| I have the summer to get back into shape. That is about 2 1/2 months. I want to look like what I look in my profile picture again. Is it possible?? No doubt that I can do it but in that short amount of time? I have my frame..... but barely. It's as if I'm starting from the ground again..... I haven't weighed myself in awhile, but school and finals week definitely made me miss a bunch of meals....and sunlight. If I were to guess, I would have to pick around the 140ish range. That's 140ish bones. That's not my 140ish 150ish power-lifting suit. My core is not what it use to be. I ran 2 miles the other day struggling. Half way through, it's as if I never ran before. I almost wasn't there mentally. 15:07 is where I stand for two miles. Need to get that down to 13ish and I'll be satisfied. If 12 swings around, I'll be happy. I'm planning on taking the before and after picture. Stay tuned? We'll see. Keep on fighting.

| Finally an update.I guess it been awhile since I've touched this. A little update on what's going in my life. Read it! It's worth it!
So I haven't lifted a weight in months. I never thought I would be able to do that. hahaha It feels good but at the same time, I kind of miss it. Priorities baby, priorities. I figured, after I get my degree I can own the gym again. I've stopped so many times before and went back and became stronger. I feel I have one chance with this school thing. Trying to make the best of this and hopefully come out on top. Since I haven't been hitting the gym, I've been trying to hit the books. As passionate as I was with training, I'm trying now to become disciplined in my studies. It's hard, but I'm taking small steps into the academic world.
I still feel confused with where I'm going. Later on in life, is about the money or is it about being happy? It's something I'm struggling with right now. If I get my degree, I'm not sure if I want to do accounting for the rest of my life. I picked this field because there's a need for accountants, the salary isn't that bad, and I know a bunch of people in the field. When I was kid and I feel like this is for every young boy out there, they either wanted to be a policeman, a pilot, or a firefighter. I've had bad experiences with the law so I'll scratch policeman off. I don't know anything about flying planes or even have any interest in flying one. Pilot, scratched. So that leaves firefighter. How awesome would it to be to save someone's life? Imagine the stories I can tell my kids, my friends, or my family. I actually would feel like I'm helping someone out, instead of filing someone's taxes or auditing some company. I like working with my hands. I don't mind the blue collar dirty work. So it about money? Or is it about going for the dream?
KCCC has started again and it's refreshing being a part of that fellowship. It's helped in my spiritual life and it's helped in my prayer life. The passion I saw every week last semester, I hope it carries over to this semester. We're such a small group, but the fire is strong. Vision conference with the school fellowship was amazing. Even though we weren't grouped together, I was happy to attend with the fellowship. 400 people praying and praising God. It was convicting and moving. My small group, Team Smokim, we were destined to be put together. All of us have different problems, different types of struggles, but when we were put together, it's as if we were made perfect for each other. 4 days I spent with these guys, and in those 4 days, I can say I have brother for eternity.
I just turned 22 recently and wow, do I feel old! You know, some people are saying "only 22?", "that's still pretty young", "what is he talking about?!?!", but the quote that's just be destined for me is, " I'm only 19, but my mind is old, when things get for real my warm heart turns cold" - Mobb Deep. It's such a great quote and people may feel like I'm young, but the experiences/happenings in my life, I feel are beyond my years. I think with age, I've become a fine young adult. Well, then just a young adult. No more stupid things! I believe my priorities are right and that they're set. I still remember stepping into elementary school for the first time and being so afraid. Sometimes I still get worried stepping into something new, but how time flies.
So after the Giants beat Green bay, I said to a few of my friends that I would cut my hair if the Giants beat the Patriots. 2 or 3 days later I retracted the statement because I firmly believed the Giants would do it. ( Ask anyone, I believed!) I retracted the statement way before the big game and it just so happens the Giants took names. I think I'm off the hook from cutting my hair because I retracted the statement way before the game. If the Giants had won and then I said I wouldn't cut my hair....... That would be wrong. I've been growing my hair for way to long. I'm legit!

| I am on a spiritual journey and I am on an academic journey. My training no longer holds me. My friends no longer hold me back. There is no victory if there are no sacrifices. I believe when I die, people will be able to see God was within me. My battle has always been within myself because I've lived on two sides. Slowly, I'm moving on the right path. I've never been a prayer warrior, never been strong with the bible, but I always knew I wasn't alone in the fight. My discipline has been my training for the last couple years. I believe I can be better, I can be stronger, I can be more explosive, but this can wait. My training is a part of my life. My faith will be my life. I am not alone, we are not alone. I keep to myself because that's the way I am, but know that I am fighting with you. I am quietly behind you, but when the battle comes, I will be standing next to you.

| It's beautiful. Maybe it's a little late for me to realize this, but I feel it's beautiful as we grow older. The change of who we were, and who we are now. For so long, I've always had my mind set on being forever young, but growing up is simply the rose that grew from concrete. It's been a struggle, but it's been the perfect struggle. Letting go of the past and striving for the future, for excellence. The road is always rough, but there are always people along the way to help you. The obstacles come, but you always push your way through them.

| Another day, Another struggle. I love challenges. It's what makes life interesting and also what keeps it moving. I've challenged my body physically throughout the years. Whether it be running, swimming, of lifting weights, they're all physical things, but to be good in these, a person needs to be strong mentally. I love the feeling of when you have nothing left, no air, no water, no more strength, but you keep moving. It's at this point where the battle is no longer physical, but a battle of will power. It's at the point of no return. This is where warriors are defined.
