I went to a musical family reunion last night. At one point there was 25 musicians playing at once. Two trumpets, two trombones, two flutes even, I don't even want to list it all. It was nuts and fun. But that's not the point of this. My band was basically born out of this musician lineage, and so some of the people have known me forever. The cats I haven't seen for awhile all commented on how I look better "then I have in my entire life". That felt really great because some of them said, "man being a musician taking care of themselves is a rare thing." Anyways what I wanted to write about was when they asked me what I did and I responded, "eat right and workout." They all looked at me like I was lying to them. It can't be that simple, I must of found the fountain of youth and drank from the holy grail or something. Nope, eat right and workout, that's it.
As for our homework assignment I've figured it out. I actually didn't want to go to a gym, just had no interest in it. I'm really about going to this mma style gym where it's athletic and fun, but a homework assignment must be done. I'm meeting up with a friend of mine that goes to a gym, but he goes to climb their wall. Rock climbing has always seemed awesome to me. It's like a chess match climbing up those walls, and any sport that involves the mind like that is enticing to me. I'll walk around and see what the gym is all about but then I'll get to the wall and maybe find a new permanent activity.
I just had an egg explode while I was cooking it hard boiled style- weird.
Oh yeah, thanks for all the chest hair suggestions. I don't think I would have ever gone through with it in the first place. With this mop on top of my head I would look hilarious without chest hair, as if I were photoshopped or something.
Musician families are so cool--the family that jams together, laughs together. And a great approach to the gym. A possible new favorite activity, how cool. Perhaps I should visit the MMA-style gym here that a few friends go to rather than the abundant single-scene ones.
ReplyDeleterock climbing = FUN. very mentally and physically challenging. i think you'd love it!
ReplyDeletenever heard of an MMA gym before -- sounds like fun. I used to use a lateral wall at a local rec center with a friend and it's a blast, be sure to remember to keep the weight on your legs as much as possible. Stiff forearms are a serious drag.
ReplyDeleteGreat that people are noticing and appreciating the changes. Definitely one of them will quietly start making changes in their own life, inspired by you!
