Any thoughts?
Gord and I met with the tattooist the other day and showed him the design for our logo we had thought about. He didn't give us much input, but we said we like this concept and don't like the clutter.
He's drawing something up now.
But he asked me this question and I have no clue how to answer. Any thoughts?

I can go both ways - graphic - because it's modern and young looking - and it's a young business...
but illustrative -- becuase it's more old school and that's pretty much where your focus is - old school technique -nothing new and gimmicky about it...

Good plan...
He's the creative one... sounds like he's got a lot of room to be creative - so see what he comes up with - and if you don't like it - it's helpful to point out what you don't like or what you do like so he can adjust accordingly..
I didn't say this before but cool idea going to a tatto artist... they are some very creative folks

Yea... it was a shot in the dark to see if they'd even do it. They are very close to where I live and I heard they do excellent work. When I met the guy, he was stand up and professional.... get it done type of guy. I'm anxious to see what he comes up with.
I can't tell if we're on the same page or not.... I'll only know that when I see what he draws.

Do how's the logo looking?
Wow, this journal sucks anymore. I need to start maintaining this junker.
So I'm feeling a lot better but I didn't work yet again today. For those who don't know.... I didn't work yesterday either. It's been a nice, mental vacation. I hoped to get more done. The only thing I can honestly say I worked hard at is reading the entire NASM book. Now that I'm done it, I can say it's an extremely easy read from my perspective. There's something to be said considering I'm a slow reader and I'm done it in a week. I might schedule the exam this weekend if I feel like it. Or next weekend.
I'm taking this week off from the gym. Next week was supposed to be my off week. I'm pissed I got sick.... as this week was going to be my max week in lifts.
But my body was screaming for a break anyhow. Funny how many aches and pains pop up when it's that time in my program planning. My elbows hate me.
The guy who started training with me in January is down 17 lbs to date with zero cardio, lol. That's cool news. I'm very happy for him as he's my best friend in the world and he finally caught the fitness bug.
Hmmm, what else......
I've 100% decided that I'm not buying the financial advising firm I'm associated with. They don't know this yet. They will not know this until the topic is next brought up. Considering the start of the purchase is supposed to happen this year, I'm sure it will be sooner than later. I'm nervous of what the outcome will be. I could be jobless after they find out.
Roll with the punches though, right?

Not sure yet. I haven't heard from the guy in a few days. I think he probably had his child (wife was pregnant) which could delay the process a bit. Though I'm anxious to see how it turns out, I'm in no rush. That site is far from being done.
Lyle says rest weeks are good for you but you knew that
You will land on your feet... whatever happens it was meant to be and you're working towards securing the future that you really want -not the one that's just convenient...
You got it dude...
Whatever the future brings - you will deal...

Yup, I take a lot of weeks off each year. I was just hoping I could squeeze out one more week to hit my max lifts in the core exercises. Didn't happen. I only got down to sets of 3 reps. I'll be fine though since I'm overhauling my entire routine come next week.

Hi Steve. Sorry to hear you were sick. How is your friend doing? I mean the one who was in a coma and might have brain damage.
Oh, and where the hell is Sheryl? Have you talked to her lately?

Thanks Kimberly.... my friend is doing really well. A few months of therapy and he'll be 100%, thankfully.
Sheryl, yea, I've talked to her recently.... she was taking a break from the net last I heard but doing okay.

Wow, it's already Wednesday. I've been extremely productive over the last few weeks. It feels very good.
With training, as I said yesterday, I have the week off. I'm doing a lot of static flexibility work and self-myofascial release (foam rolling). It's amazing the difference in my body in terms of mobility and pain after consistent foam rolling. I really need to remain consistent with it permanently.
I'm really working out some 'kinks' I have in the hip flexor area as well as the shoulder complex.
Over the weekend I was asked to be in two weddings this upcoming year. Both are cousins.... should be a good time.
Random thought of the day:
There aren't enough hours in a single day. It's insane.

Quote of the day
The new standard. The past is irrelevant. Your dead end town, the job you hate, your friends that can't relate, the opinions of a family that doesn't understand… All equally meaningless. Fuck the short change, the dirty deeds and the tough breaks. Forget the lapses in judgment, the flaws in character and the decisions you wish you could get back. The new standard begins today. Born of the bubbling cauldron of dreams and ambitions blended with your concept of an ideal life, mixed with the manner in wish you always wished you'd presented yourself, this teeming amalgamation must be allowed to boil over, to spill into the nooks and the crevices of your existence, drowning out the failures of yesteryear. So much of who we are is predicated on how others react to us. So much of our perception of self grows forth from the reactions of others. This new standard demands that you present yourself in a fashion befitting your stature and in turn people will treat you accordingly. Hold yourself to the dictates and demands of this lofty archetype that you yourself have established. Be damned what the world expects of you, it should pale in comparison to what you expect from yourself. For when you demand only excellence, even your low points will exceed the best days of your peers. Look in the mirror and be proud of the man you've become, hold your head high enthused over the man you're becoming. The future begins now. This is the new standard.

I'm OK with being one of the boys -i've worked hard for that.. but i really don't want to become a man... I like my female parts for the most part
But awesome quote

Hi, Steve.
I like the name of your diary, so thought I'd check it out. I'm really glad I did.
Wow...This is the best thing I've read in a while. I'd like to be able to do that. Hell, I'm going to try really hard to be able to do that.
I'm new around here and am just getting to know the community. Hope ya don't mind me poppin' in to say hello.
