Alright so i guess i should do what i said i was going to do.

I've been working out for two and a half months now, in an attempt to get into much better shape. Especially in the cardio department.

I worked out extensively from the age of 16 to 19 and i set some standards by the shape i was in at that stage. Of course, with the hope of moving past those goals as well.

So here we are, i'll be listing mainly core excercises since shaping and tension excercises are pointless in terms of real strength.

Benchpress, started at 115max at 10 times. Now, 205max 10 times.
Leg Press, started at 70max at 10 times. Now, 160max 10 times (Not sure how much the device weighs for this excercise, so i'm just giving the amount of weight i add.)
Standing Bar Curls, started at 30max at 10 times. Now, 80max 10 times.
Tricep Pulldowns, started at 20max at 10 times. Now, 60max 10 times.
Lat Pulldowns, started at 60max at 10times. Now, 130max 10 times.

Cardio action: When i started back working out, i could only jog for maybe 2 mins at a 5.5mph pace. Now, I can jog for 10 mins at the same pace relatively easily, i do that three times throughout my workouts to keep my heart rate up while weightlifting as well.

and this post was mainly for keeping my own records, but hey feel free to comment and call me a chump.

At the end of next week i will have been working out for 2 months.

For my own personal needs i'll be posting my improvements and if i've gone backwards at all in anything.
I will also post my goals and how far off i am from them.

It moves faster and faster...

Factual understandable post:

So recently i went and saw some MMA (Mixed martial arts) fights at the brady theatre as part of the "Battle At The Brady" thing that was going on. As a special guest Ken Shamrock was susposed to be there to meet and greet, as well as sign autographs.

I was in alot of ways excited about this, due to my love of fights and also the hopes of meeting Ken Shamrock to have him sign my book. I had bought a biography of his back when i was 18 or so, due to my interest in the ufc and one of the founding fathers of the organization. I was interested to hear his opinions on a few things and also to tell him how i appreciated everything he had done for the sport so on and so forth.

Well, the event itself was great, it was filled with the normal absurdities and excitement that come with amateur and professional fights, plenty of thrills and spills. Ken Shamrock on the other hand turned out to be a huge disappointment.

He seemed like he didnt want to be there at all, acted as if he was bothered by even being asked to speak or be there. To top that off in order to get an autograph or even speak to him it was an additional 20 bucks, which really depressed me. To see all the rumors about him come true and realize that he cared very little about fan interaction was like a slap in the face. Oh well, live and learn.

The next day i went to the ren faire in muskogee. There was a magnificent horse, pirates and wizards. That's it.

How unfortunate...

What is it with the winds of fate anyways? Stress stress stress.

I dont want to be a catalyst at all but at the same time I do.. what's with that as well? I'm not even sure where this all may lead but i hope for the happy ending. It would help if i had a better idea of what that happy ending would be. I could think of a few possibilities i guess....

In other news, i've been staying solid with my work out plan, very much so in thanks to my roomate who has started working out at the same place. For awhile there i was resolved to put it off another month due to the failure of my friend to stick with working out but it's all worked out in the end. By my math i think i'll be comfy enough and in good enough physical shape to join the boxing gym within 6 months, maybe less, who knows?

Some things have been going on in my personal life.

To and Fro.

I'm really not sure how to take some things i've been told, as they are all complimentary in a way but at the same time hard to accept. Harder still to act upon.

My first/best girlfriend and I have begun talking again, I'm not even about to crack open that subject for discussion or contemplation. I will say that it is good to be speaking to her again.

How am I not myself?

Italian football is everything i had dreamed and more.

The size of my ferocity is getting great. What ever shall they do?

In an effort to mesh everything together, i have been left with next to nothing. Because of THAT, I now have to back track a bit and figure out why i keep having reoccuring images of Kevin Bacon on a park bench in my mind. The hell you say.

What better way to start off the week than the usual bout of unappreciated insomnia. When i lay down at night my mind is awash in scenes of me getting in overly realistic fights with people i know. I think it's just a bleed from that subconcious idea i have about contention with environment/psyche.

And on theres no point to getting into my amazing philosophies on human engineering.

Preach on, nigger boy.

I may be getting a job that will require me to wear a shirt that at least is sporting a collar.

The fucking horror.

His greatest weakness.

It never ceases to amaze.

Still no job, what the hell.

This is what i get for being picky.

Perhaps i should just go down the street and start camping that orc spawn for gold coin.

Anyone need a hired swordsman?

Only in movies...

I find watching mma and boxing to be the most rewarding part of my life at the moment. That and adam allowing me to be introduced to cheese biscuits.

I'm listening to Dj Shadow, what the f?

While you was gone you must have done a lot of favors
You've got a whole lot of things I don't think
That you could ever have paid for
While you've been busy crying
About my past mistakes
I've been busy trying to make a change
I made a change
I've been riding with the ghost
I've been doing whatever he told me
I've been looking door to door to see
if there was someone who'd hold me
I never met a single one who didn't see through me
None of them could love me if they thought they might lose me
Unless I made a change
See I ain't getting better. I am only getting behind
I am standing on a crossroad trying to make up my mind
I'm trying to remember how it got so late
Why every night pain comes from a different place
Now something's got to change
I put my foot to the floor
To make up for the miles I've been losing
See I'm running out of things
I didn't even know I was using
And while you've been busy
Learning how to complain
I've been busy learning
How to make a change
I made it almost again.

Smote upon the rocks

Thu, 14 Jul 2005 16:58:52 GMT

Standing on an island ten thousand miles from anything, surrounded by nothing but sea and peace,
I feel one with myself, calm and understanding, and suddenly i'm bathed in moonlight,
screaming on the banks of the tigris, on fire, with fierce desire no demon could realize,
from the depth of need comes rejoice and significance in the face of another,
and of passion and love i learn,
on the draft of anothers touch i lift higher than ever before, taking leaps where babysteps meant,
send me towards something bright and dark at the same time,
so high is this that i find myself short of breath and in panic i struggle for a time, pushing myself back,
gulping for air but sailing deeper, and when all doubt seems removed and the starry blackness seems inevitable,
i am released.
in the time of greatest elation i am smote upon the rocks of desire and left in the shallows and darkest place the world has to offer.
left alone again but no island, merely bouyant and surrounded by endless waves and sea,
the very earth itself seeing no mercy in the face of despair and man having no place for weakness,
better to find death than have her leave me here.

Regardless of any pretense:

I am fucking metal.

I may dabble with all kinds of music and what not, but through and through. I am one ruthless bitch.

You can assume that i'm at a zero tolerance level at all times.

Especially if i'm in possesion of a laser gun or crack pipe.

No fucking doubt.

Goddamnit.

dance goddamnit

Sun, 03 Jul 2005 00:22:01 GMT

I have only one love in life and that's music.

Plainly and simply: Music.

The rest of you can go fuck yourselves.
