fatboystick’s BodyBlog

I would like to take a little time out and express my sincere thoughts about what this day really means. For those of you who may not know, heres a recap. I would like to personally (and as i write this, i have the chills…no joke) thank each and everyone of our brothers and sisters in the armed forces for each and EVERY minute they stand proud! Thank you for what you do to secure, uphold and protect our great country. Now, in the past and into the future. There is no greater sacrifice than the one you all embrace. For those of you who are against war…can you please acknowledge that these men and woman still do it for you as well. Many have given their lives and many more will follow…for this i am forever greatful. Please, take a moment to reflect on this and go on with your day knowing that it was made possible by our Armed Forces!!!

Ok, another meaningless blog from me…FATBOYSTICK! This one has to do with stereotyping. I have a real problem with this. I have been through a lot growing up and have been around and lived in a lot of diverse demographics. I’ve been around a lot of different people in my lifetime. This being said…i give everyone the respect i would like to have. I start everyone out on what i call a "piece of string". You let that string burn to nothing and you’ve made a BIG mistake. Sure, i shave my head, have a goatee and a few tattoos. Im a little bigger than the average guy (in the physique department)…so, yes, i can be intimidating at times. But you know what….i am a very nice guy with very good morals. I know right from wrong and treat my friends like family. I would gice you the shirt off my back. More peole would know this too if not for stereotyping. Thats fine w/ me however. Not my loss. Some other examples of this are as follows. As you can tell by my profile… i like to workout. i workout 5 days a week and am completely dedicated to it. I ENJOY it and the benefits that come with it. That being said….I DO IT FOR MYSELF and no one else. Sure, if people think i look good…bonus; if kids like me to show them my biceps…bonus; if my kids think i can kick the Incredible Hulks ass….i will let them think that…lol. Point is….thats all nice and dandy…but if none of that happened…you know what..im still gonna wake up at 4:45am and get my ass to the gym. I dont care if most people think i do it because i strive for thier attention or i do it for the ladies or i do it to show off……F@#K ‘em! I DO IT FOR ME!!! Think what you want…but you are missing out on the real me. Heres another example. I recently took on another job. I am doing security for a local hang out here. Its a great place with a lot of cool people and staff. A buddy and i take our Harleys up there weekly. I did this type of thing back when i was in college. I enjoy it. I enjoy walking around, meeting people and joking around, etc. Its a good fit for my personality. Well, some peole see it a bit differently. Some might say, once again, i do it for the ladies….NOT! I got enough problems in my life right now (nothing against you ladies…lol). Some might say its because im vain and egotistcal. Whatever! I do it because i enjoy it, and if im gonna work another job…i want to at least enjoy my time doing it. Sure, im gonna have the occasional problem with disorderlies…but really…who the hell doesnt…hehe! Point once again is…..dont stereotype me. It is not fair to me and really…not fair to yourself. You will miss out at meeting a GENUINELY nice guy. I could go on and on but i think ive proven my point…if not…chime in….criticize my point of view, praise me, whatever…….tell me your opinions. If you want more examples…i got examples o’plenty. Until next time……take care and live for today…no one knows what tomorrow brings!!!

Ok, sorry for the long time between blogs but i have been very busy. Mostly over in the Forum section. I have been selected by BEAST SPORTS NUTRITION to log a poduct called "2Shredded". Its a great thermo. For those interested, go check it out…..NOW!.lol. The log location is in my signature. Be sure to leave any comments or questions and i will definitelty reply to each and every one of them. You can also see my progress thru just ONE month of using it. My most recent progress pics are there as well as before pics (in beginning of log). Ive got about a month to go and i am very excited about the final outcome. I’ve been putting a lot of time into this and that includes better focus in the gym, eating and all other aspects  such as cardio. So, check it out people and let me know what you think about my log.
