LIFE WITHOUT CAUSE IS A LIFE WITHOUT EFFECT -Barbarella

why are we here???
what are we meant to do with our lives???
what would make us happy???
wish it was an easy answer but its not. i do believe tho that if you r continually unhappy with the direction ur life is heading u may get lost unless u try another path. but who am i to say because ive took the safe route all my life knowing ive missed chances and opportunities ive come across. being too scared to speak up for what i wanted or believed in because i was afraid of failing, being humiliated, or ruffling a few feathers. so i continue to try to better myself and move forward by reading, learning, and acting so i will not be lost forever. i am a student. i pray things will change shortly.

i guess at the moment im like the lion on the wizard of oz

Lord give me some courage and a compass...

resolutioners...

let me frame the context of this rant before i continue: i help manage a large fitness facility that produces a gross (literally and figuratively) amount of money each month. i hate the gym....during the month of january (outside of the fact that sales are literally quadrupled).

if you have invested even the slightest bit of time working in or around a gym during the month of january, i admire you. for it is, during this wintry set of weeks, that the gym doors burst at the seams. 73.289% (totally legit percentage - i looked it up) of the obese population rushes to start their new year on the right foot. very few of these resolutioners have stepped those feet into any sort of gym before this day. these ignorant, babbling folk, however, never hesitate to inform everyone that they needn't any nutritional or exercise guidance. no - they are avid watchers of the biggest loser. and, thus, see the need to tell me how i should be training and furthermore, eating. this, at a minimum, infuriates me.

add to this...intrastaff tension, more complaints than one can comprehend, exponential increases in gym traffic and its resulting filth and what is the result? a formula for chaos and drama. ahhh, january how i loathe the.

Hello Number 2

g pretty much summed up what goes on inside this football that i call a head everyday and obviously his own.(kudos on d post) tired of the same ole same ole rountine and the "man" bringing me down and having the desire to branch out explore new horizons doinig something we love and have a tremendous passion for, but that is another post..

this post is about ME cause im a selfish bastard TEHE ;) just to give a lil background to all the people(g and i) reading this blog. im 24 going on 14. i live in a small town in sw va and work at a job that will never go newhere, but i do have GREAT fam, friends, wonderful girlfriend and dog(DOBBS). they r really what keeps me around here. played sports in high school and was nationally ranked as a male cheerleader...just kidding would of been a good job though. played bastetball, football, n did some fields events, never a stand out n any of them. got into weight lifting in h.s. and continued in college with the typical bodybuilding and seeing how big i could get my arms and still being able to wipe my tailfeather. then on a lonesome nite i watched the movie 300 and said "shit them guys r jacked" and via internet i found mark twight and later crossfit and fell in love with the high intensity aspect of it and it basically changed my life. currently have a dream of opening our own strength n conditioning facility with the help of the big man.

well thats my short story of my life and hang around to find out how g and i met
TO BE CONTINUED....

the first of some firsts....

greetings -

this, being my very first blog post, may be random. that being said, currently i have very little to spew about. it is quite unfortunate. it should be noted that i rarely pay attention to capitalization and, use entirely too many commas. bear with me, please.

my cohort and i have, however, been tossing around the idea of forging out into the business world. i guess, each of us is getting a bit fed up with the hum-drumishness of performing laymen's work for the remainder of our lives. is life really more fulfilling when you work for yourselves? will the grass be greener on the other side? i can continue to spit rhetorical questions - but, i think that would for one, be redundant and two, sound entirely absurd. my apologies. i guess the real idea here is to outline our trials and tribulations in regards to our quest for our own version of personal and physical utopia. it will, most certainly, include many more things. what things? time shall tell. happy reading.
