Over-Thinking

Well Here it is!!! Happy Friday Everyone!!!

Today, I was struggling to figure out what to write about, so I asked for some help.... She told me she was thinking. I said "Don't hurt yourself." Then It came to me!

Can someone really hurt themselves from thinking. My answer is yes, and here it goes....

You stay up late thinking about something or someone.... Therefore you don't get much sleep. They say that not getting enough hours of sleep causes to function as slow as a brain that has been drinking. You get behind a wheel, or even try to walk while drinking, you can run into something. This will cause anywhere from a stubbed toe, to death.....

Therefore......

Thinking can cause death....

If you think about it, is it really that far fetched?

Anyway, Have a great weekend! I'm not sure what I am doing this weekend, but it will involve relaxing, and maybe some picture taking....

Pet Peeves

Well Hello All, We are creeping to yet another weekend, and I really can't wait until it gets here!!!

Today I was reminded first thing in the morning or a few of my pet peeves. Maybe, I'm just an ass, but these things really get on my nerves.... Ready, here we go:

1) There are 2 words or sayings in the world that I despise. The first one isn't as bad as the second one but if used in the right context (ie: an argument) its rather degrading. The first one is when some one says "Whatever".... If you really mean that then, you have completely given up and completely given in, on whatever you were trying to say. It makes you sound like a complete ass and idiot. Now, If you are saying it when joking around thats different, even I have used it joking. The second one, is a cause for me to never talk to you again. It is degrading and completely disrespectful. The phrase "Chill Out" should never be used in any context. If I'm worked up, then obviously there is a reason I am worked up. There have been times when I have wanted to punch some body in the mouth for even suggesting those words.

2) Somebody going through my stuff whether at home or at work. Today I got into work and saw that my desk drawers were gone through. Now, I have figured out that they were probably just looking for a pen, because the pen that was on my keyboard was missing, but thats not my point. In my new office, I don't have a door, and very little privacy to get my work done. My drawers are all I have. At home, same thing... As you all know, I am not a very private person. Everything I say or do is public domain, and I don't mind this. However, If you come to my house, and start looking through my crap (this includes my phone), I'm gonna go ballistic. Just ask, good chances are if you ask, I'll tell you almost anything. I write a blog for christs sake, you already know everything!!!

3) Ok, now this next one may be a little controversial, but here it is.... Don't degrade people. Everyone was created equal. Yes I am a white, middle aged male, but everyone deserves a chance. Now on the other hand, some stereotypes are true. Especially when it comes to driving. This is the biggest reason I want to move to Key West. Everyone gets along, and there aren't really a lot of cars. Plenty of bikes and scooters, but not a lot of 4 wheelers.

4) Traffic violations.... Failure to use a turn signal.... Hey Assholes, all cars come with them. At least let me know that you are going to cut me off. Traveling in the Left Lane at a speed less then the limit. If you are getting passed on the right side, and there is noone in front of you, guess what? You are wrong!!! Also, if you stay in a lane that is either going away (merge lane), or turn lane, just to pass an extra 3 cars, I WILL NOT LET YOU OVER. Theres a better chance of you hitting my car then me yeilding to let you get in front of me. Don't be a Dick, the reason traffic is always backed up at bottle necks is because of you....

OK, thats all I really have now. Those are the major things, thanks for letting me vent. I feel much better!!!

Hump Day Part 1 Million

Well here it is, another Hump Day! The week is quickly breezing by, and all everyone can think about is another weekend. Well Congratulations! you made it this far!!!

If you think about it, what makes Hump day so special? Its only 1/7th of your life. Weekends are only 2/7ths of your life. This means that 5/7ths of your life you spend time at work. thats IF you only work 5 days a week. Just something to think about. If you hate your job, you are spending that much time doing something you don't like. Is it really worth it?

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing something they love today, or at least doing someone, lol!!!

Peace, Love, and Happiness!!!

Wild Dreams

Well everyone knows that I'm a dreamer and usually its far too much for most. This would be the reason most of my relationships fail. I usually have my head in the clouds and I believe, that goals are only limited by your imagination.

