3 Hours

So my personal life is eroding my sleep again. I hit the hay ’round 3am and well… I couldn’t sleep around 6am. Something very serious and important to me happened which has almost drained the life force out of me. I don’t think I am in the healthiest state of mind to be humanly functioning. I try not to share too much of my personal matters save for my health and training here, as I don’t think people would care much…

Some of you who read regularly, you may already know what’s going on…

For those who wish to help, drop me a line and maybe I can muster the strength to talk.

All I can say is that I am putting up a plea of help here. Everything is turning into a blur with my personal life and I just can’t put a hand on it. I could use encouraging words, advice, or even just a kind and listening ear right now. Be it a phone call, text message, e-mail, instant message… I could just use something to try to help me power through my day today.

I try not to ask for so much from my friends, because I fear that I am a bother… For once, I could really use some help, strength, and support. I just don’t think that I can rationally function at all currently and I am willing to take whatever help anyone is willing to provide.

CompUSA Somehow Got a Resurrection and They are Cool, Somewhat.

1 Comment

So… boredom struck me and ever since I have been addicted to Voice Command on my HTC Kaiser, I have found it somewhat interesting to have it read out my text messages while driving. Just my Bluetooth headset was good, but it didn’t quite match up to my Kaiser. I decided to check out the “NEW” CompUSA, as it seemed like they had been given new life by a managing corporation…

On walking in… I was surprised they were trying to come off more like a Best Buy, albeit smaller and more controlled. I was more interested in scoping out the Bluetooth headsets and I was a bit shocked to see unlocked GSM phones for sale. Brand new phones, completely unlocked, and unbranded. No pushy sales reps trying to cram a contract down your throat either.

It was interesting seeing the shop in a new light as their prices are far more reasonable than before. It was bad when they tried to be the guys at the top and fall, but personally, if they can keep to the new principles… they may just succeed.

Sleep is for the Strong Seeking Strength

1 Comment

With depriving my sleep, my gains from last week barely made any impact on my gains. The worst part of depriving my sleep was it effectively messed up everything about my progress. My mind was nowhere near as fresh, my frustration tolerances were much lower, and the biggest impacting factor… I was not eating properly to fuel muscle tissue repair. Over this past weekend I tried my best to kick myself back into proper sleep and eating, but it wouldn’t be until today that I would finally get enough sleep to get my body back into track.

With finally giving my body the nourishing sleep it deserves, I feel the tissue healing and much less soreness. I am glad to have gotten more sleep today rather than hit the gym and half-ass my progress or produce additional soreness. I just need to get back into high gear and then I’ll be seeing my gains again.

What’s to Come and Fun Times with GPS

Leave a comment

I have been spending some of my downtime lately with my coffee break game of choice: Final Fantasy VII – Crisis Core and sadly… I am already close to beating it, but here’s the caveat. I got to the end game part within 13 hours with Zack at L30. The combat phases are getting hard, but it has forced me to take up some of the “Missions” from the internal menu to seek leveling up. My equipment has been sparse but then again, I have been relying on in-game story drops rather than the premium mission drops. When I finish Crisis Core (probably soon) expect me to write it up. All I can say about Crisis Core is… If you haven’t played Final Fantasy VII on Playstation or PC AND watched Advent Children, Crisis Core may not have as big an impact on you. It brings one of the greatest Final Fantasy stories to a complete close. Luckily, Dirge of Cerberus for PS2 is not required “material” to play to understand Crisis Core.

