Again

Well Happy Hump Day All! (Said in my best Camel voice). Who would of thought such a simple commercial would have everyone talking about it every Wednesday. Oh the power of social media. What did we ever do without it?

Well, this gym thing twice a day is really kicking the crap out of me. I do Cardio every day in the evenings, Upper body every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and Abs every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. So you could say that Monday is sort of my rest day... Lol, Gotta get skinnier!

So, I'm still trying to decide on a few things I may want to do with my life, more to come on that later.

Well, that's all I have for today, Time to get this day over with so I can go home and crash out after another cardio session!

"Rolling In The Deep"
by Adele

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, it's bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
[Clean version:] Go 'head and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare
[Explicit version:] Go 'head and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare
See how I leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch
And it's bringing me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it, to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Baby, I have no story to be told
But I've heard one on you
And I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Make a home down there
As mine sure won't be shared

(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
The scars of your love remind me of us
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it, to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it, with a beating

Throw your soul through every open door (woah)
Count your blessings to find what you look for (woah)
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold (woah)
You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow (woah)
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
We could have had it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
It all, it all, it all
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could have had it all
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)

But you played it
You played it
You played it
You played it to the beat.

Who's Better?

Happy Tuesday All! Closing in on yet another weekend (Well, if you look at it the right way, we are)! Well, I hope you all have some interesting plans, because I will be wearing green all weekend. I love it when I wear green, because I sleep great those nights!

Well, I have been thinking about something that irks me slightly... Some things that people say just get on my nerves. The biggest one is "What? Do you think you are better than me?".... Not to sound cocky or anything, but damn right I think I am better than you. I have self worth, If I don't think I'm better than you, Then that already puts me at a disadvantage. I set out to accomplish things, if I wasn't better than you, I wouldn't get them done. I mean seriously, who goes out thinking, oh that person is better than me, blah, blah, blah.... Show the world how good you are and bow down to no-one...

Seriously, Think about it people!!!

Anyway, that being said, I started my double sessions at the gym again. Last night I did 30 minutes on the elliptical. I went 3 miles... Not too bad for someone 6 weeks out of surgery. This morning was my upper body exercise, and tonight will be another cardio session... I have goals to achieve, and I won't do that sitting on the couch!

Well, that's all I have for today! Have a great day!

Wake Up Call

Happy Monday All!!! Here we are, a start to a new week.... and my ass is making some changes.

Since my knee surgery, I have been slipping on my goals just a little bit. Its time to focus. Its time to get my ass back in gear, and accomplish everything that I have set out to accomplish. Its time to stop drinking yet again. Its time to work out as much as my body and doctors will let me. Its time to get down to 170 lbs. I can do this all, and I will. Why? Because determination sets in, and takes over.

Well, that all being said, here was my weekend:

Friday- Ended up going to my buddies friends house. Drank some shine, had a really good time. Got home around 3am or so.

Saturday- Woke up and went to the Commissary for some groceries. Then I relaxed most of the day. Went to a friends party Saturday night, good times! Went home and passed out.

Sunday- Cleaned house, then nothing productive Lol

Well, that's all I have for today. I hope everyone has a great week! Starting tomorrow I'll be at the gym twice a day. Should be interesting!!!

0/1

Woo Hoo For Friday!

Happy Friday All! Here we go, another week down, a million more to go! Anyone have anything exciting planned this weekend? I know I do!

Woke up this morning, and its starting to get a little cold already! What the heck, wheres my 100 degree summer weather? As you all know, I don't like the cold. I would take high temperatures any day!

Well, here's what I have planned for this weekend. Should be interesting.

Friday- Work, then grocery shopping. Afterwards, I have to get fitted for a tux. Yup, another friend has found a reason to get me all dressed up. Pictures to come when the wedding happens. After the fittings, who knows, probably some shenanigans somewhere!

Saturday- Gym, then some yard work as long as the knee lets me. In the evening, me and a few gs are going to a party in Frederick. Should be a really good time! Wet T-shirt contest, moonshine, and 80's/90's music. What more can you ask for?

Sunday- Gym, recovery time and NASCAR. Gotta relax at some point don't I? Lol.

Well, that's all I have for today! I hope everyone has a great weekend!

New Day, New Direction

Happy Thursday All!!! We are getting ever so close to yet another weekend, are you excited yet? I know I am!!

