Journey, Not A Destination

I don't do myspace... ever...

I was there once -and got scared by the really bad design of entirely too many bad pages (though someone did point out a firefox plug in that gets rid of all teh crappy myspace code that people use :D )- i could feel the brain cells just disengrating...
 
She has sex appeal but I could never hold a conversation with her. She seems annoying as all hell.
 
I don't do myspace either though I've had a few people tell me that my company should get a page. I don't know why... I suppose hits, but just doesn't seem my style.
 
myspace....its sad really....it's become such a world of it's own on the social front...I can't tell you how many times one of the girls in the office has been like "and then his ex gf left this really flirty comment on his myspace"

One of the guys I work with -does a lot of work with bands.. and most clubs won't book bands unless they have a myspace page with tons of friends... it's a way of getting people in the clubs...

I can't see it helping your business much... you'd probably get a better class of people onf acebook - though that's as annoying as all giddyup as well..
 
Yea, I am on facebook somehow. An old friend invited me to her page and in a matter of minutes, PRESTO, I had a page. Since then I've gotten requests from all sorts of people I was never close with to 'be friends.'

Interesting.

I don't ever log in.

I think I'll stick with my humble forum life here on the world wide web.
 
In all honesty - as your friend (here and on facebook too :) your potential clients are going to come from people who have a relationship with you currently - doesn't matter whether it's an online medium or real life... or know of you thru someone you are currently working with...

You've got enough of an online presence and have proven yourself to be legit... that you've got a big pool to fish from .
 
Thanks Mal. Although I hate the idea of fishing for clients...

I know you didn't mean it like this but I will never whore out my services. I've watched some trainers I know go from having a positive web presence to almost no interaction outside the confines of their businesses.
 
That one was brutal. They've all been pretty intense but that one took the cake. I'm toying with my thresholds of recoverability. I think a lot of people get stuck in the idea of doing too much.

While it certainly happens, especially with crazy crackhead model wannabes who refuse to eat and run until they're nausious... I think a lot of people have room to toy with.

It's fun pushing the envelope a bit.

I'm really not the suck up that I appear to be- -well I am but generally only whenit has some benefit to me... sucking up to you doesnt get me anything so it's got no ulterior motives.

anyone who's spent more than 2 1/2 minutes with you knows that you place a high value on your own ethics and integrity and your partner and friend are the same way... you wouldn't sell out and compromise who you are and what you represent for a few dollars... be who you are and love what you do and the money will find you..

Ok now flex for auntie mal... :D I haven't harassed in like minutes :D

Nope. It only gets you busier.

You suck up to me

I hire you for zero dollars an hour to help me with my site.

Everyone wins.

Err, I mean....

I win.

:p

That I appreciate more than you know.
 
Thanks for the stretching advice Steve. It hard to get good answers sometimes. I swear I read one article for beginning weight trainers that said " A 10-20 minute stretch before and after" and then later in the same article his other "tip" was to "Get in, get out. Do your lifts and don't socialize. You should spent 45 min-1h in the gym" Not bad advice, but how in the hell do you stretch for 40 minutes and leave in an hour?

I am more tired and sore than I have been in a long time. I'm going to take it easy over the next 10 days before my half marathon :) I don't know how you manage to do such intense workouts...oh yeah, it's because you in hella good shape. LOL

Hahaha, I've seen crap like that too.

If I'm not out of the gym in 60 minutes, generally speaking, something is wrong.

Look at it like this; if you're doing your 10 minutes of dynamic stretching stuff before lifting, you're well ahead of most everyone else. At least based on what I see in the gym. Geez, I mean, people look at me like I'm an alien when I'm doing my dynamic stuff while they sit there doing their static stretching.

I saw that you were real sore in your journal.

You need to get yourself a foam roller!

And do some active recovery, like short walks, light stretching, etc

So your half marathon is in 10 days?
