The Workout Regime Vs The Legion of Doom Monday, July 21, 2008

I've recently endeavored on a new workout that involves 30 sit-ups and 30 push-ups three times a day, in addition to 30 minutes on the treadmill each morning and some random little exercises with 2lb hand weights from Wal-Mart. This is an effort to get my body into a shape other than "out of" and a tone something other than "deaf." It works quite well, when I remember to do it. The problem, however, lies in the fact that I would much rather catch up on Pushing Daisies or stumble around the internet.

I'm not an inactive person; I just don't do the things I used to do. I imagine the biggest change occurred sometime in my youth (my younger than 24 youth) when the friends I used to run around the neighborhood and shoot hoops with suddenly decided that they would rather read than play outside. Now, I'm all for expanding the mind, but when you're ten years old and it's a beautiful day in the middle of summer, when it's not too hot and the humidity is practically zero, and you just want to run around and stomp on potato bugs, to be denied that opportunity and be excluded because you haven't quite grown up yet is quite the blow.

Granted, I still haven't grown up just yet. Some days I would love nothing more than to run around outside and stomp on potato bugs, I just cannot motivate myself to do it. It's my biggest flaw, motivation. It's something that I hope this new workout regime helps me with. I've made charts and graphs and sheets full of little ticky boxes so that I can keep an avid record of my progress. I figure being able to view my work as some tangible may help me in the process.

This theory remains to be proven.

The Obligatory Introduction Post Sunday, July 20, 2008

Well, here it is. I have finally succumbed to much peer pressure (well, maybe a dollup of peer pressure, and much personal desire) and entered the world of the "blogosphere." I've long felt that I should have one of these, if only because I fail to remember every random happenstance that occurs, and that is something that niggles away at my core.

Anyway, my purpose here is to keep people who probably don't really care up to date on the events within my life ranging from my opinion on the best band no one's ever heard of to in dept theses on how McCain is the final cylon, and Obama will lead us all to Earth.

I've never been the best with introductions, so I suppose I'll leave you now with a peek my latest, not yet finished project:
