Straight from the Oval Office

well, my baby brother and i drove from miami to alabama last night to see my dad.  My mom told us that he had taken a turn for the worst and that we needed to see him while we could…….DAMN, talk about gettin hit with a ton of bricks! i haven’t seen my pops since christmas. i mean he was bouncing off of walls then, but at least he was at home with us.  the man i am watching sleep on the hospital bed doesn’t even look like the superman that i’ve always called daddy. the doctors are saying that the radiation treatment that he had for the cancer has done so much damage to his colon and bladder that we’re at the end of the line. i don’t really know what i feel, or how i should feel. i do know that he is still my hero. Even superman had his cryptonite huh?

it’s going to be a real challenge for me to put the weight on in order to meet my goal by the end of march.  i do think that i’m going to meet my bf % goal though. that’s going really good. been increasing my cardio and eating cleaner.  definitely getting more defined.  progress pics are due to be posted on monday.  that will be half way to my 10 week challange.  not a realy challenge, just w/ myself (how much more real can it get?) i will keep you all posted. . . . .the baby is doing GREAT!!

they’ve removed my newborn son’s picture from my profile!!! dang. . .but as I said earlier, I’ll take that blame any day!  Besides, this site is strictly for bodybuidling right??? Not for people to share the biggest & greatest accomplishments with others…….b/c everyone knows that a picture of fake breasts and ass is much more acceptable than the wonders of new life. . . . .. don’t pay me no mind, i’m just bitchin cause I think he’s the cutest baby ever!!!! (but what kind of dad would i be if i didn’t feel that way?))

And a cute one at that.  Neal A Oates, III was born on Valentine’s day at 4:27 pm.  An 8 lb 4 oz gem!!!! I know that I’ve already posted this before, but get used to it!!!

I guess, on a fitness tip. . .. i haven’t worked out in almost a week with my wife being in the hospital and all.  But I know that things are going to be a lil hectic for a while. . .ya’ll pray for me!!! until next time!!!

but why should I have a picture of me up when my son was born on valentine’s day??? don’t remove the photo yet Bodyspade Gods. . .Just give a proud Papa a lil chance to boast!!! Neal A. Oates, III is HEALTHY at 8 lbs 4 oz and 20" long. . .thanks for all of you prayers!!!

Really been pushing myself like crazy, b/c i’m interested to see just how much my body can change in a 10 week period.  I’m tired of looking "good" or being in "shape."  My only goal is to look like a freaking animal.  With everyone else pushing to "get in shape" now, mediocrity is sooooooo over-rated.  I really want to be the guy that people whisper about when they see me.  You know what I mean. Like. . . ."Damn, dude must be on roids," or "that b**ch must have just gotten out of county lock-up." It may sound silly to alot of you, but I think that would do it for me. . .yeah, i could deal with that.  I’m posting some progress pics about halfway through this (hopeful) transformation.  Then on March 31st, the chains come off the BEAST!!!!!!
