Violent point

At what point does your anger turn violent? What is your trigger? Is it frustration, disrespect, ignorance or is it something else that triggers our violent point. I know that my hot button is disrespect and threats against my family. People can threaten me all day but you threaten my wife or kids I hope you brought your gloves.

I watched a seen unfold in front of me today that had me wondering about this. I seen a dad and son fighting in the park at around 1pm. The dad was around 45 years old and the boy looked 17, both were bigger than me, and I was in the ghetto. I of course did the white boy in the ghetto thing, and called the cops to tell them about it. It left me thing what lead to the point of a father and son getting out of the car and starting to go at it in the park. Did dad have to leave work and come pick up his son from school for drugs, fighting, or something. I guess with the way some young adults are today I could see you losing it.

I have not been on many physical fights but they all started with disrespect.

What is your "Violent Point"? What would trigger you to lose control, and turn anger into a physical fight?

7 Years

Today my amazing wife and I have been married for 7 years. Each day my love for her grows deeper and stronger. We have been through a lot together, and I know I couldn't of done it without her. I'm not sure what the next step in our life is, but I know that together we can make through anything. I'm a very lucky man!!!

Love you babe!!!!

Hard work does pay off!!!

I have seen it in many situations lately that hard work is paying off in the work place. Many company's are getting ride of, or demoting there dead weight and keeping the people that are worth keeping. The people that work hard are getting the opportunities they deserve.

This has not always been the case in the work place but it seem to be the new norm.

Fantasy football help

Looking for some help on my Fantasy football draft on Friday night. I love the game and watch it every week but don't know much about the players. Any suggestions would be great. Just give me your top players for each position and what team they are on. I only lose $5 if I don't win and only gain like $40 or $50 if I win. Next year I would like to up the $ but I just want to get a feel for it all.

News???

I can't stand to watch the news these days. I have next to no tolerance for idiots that don't deserve 30 minutes of my day to give me 2 minutes of valuable information. The Internet is where I get my news. I get better, and more information, in less time then I ever would watching the idiots on my local news stations. I think that one day the 5, 6 and 10 o'clock news will be as popular as the news paper is today. Some people will still watch it. Most will not be retired, and enjoy getting better news, faster.

Then why bother.

I have a very hard time understanding people that don't have passion or drive to be the best. In every job, I have ever had, I have always tried to do my best and be an outstanding employee. That's just how I operate. I have always taken ownership of what I do, and want to be the best at whatever I do. If I didn't try my best, I don't know why I would bother. A half ass job is not an option in my world.

Almost everyday I see a person working hard at hardly working. If they used the effort they put into not working, to work, they would be really good employees. Instead they are that guy. You know the guy that some how always gets out of things. You know every excuse he has is BS and he is just working the system.

I'm not saying I work with people like this, I'm just saying I see it almost every day.

I wish I could pause my life.

There is never enough time in the day. In my new job I have traded exhaustion for more sleep, but it has taken time out of my day. I get to sleep in now but I work much later. I get home, blink, and my day is over. I have cut back on things like my time on the computer to make sure I spend the same amount of time with my family. This has led to the blog suffering and not having a lot of posts. Sorry for the lack of updates but I have to priorities. I'm going to make it a ritual to blog at least 2 times a week. It might be on Saturday and Sunday but I figure that's better then I have been doing.

The Abs Diet update

The diet has been going great. It's not too hard and I have been doing pretty good at it so far. The one major thing about the diet is the results I have gotten after 2 weeks. After 2 weeks I'm down to 207 pounds from 213 and a BF% of 31.8%. That is down from 37.5% and so that is very good. The diet is not about working out really hard or anything like that. It is just about know what is in, what goes into your mouth. Staying away from the crap the body shouldn't have in it. I feel better and look better then I have in a very long time. I'm starting to learn the difference between being skinny and being health. If you are skinny it doesn't mean you are health.

I have also learned that everybody not just the fast food industry is trying to kill us from the inside. Get educated and start to read labels. It will scare the crap out of you.

Quick week

I'm coming to the conclusion that when you work longer hours, your week goes by very quickly. The new job is taking some adjusting and learning. Hoping not to work 12 and 15 hour days next week. It has not only taken a toll on me but the family is not a fan either.

The BB curve

My fat fingers have been trying to use my new Blackberry Curve. I have always updated my twitter by text with my enV with a very large keyboard. The new curve has much smaller buttons and I have been sending out some posts that have been a little confusing. I'm sure I will get used to it but please bear with me and my learning curve.

The Abs Diet

The wife was reading a book on our vacation called the Abs Diet. It is more of a meal plan then a diet. You have to plan ahead everyday and eat good food the right way. We will be starting the diet today and I will notify you of my weekly progress over the next week.

My weight is 213 and my BF% is 37.5%. This is all bad

My goal weight is 190 and to have a BF% around 25% so I have some work to do.

My mental muscles

Tomorrow I will be starting a new position that will involve me learning how to work more with my brain then my back. The new position will involve little physical effort, but lots of mental work. I'm not sure how I will adjust but I will keep you updated. I have learned in the past that physical work, is much easier then mental work. I will be flexing my mental muscles, and I think they might be pretty weak.

New position come Monday

I have been promoted to the sales department at my work. I will be running sales routes of salesman that are on vacation. The new job has some perks like a blackberry and a company vehicle that I get to take home. I didn't technically receive a pay raise, but $4o less a week in gas will be nice. Not to mention oil changes and wear and tear on my Jeep. I will be giving updates over the next couple of weeks on how it is going.

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ AND VOTE!!!

Please take one minute of your time to vote for this dog. http://www.brickfish.com/Pages/PhotosAlbums/PhotoView.aspx?qsi=16078937

If they win the contest that will pay for the dogs food for the remainder of it's life.

The dog goes with people to court (mostly young kids) when they have to testify. The court has another dog named sam. They have so many requests they needed another.

A story about an 8 year old girl that had to testify against her rapist and long story short she wasn't handling it very well until she met sam (the dog) who got to go with her. She went from clinging to every fixed object in the court house begging not to go in the room to pointing at the guy saying he did it! It has made a big impact.

All of the dogs are rescued from a shelter as well.