Well, as the title implies, I have been thinking a lot about a few things. Mostly it concerns about which direction I go once my knee in better. There are quite a few options I am keeping open, but we will see what happens. I say new direction, but the real direction has always been forward, its just a matter of what will take me forward.

So whats going on this weekend? I know what I am getting into, how about you?

Well, really that's all for today! Have a great one!

"Toes"
By Zac Brown Band

I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today. Life is good today.

Well, the plane touched down just about 3 o'clock
And the city's still on my mind
Bikinis and palm trees danced in my head
I was still in the baggage line
Concrete and cars
Are their own prison bars
Like this life I'm living in
But the plane brought me farther.
I'm surrounded by water
And I'm not going back again

I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today. Life is good today.

Adios and vaya con dios
Yeah, I'm leaving GA
And if it weren't for tequila and pretty senoritas
I'd have no reason to stay
Adios and vaya con dios
Yeah, I'm leaving GA
Gonna lay in the hot sun and roll a big fat one
And grab my guitar and play

Four days flew by
Like a drunk Friday night
As the summer drew to an end
They can't believe
That I just couldn't leave
And I bid adieu to my friends
Because my bartender -- she's from the islands
Her body's been kissed by the sun
And coconut replaces the smell of the bar
And I don't know if it's her or the rum

I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand
Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand
Life is good today. Life is good today.

Adios and vaya con dios
A long way from GA
Yeah, and all the muchachas -- they call me "big poppa" when I throw pesos their way
Adios and vaya con dios
A long way from GA
Someone do me a favor and pour me some Jaeger
[Another version: "Hey, boss, do me a favor and pass me the Jaeger"]
And I'll grab my guitar and play

Adios and vaya con dios
Going home now to stay
The senoritas don't care-o when there's no dinero
[Another version: "'Cause senoritas don't care-o when there's no dinero"]
I got no money to stay
[Another version: "You got no money to stay"]
Adios and vaya con dios
Going home now to stay
Just gonna drive up by the lake
[Another version: "I'm just gonna kick it on the lake"]

I put my ass in a lawn chair, toes in the clay
[Another version: "With my ass in a lawn chair, toes in the clay"]
Not a worry in the world, a PBR on the way
Life is good today. Life is good today.

Recent Rants

Good Morning All! Happy Hump Day! We are getting ever so close to another weekend! I can smell it can you.

I am going to share with you a recent "soap box" rant I posted on Facebook yesterday. Here it is:

 

(Walks into room, Sets up Soap Box, Stands on top)
Attention All!!!
It has come to my attention that there was a baby born over in England who is the next heir to the royal throne.. Why are we celebrating this? Don’t get me wrong, I understand the miracle of giving birth is something phenomenal, however, didn’t we end a war in 1783 (Revolutionary War), so we didn’t have to celebrate the next person to take over England? My brother and his wife had a baby back in May, I’m pretty sure there weren’t thousands of people in England that were celebrating. Come on people! Get with the program…

Part 2… The whole Zimmerman/Martin fiasco… Why are we still talking about this? Was it murder? Was it self defense? WE WEREN’T THERE!!!! Kid was shot, Kid died… OK, Does this not happen every day in the rest of America? How many shooting deaths are reported daily? How many non-racial or racial crimes happen every day? Thousands!!!! How many get a presidential speech? One… Did you know that there were 3 soldiers killed yesterday, defending your right to speak out about this crap longer? No, I bet you didn’t. Where is their speech? Where are their riots? Where is all the news coverage of the war we still have going on? Last time I checked, the Taliban hated us, so there’s your hate crimes. Oh wait, they love us, they just shoot us for the sport of it, sort of like fishing or hunting deer…. Come on people pull your heads out of your anal cavity for a few seconds and think about what the media is feeding you!
OK, Carry on….
(Steps off soap box, sets box on fire, leaves room in fashion)

 

 

Now, here's the thing, I know a lot of you live overseas and this doesn't really pertain to you. However, The people over here in the great US of A, seem to be majorly influence by whatever the main stream media decides to post. Its OK to report on these two things, but make it a side note, not the focus of everything. We have enough to worry about other than a baby that really has no influence on us. Maybe I'm being to hard on the topic.... Probably not.... Lets focus on the problems of our own country. Lets focus on the real issues. Whatever happened to truthful news broadcasting? Why beat a dead horse when a man was found innocent? Does any other country have this problem? If I really wanted to know about everything that was happening in England, I would turn on BBC.

