chest and tricepts today

Chest and tris at the gym today.

Most likes I have ever had

Most likes I have ever had from facebook was from Darth Vader being sad after buying Sporting KC's 3rd kit. Only to watch them lose.

2 mile walk

Went for a two mile walk today. I also picked up some vitimans and some sports drink.

Are you worried? I am not worried...

Sporting KC kinda got their asses kicked on Saturday. I am not going to panic just yet though. It is a long season. It is only APRIL...there were some bright spots. Jacob Peterson came on in the second half and looked delightful. It exposed us on how Sporting KC can be beat with faster players. So hopefully we fix that and move on. Also I think it is good to give the goal keeper some work. Nielson hasn't been tested forever, so it was nice to see him getting some in game fire. Sporting KC is still top of the table in the east. Wooo.

David Bass from Missouri Western got drafted. That is sweet.

I went out to Kaufman Staduim at 11 am on Sunday and stayed for two games. It was a great day. I got alittle bit sick sitting in the sun, but I drank some sports drinks and I felt better. It was a marathon of baseball and the hightlight was Alex Gordon's homerun in the first game. I also learned that outfield seats suck unless you are going to yell at outfielders. You live and you learn! I also racked up lots of laughs in the second game because I yelled at Eric Hosmer..YOU ARE A TERRIBLE PERSON. I also told Moustakas I have his ticket ready for Omaha. Great times...

Saturday

Saturday was a bit of a let down. I didn't feel great most of the day. I went to eat at Hy-Vee's salad bar. They had soup that was off the chain. I hung around the house and played Tiger Woods. Royals won..Sporting KC laid an egg against the Timbers. Chance Myers had his first and second goals of his career which was cool. They brought out the new third kits which was cool, but they overall plaid like dog doo doo. They need to work on their defensive marking. They were turning the ball over in the mid-field most of the night as well. Gross effort. My friend Zack was on the intro-skit at Sporting Park. The game was fun I was extremely tired for some reason. I scooted out of Sporting Kc before the final whistle because I was out of it mentally. I am excited for the Royals game tomorrow. Double hitter. I will see if I can handle both the games?

Friday

Friday was a bit sucky to start off with. Just cleaning the apartment and the Jeep. I made sure to clean the inside of the jeep because it was trashy on thursday and the Royal Sporting Jeep has to be in game shape for game days. So Jason and Adam are a bit bummed because of the crappy weather, but we load up and head over to the K. It is called off. Litterally I had the guy 10 dollars and he said..it's just been cancelled I turn around and head to Power and Light. I had a good brisket sandwhich at Johnnys Tavern and I knew Vinnie would be there because he spends most his time at Mosaic at power in light. So Vinnie comes down out of his VIP room at Mosiac and hangs out for a bit and I was wound up talking to waitresses and everyone. Just being dumb. It was a fun night and there was a cute girl named courtney that was about my speed. It looked like she had just came from the library reading about womans rights and she smelled of goat urine. So I figure I would hit on her. She had a boyfriend, but the intereaction went well. I was pleased with the night and it was probably more fun than the Royals game. You have to go with the flow and roll with the punches make lemonade out of lemons and make a power and light trip out of a rain-out.

Saturday I got up and walked 2 miles. It felt good.

back an bicepts

Going to the Royals game tonight and skc on Saturday and back to the k on Sunday. Should be a fun weekend. I met up with Kurtis for lunch and talked about awesome awesomeness.

Thursday

Yesterday I helped Raymond move some things. I got a random girls number from black dog, and the Royals won a big game. James Shields is a true ace and Alex Gordon has the tools to be an mvp. Go Royals!

Tuesday

Tuesday was pretty boring. I was productive. I also have a cold or something that was dragging my energy down. I was able to work out, but I ate a bunch of candy. I met up with Bridey at black dog. Her friend Cameo was there. We goofed around and the Royals game was canceled. I played some Tiger Woods and went to bed. It looks like the Royals have a good shot at bringing up at .500 record on a brutal road trip. That is a good thing. Sporting KC will play this weekend against Portland. Portland has a guy that cuts a piece of lumber when they score a goal. Sporting KC has a guy that cuts briskit when we score a goal. Brisket bob is his name.

