Healing with death.

April 7, 2008

2 years having that someone you knew was special become your life. Just like that she’s gone.

 I been decieved big time. I know your my friend and we may not talk everyday and I’m telling you this because I want you to understand what im going through.

 TO be honest I dont know what to call it. Other then death.

My life exploded in front of my eyes. My neck burns just thinking about it. I dont know what to do then to just keep going to school and going to the gym being with good company. I go to church and it does help. Those other 6 days out of the week hurt tho. I cant bring myself to cry. I cant scream about it, and theres nothing I can change but to just let go and let God.

 

I just dont know how…

November 9, 2007

I’ve started a petition online to begin a college football program for a local community college. I need your help to make the program live. Read the petition if you would honor me, and sign it if you believe as I do. Help me spread the word, a blog post, or comments, emails will go such a long way and I do really appreciate it.

 From my heart, thank you so much.

More Sex Facts`

November 2, 2007

1. Scientific tests find that when women make love, they produce
double amounts of the hormone estrogen, which make hair shiny
and skin smooth.

2. Gentle, relaxed lovemaking reduces your chances of suffering
dermatitis, skin rashes and blemishes. The sweat produced
cleanses the pores and makes your skin glow.

3. Lovemaking can burn up those calories you piled on during that
romantic dinner.

4. Sex is one of the safest sports you can take up. It stretches
and tones up just about every muscles in the body. It’s more
enjoyable than swimming 20 laps and you don’t need special
sneakers!

5. Sex is an instant cure for mild depression. It releases the
body endorphin into the bloodstream, producing a sense of
euphoria and leaving you with a feeling of well-being.

6. The more sex you have, the more you will be offered. The
sexually active body gives off greater quantities of chemicals
called pheromones. These subtle sex perfumes drive the
opposite sex crazy!

7. Sex is the safest tranquillizer in the world. It is 10 times
more effective than Valium. (No way)

8. Kissing each day will keep the dentist away. Kissing
encourages saliva to wash food from the teeth and lowers
the level of the acid that causes decay, preventing plaque
build-up.

9. Sex actually relieves headaches. A lovemaking session
can release the tension that restrict blood vessels in the brain.

10. A lot of lovemaking can unblock a stuffy nose. Sex is
a natural antihistamine. It can help combat asthma and
hay fever.

One in a Billion…

November 1, 2007

This is my story after highschool up to present day. I truely believe that theres 10x the potential in everyone that they ever expeiernce for them selves…what one man can do, another can do`

 

My names is Phil Cappadora, you can call me PJ, Philly, or scooter haha` Whatever makes ya smile. My story is one in a billion, no contest. Sure enough, a billion people can relate to this story im sure, however every story is different. This is my story after high school.

The day after I graduated high school the first thing my mom said to me was "Do you miss it already"? Sure enough with a grin i said "NOPE". I couldnt wait to go to college and get a degree in plumbing and heating. Those guys made bucks. Over the Summer I worked as an ordinary plumber, and since mom and dad didnt have much money at the time I was motivated to make the money myself.

      I held that job for 6 months and got the boot for some BS. But that didnt stop me i managed to save thousands. The following Summer I became an Iron Worker for a NYC Union. Things were looking great and I had every hope resting on the up come football season`

       I trained hard and wroked out in my yard` I didnt have much weights but i used everything we had…I Draged tires to build my speed, I drilled to rocks to work on my agility and I toughened my uper body with a heavy bag` My results were paying off tramendeously when I out sprinted my sisters BF "Huntly" (He ended up being the defencive lineman of the year). Things were looking awsome  & to keep my Endurance i played in my friends rec basket ball league during the summer too.  I worked full time…trained full time, and ate FULL time:)`

     Augest 7th was just around the corner, but i knew I was ready for the challenge. The date was Augest 1st, 2006. I had a great day at work and I showered and got ready for the Champion ship game that night. I led the team in steals that year. I wasnt much for points but defenceively I did damn good.

 

       Mites left in the first half I was going for a rebound that headed for the sidelines. I was all over it…I went up, and the next thing i remeber is that im DOWN!!! I has no idea what happened but i managed to roll off the court.  My sholder was in so much pain and when i tried to stand I could barley get up….My anckle had a clean crack that tore a tendon and the AC in my sholder was seperated. There wasnt any cell service and i knew i was in trouble…I played it cool that i was ok and just sat on the bench as i regaind my focuss…I knew i had to get to a Hospital. My adrenalin was pulseing and I was sooo hot. I had to get out of there…I wished the team good luck but i had to leave` The Hospital wasn’t far so I drove myself there. I told the nurses what happened and they got me on a wheel chair. The longer i sat down the colder i became…About 45 minites later, the pain hit me HARD!