Well recently, I have had a few more dreams and goals. Are they obtainable, I don't know... But I do know that I will have one hell of a time trying.

My latest heads in the cloud moment came last night. This time it may seem nuts, but I think it will be extremely possible.

I am going to run with the bulls.... won't be this year, maybe next year or the year after. Looking more like 2014, this way I can take 2 weeks off from work, and travel Europe. I have already planned out the route. Don't need Hotel rooms, because you just crash when you get tired, and this way you can spend as much time in each city as you would like.

Here is the route so far:

1) Fly into Pamplona Spain on July 7. This is the first day of the running with the bulls. I think I will watch the first day, and run on the second. I may be nuts, and I WILL run, but I want to make sure I get the route down, and won't get a horn up my ass.

2) Drive to Venice, Italy.... I would have to drive through France, and maybe stop in Milan, or another french city, but we all know my feelings of France.

3) Drive to Rome, Italy.... If I'm in Italy, I feel its a must to stop in Rome. This may be a couple day stay.

4) Drive to Naples, Italy... Maybe a day or two, so I can see if theres anything about my family in Naples.

5) Drive to Palermo, Sicily... Fly out from here, get there when I get there.... Might be a day, might be a couple of days.


Well theres the plans... Who wants to come with me? You don't have to run with the Bulls, I also need someone to take pictures of me while I run... Just to prove that I did it.

Weekend 6-22 thru 6-24

Well happy Monday everyone! Its back to the grind today, gotta make money so we all can pay the bills!

Had a great weekend, and here it is at a glance:

Friday- I took a half day so I can get up to the cabin early. Waited for my ride, and headed to the camp ground. Unpacked, then sat around talking, and writing my book all night. Got about 2 full chapters done, then went to bed.

Saturday- Started the day at the diner. They actually had pretty good food. Then we went fishing. I caught the biggest fish. I wasn't paying attention when I caught it either. I was over talking to the girls when suddenly my pole started shaking the tree. Reeled it in and it was a Catfish about 22 inches. After about 5 hours of fishing, and 2 fish total, we all decided that it was time to go swimming. It was nice to cool down for a couple of hours. Went back to the cabin and cooked dinner. Sat around the campfire until about 2am.

Sunday- Cleaned the campground. Got dropped off at home, then drove directly to the gym to weigh in. I weighed in this week at 226 lbs even. Pretty good when I wasn't completely true to my diet last week. Went home did chores then passed out on the couch.

Well that's really all everyone. Thanks for reading, and I hope you all have a great week.

Its About Time!

Well all, here it is! Another Friday!!!!

Its about damn time!

This weekend, I will be camping, fishing, swimming, and writing my book. I have some great ideas for it, and hopefully everything in my head transfers well to paper! I'm going to spend a lot of time with great friends, and hopefully relax a little this weekend!

Two weeks done with P90X. Its funny, when I started doing this, I couldn't do a pull-up anymore. As of last night, I can do 4. That's in a matter of only a couple of weeks. This stuff must be working!

Well an update on my weight loss: As of last Sunday, I am down to 229.4 lbs. I started at 306, on January 22, 2012. Not too bad if I do say so myself. I just really need to do some toning, and I have another 30 lbs to lose, but that will come with time and the P90X.

Update on drinking.... Today is number 168.... started on January 6th. I'm damn proud of myself. Who ever thought I could have this much fun without alcohol. It used to be an every weekend thing for me. I'm very happy I have found this new lifestyle, but when I am down to weight, I will enjoy one beer. The guys are already planning my going away party for when I leave for the Army again. I'll probably have a few then, but I believe I will be able to control it. I am a very strong individual and I have overcome a lot, in such a short amount of time. There is no derailing me this time.

Its all about determination and willpower.....

I have mastered them both.....

Almost There

Well a day and a half left of work, then I get a little breather. Happy Thursday all!!!

This weekend I will be camping for the first time since I was like 8 years old... Its gonna be a great time. Don't know what I am doing while I am camping, but I know there's a creek, pool, and other things at the camp site. Maybe I'll just sit around and continue to write my book. Maybe I'll fish (OK, so fishing is definitely happening). All I know, is its going to be a good time with great people!

