Updates
Well it’s been a long time since I blogged, and I thought the reason was a good one, but now I realize that it was just another lame excuse.
The financial difficulties that come along when you are putting a parent through school, working a ****ty job, etc, etc, etc, often require to pawn laptops, desktops, guitars, etc, etc, etc.
It’s true, not having the internet lost me the ability to update my bodyspace. But it didn’t cost me the ability to continue working out! Just because my paycheck was going to bills instead of supplements, didn’t mean I couldn’t continue working out! I just masked all of these "challenges" as reasons why I couldn’t live my awesome life, and in reality, I was just making excuses.
I continually struggle with being an "all or nothing" sort of guy, and now, at 26 years old, realize that I’ve missed out on a lot of great opportunities in life because I figured i’d wait until things got "better." Pssh. To hell with that guy. I hate that guy. I want it now.
So, I originally joined because I wanted to improve for a sport. Last season, my soccer team, joined with a couple of other soccer teams to start a club. We were originally sponsored by a local brewery ( Hell yeah!) and things sort of steam-rolled and we’re sponsored by a lot of local businesses now. Pretty cool. I set a goal of becoming my teams captain, a goal which would require some hard work, but was also attainable. Well I earned the armband in tryouts, then sort of rested on my laurels physically. Well no more.
Nike’s doing their new soccer campaign, "My Pledge" and since I wish i was a Nike endorsed athlete, I’ll join the fun. "My pledge is to show up to every game this season, in better shape than I was the previous game!"