 

 

Well, that's all I have for today! I hope everyone has a great day!!! 

In Search Of

Happy Tuesday All!!!! Well, another semi awesome day at physical therapy yesterday... OK, I lied, It sucked completely. Pain level in my knee shot up, so we are backing off on a few things. Its OK though, we will work through it. I'm going to get better if it kills me!

Have you ever sat back and thought "God life is great, but I'm missing one thing"? Well, the last few days I have. I think I need a place on the water. It doesn't matter if its the river or ocean, I think I just need a place where I can sit back and relax. Maybe I should get a trailer up at Riverbend, that way I can just go and relax whenever I feel like it. I was going to do this last year, but I stopped short for reasons I won't get into here. I love to camp, and chill out on weekend, I think this would be great. Its a lot closer then the ocean, even though that is still a viable option.

If you didn't catch it in the last statement, life is good. A few bumps in the road, but why complain? I woke up this morning, what else could I ask for?

Well, I hope everyone has a great day!

"Back"Colt Ford (feat. Jake Owen)

Back
When life was simple as that
I didn't know I'd miss it so bad
When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a hurry and back
To mama's home cookin' and dad
Was baitin' my hook and I'm sitting on a tailgate,
Thinking 'bout those days just
Wish I was
Back

When I think about how it used to be, Lord it was so simple then
Dirt-bike and a fishin' pole at a fishin' hole with all my friends
Nothin' better than a BB gun in my backyard just huntin' squirrels
Took a ring from my mama's drawer and gave it to this little girl
Her mama called mine and then my daddy had to have a talk
I remember like yesterday what he said when we took that walk
"Son don't you ever tell no lie, even if the truth burns"
Everyday my mind goes back to all those lessons learned
And I wanna go

Back
When life was simple as that
I didn't know I'd miss it so bad
When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a hurry and back
To mama's home cookin' and dad
Was baitin' my hook and I'm sitting on a tailgate,
Thinking 'bout those days just
Wish I was
Back

I remember that Texaco that Mr. Logan used to own
They turned in something else and Mr. Logan's long gone
My best friend David, he grew up ridin' in that wheelchair
Thought I'd give a million bucks if that old boy was still here
Ain't it funny how time goes by and memories seem to fade away
They built a parking lot on the baseball field we used to play
That skating ring is closed down, but now I see us back again
I remember those all night skates, very first dates and my old friend

Back
When life was simple as that
I didn't know I'd miss it so bad
When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a hurry and back
To mama's home cookin' and dad
Was baitin' my hook and I'm sitting on a tailgate,
Thinking 'bout those days just
Wish I was
Back

My dad's gettin' older now but son he's still as tough as ever
Him and my little boy are best friends now, wish it could last forever
My mama is still the one I talk to when I need advice
She never ever let me down
God what will I do when she's not around

Back
When life was simple as that
I didn't know I'd miss it so bad
When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a hurry and back
To mama's home cookin' and dad
Was baitin' my hook and I'm sitting on a tailgate,
Thinking 'bout those days just
Wish I was
Back

Life Gets Easy

Happy Monday All! Well, another weekend has passed, and we are on the start of yet another week. Physical Therapy tonight and Wednesday. Going to get my tux fitted on Friday for my buddies wedding, and next Saturday night is a party.

This last weekend made me realize, that I really don't need some people in my life. Its to easy to let go. Theres some more changes coming, so be prepared. Thanks for the memories all, I'm going far!

Well, here's a replay of my weekend:

Friday- Ended up at the Frederick Moose Lodge to use some of the free drink tickets that I had saved up. Saw a bunch of people I haven't seen in a long time. Then we went downtown.... Don't ask me where we went downtown, because I really don't remember. We ended up at Denny's for breakfast, and I got home around 330-4 am. Great night from what I remember lol.

Saturday- Recovered, I had started feeling a little under the weather on Friday, I think its just allergies, but the drinking probably didn't help. Stayed in all day and relaxed.

Sunday- Same as Saturday for the most part, had some company, relaxed, watched some movies, went to bed.

That all being said, today starts me going back on my super healthy kick. Gym twice a day when I don't have physical therapy. Life is good right now, but it can always be better!

I hope everyone has a great week! I know I will!!!

Woo Hoo for Friday!

Happy Friday All!!! Well, its going to be a great day (What day that we are breathing isn't?)! I got a little sleep last night, over slept my alarm and woke up feeling like hell, but its going to be a great day none the less.

