Hello to one and all
There are times when I write because I have something that I want to get off my chest and writing it down is better than complaining to my friends. Other times, I want to share an amusing story with the community. Then there are times like today when I have absolutely nothing to say, but still feel compelled to write. So rather than some mindless blather, I thought I’d put my typing digits to useful work and commend the bodybuilders in this community who are living the bodybuilding lifestyle in all its glory.
Top of the list is Fern - or as she is better known, Ms. Fitness. Her blogs are a riot, and listening to her rant and rave about that which she is passionate about is usually the highlight of my day. From her, I have learned the art of the acerbic putdown. Fern - if you read this, that is a compliment of the highest order.
Then there is Curt James. To those of you who do not know or read him, Curt is one of the most erudite individuals it has ever been my pleasure to meet. He has a very unique way of looking at the world, and I never fail to be amused and/or dazzled by his observations.
Next comes Scott - the Body Auditor. Scott is the second funniest man I know. (I would say that he is first, but I don’t want to make claims that I can’t back up with emperical evidence.) His last blog about building monster triceps is a hoot. Read it if you want to brighten your day.
Chicken Tuna continues to inspire by posting pictures that make the rest of us realize how far we must travel before achieving the ideal. She is the epitome of lean. In fact, I had a T-shirt made with the slogan "What would Chicken Tuna eat?" emblazoned across the front. I love the looks I get when I wear the shirt around town.
Maddi is another favorite. If her blogs are indicative of her personality, she is funny, forthright, brutally honest, and the most tender-hearted person on the face of the planet. It is my sincere wish that she continues to find her spiritual way in the world.
Ninja Bill inspires me by his commitment and dedication to the bodybuilding lifestyle. Here is another person who will go out of his way to help any other member of the community. I have never known him to say no to anyone who has ever asked him for help. And if that is not proof enough that he is a decent Joe, KatNap numbers him among her circle of acquaintances. What more could any man ask for?
These folks are a small representative sampling of the great members in this community. It is gratifying to me that bodybuilders (and the lifestyle it represents) has managed to bring together so many people of such diverse backgrounds in an atmosphere that is conducive to camaraderie and friendship. I am proud to be a member of this community and hope that you all feel the same.