      The hospital called my mother and I text my Girlfriend telling her where i was. She took it just as hard as i did. I have to take a second to say that my GF (Summer) never left my side she was beside me even to this day. Thanks Princess, Ti Amo.

      My injuries were caused by the central air unit hanging on the ceiling. It leaked a puddle the size of my hand on the court…I lost my job, my NFL draft chances, and to be the first in my family to play college ball all in one night.

      I wasnt insured since i couldnt go to school and i didnt have enough hours with the union. I was Fu#*ed! Every single dolar i earned went right into PT, Xrays, and bills. You name it I payed for it… I was sick to my stomach. I was in a cast and sling for a month! And when I regainded my strength, still in alot of pain,  i worked in NYC as Iron worker to get some $ and hours for insurance. I knew i wasnt dont with PT but i was straved to get it! I knew i needed to work 450 hours and it would activae July 1st. So i assumed you needed to work the 6 months… So from the beging of december I worked all winter. 20 degree weather the whole season` You can not imagine what it was like…I didnt miss a day of work, and it just went so fast i ignored as uch of it as i could. Sure enough i made it to the spring and was glad it was geting warm.

       Just my luck I get hurt again…check this. While working on a column, a guy walking on a scafold above me slips and drops a pile of steel! Knocked out my partener and for a second i thought broke my hand. Rest asure my hand developed into iron from working with it in the snow. Me and my partener ended up ok. For now.

      On May 22nd I got my knee pinned between a ‘mat’ and the side of the pit we were working in….I thought i was fine, but the next moring I felt paralyzed. I mean i could seriously not move a muscle…My knee was literally on fire. I managed to get myself moveing and i needed to get my coverage. A million things must have been going throuhg my head. I got dressed for work but i knew I needed help. I told my forman that i couldnt come in the rest of the week. So I took some time off to heal and waited till i had coverage to get a doctor. I didnt know about compensation so right now I have an atturney working on that situation while another attourney is takeing care of that AC unit accident.

       To this day im still in pain. You have know idea how much I Love the game of football. I love everything about it. It was love that motivated me to go for my dream` I am not a quiter I go for for everything to the best of my capablity.

     I have dead arm sydrome and my anckle needs serious attention. Its difficult to walk up or down stairs because of my knee…I know pain will heal but at the same time…my heart is breaking for the amount of time i have lost…

     Its hard…its so hard. I can barley sleep anymore and my weight is alway up and down. I am home all day long and its depressing, I dont know why people want to retire its awful being home doing nothing…I feel sick now writeing about it…yet its good to get it out of my system…If you read this far thank you so much`

    I have till January 1st untill im no longer covered in the unioun. So if i need surgeries they need to be done soon. I’ll have no choice but to go to a comunity college and go full time…I am excited to get back into it, idk how i’ll do but im will to try and to my best. There’s so much more I can tell you and thank you so much for reading my story. But theres no ending to this story…Everyday is a new day and a new begining, Life is the greatest thing anyone can have. I forget that sometimes…i think we all do. If there was ever a wish I could have granted it is that for everyone to have faith.

      Never doubt your self or your beliefs. Faith is what will give you hope, and hope is as imparative to air and water….

       You are where you are today for a reason. Life is a Journey…

 

                      
                  Live every minite of it`

 

                      
                                                   With Love…..

Fitness Tips from Body smith`

October 11, 2007
Losing weight is an arithmetic problem. Subtract 500 calories a day from your diet and add more exercise and you should lose a pound a week.

Walk up stairs for five minutes and burn 35 calories.

Stand and you’ll lose 40 more calories per hour, than you would just sitting there.

Strap on a pedometer and subtract 85 calories for every mile you register.

To achieve a higher muscle-to-fat ratio, you need to exercise with weights, exertubes or your own body weight (i.e. pushups).

Remember it’s not always how fast you do it but how far you go that counts. Running 6 m.p.h. for 3 miles burns about 348 calories; which is just 12 calories more than walking 4 m.p.h. for 4 miles.

When the last 2 reps are not challenging you, it’s time to use a heavier weight.

It is important to rest between workouts. Your muscles need time to repair and rebuild.

