I feel recharged and re-energized y’all. I have been working out a lot more recently. Plus I have made it to the basketball courts every day for the last few days…This fitness shit is starting to feel pretty damn good. I can almost feel my strength, my mojo, and my quality of life increasing as I become more active.
I was letting stress drain me of my energy, but I looked in the mirror on Saturday ans said “Fuck that.” I refuse to let negative shit take a toll on my physically. I ended up hitting the weights on Saturday…Inspired by the fact that my biceps, which used to be like pythons, had become garter snakes, I found all the motivation I needed.
Then Sunday, I went to play basketball with my friend Daniel. I was able to get to the basket and do what I wanted, but I couldn’t make a shot to save my life. It was really frustrating. So as a result, I ended up taking my behind back to the court Monday. I was able to make my shots that day, and I even got started talking shit to one of my own teammates after his bum ass questioned a jumper that I took. He took exception to me making fun of him for letting a guy named “Toot” bust his ass out there. Then I went on to shut my man down and score twice as much as he did. You know it’s bad when you’re more motivated to show up your teammate than to win…But fuck it. I did both, so I guess all is well with the world.
I think I jammed my big toe, cause it was sore this morning…but it’s feeling a little better now. Either way…NO PAIN, NO GAIN BABY!!! I’m gonna be back in 100% peak condition in about a month or two. Look out world!
The physical re-invigoration is also affecting me professionally. I have been extra motivated to create art and write new stuff since I started getting myself active again. I feel like the Hustleman of old. The Hustleman who was always on top of his game. The Hustleman that could sell Freddy Krueger a dream. The Hustleman that has more juice than Minute Maid. The Hustleman with more pull than the elastic on Wilford Brimley’s tightey whiteys.
Ok. Sorry for bringing up the image of Wilford Brimley in briefs. That was just disgusting.
You know what I mean, though. I’m feeling good, dammit. This could be the start of something great.
Even Wilford thinks so.
Let me come to DC and find out that my 5’4 little ass could beat you in ball. I’ve got game, baby! LOL…
Glad you’ve got the mojo back. And I hear you about working out…once you start working out all the time, it’s like CRACK. You become addicted…
I just started working out again too… You’re right it feels great! Glad you’re not letting stress get to ya, it’s so easy to do!
Oh and what happened? U know what I’m talking about….
poor babies….
i really don’t like u selling freddy a dream…that fool tormented me from age 7 to 11!
but, yes, endorphins are the shyt. i’ve been getting mine by night swims. they are awesome and make you sleep like a baby.
LOL
What is up with you and Wilford Brimley? Are you that big a Cocoon fan? Maybe oatmeal? Life insurance?
*yay* for you! I’ve started back working out too. I’ve done it off and on sporaticly over the last coupla years but I haven’t been on a regular routine since 02. Fells good! Anywho, post some pics, man!
Now really Leon! What would make you think we wanted to see a shirtless Wilford?? Damned picture scortched my retinas!
@ Coley, my bad. I started talking to my sister’s friend and forgot. I’m sorry :(
@ Miss Rei, bring it on woman!!!
@ Jamila, night swims sound fun
@ Hassan, I don’t know…Wilford is just funny to me for some reason. He looks like he’s all nice, but could have a really mean streak and get pissed off easily LOL. Besides, he’s the perfect spokesman for oatmeal…He looks like he drinks that shit with a thermos LOL
@ Kajuana, sorry for the traumatic visual. It was meant to be funny LOL
Oh yeah @ The Kid, I’ll post some pics if you do…with your pretty self ;)
i started my own little work out thing myself…it does feel great and the results physically are well worth it.
oh yea keep bustin ass on the court!
Wilford Brimley trivia: Do you remember the show he played on a long while back with Shannon Daughtery(sp) and Deidre Hall? I think I must be the only one who still remembers that show! :)
OMG! I am so through with you and that pic of Wilford! Too funny. Ok…going back to finish reading. Ofcourse, I had to scroll down and look for pics first. LOL
Ok. It is amazing how extra activity, i.e. exercise or whatever, gives you so much more energy. I strongly believe that shit. Well, I don’t have to say I believe it. I know this shit to be true. It also increases my “appetite for love. Cuz me so horny.” Ha! I kill me!
” More juice than Minute Maid ” LMAO!!!! I can’t wait to see you grow:)
LMAO… I don’t know why you selling Freddy Kreuger a dream tickled me. =)
Glad to hear you’re back on track. I need to get to a gym my damn self… =) You’ve inspired me.
I don’t know, but all I could think of when I read the title was the scene in Carlit’s way when he’s telling the Judge off…as you can see, I watch waaaaay too much television. Now, I’mma get to it and actually READ the post…ha ha ha
