How naughty you are! I like that.
I'm working on a pretty good fantasy that involves you and James--and maybe some jousting....
Only thing is, I think we'd need a couple of horses and a couple of castles as well. Have either of you got any medieval garb in your closets? I'm sure Sheryl does, but it's probably made of rubber.

Can you change this when it's TLD and it'll be you, me and Sheryl?

Hi ya Steve!

I'm certain we could dig up something.
ahem...

Do I know you?
How goes it Brit? Miss ya around here.
Can you change this when it's TLD and it'll be you, me and Sheryl?

Hi ya Steve!
DO NOT, I say again.... DO NOT come in here trying to steal business away from me. My manager/pimp is an incredibly cruel, strong, perverted goddess who will whoop anyone's ass who tries directly competing against me.
Oh yea....
And good morning.

I have nothing that would fit that, sadly...
But since we gotta wait till next year, that gives us time to prep with SSP, steve. Hrmm... how can I use a medicine ball to get me ready to roll in a caged ball onto a platform whilst being chased by two feathered hair freak shows...

Let me see if I can find something on pubmed that would help us.

Well pardon me while I "flick my collar." Damn. That was hot. HA!
Well that's simple. Take your medicine ball along with you and paint it "flesh toned." Attach flesh tone colored medicine ball to the front of your pants. Go to a high end hair salon and announce in a sexy, manly voice, "Which one of you studs, wants to run your fingers through my hair?" If that doesn't work, steal their scissors and run like hell. Making sure to keep it faced downwards, of course. Ten bucks, you'll be dodging "feather haired freaks" left and right. They all want a piece of the James.
Morning, homeboy.

hrmm... that's an interesting idea, sheryl... I could just go down to boy's town with assless chaps on, and a big target painted on my ass. Lots of dodging / juking, and plenty of motivation.
Of course, I live in the south... they don't have a "boys town" here, just gym locker rooms.

That's funny, because a lot of my gay friends from the south say that the south's full of "Steers and Queers." I think someone's lying to me.... James.
Back on track, my random thoughts
I stare into the mirror and fear fills every orifice of my mind. Questions abound with every thought. Will I succeed? Is it possible? What will it cost? How long will it take? Will it be worth it?
There are so many questions.
Fear creates doubt and doubt creates inconsistency. Inconsistency yields failure.
I keep staring.
I keep thinking.
I start thinking about those who have walked this path before. Many people have achieved what I want. If they can do it, why can’t I?
I start to see the spotlight I’m shining on nuances that matter little. Will I succeed? Why the hell should I doubt myself? Is it possible? There isn’t a person on the planet that can answer that question, so why spend time focusing on it? Jump in and get my hands dirty; that’s the only way I’ll ever find out. What will it cost? That’s about the dumbest question I’ve ever asked myself… kind of mad that thought was even floating around in my mind at this stage in the game. I should be asking myself what will it cost if I don’t do this. How long will it take? Duh Steve, time isn’t the issue. Success is the issue…. the answer is however long it takes to succeed and not a second sooner.
Will it be worth it?
You better fucking believe it. I embrace my goals. Screw doubt and fear.
I start to think about those I know who have passed. If it were possible, what would they give to have one more day here to do the things they loved?
It becomes very evident that my mind is in constant disruption. I’d be willing to bet most everyone’s minds are the same. We battle between our natural inclinations/desires and what we consciously want out of life.
Even if we want something bad enough, an antagonistic thought will always exist deep in our minds. Personally, if I don’t work at keeping these antagonists at bay, everything falls apart. The natural tendencies of my mind always win if they are left uncontrolled. Grab hold of the spotlight I mentioned above and shine it on what matters most. Just as you have a choice in how you act, you have a choice in how you think and what you focus on.
What I want in this life in terms of health, fitness, and physique isn’t easily achieved. Some would consider the prerequisites to be barbaric and torturous. Some of the steps will involve pain. Some of the steps I will hate.
Left uncontrolled, my mind will certainly disrupt any form of consistency and without said consistency; my goals will never be reached.
It’s time to step up to the plate and focus on these realizations. It’s time to realize the power of perception and grab life by the horns instead of letting it grab me.
These are random thoughts that go through my mind. When some people think of fitness, they think of me. But even I struggle. Leaving my mind unattended literally wreaks havoc on my pursuits.
Many here never even think about the influences of their thought patterns. Most likely, this is why we see so many people struggling with motivation and consistency. I said in another post that I want to start a thread come the New Year about some of the sciences and techniques related to human development, perception, and thoughts. I’ve got to get my own head right before I start that thread though.
What brought this on was two-fold.
1) I’ve been struggling with consistency and not practicing what I preach. I’m extremely busy right now due to multiple factors. But that should never be an excuse. This particular goal is what makes me happy…. without it I am nothing. So I need to make some changes, psychologically speaking.
2)I had a dream. Some would call it a nightmare I guess. I had this dream last Friday. A few years back one of my best friends crashed his motorcycle. I was young and just figuring life out for myself at the time and it literally sent my reality and perception of what life is into a million different direction and pieces. It was as if I was so close to finishing an enormous jigsaw puzzle and then a large hand came down and simply bashed it on the floor into pieces. And from that point forward it was up to me how I put the puzzle back together.
In this dream, I literally relived that day I found out Cory crashed. The dream came in pieces but it was very vivid and I relived every moment. Cory’s spine was literally ripped in half. He lived for a week or so in the hospital but he was paralyzed from the nose down. He’d never talk, walk, or eat on his own again. In the dream, I went to see him in the hospital. It completely matched the reality of my real visit.
You don’t forget something like this. But sometimes you bury the realizations you make while experiencing such circumstances. When I awoke from the dream, it was like I had made all of these realizations over again, and they were fresh in my mind.
There are a lot of points I’m trying to make, and I’m not directing this at anyone in particular. Actually no one at all. I’m treating my ‘diary’ as a diary for once and writing what’s been going through my mind as of late.
But the biggest point I’m trying to make is, each and every single day I think we need to spend some time to evaluate ourselves and where we are heading.
Personally, I’ve decided to set my alarm 10 minutes earlier each weekday and sit and ‘meditate’ I guess you could call it. Basically, I want to start off each day with a direction and goal. I want to consistently cultivate a mindset that is aligned with being driven in the desired direction. We’re all driven. We are goal striving mechanisms, no matter the quality of the goal. I need to be more than driven. I need to be steered. Only I can do that, and I think that’s the part most people forget about. It’s not just about motivation. Motivation fuels drive. But what fuels the steering component?
More on this later.
