Saturday, June 6, 2009. Sorry it's been so long

So, it has been quite a while. And yes, it's four AM as I am writing this. But I was compelled to get a few things off of my chest.

I just finished reading Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis, and I have to say that this and Alice Cooper's autobiography are probably the two best I have ever read. And you may say to yourself, "Well, I'm not addicted to narcotics or alcohol." These books go deeper than that and transcend all boundaries. It's more about indominable spirit and having goodwill. I'm not a religious dude. However, I'm pretty spiritual. It's often said that life is about the connections you make. This is used in business, sports, and all sorts of other crap. The meaning of this has been so perverted that the real meaning is lost. Connect with anyone and everyone you come in contact with and serve those people with everything you have in you. Even when I'm at work, I try to keep this in mind. Yeah, some of the people I help out aren't the brightest bulb in the box, but they're still one of my brothers or sisters in this universe. We all have energy around us and it's our decision whether or not we use it for good or evil.

Something else I need to bring up is my fitness goals. I've kinda had a shift in focus since the beginning of this year. I haven't been able to get into a groove with my workouts partly due to medical issues and a whole bunch of other external stuff, but more importantly, I've been the one saying "Oh, I can always do this tomorrow." No more, my friends. Starting tomorrow, I will be going to the gym for 21 days straight. Sunshine or snowfall, I'll be arriving for my date with the gym at least once a day and hopefully twice a day. Some of you may be asking yourselves, "What's the deal with the number '21'?" Well, it's said that habits are made or broken in 21 days. I've tried to get in a groove by scheduling a rest day, but I always tell myself that I can just take two rest days. Then that turns into three and sometimes four. For the next three weeks I will not be doing any rest days unless I have to.

Last on my agenda is to apologize. In the past I have been an ass, I am still an ass quite often, and you know what? I'll probably still have my moments to be an ass as life goes on. However, I will be making an attempt to quell some of this.

All right, guys. I love you all. I hope that as you are sleeping you rest and are renewed and refreshed to tackle a new day.
