Test of Will

2005-06-20T12:52:00.000-07:00

So I decided today on my run that this whole get in to shape thing is just all just a test of will power. SOmething i have always conisdered myself to have a large amount of, like in highschool and more recently I gave up drinking soda, not for any reason more so to prove to myself that If i wanted to i could give up drinking something i would drink more than i would eat food. So I am challenging my self to start working out and get into shape, Getting your self to do something though is a lot harder than giving something up, when you give something up you inevitably just replace it with something else, when i gave up soda the first time i just started to drink a hell of a lot of kool-aid and juice, this time it was water, which is like 10 times healthier ( and cheaper). So this summer i am gonna see if i have the will power to stick to this workout thing, and anyone who reads this is free to ride my ass if i dont, b/c i alsow decided that the only way i can post on here is if i work out. so whenever i work out there will be a new post. Today i did my normal 1.5 mile run did it in about 20 min which isnt to bad, had to go alittle slower towards the top b/c a felt like i was going to vomit. Not used to what i can and cant do b4 a run, last time i felt sick b/c i hadnt eaten anything so this time i had some munchies like an hour or so b4 i started and then some water b4 i went, i think it was the water this time. SO i plan on doing some lower body workouts tonight but i'm not sure exactly what i can do. Only things i know of are either ankle raises, i think thats what you call them, when you put your toes on a step and then just raise up a bunch. Squats are the other one i know of so i'll probably just do those tonight.
On a side note I decided that the new batman movie isn't necessarily an action movie, b/c the action isn't all that great, with the exception of the awesome chase scene. but more a movie just talking about how bruce wayne became the bat. So on my recent bat obesssion i picked up Batman: The Long Halloween 350+ pages of bat goodness, it was a damn good book and an awesome murder mystery it had me guessing up till the end, and then when you are damned sure you know who the killer is its like oh wait ha ha your wrong. Cant wait to read more of the bat. Last thing in this long post, started listening to Stacie Orrico, damn is she good, ya i know she is lame ass pop, and to top it off she is singing religious music, but so what i have good tast in music ^^ or at least I have declared it so. Anyhow Adios muchacho/as

Batman and workout update.

2005-06-18T11:32:00.000-07:00

SO i went and saw batman late last night and damn that movie was awesome by far the best batman movie ever made. totally makes up for the last two. Not sure if it was "better" than the other comic movies meaning x-men or spiderman. I think i liked it more but thats just because I think christian bale fucking rules, and that batman is like the coolest superhero ever. So needless to say i loved the movie and am gonna see it again with christine.
Second point. Damn motivating yourself to work out is a lot harder than it seems. SO basically i went running on monday and have set my alarm to wake me up every morning at like 6-7 and i hit sleep every time telling myself oh i'll run in like 30 more min or i'll do it when i get home tonight. I did just finish doin some pushups and crunches and God damn am i out of shape back when i was playing football i could usually do like 50-70 pushups so i fiugred i could do like 20 no prob man i had to push to hit 20. the 20th was the push up where you like have to struggle and if you dont get up right away your going to collapse. SO i did one set of 15 then another of 20 that and 30 crunches, which i have never been good at btw even in football. But all in all it barely took more than one song to do those 3 sets so i think i am gonna start doing that every night and morning, prolly switch out the variations. And tommorrow i am gonna go running damnit i dont have to be at work till 10:30 so i have plenty of time to run and then even come home and play some games.
Another sidenote, Got my druid to 24 last night and did some hardcore ganking the other day, damn is that fun. I think i am gonna get dressed now and swing by b. Dalton and see if they have the batman graphic novels i've been loking for. Adios all

