Anways, hope you all have a great christmas, I’m off to me mums place of work to have xmas dinner with them.. it’ll be different for sure..

Okay, so I follow http://www.matthewgood.org as it is my homepage, and as of late have noticed posts towards his reasoning on why he would not be signing stuff after the shows he is performing at.
ALL I can say is, KUDOS to Mr. Matthew Good.. I can only 100% agree with him on this subject. We as people are supposed to be fans to these artists who provide us with music, art, and entertainment, yet somehow I feel that we always do not act as such.
Where in the rulebook, does it state, that after a performance, or show that the artist or band Need actually sign anything at all, or even meet and greet with their fans. Being a fan myself, I think its great that they do that. However, when someone such as Matt Good explains clearly WHY he would not be doing any signings at end of shows, I can only agree with him 100%. That little ticket stub you hold in your hand, entitles you to an evening of great music, art, and maybe humour, or a bit of story telling by the artist/group you are going to see… YOU show me where on that ticket stub does it say that the artist HAS to stick around to sign things for you?
Oh that’s right it doesn’t!! Now not taking anything away from the fans who were lucky enough to get anything signed. I can only say Good Work, but had this not been signed, Feelings changed about the artist…? Upset, ? Pissed off? Sure disappointment is going to be there, but get over it..
I’ve seen and hear toooo many people who have gone to shows by Matt Good since he started touring to promote His new album Vancouver and its like oh he’s not signing stuff after shows, or they are pissed off.. and in some cases as by his website, he has lost a few fans. MY theory on those people..? They weren’t really fans to begin with!!..
Just because someone always usually signs stuff after shows, and then for a Tour decides that he would not be doing so for safety and health reasons, all of a sudden that makes him a jerk?
Give your heads a shake you supposed fans. Get over it, and realize that they have personal lives as well. They Have a Job to do, Play music, move on to the next city. Getting stuff signed is a perk for the fans. It’s a privilege, not a right.
/end rant..
So it’s been a while since my last post.
During such time, I told you that I was in the move to a New city, Here is why that didn’t happen, and why there has been no posts about what my exercises have been like.
THATS BECAUSE THERE HAVEN’T BEEN ANY , AND I HAVEN’T MOVED.
I Developed what everyone these days fears, the H1N1, flu or something rather like that. The doctor told me that it was H1N1, but to be safe about it i’m still getting my vaccine when I am safe to do so as I wasn’t tested to be told I had H1N1. In the medical system it is simply just to expensive to test everyone who has flu like symptoms, for H1N1. Therefore this being the reason why I’m going to get the vaccine.
I actually did drive to the City of Sudbury, packed and all prepared to begin work the next day when I found out that evening, that I had a very serious case of Bi-Lateral Pneumonia. This left me unable to work, and not cleared to work.
This really sucked since I did the transfer before I got laid off, and now am unemployed ( but thats a whole different story, which i won’t get into now, as I am fighting this)
Anyways, Also no workouts have been done. I have been technically sick since October 25th… I slightly getting better, I am over the H1N1, and have been for some time now, since 10.31.2009, or 11.01.2009. But as usual I had pneumonia which I didn’t know about. The doctor who checked me during the week i was really sick might have missed it based on my case of H1N1.
When I am back to 100% better, More postings about workouts will be up, I’ll probably do a few of them in Salt Lake City at http://www.gymjones.com with my brother, since that is where he works, and I’m going to visit him and his wife, and my nephew..!!
That being said… The H1N1 Flu Vaccine… GO GET IT, if you can that is. I’m saying this, because I have had the flu, and it sucks. You can end up hospitalized or even worse. Do your research if you are worried about taking this flu shot. Don’t let other people influence you.. Go talk to your doctor about it. Find out the statistics of people who have had problems with this vaccine. You’ll be surprised to know that there are VERY VERY FEW people who have had issues. I know people who have gotten it, and aside from a sore arm, GO GET IT!! In the end, its really just a flu shot with some added stuff to help protect you.
For now that is all i have to say..
OH go pick up Jason Mraz’s Beautiful Mess – Live On Earth… It is really a great Live album for those looking for some grooves, to chill out, dance, and just have a great time with !! 
I’ll be moving in a week or so… Moving to a new city, starting over anew.. I’ll update as I can…
I’d Like to start out first by saying, R.I.P , to the late Patrick Swayze. Regards to his family during this time..! He was a great actor and will defiitely be missed.!!!
Now for Tonights workout, :
Warm-up with Squats, Sit-ups, Push-ups ( I did 5 of each)
Warm Up : Turkish Getups (3 per arm @ 25#)
Then:
8x 20-sec work, 10-sec rest Squat
8x 20-sec work, 10-sec rest Push-up
8x 20-sec work, 10-sec rest Sit-up
8x 20-sec work, 10-sec rest Burpee
Rest 1 minute between 4-minute blocks
Cool down (for real)
I had a hard time getting in the burpee’s I got the first minute down, and could no longer lift myself to do proper form.. I should have been able to do this… but this was kinda tough.. so I finished by doing 2 TGU’s per arm at 25#, then i had to do some running around so that would be my cool down, had to go to wal-mart, so i kept active. More Cardio work will be needed if im going to be able to do these better.. But i felt pretty wrecked after this.
p.s. Is anyone hiring.?! I need a change in career..! Anyways.. to all those who look at me in the gym when im doing a workout your not used to seeing, Just say hello and ask me what im doing and i’ll gladly fill you in.. !
Even better if your a woman..!!
I’ll post another photo maybe tonight after Wrestling, or maybe tomorrow night..!

