With silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants, the old soft shoe.

He jumped so high, jumped so high, then he lightly touched down. - Sammy Davis Jr.

I've been in a very good place since 2010 arrived. My head is feeling less like a weight more like a bobble head, things are going my way and the obstacles in my way are so insignificant that I give them no value to my present state of mind.


I finished my round of p90x and I am satisfied with the results, I am happy with what I've accomplished. I am very happy with what I've achieved, I am much more fit than I was 3 months ago, I can lift more and I'm more in tune with what my body can handle, overall a good program not without it's flaws, towards the end I was feeling burnt out and just wanted to get it finished. I used resistance bands instead of weights which somewhat stunted my gains in the muscle growth department. My bands look like they are about to snap, so I did something right. My assessment from strength comes from going back to the gym with my trainer, I am only about 10-15 pounds behind on some exercises, I managed to out plank him the other day it was a small victory, I'm getting back into the routine of going to the gym again, this should be fun.


I've been looking at life from a perspective that's not unique by any standards, I'm just more vocal about what I see, say what's on my mind and filter out anything that I hear that does not add value to myself. at the end of the day I am left with the feeling that I know I'm capable of more, just trying to determine what "more" is. I could argue that it doesn't matter what more is, as long as it's something I haven't done, a skill that I haven't picked up just yet.


They say "a drunk mans words are a sober's mans thoughts" I ask myself why is that? why do you need to be drinking to use it as an excuse? it's a silly notion that you need to justify your actions by using alcohol as an excuse. we're adults and responsible for the decisions we make. Why not make a fool of yourself sober and learn something from it? Meeting people has turned into a way to find out how awesome people are, elevate their awesomeness and be as awesome as they can be. You can't be awesome till you believe you are!