This weekend, I am planning on not doing much, maybe hanging out with a few friends, but other than that, recovery weekend. Here's the tentative plans:

Friday- Waiting on hearing back from a friend. If he comes up, we will be in Frederick tonight, maybe the wine bar, maybe the Moose. Who knows? If he doesn't come up, I'll be at home doing a little landscaping and sipping on some moonshine! If anyone feels like stopping by feel free.

Saturday- AC guy is coming first thing in the morning, then helping with a refrigerator. Don't worry, I'm not lifting, just driving. Whatever doesn't happen Friday night, I hope to happen Saturday night.

Sunday- Plans unsure. Maybe rest, maybe go out to dinner.... I'm playing this one by ear.

Well, that's all I really have for today! If anyone feels like stopping by for some shenanigans, let me know!

Happy Thursday!

Happy Thursday All! Well, another week is nearing an end, anyone have any exciting plans this weekend? Mine should be decent, but we'll get into that tomorrow.

Physical Therapy went well yesterday, we tried a bunch of new exercises, most of them while standing on the balancing platform. No pain, but I was shaky as hell. They say this is good, because I'm working it. I was also cleared to start using the elliptical machine at the gym. This is awesome, because that means I can start doing some kind of cardio. I started this morning and just did 10minutes. I didn't want to push too hard and suffer any setbacks. I have PT again tonight, should be fun.

Life is good right now. Diet has started back up. I'm meeting a lot of new people. I feel like everything is going in the right direction. Still not sure about what I want to be when I grow up, but does anyone ever?

Well, that's all I have for today! I hope everyone has a great one!

Hump Day!

Welcome Back All! Happy hump day! Its good to say that again, it means I'm slowly getting back to my normal schedule. It was almost nice to fall asleep at 7pm yesterday! Still a little tired though, I guess getting up at 3am will do that to you!

Dr's appointment went OK yesterday. I'm healing, but not as fast as expected. The Dr gave me more anti inflammatories, and if those don't work he is going to give me a shot in my knee on August 20th. However, he extended my no running until October 14th. This sucks!!!! Oh well, I have to heal, and this is the only way I will get better.

I have started a new ab workout, which I am doing three days a week in place of my leg workout. Here it is:

-Leg spreaders (M4x25)*
-Flutter Kicks (M4x25)*
-Leg Raises (25)
-Bicycle (M4x25)*
-Knee ins (25)
-Ball Crunches (25)
-Planks (30 seconds)
-Sit-ups (25)
-Ab machine (20 front, 20 each side)

Do this 3 times
*(M4=Military 4 count.... 1,2,3,1...1,2,3,2....1,2,3,3...1,2,3,4...1,2,3,5,,,,Etc)

If you do this and don't feel it, you are doing something wrong!!! It can be done every day, but for beginners, just do it 3 times a week, with a day of rest in between each day!

Well, that's all I have for today! Have a great one!!!!

Tuesday's Gone

Well Happy Tuesday All! Slowly I am getting back into the swing of things. Up and at the gym at 0300, at work by 0600. Too bad I didn't go to sleep till around 2230 last night (Damn Home Run Derby). Tonight, I am hoping for a little extra sleep, but the MLB All Star game is tonight, so lets see if that actually happens.

This afternoon, I have yet another Dr's appointment. Hopefully, all goes well. I see progress in my recovery, but it does hurt on occasion. I'll keep going to my Dr's appointments and Physical Therapy, hoping it will all work out and I won't need the additional surgeries.

Yesterday was my first day back at work. They did as much as they could in my absence, but I still have a lot of stuff to get done. Welcome back to me!!!

Well, that's all I really have for today. More gym time after my appointment tonight. It feels good to finally be back to a little bit of normal.

Tuesdays Gone
By Lynyrd Skynyrd

Train roll on, on down the line,
Won't you please take me far, far away.
Now I feel the wind blow, outside my door,
I'm leavin' my woman at home, oh yeah.
Tuesday's gone with the wind,
My baby's gone, gone with the wind.
And I don't know, oh, where I'm goin'.
I just want to be left alone.
When this train ends, I'll try again.
I'm leavin' my woman at home.
My baby's gone

Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
My baby's gone, with the wind.
Train roll on
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
My baby's gone, with the wind.