Saturday and Sunday closer look.

Saturday I got home after the truck race and I felt warn out. It was a feeling that I get after spending a day at arrowhead. Even sober, when I am outside for along period of time I get warn out and just feel wierd. So that passed and I went to Starbucks. Black dog has these crappy bands on saturday. When I say crappy I mean it is like some guy with a beard that plays folk music. It makes me want to break his neck like Steven Sagal in "above the Law" So "Race car" girl txts me to go out. I am firmly in the friend zone with her, but it would be nice to take a break from the guys to go hang out with a girl. At this point I am ok with me telling her the chicks I like and I am ok with her doing non christian things with guys. It is all good. I watched the sporting game and we had laughs. I was thinking in the back of my mind that I can't stay out all night because I have to get up and watch Nascar. She made fun of me for liking Nascar, but she likes cars so she can't give me too hard of a time. It was enjoyable to really be silly and dance and be wierd. At one point this hot girl walked across my path and I said this to her. "If I wasn't married I would hit on you"
It was funny because I am not married and it was the worst thing you could probably ever say to a girl. The people I was with laughed. So it was a good night and I got home and went to sleep and Sunday went great as I mentioned earlier.

The weekend and Monday workout acknowledgement.

Chest and tri's today...it was good

Nascar was really fun this weekend. I got up early to watch Sprint Cup practice before the Truck race. My mom got gift bags from 3M and other sponsorships. I was glad that my mom stood in line to get free stuff from the sponsors because I don't like to take advantage of free stuff by waiting in line. That is apart of race weekend that I don't partake in, but it was nice to see her enjoy free gift bags. My mom also rooted for the truck #29 because that is what day her birthday is. Matt Crafton won in what was a wild truck race. There were quite a few wrecks in the truck race. Onto Sunday...Sprint Cup was a good race. The first thing I noticed about Sprint Cup is how much faster they are than Nationwide and the Trucks. Kayne was trying to run down Matt Kenseth there towards the end, but couldn't make the pass. Kenseth was fast all weekend so it was no surprise that he won You have to be a brave soul to drive a car 190 mph and hope it sticks in the turn. Dale Jr got stuck in the pits during a caution...he came in in the middle of the pack. I was a bit bummed to see how #88 Dale Jr got shuffled to the back, but the important thing was there was some action up front. Sunday turned out to be a beautiful day weather wise. I am glad I don't drink anymore because there was many days were I would be too hungover to get out of bed and enjoy racing or baseball. I loved Nascar and baseball when I was in high school but then my attention just went towards partying and school work. Now that I getting away from partying it feels really good to watch the human spirit push a giant metal machine of death to it's limits at over 200 miles per hour. The NASCAR fans seemed to enjoy the day as well. There is nothing like the smell of grilling/booze/gasoline/burned rubber. Also there is nothing like NASCAR THUNDER. The Engines are truely thunderous.

The only thing that could have made the weekend suck was if it rained and it didn't rain so the weekend turned into an awesome weekend. So I am glad it all worked out because I have had NASCAR tickets for a couple months and I looked forward to going very badly. I had 33 pounds of kettle corn. That is a fact.Kettle corn is something I thank God for everyday I also had a hamburger with pulled pork on it. It was very good. Royals and Sporting KC sucked on Saturday, but the Royals came back strong on Sunday. Monday was ok....I got my teeth cleaned on Monday and the dentist sold me some prescription mouthwash and some prescription toothpaste last year and it has made a difference on my gums. My gums don't bleed so much and my teeth seem to be healthier. I email my dentist sometimes because I want to make sure my teeth are healthy enough to handle the 45 pounds of Oklahoma Joes I eat a week.