Well I hope everyone has a great day! Hang on there, its almost over!

Ugh

Ugh, I feel like hell.....

Happy Hump day all....

I got up this morning, did about half of my P90X, and collapsed.... I'll finish it tonight. My body is just so drained right now, it needs a vacation. Its too bad that's still 2.5 months away.

Sorry for the short blog today, when I'm sick I don't feel like writing. Here's a song....

Survivor

Eye Of The Tiger

Risin’ up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I’m back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive


So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive


It’s the, eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watchin’ us all with the eye of the tiger…


Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin’ tough, stayin’ hungry
They stack the odds still we take to the street
For the kill with the skill to survive


It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watchin’ us all with the eye of the tiger…


Risin’ up, straight to the top
Had the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I’m not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive


It’s the, eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watchin’ us all with the eye of the tiger…


The eye of the tiger…
The eye of the tiger…
The eye of the tiger…
The eye of the tiger…

Forget It

I woke up this morning in a little better frame of mind. Happy Tuesday All! Today, I say fuck it, and continue to do what I have always done. I am really good at being myself, and that will not change. It is still time to do everything I want to do, and no one will ever stop that. I am a happy individual, I have my off days, but who doesn't?

My whole life I have spent proving people wrong. "I can't join the Army", Guess what, I fucking did it, going to do it a second time. "You will never look like you did back in 98", guess what, I sure as hell am on my way. Forget the doubters, I AM GOING TO SUCCEED. Its who I am, and nobody knows me better then I know myself.

Well, as for all my thinking yesterday, it still needs to happen. HOWEVER, things will come in time. Nothing needs to be decided at the moment. I am not going to stress myself out over things that will come by themselves in the future. As far as the army goes, It will be either Reserves or national Guard. I have a great job, and I want to move up. Does this mean I want to stay in Maryland forever? NO! but i will make my decision to leave when the time is right. Will it be a year? 10 years? 50 years? Who knows, and who cares. One thing at a time, and one foot in front of the other. Maybe some day I'll go sell real estate with Dad in Myrtle Beach, maybe some day I'll own a bar in Key West. Maybe I'll just stay right here. Nothing ever needs to happen now, life is to short to worry about what the future is.

Live in the present and it will guide you to the future.

I'm going camping this weekend, with some great friends, and I will clear my mind some more. Lots of fishing, maybe some picture taking, and maybe if I'm lucky I'll even get me some. Lol..... Maybe that's all I need to clear my head.

Ahhhhh, I feel better.

Hope everyone has a great day. Remember, Its getting closer to the weekend every second you stay breathing!

Confusion

Monday, The start of another week. I'm going camping next weekend, and that's all I know. Life is turning quickly, and my mind is in a million place. Where do I go from here, and with who? That's the only questions.....


My life is a fascinating thing. I'm still kicking around a whole bunch of ideas. I AM going back into the Army, but am I going to go Reserves or National guard? Or do I say fuck it all and go Active Army? Do I drag someone with me, or do I do it alone? If I Go Reserves, do I move south? or stay where I am and improve my house? If I go south, how far? My family is in South Carolina, but my head is in Florida.... My mind needs to get straight again, and all of the drama that I try to avoid keeps coming up. It may be time for me to disappear for a little while, I'll keep writing, but who knows what about.

OK, Anyway.....

Here's what I do know....

My weekend was pretty damn good. Here's the highlights:

Friday- went crabbing with my 2 friends and one lucky lady. We caught absolutely nothing (except for the two horse shoe crabs). Might be time to go south. Maybe the crabbing will get better.

Saturday- went over to a friends house then went to watch him play flag football. They lost. Their son is getting pretty big though, they grow up soooo fast.

Sunday- Changed the oil in the car, then went and played poker. Poker was horrible, but it is what it is. Oh well, its free poker, so nothing lost.

BTW, I did P90X all weekend. Its still kicking my ass, but they say its good for me. Everyone have a great week! I'll be around. Thanks for reading!!!

