Straight from the Oval Office

hurt my back again. but this time it’s SERIOUS!! it’s so bad that i can’t even move an inch without feeling the worst pain in my life ( & i’ve had broken bones).  wat’s even more is that i’ve still had to go to work b/c we are selling more houses now than ever. i definitely know that i won’t be back in the gym for a while now b/c i’ve got to give this back lots of time to heal. isn’t this how it always works out? just as you are seeing progress, something happens to TRY to derail you? not this time, not me.  oh yeah, the trip to bama was the best!!!! i got to see my mom and nephews.  and the entire family went to a football game and out to eat dinner. Life is GOOD!

sometimes if people really ever take the time to read my blogs?  regardless of the answer, it’s cool b/c i’m usually writing for myself. so with that being said, let me talk to self for a moment………………

you’re really doing a great job getting up at 4:30 every morning in order to get a good workout in.  I must admit that i admire you for having the dedication and determination to push through all of the obstacles and excuses.  besides, you could always say that you had a very long day at work, or you’re tired from having the baby with you ALL DAY, or blah blah blah….but not you!!! you have a goal in mind and you see the finish line.  you have become painfully familiar with what it takes to travel the lonely road to greatness.  your sacrifices inspire me to be a better me.  But self, most of all, it is your relentless, ignorant pursuit of  perfection that baffles me the most.  I love you self, but i must tell you that you can never be perfect.  maybe it’s in your best interest to put all of this working out foolishness aside and enjoy life instead…..c’mon, you could be drinking, eating junk food, and partying all night long.  doesn’t that sound like the life you want.  Self……haven’t you noticed. that has become the American way.  there’s no need for you to punish the both of us by exercising that now extinct principal you like to call DISCIPLINE! take comfort in knowing that given the circumstances………………you NEVER stood a chance!!!!

Or you could

PROVE ME WRONG!!!!!!

til next time………

so pops, you  left this place earlier tonight. everyone knows the type of relationship that we had and the bond that we shared, so they were worried about what my reaction would be to the entire situation. i don’t know how i’m supposed to feel, but i sure am glad that you’re not still here suffering and having to deal with this hell on earth. I haven’t cried yet, that’s kinda odd. i think i want to and i need to, but i can’t yet. i don’t want to seem selfish and say that i wish you were here. i’m just thankful that we were able to spend the time together that we did. my ONLY regret is not being able to let you meet your grandson, NAO, III. Don’t worry though, he’s going to know that you were and still are my hero. I’m sure that things are going to start hitting me pretty hard on the 10 hr drive home tomorrow, but don’t worry, you kow i’ll be alright. without a doubt, you are the reason that i am the man that i am, and you are the man that i aspire to be. when you see my tears, they won’t be tears of sadness, but of pride and happiness. you know exactly how i feel about you. i know exactly how you feel about me.  i speak in the present tense b/c i know that you are with me more now than ever. you have always been my strength and i will look for you to continue to be.  i have always been your voice and that won’t change either!! so here’s a lil advice to you Pop. . . ."If you can’t be good, at least be careful!!!!"

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!!!

I don’t personally know kendafriend, but just so that you all know, there’s a jerk on here (youngblaze_07) who has decided it’s easier to steal someone else’s physique (kenda’s) and pass it off as their own instead of busting his ass in the gym.  what’s even worse is that he’s leaving disrepectful messages on lots of ladies’ comments.  If you see this cat, please report him!!!!

But, i think we must all admit that kendafriend’s physique is tight as hell!!! keep it up bruh!!!

the freedoms that we have or those who allow us to enjoy those freedoms. Regardless of your feelings about what the political leaders are doing concerning the war overseas, we should always show love, respect, and the utmost grattitude to those who have served in the armed forces in the past and those who defend our freedom today. Please understand what today symbolizes. . .it’s not just a day for us to sit home from work and do nothing.  Give honor to those who deserve it!!!! We THANK ALL OF YOU for the sacrifices that you make on a daily basis