Train roll on
Train roll on many miles from my home,see I'm,
I'm ridin' my blues, babe, blues away, yeah.
But Tuesday you see, a she had to be free.
Somehow I got to, to carry on.
My baby's gone.

Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
My baby's gone, with the wind.

Train roll on...train roll on...
Roll on train...roll on train...roll on train
Train roll on...the train, it rolls on
Train rolls on I can't change, I can't change,
I can't change, I can't change,I can't change...
Ride on train
I can't change
Train roll on
Lord, I can't change
I can't change

Back In The Saddle Again

Happy Monday All! Well here we are again, I'm back at work, and back to a slight sense of normalcy. The blog will be written daily again, thanks for bearing with me in my absence.

Well, last weekend was fairly boring. Drank Friday night, Saturday and Sunday I spent on the couch watching movies and resting my knee. I am going to start hitting the gym hard (well, as much as I possibly can do), and back on the diet. I am going to lose the rest of this weight yet. The girls love a man who is cut so they say! Lol

This week is full of Dr's appointments, hopefully theres no set backs. I have one with the surgeon tomorrow, and Physical Therapy Appointments on Wednesday and Thursday. Here we go! Back to Sam's busy schedule, with very little sleep.

Well, I hope everyone has had a great weekend! I'm ready to get this post operation life started!

"Mud On The Tires"by Brad Paisley

I've got some big news
The bank finally came through
And I'm holdin' the keys to a brand new Chevrolet
Have you been outside it sure is a nice night
How about a little test drive
Down by the lake

There's a place I know about where the dirt road runs out
And we can try out the four-wheel drive
Come on now what do you say
Girl, I can hardly wait to get a little mud on the tires

[Chorus]
'Cause it's a good night
To be out there soakin' up the moonlight
Stake out a little piece of shoreline
I've got the perfect place in mind
It's in the middle of nowhere only one way to get there
You got to get a little mud on the tires

Moonlight on a duck blind
Catfish on a trot line
Sun sets about nine this time of year
We can throw a blanket down
Crickets singin' in the background
And more stars than you can count on a night this clear

I tell you what we need to do is grab a sleepin' bag or two
And build us a little campfire
And then with a little luck we might just get stuck
Let's get a little mud on the tires

[Repeat Chorus]

And then with a little luck we might just get stuck
Let's get a little mud on the tires

Here We Go Again

Happy Thursday All! Well, I am getting ever so much closer to going back to work again, and I seriously can't wait! As much as everyone would love to have a whole month off from work, there are many other things that I would much rather do then lay on my couch.

So this morning I was searching Facebook, and I saw the question "Who is the most influential person in your military career?". Well, this got me thinking, (we all know how dangerous that could be), My friends? My Family? Classmates? Commanders? In the end, even though all of these people have influenced me in some type of way, whether it be positive or negative, most of my inspiration comes from myself....

I have received encouragement from all types of people. At the end of the day, I signed the papers to get in twice, I work out to better my health, I bust my ass to get everything I want. Is this self centered of me? Hell No! This is confidence! Confident that I can succeed in anything I do. Confident that I will overcome any obstacle thrown in front of me. I push myself, I will keep driving until all of my goals and dreams come true!

Well, theres my self centered rant for the day, and don't get me wrong, I appreciate everything that everyone says and does for me. I have thanked, personally each and every person that has pushed me along the way. At the end of the day, If my mind doesn't push me, it just doesn't get done....

Well, that's all for today! I hope everyone has a great one. Just remember, some people will always be there to guide you, and positively influence you, but if your mind isn't right, you will be your own downfall....

Moonshine and Music

Happy hump day all!!! Its a great day to be alive, even through all of the rain. A little water never hurt anyone....

Well, sorry for the lack of a post yesterday, I was a little busy. I started off at Physical Therapy at 8am, Then I went up to Gettysburg to meet a friend.... I finished off the night with lots of music and alcohol on my porch. Good times.....

Do you have any idea what is better then my life? Nothing. Yes there are a few things missing in it, and those will come in time, but my life is pretty damn good. I finally get back to work next Monday. Then I have my next Dr's appointment next Tuesday. Hopefully the Dr will clear me to start running.

Well, thats all I really have for today! I hope everyone has a great one! 

Manic Monday

Happy Monday All! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend! I am entering my last week of this hell of a boring vacation. 

