The gym

So i was reading robshep.com today(shameless plug!!!) and he talked about why he hated running outside...I figured I'd counter with why i hate working out indoors.

-I have the upper body strength of a 7 year girl...or something like that. Seriously i feel ridiculous when i bench because i barely have any weights on the bar...then some He-Man walks up and pushes up 200lbs+ like its a piece of cake...I hide in shame.

-You can never decide you don't want to do a workout anymore...once you start you have to finish...this means if i'm on the treadmill and my heart is exploding...i have to still run or else i'll look lame.

-I feel like the people in cars who see me working out think "oh wow look at that dedication to working out" (this is what i think when i see people work out) where as the people at the gym think "he comes to the gym and thats all he can do..."

just saying...

Who's got the funk?

man my life has really just been in a funk of late. Normally i would spend hours at the basketball court trying to break out of this but i have been so busy between work and school that i really haven't been able to address it. Kinda feel like i'm spinning in circles.

Highlights of the week/Stuff thats on my mind

-What on earth is up with VT football? Seriously
-Holy Plot development! Psych had a great end on its summer session to set up for spring... I love that show!
-Not going to be able to go to the almost/house of heroes concert... :(

Things I'm excited about

-30 Seconds to Mars concert tonight. I plan on taunting a couple friends with pics/videos after the concert. I'm really hoping they play kings and queens and the kill. Easily my favorite 30 STMs songs.

-please Google "carlos whittaker single ladies"

-Note on Carlos...he's going to be in VB with John Mark McMillian("how he Loves") and Jeremy Camp on October 23rd. I propose people go to this awesome worship experience.

-I swear I had a really awesome post to make and then it completely slipped my mind. Hope you don't mind this instead.


-RED was everything I hoped they'd be and more. The guys did awesome. i really wish VB got more pumped for opening acts.

-The Almost, Chasen, and House of Heroes on Sept 17th at Club Relevant=Awesome

Being Gradumacated: An intro to the real world

Thats right...I graduated in May 2010. And I must say I definitely felt like life would be way more baller than it is now


side note:baller is such an awesome word. I like to use it all the time even though it gets me stares all the time.

back to the story...be graduated is tough. Not only are there bills. But now I have to keep myself accountable for such things as working out, balancing my checkbook, etc.

Realistically none of these should be a problem. Yet I so easily am distracted...What about you? How do you manage this schedule?

If you're happy and you know it...

I find the basketball court is my sanctum sanctorium(i don't think that means anything but it sounds nifty). Any time I'm having a tough day escaping to the basketball court can bring me the utmost joy. At times I wonder how often I treat the scriptures the same way. When was the last time I ran to the Bible for peace. All of Psalms describes God as our strong tower. I should treat Him as such.

What I am excited about

In only 15 more days...I get to see the band RED in concert. Words cannot express how excited i am that i get to see this band live. RED is my favorite band ever. The only have 2 CD's so far("End of Silence" and "Innocence & Instinct") but they both rock out hard. Plus Creed just happens to be headlining this concert. Now while I do enjoy Alter Bridge infinity times more than Creed, Scott Stapp is one of the unintentionally funniest people alive.

Starting over New

As you can see I've not been very active on my blogging. I'm going to try to pick this up again as an outlet for some stuff i've been doing.


Recently i got a Epiphone SG Special to start my guitar licks on. I must say i've been happy with my progress. Learning something new is always fun. I hope this can be something i use for the rest of my life. Right now I'm strumming only 3 chords...its amazing how many songs can be played.