Friday

Friday seems like it should go well. It is Nascar weekend and that is cause for celebration. You ever have a problem that money, talking, etc won't solve? The older I get the more I understand that you can't always buy your way out of problems. For me it is important to have gratitude and to try to follow instruction from wiser men to cope with life. I am glad I have my TV. I LOVE.WATCHING TERRORISTS GET CAUGHT IN HD.

Royals and Sporting KC

The Royals won an important game today. Royals pitching has been off the chain. I hope the bats get going, but it is awesome to have a good rotation and a great bullpen. Hammer Holland shut the Braves down. Sporting KC got a huge road win against the Red Bulls. The game was physical...Sporting KC hasn't given up goals in the last three games and Collin headed a goal home to give KC the win. The MLS is physical and I thought there could have been multiple red cards. There was only won, but I am just glad KC got the win. Red Bull arena is tough to play and the Red Bulls have all the talent in the world but they don't play as a team. As of right now SPORTING KC is top of the table. I had a good time with Molly K, Kris Von F and Sarah F. They came over and watched the game with me.

acceptance

I found a good way to not get hung up into controlling everything is to use the prayer "whatever" in the morning and "Oh well" at night... Whatever means...whatever God brings into my life I will honor...and Oh well means I tried my best and I can't change the things that are in the past. It really brought some relief in some stress that I have because I want to control so much that is not in my control.

work out

walked a mile and worked back and biceps today.

vicky

Must be doing something right as a human to not get upset yesterday at the library. I took my book about team work back and they claimed it had water damage.I didn't think it die but whatever I paid for it and I won't be victim. Vicky Victims are bad. So I paid for the book and I plan on rereading it to get my 20 bucks out of it.

my long stories

My long storied and theory about getting out of comfort zone seemed to help my friend James. I drew a circle and dotted a problem outside the circle and showed him that once you grow and expand your circle it is now within your comfort zone. It seemed to help.

Dyson and Cain

With the ground Dyson and Cain cover in the outfield I hope Frnchy plays less. Dyson gives a threat that no other team in the league has. CAIN GORDON DYSON FASTEST OUTFIELD IN THE LEAGUE.

fitness center

On Sunday I was a bit bored. A perfect time to to the gym. I made sure just to enjoy the work out. I walked a mile and did bench and flies. I didn't push that hard because I felt I may have a cold coming on.

Longer review of Saturday and some of Sunday

Saturday I woke up and I wanted to make sure I did one thing. GO TO THE ROYALS GAME. So I called my parents up because maybe they would want to go. I bought the tickets and then I headed over to the game. So I got over to the ball park a cool 4 hours before game time. I decided to go to hooters and get fried pickles. It was awesome and there was some old dude who sat there talking about golf to me. He actually looked like the head coach from UCONN's womans basketball team. It wasn't though. Hooters was good for some reason, they have wings that are like Kentucky Friend chicken with hint of buffalo. They were great. I then went to the Royals parking lot and hung out with some people. Everyone was nice. I talked to a cute girl named CUJO who wanted to know why canadians seem so happy. I replied "free health care" The Royals lost, but James Sheilds pitched a complete game two hitter and they lost. It was a great night and I love spending quality good time with my parents. The Royals desperately need a power hitter. After I had some issues getting out of the parking lot I caught the end of Nascar at Texas and Bryce Doppleganger Kurt Busch won both the Nationwide race and the Spring Cup race. I woke up Sunday and no one wanted to go to the Royals game so now I ma just relaxing watching the Royals do work. My internet didn't work but now it is working again. My dad's back is hurt and it reminds me that my ribs are better.

Saturday

Saturday night was smooth and fun. My parents came down to watch the Royals lose. James Shields pitched a great game and it was a nice night out at the ball yard. I had a good time eating at hooters before the game. I got fried pickles and some wings. It was delicious and I am glad the day was enjoy-able.

progress

I have been working on being God centered for awhile. A year ago I would rely on txting girls I liked to provide enough good feeling to get through the day. Through hard work and prayer I no longer need to reach out to girls. I still reach out to some food for pleasure, but I wanted to give myself credit that I don't need outside things to make me feel good enough to get through the day. So I am thankful I recognized how much I relied on people places and things to make me feel good and I want to progress to having God and myself to feel good.