Anyway, some interesting things are happening here in my happy home... One of my really good friends is going to move in with me for a little while. Should be fun, with a whole lot of moonshine to be drank. Last Saturday, I helped him move his stuff too storage... Don't worry all, I was careful, and I basically only drove... And I stopped as soon as I noticed all the swelling in my foot and my ankle. 

I would tell you about my weekend, but other then the moving, it has been nothing but laying around, watching The Walking Dead marathon, and watching movies. 

Well, time to get my haircut all! Have a great Monday! 

Celebrating Freedom

Well, Happy Friday All! I hope all had a successful holiday celebrating your freedom. I know I did!

Well, lets start with Wednesday night, I went to a friends house, drank a good bit, then rocked out playing some ladder ball. It was a great time with some good friends.

Then Thursday....

People forget why we actually celebrate the 4th of July. It isn't just another day of drinking and lighting your self on fire, I meant, grilling and BBQing. Its the time to celebrate your freedom. Its a time to be thankful for all you have. Its time to thank service people who make that freedom possible.  For once, I'm not just saying the military (even though they all hold a very special place in my heart), I'm saying its time to thank the police officers, EMT's, and Firefighters. They all help to keep this great nation safe, and enjoyable for all to live....

Well, theres my shout out for today! Last night, I went to another close friends house. It was great eating some good food, and seeing the kids again. THey have always been like family to me, and I wish I could have stayed longer, but the knee was hurting a little too much. I'll have to make it over there again soon.

I hope everyone has a great day! Just think, If you are working today, the weekend is only a few hours away! Have a great one!!! 

The Music

Happy Hump Day Everyone! Well for most of you tomorrow is a holiday, and you will be going out partying like there is no tomorrow. Just be careful, and remember drinking and driving is never a good idea.

Have you ever noticed that music plays a major part in your life? For every song a memory? Maybe its just me, but I even have some songs between me and ex's that not make me want to stab myself in the eye with a rusty fork. Most of the times these songs were some of my favorite! Seriously though, am I the only one that can hear an old song and remember a camping trip, a night out, a kiss (or more), or whatever?

I think the music can do wonders to someones body and soul. I mean how many times can you hear Metallicas black album and not want to be on a football field or in a gym pumping iron. Better yet, how many times can you hear Jimmy Buffet and not want to be on a beach with an ice cold beer in your hand. Its all about the music. Live it, love it, and rock on...

Well, thats all I have for today. While I'm gone, turn on the radio, listen to a little music, and make new memories....

Starting Over

Happy Tuesday All! Well, Sorry for the late post, but I had some thing to do this morning. I hope everyones day is going smoothly.

Yesterday, I started Physical Therapy. I felt great afterwards, but today, I am still a little sore. We started by trying to knock my knee back into place. I don't think that helped too much. Then we went over my exercises that I have to do every day. Those helped a good bit. I am hoping after I get them done today, That I will begin to be pain free. At the end of the session, we put the electric to my knee, along with an icy compress machine. This was probably the best thing I have every been though as far as my knee. I think that the machine itself was worth my co-pay.

The rest of the day, I laid around and watched movies, along with icing up my knee some more!

Well, thats all for today! Up bright and early tomorrow for some more Therapy! Heres to starting over with my knee working again!

I hope everyone has a great day!!!

Inspiration

Happy Monday All! Week number 3 of being at home, and this is really starting to blow, but oh well, what am I going to do about it? Not a damn thing, but that's ok, because I am going to keep pushing.

Well, I had a fairly good weekend! Started Friday, and just went through. Well, here it is!

Friday- Up bright and early, and drove down to my buddies house near Winchester, Va. First thing we did was go to Trick Trucks, to look for accessories for our vehicles. Bad idea... I found a few things I want to do to my truck, including the following. 2" leveling kit, off road top lights, rear light bar, exhaust system to make the diesel louder, and a few other items..... Yea, most of that will happen many, many years from now. LOL.....

After the truck shop, we started Winery hoping. We hit 6 wineries, through out the day. I may have been on my feet a little too much, but it was all well worth it. We ended the the night, sitting in downtown Winchester, smoking a cigar, and just people watching. It was a great day.

Saturday- Started off hanging at my house, then went to my buddies house not to far from me. We sat around a while, played some video games, beer pong, and some corn hole.... yup once again, over did it.

Sunday- Relaxed and recovered. I think I slept a good portion of the day then passed out early!

Well, that's all for today! I hope everyone has a great week, and enjoys the holiday!