Start of the summer routine

2005-06-13T06:42:00.000-07:00

Ok so I decided a few days ago that i wanted to get into shape this summer. I think it was mainly due to seeing mr. and ms. Smith, and damn brad pitt is hot, but he is not rediculously built like vin diesel or something, and he just looks like he is in real good shape, bot like he spends 6 hours a day in the gym. Granted this could just be my daydreamings since i have never been a work out fiend and maybe i'm thinking that it is just a little bit to easy. So anyways i decided to start exercising every morning, just at home stuff, because i hate the freaking gym, and no i dont know why really. So anyways not really anyone reads this blog anymore except jac every now and then and maybe chris. But I'm gonna start using it to keep track of my exercising, Oh and if anyone knows any good at home stuff i can do let me know i plan on really just running, crunches and push-ups and varying up the type like incline/decline etc. So anyways I decided that today was the day i was going to start, since it is my first day by myself up here. So i got up at 6 and went running ran about 1.5 miles or so in about 20-30 min seemed like i did pretty good, didnt have to use my inhaler at all, made it to the top of the hill before i had to shuffle. On the way down i had a pretty mean cramp in my left inside quad though, not pleasent, never had one b4 really and yes i stretched b4 i ran. prolly either pushed to hard or didnt stretch enough. But i think thats all i'm gonna do this morning i might do some push-ups tonight we'll see, not feeling to hot after the run dont think i'm supposed to do that on an empty stomach. Oh well live and learn, well off to the shower now. adios muchacha/os

E3 and Other Happenings

2005-05-20T22:20:00.000-07:00

Wow So i just did e3 this week really cool show this year, I went the last 2 years as most of ya'll know, I think this might have been my fave yearclose with the first time though. So Anyways on to the cool stuff, Didnt really see much of the next gen systems, Only saw a couple xbox 360 games and the only one that was at all impressive was Ghost recon 3, and it looks freaking rediculous. Ok so i'm goin to steal some of christines bandwith while pluging her site at the same time, but here are some shots of GR3 which are gorgeous but dont do justice to seeing it in motion. 1

What else oh I saw starcraft ghost again looked real good they had a multiplayer demo up which could potentially be really freaking cool. In the demo you could be a ghost, Firebat or Marine. You could also hop into the different vehicles, i saw a wratih and a vulture being used. Oh i took pictures of the coolest Controller ever, Its a blue slime controller for dragonwarrior 8

(side not i cant decide if i sould just post the actual pictures or i should resize them to fit better...)
Ok couple more things before i wrap this up, Prolly my favorite game i saw was called Okami, you play a japanese Sun god who takes the form of a wolf. But the cool thing is its all drawn like some japanese watercolor painting really kool look to it. It seems like you can also pull the screen back and use a brush to interact with the world i got a cool video of the compat in the game.

Couple other videos i took, of the ultimate spiderman game the first shows venom throwing cars at people the second shows some of how the story scenes play out in a cool comic book format.

Oh and last thing for tonight, prolly the coolest thing I saw there. See the pictures and enjoy.

we should all start blogging again,%

Less Frequent Bloggs

2004-07-05T21:07:00.000-07:00

So it seems Blogging, has be come less frequent for us all, i'm not sure if the mystique has worn off or what, maybe we just dont have as much to say, maybe we just dont feel like spending time to write it down (prolly the last one for me at least). So lets see what has been goin on, Saw Spiderman 2 damn fine movie, Now i'm just crossing my fingers that the symbiote will show up in three, dont think venom will but i think spidey vs. himself would be cool, and it would set up venom for the 4th. Oh just finished the game today that game is so freaking awesome just the sense of coolness you get while swinging through NY and running along a skyscraper to jump off grab a light pole jump from that then go back to swinging, never gets old. well maybe eventually. but not yet. Oh found pictures of a sic ass GBA i want. lets see if i can post them...

Any ways that looks awesome. What else Oh started watching a sweet ass new anime called wolfs rain, done by the people who did cowboy bebop i think its actually on adult swim on saturdays. But me lacking cable bought it at the store with my b-day money, its pretty cool though, maybe we'll watch it next time i come down. Which brings me to my real reason for posting. So me and christine are prolly comin to bako this weekend i should have sat and friday off, so rock or jac if ya'll could come down that'd be awesome, I think i am gonna bring my naurto game this weekend and we can get some 4 player GC action goin. Next thing me and christine were thinkin ya'll should come down one weekend b/c we found this real sweet netcafe place where its like $8 for 4 hours on the system, and they have a group discount as well. And there is a sweet arcade across the street thats open till like 4 am. Anyways though it would be fun to get together and just play games like we used to at tournament software. anyhow i'm off things to do citizens to save.