Sorry for the non-postings.. Havent been around much at home, and when I am , ITs Rockband beatles, or ive been doing other things.. !
I”ll post the rest of my work-outs tomorrow that I have done, and my insights.. To those of you following.. Thank you.. to those who will never read this..?! PLease start!!
For now, i’ll leave you with a thought… :” What would you do for a klondike Bar?”
So its real early for me… 9:15… I’m going back for another 25 mins of sleep before work enjoy the photo… It is of China, and one of the many drinking nights on middle street.
So I had a really Long Post, ready to roll, and I Bailed on it.. Why..?! It was too disjointed.. Let me first say.. NO workout this evening.. Rest day.. I needed a rest and it was good. Back to the grind tomorrow!!
I am going to be uploading the Photos page tonight after this I hope, and post a photo…
And as a partial Rant… I am getting really annoying with very impatient people. I was in a MACS convenience store, and the guy is obviously backed up and has quite a queue backing up. Just a case of too many people coming in the store at once.. I am in line, and this woman behind me sighs and is like ” are you kidding me, like hurry up” I almost turned to her and said.. He’s trying to do the best he can… !!
She was in a hurry so much that she couldnt wait to get her stuff on the counter, not seeming to care if anyone else had stuff up there.. I think she tried making a comment to me about him, to which i’ll have no part in, mainly because he is a clerk in a store. He was an older clerk, and prolly just wants to make a few bucks… Give the guy a break. Not all of us know where the Exact Correct Pack of Cigarettes area behind the counter now that they are hidden…
Anyways. I will post a workout again tomorrow, and let you know how it goes..! Untill then.. Enjoy the photo…

Tonight’s workout : 09/02/2009
“One Push Press Every 30seconds for 50 minutes (i.e. 100x total Push Presses) Use 2 x 25# DB. Push till full lock out pause and lower. Be strict with form.”
Noteing, that I was not quite sure if i was to keep the weight rested at my side for the 30 seconds or so that I was resting, and also my right hand having difficulty as i feel strain in my fingers, I put the weight down at every 2 min interval for that 30 second rest then back up on the horse we went..(Literally Not Physically) !
I felt this workout was more a Shoulder workout for the most part. While it is do-able, If i am to keep the weights by my side without dropping them. I might consider a lower weight.. The goal for today was Not to punish ones’-self but to attain proper form. Without proper form, there is nothing.!
Soon, there will be Photo page with photo uploads, and A regular page for my regular blogging should It strike me..! But for now i’ll say this.. Pizza Pizza needs to keep quiet when they mess up an order for a customer who is IN Store… and looks right at me when he says.. Think he’ll notice…! To which I DID notice… but i was tired. wanted to go home, and did not want to wait any longer…
On a happier Note,… No more Paying the Day Charge at goodlife..! thats 15.00$ I’ll get to spend elsewhere..! ( the most likliest of places being Matthew Goods New Album) ! !
