Dreams = Destroyed


Great little comic about the horseshit monthly plans that Rogers and Apple have release for the iPhone in Canada. Add in a 3 year contract and consider it the cherry.

Canada Day!

Happy soon to be Canada Day everybody. So weird having it on a Tuesday, really breaks up the work week at least. We are planning on going in to New Hamburg for the duck races and fireworks, and pretty sure we will stop at the beer tent too. Hopefully the weather cooperates.

Tonight we are supposed to have some drinks and I think dinner with Sean and Chris (across the road neighbors). Either stay inside and watch the recorded finale of Ultimate Fighter or sit out back on the deck and drink it up...oh yeah that's right the deck she is a done :)

Finally! It was all finished up Sunday with the last section of railing. It looks good, furniture is already on it and has been sat in.

Hope everyone does something fun with their day off tomorrow.

Cheers!

Wake up call...

What a wake up call that was last night.

Wow.

We went for our fitness assessment last night at the new gym we joined in New Hamburg. Now I sit at a desk all day, maybe get up about 25 times a day to mainly use the washroom, get a drink or just wander around. On the weekends I don't go for a bike ride or a hike or to the park to throw the football around. I am not active. Period.

We were put through a series of test to see how we stacked up. First the scale, I clocked it at a cool 188 lbs, solid. Blood pressure was good, and resting heart rate was also good. Now for the chunk, BMI fat pincher device is next up...25.5% BMI, which makes me "over weight". Now for the fun shit.

Drop and give me how ever many push ups I can do.....8

Do as many sit ups as you can in 60 seconds......26

Do a wall sit for as long as you can.....60 seconds

Work the ghetto 1980's steps for 3 minutes....done - doubling my heart rate

I was cooked, not exhausted but definitely could feel that what I had just done was not my average get up to go pee sit back down sort of routine.

But that is why I joined the gym in the first place. So now it's all about improving, and determination to be better than how I was yesterday.

Each day being a little bit better than what/who/how I was yesterday.

Wish me luck cause hellll I am going to need it.

Look Ma I'm on da TV

We meet again...

Well Blogger, it seems that I have returned, for how long? Well, lets not put a time line on it because we all know there is no chance in hell I am sticking to it.

I have recently been interested in the vast and I do mean vast array of social networking sites that are scattered all over the internet. I like most everyone in the world quickly adopted to Facebook. However the appeal quickly wore off. So now I am trying out Twitter, sort of half assly for now but I have hopes to increase my 'tweets' as time goes on.

I have pretty much abandoned my MSN Space page. Little too fluffy for me.

So let the games begin, I am back to blogger and will be posting and going to try some video posts as well. Check out my current info to check me out on Twitter, sign up yourself.

I will be posting all things referring to this Justin.

Cheers!