Mad Men season 6

I watched Mad Men on Sunday. It was an enjoyable start to the season. I love mad men podcasts as well. It helps me catch things to think about and to catch things I may have missed.

anthony robbins

I like to listen to Anthony Robbins tapes. They make me feel like I am on my way to adding a million dollars to my life. Adding meaning to my life and meaning to others around me is important to me. I like to talk about not letting people places and things getting you off course. I like to really have down in stone my goals of making more money, networking with people, and pushing out of my comfort zone. Just listed my goals on the blog makes me a bit uneasy, but I want it out for me to review and make sure I am building character and not going soft.

Wednesday

Big work load yesterday. Work..lifting..afterwork meetup at black dog. Didn't really have time to watch the Royals. I did catch a bit of them later on in the night. Wade Davis and Chen looking strong. Team looks different this year because they have some starting pitching. Need the Tigers to come back to earth this year.

cold hard fact

The cold hard fact about losing weight is sometimes you will be hungry. Sometimes you have to tell your body. Sorry body you have fat stores use that for energy first and we will talk about getting you some green beans later.

the max bet button on slot machines.

The max bet on slot machines are set up for people to hot on accident. You can't undue the max bet button. It just spins the wheel and eats your 30 cents. This is a hidden enemy at the casino. Now I am opening myself up for the question when did this happen. It happened in Vegas and at Argosy. It bugs me that it is set up to eat your money and that it probably happens to old people and dumbasses like me who accidently hot the button.

wednesday

The week is half over and that makes me feel good. It also makes me feel good to go out and get me some money so I can spend it watching the Royals win. There is nothing that helps the team more than me yelling at them to do well. My friends are more interesting as of late, they are really getting out there interacting with people. That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside seeing people grow and change. Yesterday I lifted weights and I grunted heavily. I am really working out hard and building muscle and I want to make sure people are aware that I am building muscle.so they don't try to sell.me books or something.

So seriously for a second it is important for me to acknowledge the work I put in the gym. It is really character building, productive and I am a better person for it. It is important to feel that feeling of success after crushing it in the gym. That way I can keep going and digging to become a better person.

weight room.

Chest and triceps today.

Monday

Monday day sucked. Most Mondays suck for people. I made it through because I am a man. I enjoyed the night. I went for a walk and I went to Black Dog. I laughed really hard at some jokes. It was a good night and I did my best to enjoy the moment.

Sunday

I am glad I don't have homework to do. I went to black dog yesterday and people were all into studying. I was like.... Nope.. I am going to be in 20 oz of black ass coffee. Adam and Jason seem to be doing well for themselves. We talked about girls and our girl situation has dried up. I am not trying to expand my friends or girls right now because I want to put my energy into working out, praying, and eating alright. This can be a struggle even though I focus on it. There was plenty to enjoy yesterday. I spent lots.of time outside on the deck and lots of time having laughs with the guys. I did 5 minutes of jokes about a woman's vest and overall I am enjoying the Monday as best as possible. The Royals really had a big win yesterday and I am looking forward to listening to the home opener today on the radio. I made some mp3's to help mw focus on my goals and surround myself with knowledge on how lucky I am to live in KC. I want to be mindful that I can see my favorite teams play every game.

Nice win for the Royals today Jimmy Johnson in victory lane

Nice win for the Royals today. Holland looks not good, but fan graphs shows that his pitches are moving like a bastard. Holland will be fun and how about Billy Butler. More like Billy Beastmode! Jimmy Johnson won at Martinsville and Dale Earnhardt Jr. didn't do well. I had a fun day with my dad watching the Royals and Nascar. Then I ended up the night with Jason and Adam at the Black Dog coffee house. It was a fun weekend.

