Start....(Edited)

Since my last post I have tried to work out as often as I could. I wont be able to go to the gym Friday or Saturday so I'll have to make up for it Sunday, and then take Monday off. The only thing I don't have down is the amount of food I need to eat. I can't seem to force myself to eat that much.

**Side note I didn't get coffee today and feel dead.

I think I might need to go back to powder food. It is easy and can go everywhere you go. Trade off is that it doesn't taste very good.

Measurements:

• Biceps - 15 3/4 in.
• Chest - 42 in.
• Forearms - 13 in.
• Waist - 37 in.
• Quad - 24 1/4 in.
  

185....

I'm not trying to lose weight, but I have lost A LOT since I have stopped trying. It is due to me not eating. In no way am I starving myself I just never have time to sit down and eat a real meal. Instead of being a typical American and making pit stop at my local fast food chain I just eat food that will fuel my body (carbs and protein). I know it's not healthy and I'm sure I will pay for it in the end but I refuse to allow myself to "woof" down that value meal with 986,765,564 calories.
My clothes kind of don't fit anymore so that is very annoying in the morning when I'm trying to get ready and my pants or shorts are falling off me. So today I made a promise to myself to start eating and going to the gym to promote a healthy weight loss. I will post my measurements soon and keep updates coming.
Things I need to blog about:

1. The Dark Knight
2. My job good/bad
3. College

185 is about how much I weigh.

Eye opener

I know you are not really suppose to open a writing up with a question, but I guess once will not hurt. Follow a dream or follow a future? Sounds simple and can be applied to so many things. However, I am applying this to my scholastic road. Ever since I was a young boy around the age of seven or eight I always wanted to play football for Ohio State University. Genetics played a big role in that dream not being fulfilled. I can earn a degree from there filling a small part of that dream; more specifically Fisher School of Business. I was recently talking to a friend (Lisa A.) about what school they are attending.  Miami University came up and they went on to boast about how great it is. I took it with a grain of salt because as far as I knew OSU was one of the top business schools in Ohio if not the best. After a few weeks of hearing this I decided to look into it. I found that Miami is a better college than OSU. Some would say then go there. While others say follow your dream and seek a degree from Ohio State. Following my dream might only get me so far, but following a better academic program how much more would I gain? So now I have to come up with a decision. I have until October to figure out what I want to do.  I will be turning to God for answers on this. Maybe he will slip answers into my dreams or send me messages over the radio. WAIT!!!! Maybe me figuring this out was it. HA no really I'm screwed. 

S.A.S.

Dear people of America,

If you have not already heard or know about this we are in a little recession. This could be the start of something worse if the next president is incompetent. The title of this blog is S.A.S. because at my work we just finished up semi annual sale. True things were marked down up to 75 percent off, but if you cannot afford them do not buy them! Also do not sign up for a credit card to buy things you can not buy with cash. All the department stores are having sales to get your money because they are struggling too. Recessions and depressions last much longer than months. The depression on the 30's lasted for a few years. I am not going to blame it on gas like so many people out there, but I will blame greed and the elected officials of this nations for allowing this. They are so worried about being reelected that they stop caring right before elections.

**The cover of Newsweek I thought was perfect because Americans are running blind in the night spending money they do not have.

The great thing about humans is we can change our life styles. Gas is going to be seven dollars a gallon by the end of summer. Who cares buy a bike and ride it, take a bus or car pool like my some of my family is now doing.

Friends

The other day I was on the driving range trying to have time to myself, but that is never likely to happen. I went through my first bucket and checked my phone to see how much time I had remaining before I had to go to work. I saw I had a txt from my mom telling me she had news about one of my friends since fourth grade. Keeping in mind that I have not heard about him or talked to him in close to a year. I nervously txted her back is it good or bad? I was replied with "can I call" knowing this is never good a thing I told her I would call her after I finished my bucket. It turns out my friend Scott Reedy robbed a gas station. She then tried to insert comments his mom told her such as "he wants help...he has asked for help but turned down." Okay a quick run down he was kicked out of the Marine Corps, he has been in prison before and he also only asks for help when he is in trouble. He has gotten into trouble more times than this but I refuse to go into greater detail. He also has a child and his girlfriend has also be in and out of jail too. 

Another friend Chad Rhinesmith dropped out of school in the 10th grade. Well this is what happened. He convinced his dad that the reason for his poor grades was because the teachers had it in for him. So he was taking home schooling for a few months and then just stopped. This equals dropping out. Now he is addicted to any pain killers her can get his hands on. 

I do have one more but this is just upsetting that people I called friends are throwing their life away to drugs. 

I know I dropped names but they dropped our friendship. 

My vote is in....

For once I have actually started to think about who I would vote for in the presidential race this year. In the beginning I was siding for McCain  because of his service to this country. However, now that Hilary is out Mr. McCain is make some bad moves, and statements that he might not be able to recover from. When it was still unclear who was going to win between Obama and Hilary he could make bold comments and have them go unnoticed. But now, oh now it is a different race. Mr. McCain said something about keeping our troops overseas for a hundred years if we had to fight the war on terror. That is crap all we are doing is playing the role of a bully. McCain is now trying to say he is not for war, but by keeping our troops there is a good thing. I am sorry but placing hundreds of thousands of troops lives in danger to in-force OUR  way of thinking is bullying! Obama seems level headed and by not taking campaign contributions from big industries he does not owe any favors when he is elected. Look at President Bush just as horrible as his father and wouldn't/couldn't pass any laws because he owed too many favors. So in the end we have to pay for it. The American population is like cattle in a pin. We may MOOO but eventually we give in and go where we are pushed. Not so fast! This is why Obama is getting my vote. To me he seems like he genuinely cares about the small people in the small towns doing the smallest of jobs. Mr. Obama you get my vote this year and my respect. 

Spring Quarter

Spring quarter has come and gone with a lot of  bumps in between. Now summer quarter starts June 30th and I have not picked any classes yet. I was called a procrastinator because classes start so soon, but I refuse to take a class with out knowing who the professor is going to be. Some teachers teach for a paycheck while others actually teach because they enjoy it and want to help others. The most helpful tool I use is ratemyprofessor.com to weed out the teachers who will not positively impact my college experience. Grades are as followed:

Accounting-A

Economics-A

English-A

Math-B

Term GPA-3.722

I am happy with my grades and I know I could have gotten a lot worse, but also there is room for improvement. Earning a 4.0 would be awesome and is a goal of mine, but not this quarter.
