrying.

It's Yours

MY NEWEST SONG OBSESSION!!!


Its Yours - J. Holiday

This is the 2nd time I've had a J. Holiday song on my iTunes pass 100 plays. Just like "Bed", "It's Yours" is very catchy, meaningful, and really strikes a chord with me. It's another one of those songs that makes one just want to grab someone and just kiss them with passion..otherwise, whats the point. I really couldn't think of any other way to say that without sounding corny. haha

Oh and for those who like numbers and like to say WTF, "Bed" has 218 plays on my iTunes. :-)

NEWS: Popeyes Runs Out of Chicken, a Community Faces Starvation

My favorite quotes
Mom: "Peoples have kids that they trying to feed, you telling me we can't feed our kids!!!"
OMG, without fast food fried chicken, the kids of America are gonna starve! Damn you Popeyes!

Another dude: No chicken, or they just outta chicken?"
Yeah, it has to be either or right?!?!

A Rekindled Love

There was once a time, when I first started working out (back in 2004) that I would love to go to the gym. It was something new to me, and I was seeing results everyday. I went from being 130 lbs to 155 and then to 166 all in one year. I was not exactly the strongest guy, but I liked my new found body. Before that time I never really picked up a weight and just concentrated on cardio and abs. Well, after a while, I plateaued, and the gym wasn't that place to acquire new gains anymore, it was just the place 15 minutes away from me that I had to go to to keep whatever I had. When one has this kind of attitude towards working out, becoming sick of the gym is inevitable...and trips to the gym become less and less frequent. Though I still thought of it as an important part of my life, I DESPISED going to the gym, and my body suffered because of this.
Sometime during this semester, I became aware of this and how my body is not the best it could be. Something in my head clicked, allowing me to understand that the only person my lethargy was affecting was me. Why can't I have a sick body? Yeah, I'm a full time student with an obsession with Halo, but there had to be a way to manage my time to make me a gym rat once again, right? Of course there was, there ALWAYS is.
So one night, I made a gym/class/social schedule for myself. I had to make the gym a positive part of my life again, and making a schedule for it was definitely the way to go. The next day I started my schedule. I decided to work hard at the gym, and have a positive attitude. Turns out, having a positive attitude is almost all you need to do something. Ever since that day about a month ago, I have been avidly going to the gym, and whenever I have to miss a day I get really anxious and depressed. It feels so good to have such a positive addiction. The best part is, my body is turning out damn good. I am very happy with the gains I have seen in just one month. I am happy yes, but still not satisfied. I want my perfect chest, I want my perfect abs and my ripped shoulders. I love my back, its my favorite part to workout, but I'm loving chest days now too, its all about the incline press :-D
I should also not that I try to hit the gym 5 days a week, and twice a day. Last week, I fucked up my leg so I only went once a day. I do actual muscle groups in the morning/afternoon and then cardio and either lower abs, upper abs, or obliques to finish it off.
ANYTHING CAN BE DONE WITH A POSITIVE ATTITUDE.
