I had the most insane experience of my life just the other day, I must share it with you! In all reality it was not all that insane, more or less just awkward on many levels.

As you may or may not know, I go to bed early and rise early all in the name of fitness. One early morning (before 6 a.m.) I was finishing up my workout with some decline sit-ups with a 45 lb weight, really intense. An old man happened to be standing there watching me, well it seemed at the moment he was, I was not sure so I forgot about it. I continued doing sit-ups and he was still there, extremely uncomfortable right? Finally I put down my 45 lb weight and look up at him and said just like so, "Yes?" He quickly walked away and said nothing.

The way I see it, if he wanted to stare at me that badly he could have just asked. I would have told him that he may but only from a distance. I always try to be as outspoken as possible but really I couldn't think of anything else to say to the man.

Check out this article if you are an old man.

Old men in the gymnasium are to put it nicely, disgusting, at least in the locker room that is. They have no regard for other people and don't see the need to cover up their junk. I don't have a fear of showering in the locker room, I do almost every day, the one thing I do not do is walk around completely naked; the old men have no shame and do walk around completely naked. When I am finished showering I promptly grab my towel and where that towel when I am shaving or brushing my teeth. Old men do not. Then I dress. I will even have a conversation amidst the aforementioned activities, I do not put my foot and the bench and talk about sports, the weather, and how hot the 180 degree sauna is, it's 180 degrees, we get it, the temperature is on the thermometer.

Every gym should have 2 male locker rooms, one for anyone under 40, and another one that smells like old spice.

My mobile blogging site is officially dead so don't go there... if you ever did?

Goals, goals, goals; I always seem to have many set for myself, both long term and short term.



Short term goals of mine include a promotion and continuing school in the fall. I know that continuing school may not seem like much of an accomplishment, but you must understand my distain for school and homework. I always love to learn new and interesting things but I don’t like the system that higher education has setup, where you are graded on homework. I hate homework, when I get home I don’t want to work I want to rest.

Long term goals always include health and fitness, graduating, and more promotions. Also right now I plan on buying a house in the next two years at least that would be ideal. In ten years I see myself hopefully with my MBA and also I plan to have a positive net worth by the time I am 30. That does not sound difficult but really I would have to have my mortgage paid down 50% unless my homes value had gone up substantially plus my mountain of student loans would need to be considerably paid down.

Most of my goals revolve around my finances, mainly because the only way I am going to achieve anything is by being financially secure.

The phrase mind over matter has been something that has enveloped my thoughts as of late; why? I do not really know, but when I ponder the phrase's meaning it helps me focus on my work out. Fitness is a huge part of my life, mainly because I used to be the size of the house and have since changed extraordinarily; diet and exercise have become a constant in order to maintain my 105 lb weight loss. Well I used to be 105 lighter now I have gained 35 lbs, I like to think that all 35 lbs are muscle. In fact I was trying to do a triathlon last summer but I inured my ankle so running has been a most painful experience for a while now.

Recently I have embarked on a major life change! In my life change I have decided to alter my body, attitude, revaluate my friendships, and the different activities that I take part in as well. My goal date is my 21st birthday which is August 3rd of this year. (Mark your calendars!) When I say goal date I don't mean that I am unhappy with myself but rather I know that I can be better, this date is when I want to achieve a total reform!

Feeling like one can always better themselves, I believe, is a good attitude. Meaning that one is always striving to accomplish something greater, people have not reached their accomplishments today being idle homebodies, rather people get out into the world and work to create their lives. Why doesn't everyone have this idea or philosophy? I am definitely slothful at times but when I am, guilt overwhelms me, though I may not always be motivated by said guilt.

Everyone should set goals for their lives! Even if you never accomplish them don't be down on yourself but rather keep striving to attain your goals. That is my soap box, thanks for listening.