Finally Friday

Well this week went by, and I thought it was Friday since Wednesday, but FINALLY it is here!!!!

Happy Friday Everyone!!!

Tonight is our crabbing excursion, pray for full traps, and big crabs (the kind you eat, not the STD...)!!! Now if only I could find some chicken necks.... I found wings, so that will work in a crunch, but necks were made perfect for hand lines (or the other way around, you all know what I mean).

Anyway, I hope everyone has a great weekend! Try to relax a little, I know I will!

Bama Breeze
Performed by Jimmy Buffett

At the Bama Breeze, you can shoot some pool down there,
you can act a fool down there,
you can play it cool down there
At the Bama Breeze,
you can drink some beer down there,
argue laugh and cheer down there,
pass another year down there

Jimmy got caught,
smoking a joint out behind the bar,
sittin' in his car
and they took him to jail –
the tip jar paid his bail
In 1984 Mick Jagger passed through town,
bought the house a round,
signed his name on the wall,
in the ladies' bathroom stall

At the Bama Breeze,
I turned 21 down there,
had too much fun down there,
stumbled out with the sun down there.

Saturday night the bouncer Grady lets the ladies in free,
with a fake ID
and a short enough skirt – yeah,
figures what the hell could it hurt
Second set, the owner Lulu gets up with the band,
a beer in her hand,
and sings Free Bird slow,
then she raises a toast –
"here's to Ronny and the boys –
now everybody make some noise"

At the Bama Breeze,
you're one of our own down there,
you'll never drink alone down there,
good god I feel at home down there [repeat]

Rules for Fishing

Happy Friday everyone! oh wait..... Its only Thursday... Damn, I jumped the gun on that one a little bit. I went through all day yesterday thinking it was Friday. Maybe I am rushing life a little, but I am going crabbing on Friday, and that's probably the only thing I love more then fishing and myself, lol!

Anyway, As I have gone through life, I have learned a thing or two about fishing, and here they are, Keep in mind, that I fish for mainly catfish, and I am in no way, shape, or form an expert in fishing (Some of my friends are, and honestly compared to them, I suck, BUT I like it either way!). So here we go, the list consists of both fishing and crabbing:

1) If the catfish is legal limit, but there's not enough meat on it to eat, throw it back. Its not worth your time to clean it, besides fish nuggets burn when cooked.

2) The more bait on your hook, the bigger the fish you catch, AND the more bait you lose when the damn thing flies off of your hook while casting.... Think happy median people!

3) A 4 inch Catfish on a 3/0 hook is not impossible. Highly unlikely, but not impossible.

4) Catfish like Heavy Metal. The poles dance when Metallica and Godsmack play on the IPod.

5) Fishing from a dock or shore saves gas in a boat.

6) Bring a comfy chair for both fishing and crabbing, you're gonna be in it for the next 6+ hours.

7) Screw Dolphins, Crabs are the smartest animal in the sea. Don't believe me? Then how come I have to fix the holes in my bait bag from being cut through every time I go Crabbing.

8) Grab the crab from behind when getting him out of the net. They aren't flexible, and cant reach behind. A little stretching would help them with that, but we won't tell them.

9) Bring bug spray. I wish I had pictures from crabbing last year. The whole car was covered!

10) NEVER use bait that is more expensive then what you are trying to catch. Come on now, why use Shrimp to catch Catfish, I understand that they like this, but the shrimp cost a hell of a lot more.... Hint- Chicken Livers, $1.50 a tub....

11) Its funny to watch your friend get into a fist fight with a Catfish.... Sorry Dude, I still laugh about that.

12) Horseshoe Crabs suck, especially when they are having sex in your crab trap.


Well that's all I have for now, Hopefully you had as much fun reading this as i had writing it!

Here We Go....

Every time I say that I think of that commercial! Thank you Anheiser Bush! Anyway, Happy Hump Day! I hope everyone is hoping and enjoying another great day to be alive!

Today was Day 5 of P90X. Legs are spent and its only 9am.... Damn.... But what I figure is, It won't kill me, only make me stronger, but if it does kill me, I'll make the news! I'm gonna keep with it until I have my six pack and then some.

