Transitions–Steve rip
I left one fitness club to go to another, hopefully this will work out better. I’m also working on my own business and a project with some other businesses. I still workout too much and don’t eat enough. I was really bummed when I wrote out my stats today. I didn’t get out the tape measure, but I know my clothes are loose. Time for brown rice bread pb and j. I can make like four of those little sandwiches have a good smoothie for breakfast and chicken, yams, and veggies for dinner and get a lot of good food. Maybe put on some mass. I need to get more protein in too.
I’m going through a lot of changes now. My life is literally falling apart around me. The last straw seemed to be when a close friend whose family I have also been close with for ten years, died at the age of 30. His car exploded when he drove into a lamp post across the median on a freeway. He and his friend in the car with him died instantly. And of course we have to wait for dental records and all of that to identify him, and no one is allowed to see him. He’s been on ice for a couple of weeks now.
I don’t mean to belittle my friends death. I am devastated, but life goes on. I just have so much inspiration to get up and fulfill my dreams. That’s what Steven did. He lived a full life. He really did a lot and helped out so many people. Alcohol was involved in the accident, but everyone has their problems. He’s a good man, and I miss him. His myspace is up, and I almost forget he’s dead when I check it. He will just be frozen in time.
I’m thinking I will probably volunteer to go talk to some high school kids about drunk driving, because unfortunately he did it often. He was a pro. This was his first drunk accident and his last. And so many people tried to save him. I wish I did. I don’t drink. I tell all my friends now, I like to go out I can be dd. It just doesn’t seem real. I guess I really need to do something to honour his memory and help other people through his example.

Wow, I am sorry for your loss! I am a 2-time DUI’er and went sober for almost 5 years. It took me all of that to learn not to drink and drive, I am sorry your friend will not get all those extra chances like I did. Your desire to honor him and to speak about it are quite noble! At least there will be some positive to come from such a tragedy. Good luck!
