I broke out of my comfort zone in two big ways this weekend; both involving drumming. When it comes to personal challenges, those involving my creative efforts are the most difficult to engage. A failure at something coming from creativity is a personal one, to me. However, I don’t feel that I lost in either… Continue reading Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone

Gym Jones – The Discipline Behind “300”
It’s better to die on your feet than live on your knees. The men of Zack Snyder’s “300” trained 10-12 hours a day, five days a week, for four months – all while eating barely enough to cover their needs and recovery. It was at the invitation-only fitness center in Utah, Gym Jones, where strength… Continue reading Gym Jones – The Discipline Behind “300”
Walking Tall at L.A. Fitness
Wow! Amy and I worked L.A. Fitness’ grand opening in East Point today (south side Atlanta). She painted faces for children for 7 freakin’ hours and I walked on stilts for 5. The gig itself wasn’t too bad. Just walk and provide ambience to the visitors and members alike. People got a real kick out… Continue reading Walking Tall at L.A. Fitness
Today’s Memory Lapse
ARRRRGGHHH!!! I’ve done it again, only this time it’s worse! I left my clothes at home having left early for work to workout. It wasn’t a simple shirt this time, however. It’s nearly the entire enchilada. I did manage to bring fresh under garments. I also left my wallet in my car, having car-pooled with… Continue reading Today’s Memory Lapse
Old Navy Daily Apparel
Today was the second day (in a row) in which I drove to work to workout and realized afterwards that I had forgotten to bring a shirt to change into. You might imagine this to be quite embarrassing, though I did remeber to bring an undershirt. So I wear my undershirt to Old Navy, once… Continue reading Old Navy Daily Apparel
Big Potatoes, Little Lettuce
Arrrrgh! Today’s woot[!] is a tough one to pass up. Fortunately for me, it was sold out by 7:00am this morning – a time in which I was at the gym. If you don’t keep up with the daily items, you really should. It’s a great way to blow some cash that you probably don’t… Continue reading Big Potatoes, Little Lettuce
Blue Nails
I was supposed to have gone to the gay pride parade in Atlanta to shoot a video for one of the food vendors. A friend asked me to come make a commercial for him while he was there, though we never got our plan straightened out in time. I has told several people at work… Continue reading Blue Nails
MadLib Biographies
My friend, Jason D., sent me a chain-letter to fill out and send to a million people for good luck or something. I am against such things, but I like Jason and wish to at least better his luck. Instead of emailing everyone with my MadLib biography, I chose to post it here on my… Continue reading MadLib Biographies
Industrial Waste
My friend, Sean, writes today about the sludge they call coffee at his office. From some previous posts, you may recognize me as a connoisseur of sorts in the coffee realm. I loathe nasty coffee because it’s such a bad example to the bean. The worst ever was the muddy water vending machine at a… Continue reading Industrial Waste
Europe Unveils the Biggest SUV Ever
A new passenger jet, the SkyPig (a.k.a. Airbus A380), was debuted recently to the excitement of European engineers and pimps. The double-decker airliner can seat 555 passengers in all ranges of comfortable seating and has boogers bigger than the Boeing 747 (not really, though it does has a huge, bulbous nose-cone). There are ludicrous plans… Continue reading Europe Unveils the Biggest SUV Ever
