blogging....

blogging is a wonderful thing. i just think of something cool and put it on here. i made a protein shake yesterday that tasted like a milkshake. vanilla protein powder, natural peanut butter, 1 cup chocolate milk, banana. eating healthy is a wonderful thing. it is even more wonderful when you can eat healthy and it taste wonderful. i've been thinking a lot about being active and my competitive nature lately. i came down wrong on my knee playing football on spring break. i don't think that there is anything drastically wrong. my knee never swelled, changed color, or bruised. it just doesn't feel 100%. i've been icing it like a mad man and doing light exercise to try and let it heal. being as active as i am, i'm not able to do cross fit on my hurt knee. that hurts my spirit a little bit. cross fit is a fitness program where you compete against the clock, previous work history, and others around the world. plus it takes every bit of gusto you have to get through it. i love doing cross fit. it is also an outlet for my competitive spirit. since i have been hurt, i haven't let myself get down. i equate this time to down times in life. you just have to keep livin. of course i would like to be doing cross fit. i would love to not be hurt right now. i don't worry about things i can't change. life is so short, yet life is so long. there are so many opportunities to enjoy the things you love, but you have to take advantage of those opportunities when they present themselves. whenever i get in situations like this i think about things that i am not able to do when i am doing cross fit. instead of moping that i can't cross fit, i do the other things i enjoy doing. i can't wait to run again, play basketball, and maybe start jui-jitsu. next time you pass a fast food restaurant at noon, look and see how many people are in line. that will prove to you what kind of shape america is in.

i want to take a minute to talk about barack obama. barack's campaign has been about change. he doesn't talk about what kind of change, he just says change. his resume' of change in his political career is very slim. barack causes me to lose some sleep at night. i'm freaked out that someone can become so popular by saying one word, "change." not to mention his personal ties. he has been linked with farakahn, weathermen bomber william ayers, and of course his pastor. someone that has been linked to so many sketchy people should not be trusted. you don't just happen to be acquainted with so many controversial people. if you are linked with 3 sketchy people, that makes you sketchy. american people need to wake up and see things the way they truly are. i believe that this is a sad thing. it seems that more and more every day you meet more people. instead of just getting to know them, you have to do recon and put them under a microscope. you have to prove that they can be trusted and that they are going to be mature and responsible. i wish people could be real and keep good intent in everything. until next time...