Tonight is going to be a major turning point in my life. Now this may not seem like much to most people, but to me its a lot. Tonight in preparation of going back into the army, I am shaving my goatee off.... I may even cry a little. Its gonna be weird.....

Oh well, Life goes on, as do I.

Hope everyone has a great day! I am still looking for a few good idea for the book. I'll probably do a lot of writing this weekend....

Book Ideas

Well, we made it through yet another Monday! If you are reading this, you survived, congratulations! I knew you can do it! I really don't know why people complain about Monday's so much, yea it sucks that you have to go back to work, but be happy you are working!!!!

Anyway, I decided to write a book a few months ago, and I have run into a writers block. Can anyone give me some ideas? What type of action would you put in a book? I don't want to give the book away, but I just need some ideas to get the creative juices flowing in my brain again. Nothing with vampires, monsters, or any of that crap, please....

Well I finished day 4 of P90X today. It was my first time doing Yoga. It wasn't as bad as everyone had warned me, but still worked me out pretty good. I'll tell you what though, my knee is actually feeling pretty darn good. I'm a little sore, but that was to be expected. I'm just hoping this whole thing works. I have 32 more pounds to lose to reach my goal.

I still haven't had a drink in 158 days, and at times I really want one. Especially when I am sweating my ass off doing yard work.....

Anyway, One day closer to another weekend! Every one have a great one, and don't forget to tell your friends about the blog. I also take suggestions as to what to write about, how to better the blog, anything you want to tell me or ask me, GO FOR IT!!!

The Amazing Adventures of Sam

Well happy Monday Everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! I started P90X on Saturday, and I'll tell you what, Its Kicking my ass! So lets run down the events of my weekend....

Friday- Moose Lodge..... A little drama at the Moose, I'm not going to say what, but lets say its never a dull moment. We should start our own Reality TV show. I guarantee we'll get more viewer then Jersey Shore, or any of those other shows.

Saturday- Woke up and did my first day of P90X... I got through the first part and I thought to myself, "This isn't too Bad".... Then came the Ab workout.... Holy Shit that hurt!!!! After that I decided I was going to take a drive. I went to Shanksville, Pa to visit the Flight 93 National Memorial. It was my first of three September 11th Memorials to visit. It only took me 10+ years to make it, but I am happy I did. I was then faced with a dilemma, Do I drive to Gettysburg to visit and take pictures, or do I drive to Deep Creek Lake, to do the same? I ended up at the Lake. It was a great day to be out there, I just wish I would have brought my fishing pole. I stayed there for a couple hours then drove home. 300 miles and one hell of a day.

Sunday- Day 2 of Pure Hell, aka P90X (Plyometrics). Then right after that I had to get the yard work started. That didn't help at all! Finished cleaning the house and just rested the rest of the day!

Well that's a look into my weekend! I hope everyone has as many stories and good thing to say about theirs!

Little Help from My Friends

Well another week has come to an end! Happy Friday all!!!!

As we read yet another day, I need to ask a favor to all of my readers. Please share my posts. Even though sometimes I get long winded, and sometimes things seem a little boring, you never know who might need a little inspiration. Most of you know me, and that I have been through a lot in my 32 years of living, but if I can reach just one person, it makes everything I blab about worth it. I put my entire life out there for you all to read, and have given up every bit of privacy. You know what, I'm perfectly fine with that. Now I add that my trials and tribulations aren't near what others go through, but if you have hopes and dreams, anything can be done!!!

Thanks for reading everyone, Tomorrow will be my day of rest. If anyone needs me, the phone will be on, but on silent. I will get back to you after I am done with me trip. I'm still not sure where I am going, but I'll know once I get there!!!!

With A Little Help From My Friends

And I'll try not to sing out of key.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mmm,I get high with a little help from my friends,
Mmm, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.

Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love.
Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love.

What do I do when my love is away.
(Does it worry you to be alone)
How do I feel by the end of the day

Would you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time.
What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine.
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mmm I get high with a little help from my friends,
Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends

Not Dead Yet

Happy Thursday all!!!!

