putting effort into working out.

Working out is such a mind game. I have to remember the hardest part of anything is just getting going. Then it becomes easier. I just have to get to the gym or get to the treadmill and it becomes easier. Listening to music helps with the boredom. Also writing blogs helps with not bored/eating.

Monday

Monday was pretty productive. I really wanted to clean the place and try to do some productive things. I applied for some jobs. (One with Geico haha). I cleaned the apartment. I rode the bike at the apartment complex office. I lifted some weights. I got some banannas and some smart one dinners. I overall had a pretty good day. Mike called me and wanted to jam, but I am not in the mood today. I went to see some old people at the sober house. That was probably my highlight of the day. They aren't so old they don't know who they are, but they are old enough to give me a sense of how small my problems really are. I am bored right now and I don't want to eat that is why I am blogging this out. I also cleaned my jeep today and cleaned the cooler out in the jeep.

Fathers Day

Fathers day went well. We went out to eat and watched Man Of Steel with my dad and family. My dad is a man of few words especially when my sister and I are around talking about our lives. My dad is the best dad ever and I gave him a card to explain that to him in english. The weekend was filled with lots of fun times. Byrdman, Jason, and I went out. We had laughs at the black dog. We also hung out at the pool. There was even some tennis being played. It was hours and hours of fun. It was nice for Byrdman to hang out all day because that is a rare thing these days. I am still looking for a job, but I heard that a guy was going to be calling me soon. I don't know why everything takes forever, but I guess everything happens when it is supposed too. Atleast that is what I read on a fortune cookie back in Springfield. My lucky numbers were 3-4-5-6-7 btw on that same fortune cookie.

The band I am in are working to get our song on the internet. I am excited just because I had to overcome lots of crap just to stick with it this long. My chops aren't very good, but I have had more time to play as of late, so I am probably the best that I will ever be at guitar at this moment. I really missed having the time and energy to play guitar, but it is nice to take advantage of the extra time to jam and play.

Summer is going well.

Summer is going well. Kurtis, Jason, Adam, Byrdman, Kris, Bridey, and some others have all been hanging out. It seems like we are all doing well. Kurtis and I go out and do lots of talking to people and lots of joke stacking. Or Joke riffing. It has been very fun. Rob has been out and he is cool as well. Yesterday I sat down with Rob with two beautiful girls. Like very attractive. Rob is a big guy and girls love to look him. I think girls check him out more than I have ever seen. Anyway the girl I got matched up was not what I like in a girl, but she was very nice. I went from thinking she was aweful to ok...I can see why she is so ADD. It was a fun night and it is nice to have a group of guys that worked out having fun so we can go out and have adventures.

Doing what it takes to get the job done.

Sometimes swallowing your pride is what it takes to work together and get the job done. For me I really have to get rid of the ego and focus on getting better or moving forward to get thejob done.

June 5th

Today I had an interview. It went well and I overcame the weather and other problems to get there. I don't know how it will turn out, but I did well for myself. The Penguins are playing like crap and I hope they can turn it around. The Royals are pretty much done, which is a bummer....NFL kick off is coming soon.

This week in general was pretty fun. Jason, "The Byrdman" and I had a great time on Saturday. The sayings and the crap we got into reminded me of the days when I would go down to the lake with the guys. It is nice to have an adventure. I was really tired on Sunday and so was Jason. We stayed up very late. Nascar is in Iowa this weekend. I don't think I will go, but it would sure be fun to do so.

I have been playing Tiger Woods golf for Xbox360. It was pretty much blah at first, but it really was fun once you get going. I always play Fifa and this CAPCOM FAVORITES video game. I have also been playing lots of guitar and recording it with my phone. When I play it back it is fun to play along to or make a solo out of.

Kurtis and I hung out on Tuesday at the Black Dog. It was boring, but it was an alright night. I like to spend as much time outside in the good weather with good friends as possible.

lifting today

I am doing chest and triceps today. I am going easy on myself as any lifting I do right now is fine by me. Just trying to work through some sets.
