This Site May Have Saved my Life!
This Site May Have Saved my Life! Well actually a combination of this site and our awesome Circle of friends.
Looking back over 2007 it has truly been a roller coaster ride for me. At the end of May I was out of shape….well lets not sugar coat it….I was a fat disgusting slob on the verge of having some serious health issues if I didn’t change my ways. A revelation at my parents grave made me face the reality of my dim future and thankfully I set out to make a change.
In the quest for change I chanced across BB.com and BodySpace. I will never forget my first reaction…."A MySpace just for bodybuilders??? "What a stupid f**king idea!’ LOL!! What a dope I was!
Even though I thought it was stupid I thought it would be a good way to track my progress….I had no idea I would find the network of friends that has evolved into the Circle!
During my darkest times, through all of my injuries, set backs and disappointments I have managed to stay strong and focused thanks to BB.com, BodySpace…..that stupid f**king BodySpace….and our awesome circle!! Had I not had this support system there is no way I could have continued to pick myself up off the mat time and time again and pressed forward.
Thank you BB.com and BodySpace for creating such a wonderful place for out of shape slobs to come and get their lives back in order. And thank you to everyone on this site who has ever taken the time to comment me, read my blogs, and even leave me hateful Pm’s because you didn’t like something I said. You all helped to fuel the fire in me. And a special shout out to my special friends….the Circle!! Most of all NinjaBill, Pixi, Daretosoar, blsmith, mmeyer, sunnez, Nic, Courtney, Laurie, wallstcutie, flf…Donalds long lost twin brother, Body Auditor and the Mighty King Marmoset I could go on and on about the ways each of you have touched my life but time and space won’t allow it!! Besides…you know…I don’t have to say it.
An extra special shout out to my leggy blond friend from points East!! You came along unexpectedly at a time when I may have been at my lowest (after the accident) and gave me such a jolt of friendship and encouragement I had never experienced before! Thanks darling!!!
Ok enough mush!! I proclaim 2008 THE YEAR OF THE HARD CORE MUTHAS!!!

This site may have helped bring it out, but you were a HCM from the get go. What you have done both for yourself and for others here should make you very proud.

Alright enough of the sentimental crap! As much as I am feeding off the CWs it’s time to get back to work and work as hard as a true HCM only can!
On a serious note…you and the other circle members have also saved my life…literally… I may elaborate another time but… well, not going there right now
