ok, ok , ok.....
I know I haven't been on here in a while.
Ok, maybe too long.
If anyone has wondered what I'm up to and haven't checked my webblog, don't bother. Long story short, a few months ago I discovered a site called Suicide Girls. Well, I decided to sign up a couple of weeks ago and have been addicted. It's a community unlike any other I have ever seen, if you're into that type of stuff that they have. They market themselves as kinda a porn site, but it is SOOOO much more than that. I've met a lot of great people. It's motivated me to get back into music. I have been going to a few local band shows lately, and I love it. I don't know if I can explain it.
Now, don't get me wrong, I love DB.com too. This is the greatest motivational tool for me to get my arse in gear when I need that motivation. I love the community aspect of this site, but I needed something different. I was originally looking for a dating site, and when I saw the "hookup" portion of the SG site, I thought that was what it was. But it's not. It's more of a place to build friendships, much like this place And don't think I haven't been keeping tabs on this site, because I do subscribe to the RSS feed.
I do stil keep a journal, but offline. It's too hard for me right now to copy everything. My problem is that i am so stressed out at work, that being on SG helps me not be stressed out and vent my feelings. My webblog never really did it for me. I never got instant feedback. And, I think it was getting out of control. I get so caught up with being on SG, that by the time I work out, it's almost 10 or 11PM, then I eat something quick and sleep for 4 or 5 hours.
I wish I could say my eating habits have been on track. After the contest I kind of went on a binge. Long story short, I was supposed to do some stuff on my vacation that following week, but things never worked out. My grandfather ended up going into the hospital on July 4th and it kinda made my whole family's life chaotic. He's home now, and thankfully he is fine. The vacation week I took from work was supposed to be a de-stressing period, but with crap I was going through, it was more stressful. I never worked out that whole week. Which threw me into more of a depression than before. So I worked out for 2 weeks, and then last week I didn't because I was stupid the weekend before and pulled an all nighter that lasted 36 hours. Yeah. When I was 20 I could do that with no problem. I felt old last week. I was dogged all week. Not to mention I did something screwy with my right trap last week trying to get a chari down for a customer at work. My trap feels better thsi week, and I'm a finally working out again.
I will say that I still think I can gain 10lbs of LBM by October. I'm afraid of this because i'll probably be around 245 lbs if I do that. I've never been that heavy, and I just had to buy new pants because I literally split the seem in my jeans down the middle getting in my truck. And my truck is a puny Ford Ranger, not a huge distance off the ground. LOL.
So, I just wanted to let everyone know that I am still around. You can add me to your buddylists on AIM, Yahoo, MSN, or ICQ (just look in my profile). You can also check out my *new* blog on SG.com HERE. Trial and Error will still be up for a bit, but I think I'm going to kill it or let it die.
Oh, and I'm getting a new tattoo on 8/14!
C-YA!
Oh yeah, and for some reason, lately I've been getting customers (some who have known me before and some haven't) calling me "Big" MIke. Of course, that could be a bad thing too, since my supervisor (who is also one of my good friends) was comparing her pregnant stomach to my stomach. She's due in October.

man, thanks ya'll for the encouragement!
Unfortunately, the powers that be have decided that my family needs more trouble lately. Now my dad is the one with the health issues. He had a herniated disc in his back, and had surgery for it about 2 weeks ago. He's been out of work for a month, and now the doc is saying at least 2 more months out, if he can return at all. It has been a very trying time for my family, but I think we are getting through it ok. I just need to move out of my parents' house if things are going to stay like this. This is utterly unbearable to stay here. But I don't want to air out my inner problems with my family here and now.
This is my new tattoo:
This was taken a day after I got it done, and for the most part, it still looks the same. My arm looks fat in that pic, but the wings extend around my shoulder, and it looks really cool. I've got some ideas to add to it at a much later time.
I just finally started back to working out this week. 2-day splits. Back/Chest/Shoulders/Traps and Legs/Arms. So far it's working out great. I feel great being back to working out, and my strength surprisingly has not diminished as much as I thought it would. I looked in my journal in horror as I saw that I have not worked my legs in 2 months, and my upper body in iover a month. I'm still pretty much around the same weight (232 lbs), but I don't know about the bodyfat. I am concentrating on arm size and thickness for right now. I'd like to add at least an inch to my arms. I think it's enttrely possible. Maybe not within 2 months, but definitely in 6 months. I still think I can add 10lbs of muscle by October, maybe have to stretch the goal date to the end of October. We'll see.
I'll try posting workouts on here if possible, probably weekly.
Man, I need to win the lotto of life so bad. All I've had for at least 10 years is bad and mediocre luck. Nothing amazing like a new job or a girlfriend. The later can wait, the first one can't.

Yes, I'm still alive.....no I haven't been working out.....
about a month and a half ago my old "boss" (his wife is my "boss" now) called from his new job and said they had some positions open for part time work. This is a new department store that just opened up. I got an interview on the spot and was told I would be temporary, with the posibility for permanent part-time. So I have been working at my current job and this new job. The first three weeks before the store opened, I put in a total of around 240 hours of work with one day off during that time between both jobs. Needless to say, I didn't get to start working out like I wanted. I'm now working about 60-70 hours a week between both jobs. This week I'm down to 50 hours because of a glitch in the new store's scheduling.
But, I'm not doing any old job at this new place. I unload trucks with a couple of other guys. They were getting 6 trucks a week before they opened. Then they went to 2 trucks a week (which is where we are now). I just got news tonight they are going back to 6 trucks a week. Which means I'll be working 70 hours a week between both places, maybe even close to 90 if needed.
So besides not being able to work out (as much as I want to, I need to sleep sometime!), every bad habit that I broke a year and a half ago when I started working out has come back. I eat nothing but fast food now, and am lucky to get 3 meals a day in. Well, I at least try and keep my lunches at my current job a little "healthy". And I've been under entirely too much stress at my current job, with no way to get rid of it because I can't work out, I started smoking again.
I'm trying to get my schedule down to 60 hours a week so I can at least do a 2 day split once a week and let some of that frustration out and quit smoking again.
I feel like crap, but I need the money. I'm not greedy, but if I have a chance to make more money and make my life easier by paying credit cards and crap off, I'm gonna do it. I'll tell ya though, I was not a nice person when I was working those 80 hour work weeks. All I do now is work, sleep a little, and eat even less. I guess the good news is that since taking on this new job, I lost 10 lbs in those 3 weeks. It probably would have been more if I would stop drinking Mountain Dew and drink more water. It's probably all muscle that I lost too...LOL. Although, I do have a nickname of "muscles" by this one guy at my new job.
