Venting at 2:06am

Its 2:06 am and I am sitting here in front of my computer browsing the web and listening to Disciple. I am proud to say that this Saturday I will be stepping onstage for my first Natural Bodybuilding show. Yes, I will be standing up there in front of a large crowd in these tinny posing trunks. Some may question what I do and say that I am wasting my time. My family sometimes look at me like I am an odd ball because I come to family gatherings with my own food and wont eat what they have prepared. I bring protein shakes to concerts and never leave home without planning out my meals. Hey, what about the guy that collects comic books or the one that collects stamps?? How about the girl who...whatever...What I am trying to say is that everyone has something they love to do and we should respect that. Its not easy to diet for 3 long months doing tons of weight training on top of marathon cardio sessions. Birthdays come and you don't even eat a piece of cake.Some say I sound like I am complaining but I am not. I am just venting here and telling you how I feel at the moment. I will be honest with you I have been a little down lately because someone who I thought cared about me was messing with me feelings. When you are dieting and trying to fit people into your busy schedule that is the last thing you need. I do try to focus on the positive things that are happening to me but I am human. June 26Th is the big day. As a child I used to dream about appearing on a fitness magazine and having a great body. This Saturday I will be competing in a Natural Bodybuilding show and next month I will appear in 2 fitness magazines...I know some people are busy and probably did not bother to read this blog because its too long..but for those of you who have.I want to tell you that if you really want something if you believe in yourself and work hard for it you can do it. Thank you for supporting me and God Bless you!!!

WILL THE REAL SLIM SHADY PLEASE STAND UP!!!

Sitting here listening to Eminem's new songs I forgot how talented and emotional this artist really is. I know you might bring up his funny songs and video humping a dead moose blah blah blah... Now if you sit down and listen to his serious work you will realize that he puts a lot of emotions into these songs. I am not promoting Eminem. I am trying to make a connection here. Now let me get to my point..There are very few individuals out there that show their true emotions. Many individuals walk around with a mask and tell us things they think we want to hear. The saying "actions speak louder than words" never gets old. Someone can make you feel great for a moment by telling you all these great things but their actions say otherwise. What I have learned is that we must try to improve everyday . I agree that there are many evil individuals out there, but that does not give us a reason to fall into depression and lose our soul. It is very common for us to fall victim to those lies we are told by those who claim to love us. Unfortunately when the mask comes off and they show their true colors a lot of us feel like its the end of the world. Notice how when a relationship ends the first thing a person wants to do is listen to sad songs and do harm to their body. We choose to over or under eat and fall into drugs and alcohol as a cure. As we all know that is no cure if anything we are doing more harm. What we must do is learn from the experience and try to improve. No matter how many times we get hurt we must continue to to strive for improvement so that we will heal. Nothing is easy in life and I know you might say "its easy for you to say that" or "its simply said than done" but you know what if you wanna through slogans here is one "practice makes perfect" if we practice on improving our lives everyday we will perfect our ability to do so. Stay Blessed!!
