My Beer Is Always Half Full
Hmmm… this hasn’t been a good day. For those that know why I was gone today, I’d have to say for the first time ever, I didn’t leave confident in myself. Big surprise. Seems to be a common feeling lately. That on top of work “stress”, my computer parts/order dilemma, and emails telling me I’m wrong, there wasn’t really a reason for me to wake up today. Maybe I’m over sensitive these days, but emails reminding how I should see things I find completely condescending and rude. Talk to my like an adult or don’t talk to me at all, it is a pretty simple concept. I was also reminded of the fact that your body weight can not change but your body can. Fat should weigh as much as muscle for the simple fact that you actually know what’s going on with your body. I know if I hit a certain number on the scale I’m going to freak out, but obviously that doesn’t reflect what a tape measure could tell me. I think it would just laugh and say stop kidding yourself.
Update on the concert scene. Slipknot is lighting up the MySpace bulletins. Pre-Sale starts April 4th (I think… maybe the 3rd). Nothing on TicketMaster yet though. I was considering joining the fan club to get into the pre-sale… but luckily with my current life/money situation, I can’t afford that. 311 announced the July 2nd show is now a festival. The River is putting on Red, White and Bloom again. 311, Snoop, POD, Kottonmouth Kings and Five Finger Death Punch. Tickets are $30 and on sale this weekend. Anyone planning to go to these shows, let me know before you get tickets… saving myself from paying the extra service charge from TicketMaster would actually be nice.
As my night draws to a close… I’d like to take a special moment to thank all the people in my life that seem to forget I’m human too. I have feelings and dreams. I want to accomplish things and feel loved and needed. I want to be treated with respect. I want to not be disregarded because you feel I’m not living up to the expectations you had for me. I’m only me. Apparently, changing would make me a much better person in most people’s eyes, but I’ve tried and I’m stuck with being the person I am. I have faults and short comings… so do you. If you can’t accept me for who I am, then don’t waste our time trying to prove to me you think I’m a bad person. I rather spend my time alone than pretending to be who you want me to be.
Muscle is more dense then fat so if you do a lot of weights you can actually gain weight while loosing body fat if that is your regiment then some other method of determining “weight loss” is probably best to not get discouraged. I would recommend lots and lots of cardio if you are going to worry about the number on the scale, probably at least 5 times a week if it were me. Just a suggestion if you already have a plan and it is working then work it. If you want I can make a call to my buddy Richard Simmons, he loves sweating to the oldies and with your grey haired neighbor he would probably get all turned on. Just a thought.