Yesterday, I finally got to try out my GPS on the road but without a car mount, it was more being navigated by audio. When I got a chance to glance at my GPS, it was rather accurate. My speed was exact to my speedometer and all the road information was rather detailed. I don’t know why I didn’t get on the GPS deal sooner, ’cause it’s rather useful in pinch situations. Just I have one new problem to solve… Getting a car windshield mount, external GPS antenna, and car charger to enhance my use and benefit of GPS. Guess I’ll be saving my pennies for all that after my 8GB microSD card. 😉

A Year Older, A Year Somewhat Out of Debt

Leave a comment

So here I am sitting at the office of ZeroXR 13mg just pondering and reflecting on what happened all in the past year. It has been quite a year of battle, blood, and suffering to attain somewhat of a bitter-sweet victory. I am somewhat out of debt with debt collectors but under the charity of my family which they have now turned into my loan officers. I have been fortunate for their blessing and I have been able to curb my spending much better to try expediting payment back to them.

Developmentally, things are getting better. I basically took another semester at The School of Hard Knocks and I have been learning to break more of my nativity away in hopes of understanding life better. I am much more able now than I was years ago, which has saved my sorry tail from being kicked around. I have been trying to break my cynicism into a more manageable state, as cynicism has cost me a number of things. I have also learned to embrace optimism because I know I can break through.

I know that this year is important and I need to embrace it to really merit the benefits of it. I will push forward and hopefully I can break serious ground with regard to my dreams.

Happy birthday to me… I hope this year will bring much more joy than 2007 had.

Death Phone Acquired – Write-up will commence soon!

Leave a comment

I bid farewell to my P990i for an AT&T Tilt and it is well worth it! It was however a suicidal mistake to be up since 4am doing all the hacks and tweaks to get it all running.

I have been coping with some personal problems, so I know I haven’t been documenting my workout’s as of late, but most of them have been gut-buster sets on intermittent days. I’ll probably do a super set tonight before my super write-up.

Bad_httpd Error & Wally World for “Coffee Break” Materials

Leave a comment

Had an error from a messed up DNS file basically kick my site offline. I ended up fixing it and then heading out to Wal-Mart while Dreamhost said to give my site some time to regenerate the DNS entry. Ended up picking up some materials for my lunch kits and wandered off to the games for fun. I ended up picking up Patapon and Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core for cheap. I ended up playing the games on and off while doing sit-ups and waiting for the site to regenerate on getting home… They are rather addictive that you almost forget to take a break. Patapon is more due to a simple concept while Crisis Core being a wicked cool chain of action that’s almost non-stop.

I’ll probably post up my reviews on both when I get a chance to really delve into them.

For now… I just want to be thankful that my site is back online without much hassle like from the WordPress upgrade.

Insomnia Attack: Quick Gut-Buster Session

Leave a comment

Well, seems like I couldn’t tire my energy out… so I remembered I didn’t do my short gut-buster session, so I figured why not? It has my abs nice and sore, but nowhere near what I plan to do for tomorrow. I have quite a bit of work to do, as today being the beginning of my IV training, I lose gym time. It’ll be gut-busters for sure tomorrow. Whey protein will probably be my savior and possibly eating a well loaded lunch as well to keep me from going hungry during my IV course.

V-up’s – 2 sets, 10 reps
Jack-knife sit-ups – 2 sets, 10 reps
Crunch-ups – 2 sets, 10 reps.

Workout Log – 4/1/2008

Leave a comment

Today, it was a bit of a quick session due to the fact I was running just a tad late and had to do laundry… I managed to do a good round of sets before having to call it quits. It was a short but intense set, though it wouldn’t be until now that I can feel the pectorals, deltoids, and quadriceps hurting from the torn adipose tissue. I am sure the “punishment” will rear it’s ugly head tomorrow. It’s about 11:30pm so I may just work in a gut-buster mini-set before tomorrows festivities. Due to tomorrow’s 12 hours of work and IV training, I won’t have time to hit the gym. I plan to awake tomorrow morning with an intense round of gut-busters and then end the day with another round of gut-busters.

Squats – 40 lbs 3 sets 12 reps.
Lunges – 30 lbs 3 sets 12 reps
Seated Shoulder Press – 30 lbs 2 sets 10 reps.
Dumbbell Bench Press – 25 lbs 3 sets 12 reps
Dumbbell Fly – 25 lbs 3 sets 10 reps