Friday Sporting KC night

Friday was a battle to stay busy. Sporting KC played at night and it was beautiful all day. The Royals won a game I thought they were going to not win. They won it easily. Hosmer looked good and Bruce Chen did awesome out of the bullpen. Sporting KC played a game against D.C. United. It was very physical and rough. Sporting KC had a dramatic last minute goal to win the game. They are clutch like that and they are moving up the table. My Dad...The Byrdman..Kris..and his Finance was there. It was a wonderful night with an absolute SINFUL FINISH by Claudio Bieler. I will say this next line in my best Denny Matthews voice..

So that's that....and the Royals win...and Sporting KC wins.

Thursday

I had a better job with calories on Thursday. I watches videos on YouTube about burning fat and it seemed to motivate myself to push myself to forgo some foods in an effort to keep looking and feeling better. On Thursday night Jason and I went to Black dog. There were 4 or 5 people I knew there. There was a girl so small I couldn't tell if her phone was large or if she was in fact a midget. We talked about the hobbit most of the night then Kris came out. It was a good night with alot of coffee and goofing off.

Sporting KC tonight.

I am excited to see Sporting KC tonight. The weather should be good. Byrdman is preparing flight. Sporting KC has looked good and Handball United is a quality team to play. SKC looked great last week and I am pretty sure they will keep it going 3-0.

Royals win Guthrie the star of the game.

The first victory. Bats are still cold, but pitching is way better this year. Our rotation looks good and our bullpen is really good. Go Royals.

not throwing your remote

When you have a freak out not throwing your remote controller, your phone, or wrecking your jeep is a big time win. I noticed this the other day. I was driving all over the place stressed out and I focused on my driving. I made the mindful acknowledgement that if I didn't tear up my jeep in traffic that it would be a freaking miracle. I really want to stress that sometimes the way to make money is not tearing up your car, your remote, or your Xbox 360 controller. Also tearing down people to build yourself up doesn't work either. The only thing that helps me is prayer and do the right thing.

setting boundaries

If there is one character building aspect I would drive into a young man it is... Set and enforce boundaries. There is a song by Eminem called "No Love" where he describes a person that shows him nothing but hate and he enforces the boundary...no love for you no more. I set these guidelines for me as of late. I get put in a friend zone by a girl... And I go no contact. I don't spend enough time with my down and dirty friends. I am not thinking or wasting time on a girl a barely know that had put me in the friend zone. This is not coming from a place of butt hurt or bitterness. It is coming from a place that if so choose thoughts or actions to spend time and energy on a person it will be on a person that deserves it. There is this non straight girl that hangs out at black dog and she shows my friends and I nothing by hate. She wants attention and validation that she is important. It is a constant challenge to be respectful towards her but not to show her no love. She has been a blessing in my life because it gives me a chance to enforce boundaries. You can act like an attention whore but when it comes down to it. I am a kid from st joe avenue who's got a but of street in him. You aren't you going to sway a hustler like me off my values. I will admit that I do falter in my value of setting and enforcing boundaries, but the fact remains that I am mindful of ways this skill has helped me and helped others. There are boundaries for myself that have improved my life. One being from 5:30 to about 7:00 that is a time for me to decompress. I try put my phone on the counter and get away from the addiction of checking it every 5 seconds. I am setting more boundries that there needs to be specific quality time for me to meditate and to sit in silence. It then helps me when I hang out with people later. It also helps me figure out how I can be more effective. It turns our being out late at Perkins doesn't help me.in the morning at work. I have set and enforced the boundary going to bed earlier and it has improved me life. This has been my blog of reflecting about boundaries and how to enforce them. Stay busy... Talk to people...take action...give love to who deserve it.

people are not as dynamic as you think.