My B-day weekend

2004-06-24T18:41:00.000-07:00

So It's my birthday tomorrow and like Christmas there is like nothing I really want. I mean I was able to think up some DVD's and CD's I'd like but for like 20 years of my life whenever a occasion came around where I got gifts I always asked for games or toys. But with my damn job I play all the games I want as soon as I come out. Damn that job of mine. So I'm gone down to bako tomorrow night. And I'm not sure if Christine told ya'll wrong or what but Friday night I was gonna have dinner with me madre (we can still do magic later though) But no bbq or draft Friday. Saturday however is another thing. We can draft or just get together and play and hang out. Thing about drafting is that its like $10 a person so I dunno if ya'll are down to spend money or not, other thing is it will take like 3-4 hours at least me thinks. Damn fun though. I'll be down for either Not sure what alfred's plans are but I guess he bought a couple of decks himself and he is itching to play also so I'll have to talk to him about drafting. Anyways So since jac left me a blog I assume your gonna be in town. Anyhow if all ya'll can get back to me by the end of the night I can pick up all the packs on my way into town so that we don't have drive cross town, then ya'll can just gimmie $10 anyhnow I'm done time to play some Ground Control 2 and eat some dinna.

Been A while

2004-06-17T17:26:00.000-07:00

Well its been a while since my last post. Well Magic is like the best game ever had a total blast playin with everyone back in bako. Cant wait to play again now that i have my crazy deck all ready to go. Saw Chronicles of riddick Best action movie i've seen in a long time. Next it spider man 2 cant wait to see that. Ugh i watched master and commander last night very unimpressive. I think it succeded in being a good naval movie but damn did that movie drag along. I need a new CD to listen to for driving to work. I think i have listened to my current CD like 8 million times. I would ask for sugestions but i think i know what they will be, johnny cash, umm.... some indie band i've never heard of, and well no freakin idea what jac would suggest. So do u all still play SC? Havent talked to rock in a bit so not sure. we should get together and try some WC3 We could all team up and get schooled by the cpu. Anyhow christine is getting out of the shower so i think its time I take her to go shopping (yay!) intereseting side note. I love when new games come out with random names b/c I get to hear my customers give their interesting take on it. So Psi-ops came out yesterday and sure enough someone called and asked for "fizz"ops which jordan responded with no but we do have psiops, the customers response "you know when ya'll gonna get fizzops in?" Ahh some times i love retail.

Michael Vincent is a Bad Azz

2004-06-08T12:36:00.000-07:00

So I just finished Chronicles of Riddick: escape from butcher bay and I must say damn was that a good game! Very rarely will I finish a game all the way through. Games tend to lose steam towards the end, But this game I thought I beat the game a couple of times only to be foiled at the last second. So I practially beat this game like 3 times, and never slowed down. Cant wait to see the movie now. So if any of ya'll are interested I'll;l be seein it Friday night 8^> now I know rock is a hater, but Brandon and jac if your interested lemme know maybe we can work somethin out. So now I guess I'll get started on Full Spectrum warrior, which I hear is equally awesome. Hey rock lemme know if you wanna play tonight, or manana. Oh and all you guys who actually play magic with me 8^P I had a sick ass idea for a nasty ass deck that I'll hopefully get runin b4 next time we meet. Adios all

First Real Post

2004-06-07T11:34:00.000-07:00

Ok so after like 2 days of watching smallville i have to say its actually pretty damn good. I dont know if its up there with Buffy and angel but still pretty good. But nothing can touch those freaking japanese anime's as far as tv shows. Ah well, So Rocky you need to cave and play magic with us all its pretty fun, and we could have some crazy 5 player free for all action. Dude Lex Luthor is the man, he is the best person in this freaking show. (sorry the wife is watching as we speak) Anyways, we should all figure out a time and place to get together, be it SB or Bako. I would say we could all meet here but um kinda lackin on the space aspect :( but we should all but the diff's behind and just hang out be it rocky comin to bako or brandon and jac goin to SB I'm down for either so me and rock should see if we can schedule a day off toghether on the weekend or see if b-dog can get a weekday off. Whateva though, anyhow I loveded you guys, I loveded you ;)