Well last night, my New Jersey Devils avoided elimination, now its one game at a time, until the cup will sit in New Jersey. The chances are slim, but with 3 more wins, they can do it! Keep the Faith!!!!

Well its almost the weekend, does anyone have any great plans they care to share? I'm still not decided on where I'm going to go, but if I can get tickets to the Devils game Saturday night, you can bet my ass is driving to Newark!!!!

Well I hope everyone has a great day, don't worry, you'll make it. Its only 1 more day to another weekend!!!

Ahhhhh

Well after my flipping out episodes yesterday, today I woke up and told myself that I am perfectly fine. I am still going to take my trip on Saturday, and I am still not sure where I am going.

That being said.......

HAPPY HUMP DAY!!!!

Now on anther note, Yesterday marked the 10 year anniversary of one of my best friends. Brother you will always be missed. You were a great man, and left us way to soon. We will reunite before you know it! Tip one back, and watch me enjoy this ride while it lasts!

OK, That's enough of that..... Its a good mood day!

Everybody enjoy their day, and i hope everyone gets humped!

Short List

Happy Tuesday everyone! Another day closer to a much needed weekend.

As we all go through life, we know that everything isn't always perfect. Sometimes you have some rough spots. Even though I have been awesome lately, I have run into a rough patch. Mentally, I am fucked.... Maybe that's the wrong word. Mentally I'm drained. So many things going on, not enough time, money, or resources to do them. Its OK, though, shit happens. I am putting myself into a good mood (no matter how much I scream at assholes on 355 in the morning. I still do it with a smile).

So.......

This weekend, I think I am going to take a short trip. Probably leave Saturday morning, and return whenever I feel like it (Either Saturday or Sunday). It will be me, my camera, my car, and phone on silent for emergencies only! Here's my short list of destinations:

- Ocean City, Md.
- New York City, NY
- Philadelphia, Pa
- Shanksville, Pa and Deep Creek Lake, Md.

Anyone have any suggestions?

4- National League Pennants

3- Different stadiums they have called home

2- World Series Titles

Happy Monday All!!! I know, you are dreading the start of yet another work week, but hey, be glad you are working. Money makes the world go around.

8050- Games Played......

0- No Hitters Pitched by a New York Mets

1- No hitter Pitched by a New York Met!

Yes its true, Finally, after 51 years, the Mets, MY NEW YORK METS, Pitched a No-Hitter. It wasn't perfect, and it didn't have to be. There was a controversial call, and maybe it was a hit, BUT the umpire didn't see it that way. The Umps can take a perfect game away, they made up for it Friday night. No Matter what anyone says, haters can not take this away from these die-hard fans.

Well that's all I have for now, No weekend update, I was at the Moose Lodge (Well Several of them if you want to get technical).

Well have a great week all!!! Keep Rocking!!!!

Oh, they're hollerin' and cheerin' and they're jumpin' in their seats,
where did they go? To MEET THE METS!
All the fans are true to the orange and blue,
so hurry up and come on down -
'cause we've got ourselves a ball club,
The Mets of New York town!
Give 'em a yell!
Give 'em a hand!
And let 'em know your rootin' in the stand!
Come on and MEET THE METS,
MEET THE METS,
Step right up and greet the Mets!
Bring your kiddies,

Guaranteed to have the time of your life
because the Mets are really sockin' the ball; knocking those home runs over the wall!

Recovery

Well Happy F'ing Friday All!!!!!! And I mean that in the exciting way, not being sarcastic. Its time for yet another weekend, and I'm ready for it.

Friday night- Either fishing down at the river, or building new corn hole boards. We'll see. It all depends on the weather.

Saturday- Moose officers training all day. Saturday night, it all depends on the mood I happen to be in. Maybe I'll go out, probably just stay home and clean.

Sunday- Cleaning.....

Wow, even writing this almost put me to sleep! maybe this is the weekend I need to catch up on a little rest. Hope everyone has a great weekend! Stop on by if you feel like it!
