A dying breed
I’m a go getter, have been since I was a little kid. I always tried to push other kids to do things with me. To be adventurous and active. I was a different kind of leader back in the day. One that lead by example but was never afraid to embarrass myself. Growing up and moving around got to me and made me quite for a while but as soon as I got my feet planted in this beautiful state of Maine I realized something. These athletes in general were lazy F**kers. So I did what I did best shot right past them. I’ve always have set goals and no matter how big or small have gone through great lengths to accomplish them or got too seriously injured in the process. But I still didn’t just give up, I would reevaluate them and see were my next logical step was. Now my next step and probably my calling all along is bodybuilding. I’ve been given all the natural gifts I need to compete and the fire that burns inside me is forever burning. I feel though looking around that I’m a dying breed, it’s not that life gets in the way, it’s that you let it get in the way. You always have a choice and input on what your future is going to be like. I’ve always been told that I can’t accomplish my goals for whatever reason. Right now what is driving me is the fact that none of my previous gym friends think I can get my pro card in my first show, but who the f**k are they. I got started because my friend said he was going to compete in the same show and I got excited now I tell him he’s a little bitch for saying that he wants to wait. Wait for what I ask, you got to get experience by competing not watching other have more balls than yourself. I find myself being 20 years of age and seeing the world through the eyes of a wise man with centuries of experience under his belt, yet my eyes are still fresh and seeking more and more knowledge. I love life so much and want to accomplish a great amount, so when I die I’m not just another body lying beneath the earth.

I assumed you were a much older person while reading you entry until I came to the sentence where you stated your age. You are very intelligent and articulate. Continue to pass by those people who tell you that you can not succeed. Can’t should not be in your vocabulary at all. I do thank you for your reply to my blog. I know that sodium is in our food naturally, I just don’t want to add the extra that is really not necessary. Now if you can give me tips on overcoming my plateau I would greatly appreciate that. Thank you and have a wonderful eveing.
