I have it straightened out! The next year will be great!! I know what I have to do to do what I want to do and I am set. Im excited and cant wait until I get to LA. The passed month and a half sucked for me personally but im still pulling through. Im just glad I have you guys and everyone else to keep me positive and keep my mind off of things. But I have it finally layed out and I know what I have to do and I have it in my sights now.

R.I.P MJ and Farrah

I have planned my next three years. Time to take life and go for it now. So now all I got to do is save save save!
Destination: LA in a year

Alright update: I fucked up majorly last month. Im a fucking major asshole because of it and i hate me. I was blind, and without thinking I threw it all away. Ive been driving around hoping to get her off my mind but things bring her up again. I erased some of my emails yesterday and ran through some of hers and her pictures and i lost it, again. Shouldnt be feeling this way I know, but I will. But the decisions i made were decisions made so now i have to live with it.  I have to watch out for my actions and not say things that i mean so early, maybe i shouldnt even say it at all. I know things are meant to be but I dont think this was supposed to happen. I was just stupid and didnt even think about it. I dont know anymore. Ill concentrate on me for now.
Other than that Ive been busy as hell at work. Weve been pulling in work left and right for the passed month and ive been running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Trying to rest on the weekends and now training twice a day because comp is not far away even though its a few months out i cant slack. In all actuality i only have 2 more months until i start cutting up for the next 3 months after. Sorry I havent hung out in a while. Filming again is fun and i signed up with another agency. So I have to sit down and plan my next 3 years, hoorah. Photo shoot Sunday, need to get my wardrobe in place. Hope everyone is all doing well, have a great weekend!

Well its been awhile since i did something i could get arrested for
all the girls i ran around with dont run around no more
those days of racing cars and closing down bars are winding down i feel like the only cowboy left here in this town

cuz i raised enough hell for my next fifty years, dodgin work, chasin skirts and shotgun'n beers
i need to act my age so i've been told, but man this growing up is getting old

Yea my buddy and I use to raise em high and stay out til four
but his new wife wont let me crash on the couch no more
even he said man aint it time to tone it down, now thats the last thing i thought i'd ever hear come from his mouth

cuz we raised enough hell for our next fifty years, dodgin work, chasin skirts and shotgun'n beers
i need to act my age so i've been told, but man this growing up is getting old

like a wild horse with such a tame i got a wild streak thats hard to break

cuz i've raised enough hell for my next fifty years, dodgin work, chasin skirts and shotgun'n beers
i need to act my age so i've been told, but man this growing up is getting old

Got up early to train feeling pumped and ready to go! Haha!!
Started off with half pump squats maxed all the way to 405 lbs 6 times.
Went off to a killer leg press routine which counted 80 reps.
And to my normal burnout routine leg ext - ham curls - and indiv. curls.
Completed with calf raises seated and a dorsiflexion workouot...wow!

That is all.
Thank you for listening TEEHEE!!!

What is this?

Arm wrestled 4 guys last night including John and my cousin Sean...beat em all. HAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Happy!
Thats all I can say.

ISSA training is going great. Taking my time to learn more and understand but at the same time trying to move as fast as I can so I can get it done before my trip to see Jessa, which Im super stoked if no one had guessed ;). I need to get away from the west coast for a while. Soon Ill be able to get my certification and start training people and have my own business.
A lot is going on for me right now. School is going good, having a hard time with my group project but I have confidence were going to do great. This semester is gonna be great at the end. Training for the show is going great. Carlos is going to help me with my posing routine and Tabby is helping me with the music, transitions, and dance movement...yes dance! Im so EXCITED for this years show! I want to take another one home and be another step closer to pro. I can taste it!!!!

Last set of leg press at 900 lbs for 10 reps...

Legs locked up at the end...

weight came down crashing on me.

WOW!

Remember competition is not until Nov. 7th this year.

If youre coming to the competition this year I advise you to come to the night show! you can come to both if youd like actually. if its like last time the pre-judging show was $15 and the night show (where the party starts) is $25. Ill post another one up telling you guys where and when to get your tickets. Im gonna push hard this year because I want to take another one home and place for finals again so PLEASE!!!!!!! support me!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha.
im going for pro now so you have to come and support, peesh! I talked to Dori this morning. because i placed first in the last competition Im already qualified to go for my pro card which means i have to place 1st or 2nd in the upcoming competitions. after college and this competition Im going to California for another NPC battle and maybe compete in the OCB like Jessa is doing!! Oh that sounds so cool!!! ok ok ok calm down heart rate has gone up again blood pressure lowering back to its norm. phew~
who would have guessed my future would probably lie in this sport? this sport is nothing but beauty and art. not meat heads and jerkoffs although it is a competition so you might expect that hahaha. man im stoked! this week im upping all of my training and build build build more more more. im weighing in at 206 and still eating everything in my site. got caliper tested the other day and so far I have some points to work on but thats what bodybuilding is all about. whoever thinks its about 6 pack abs, ego central, pretty boy or princess looking are total fucking morons. no do not disgrace my sport thinking bodybuilding is that. its all about the self improvements THATS ALL! bodybuilding is about you and no one else whether youre looking for a better personality, better mentality, stronger soul, or just being strong in general. Never look at us like were here to make googly eyes with someone. I told many people FUCK YOU in the gym this year because they put me and my team down so FUCK YOU if you think that. I take this shit with a passion just like my other fellow bodybuilders. so in a year or two if i start to look like a freak you still better accept me dammit hahaha!

Super freakin pumped for this years competition!

Possible song routines:

Six by All that remains (Fast song)

Theres gotta be somebody by Nickelback (Slow song)

So Hott by Kid Rock (slow song)

Or youre more than welcome to give me suggestions and Ill listen to them. Theme Im looking for is love haha! Im all about the art so help me look for a slow moving song that I can move to.

MASSACHUSETTS TRIP! Sweet!
Purchased my tickets yesterday. Hanging with Jessa catching a Red Sox game, checking out historical landings, having a hell of a time with her and just relaxing AWAY from the west coast. Oh I need a vacation especially before I start cutting up in July. Phew~

Massachusetts here i come!

So Jessa and I were talking about the Arnolds sports festival which is a huge event for expos, competitions and getting noticed! Planning a trip probably to Ohio later this year or maybe next year. Im psyched!

That is all...

Did back today and Dori caught me on time.
She made me deadlift more and more and more and I screamed so loud the entire freakin gym came to where I was at lol
Apparently I had a show goin on hahaha!
Made the ground shake too heh heh heh!!

I found her.
She competes in the OCB,
I compete in the NPC.
Shes beautiful.
Shes making me smile like Ive never smiled before.
We talk on the phone,
We talk via text,
We talk myspace and facebook.
And it makes me smile.
I know there were others but she has that personality I feel absolutely comfortable with.
We click, its weird!
Shes a bodybuilder, Im a bodybuilder.
She competes,
I compete.
She has that drive and that strength that I want to be around RIGHT NOW!
I told her things about me I never told anyone before and she still accepted me.
What more could I ask for?
Shes beautiful,
with more tats on her than anyone else i know. ( Thats a turn on ;) )
The last post had pics of her,
I took it off because I didnt know if shed want to be viewed by others that way.
So if you wanna take a peak get at me dog. Other than that stay away.
Its the Iron Asylum way ;) lmao