Use ice immediately after an injury to reduce pain, prevent swelling and reduce muscle spasms. After 4 or 5 days, switch to heat in order to increase the blood flow to the injured area and relax tight muscles.

Gaining more than 20 pounds after the age of 18 increases a woman’s risk of diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, breast cancer and stroke according to many research studies.

Gaining 10-20 pounds increases your risk of hypertension. Losing the same amount lowers your chances according to the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Review your health insurance for “caps”. Make sure that there is a cap on your out-of-pocket expenses but that there is no cap on lifetime benefits.

If you have trouble falling asleep, take a hot bath. Your body temperature drops quickly after you get out of the tub. Since your body temp also lowers right before sleep, researchers think that this might help you get your zzz’s faster.

To relieve stress, put your hand on your abdomen and breathe in through your nose for 5 seconds as your hand pushes your abdomen in. Hold it. Repeat. Research says that if you simply increase your physical activity or exercise at a moderate pace, you will see big improvements in fitness and health. However, a Norwegian study says that women who work out four hours a week cut their risk of breast cancer by a third. Bottom line? Some exercise is good. More is better. Do what you can.

SEX FACTS`

October 1, 2007

About the fellas
———————
1) 94% of men lie about their penis size.
According to condom manufacturers, only 6% of
men use extra large condoms.
2) The average man is 5 inches long when erect
(no matter what you have heard ladies, that’s the
truth).
3) 80% of American men are circumsized. Even
though Pediatrics say it is not necessary.
4) No matter what all the ads say, nothing can
make your penis grow but time (most men reach
the end of their growth by the early 20’s)
5) There is no correlation between penis size and
shoe size, hand size, or nose size. Sorry Ladies i guess you’ll have to find out the most assureing way;)
6) Blue balls does exist! It’s technically
called "prostatic congestion." Men can get used to it in time however it will be even more difficult for them to get an erection or even become aroused….
7) Only 16% of men shave their privates. (lets bring those numbers up guys, com’on)

Some stuff on the ladies
——————————
1) Only 9% of women around the globe consider
themselves "attractive" (20% of British women
do).
43% of women use the term "natural", 24% say
they have "average" looks, 8% prefer the
term "feminine", 7% say they are "good looking",
and 7% say they are "cute", and finally only 2% of
women say they are "sexy".
2) An estimated 85% of women wear the wrong
size bra.
3) 60% of women have had breast implants.
4) 75% of women dont like oral sex
5) 95% of women shave their privates.

Both
——————————–
1) Masturbation is healthy for both men and
women.
2) 70% of highschoolers have had sex before
they
have graduated. 27% loose their virginity senior
prom night. Only 3% wait until marriage.
3) 95% of men would have sex with a girl after 1
month of dating. Only 10% of women feel this way.

5 Reasons Why Sex is Good
1) It is a good workout. Sex burns about 150
calories every half an hour of it. It will lower your
cholesterol and improve breathing circulation.
2) You won’t get sick. According to research if
you have sex 1-2 times a week you are less likely to
get sick.
3) You’ll feel happier. You will feel a greater sense
of well-being. Women who have more sex were
clinically proven to be less depressed than women
who dont have sex.
4) Makes you look better- [ problem is ugly people
don`t get any ]. Sex releases hormones in your which make your skin and hair softer and
shinier and tone your physic.
5) (The best reason) You will live longer. Studies
prove that sex makes you live longer. Men who
had sex 1-2 times a week had half the death rate
as those who did not indulge themselves at least
once a month. It also makes you look younger. If
you have sex 3 times a week you may look up to
10 years younger than you really are.

Did You Know
—————————————-
1) Having sex 3 times a week for 1 year adds up
to
running 75 miles!!!!

"Personaly I’d prefer (since I am looking to improve for a sport;) to get the requiring amount of sex to equal 150+ miles!!!!"

Sex may also improve your eye sight as well as reduce stress!

"Fact" Size does not matter….However…..Mass does!!! Sorry guys….long and thin goes deeper in but big and fat is where its at! 

 

Sooo if your looking to tone and dont really like cardio all that much, have sex but please act responcible and protect yourself or your privates will fall off!!! Share this info with your friends and family….here’s to looking younger and liveing healthy!

 

Ciao for now `

 

P.S. I should have you all know that i am in a relationship and im very happy. Just thought i should mention that so I dont lead any of you on…Sorry guys I’m not gayish either hehehe.