As much as I want to believe that the tatoo'd chicks will eventually see me as a hard working good guy... And then to be attracted to mw... The fact remains they are attracted to rough dudes who beat them, drug addicts, tatoo artist and motorcycle dudes. I have made some strides to be rougher, but still not enough to attract a rougher lady. It is all good though and I am at peace with it. I just want to get down on my blog that I can't deny the facts. The best course of action is to grow and character build. Also being a butthurt jerk towards the facts of life never help.

Living Life on lifes terms

People places and things...Wow they sure can do things I don't want them to do. People can make me upset and let me down, places can underwelm me...and things. Dogs can die people can die..Basically life is how you react to all of these things. My parents put down their dog today and it was very sad. I can't take away someones grief and I loved the dog as well. I have a hard time celebrating the lives of people when they are gone. I want to wallow in my sorrow, but that just makes me bring other people down. So I prayed very hard today. I just have faith that I don't know the whole story. What I can see and hear is just a fraction of the big picture. The prayer I always try to say is "God direct my thinking" when I do that it helps me focus on what I have and how I can help. I was listening to Tony Robbins and he talked about how he went to a morgue and he saw a person dead that was his age. He was just like...I have no problems compared to that person. Tony Robbins also loves to talk about taking problems and turning them into chances to improve..or a chance to reflect...or a chance to grow. One of my other friends had a freak out today. I know he feels like crap tonight, but I love him and I told him that he is doing good. I have had my freak outs-my flip outs-my over reactions. I liked to think I am matured enough to not over-ract anymore, but you never know. For me I call my someone when I am freaking out because I know myself and I know that I can take a problem and do something dumb like wreck my jeep over it or punch a wall. I ain't got time for that. So I have some praying to do and yes the Royals suck balls, but tonight I am going to focus on the fact my family is alive and healthy, that I have a decent relationship with them, and the fact that I can ask God to direct my thinking so I can help others.

Cards win...Baltimore wins..

Matt Holiday parked one as St. Louis won. Baltimore Wierdlooking Birds won on a Chris Davis home run. Tampa Bay lost with David Price on the mound which doesn't happen often. Matt Wieters also went deep for Baltimore. He is a switch hitting bad boy catcher. He hit one that went over some fencing they had set up out in the outfield.

I like listening to other baseball games...that is what I did with my Tuesday night. Listened to baseball games and I played some FIFA 2013. I got a dvd copy of "The Hobbit" in the mail. I watched a couple minutes of it and there was already a dragon in it.

weights

Upright rows and shoulder presses at the gym. The guy working is blasting link in park.

Hosmer looked ok yesterday.

Not good or bad. That is a good sign

rough time with my diet

I have felt not great lately which leads me to eat sugar and crap just trying to get by. I did eat veggies instead of fries on Friday and I continue to lift weights. I have it in my mind that I am going to start to pay the price and eat better again one day. I know it takes sacrifice, effort, and it character builds yourself. So that is where I am at right now. I am still jiggle way too much and I know if I can just pay the price I could get down to 180 or so, but right now I am just not at that point to make that sacrifice. It is in my mind that it is something I will work towards in the future. I know without my health I can't do the things I love. I have to give it up to my family though we are healthy enough to go to a crap ton of events.

Darn

The Royals lost, but I thought they looked good. It makes tomorrows game important. If they come back to the K 1-5 or some horse crap Yost and Dayton will be on the hot seat. I am planning on going to some games this year, but I am remembering why I don't go past June or so. It is because the game doesn't matter. Most of Sporting KC's games matter especially down the stretch. They are in contention for the supporters shield, the U.S. Open cup.. or Top of the Table..or the playoffs. Like I said though I will be positive until they are 15 games back or so. Luckily they have some pitching this year and momentum is only as good as your next starting pitcher.

I was able to get to the gym today to do triceps and chest. I skipped a day yesterday to focus on just using energy to enjoy easter, so I am going to try to get backed to Chest-Triceps day 1 Shoulders day 2 Biceps back day 3 legs day 4 then day off. I did a good job getting to the gym and using dumb bells today.

opening day

Lets go Royals.
