My Life Has Changed Completely.. (For The Better!!)

Not many of you know me, many none of you. So, let me start by saying, I'm so happy to be alive today. I have found a path, maybe a few, and I feel I am directing myself towards true happiness.

At this moment I have a paused workout on my other screen and had the urge to just get a quick note typed down while I'm rehydrating. It's pretty interesting to see what has changed in the last three months since I started a 16 week IsaBody challenge (Message me if you want to start a healthier life [;  ) And I have to say, I have been making up excuses about my health for a long time. When I first started this I though, ok, this is the one, let's give it my all. And I'm happy to honestly say I have been for the most part! There have of course been highs and lows, but the highs have greatly tipped the scale. Natural endorphins! There's no better thing. Seeing yourself get stronger... There's no real better feeling than that =]

I have about two weeks exactly left till the end of my challenge, and I plan to make the most out of every single day of it! NO MORE EXCUSES! Anyone reading this who is waiting for a wake up call, seriously man, this is it. Today really is the day. DO IT. You will thank yourself for it.

And here I am again after finishing my workout and having my amazing little shake friend, YUM! Super pumped, so much to get done tonight! I feel like my life has been on the fast track for the last three months and it has no plan on slowing down! Super exciting, I can't wait to see what happens! 

I have been completely focusing on my health, both physical and mental, lately. Strength is the goal, Life is the reason. I want to experience it all, I don't want any physical limitations to hold me back. I want to have the ability to focus on any goal and get it done. First and foremost, physical strength. Second, mental willpower. (These kind of go hand in hand though so possible tie for first..) Third, my vocal abilities, beat mastery (dancing included in that statement) and songwriting skills. (News to you!?). This has become so important to me. Fourth, Of course overall mental fucking kickass-ness. I have lots of computron books to read, so little time. Love the Linux. 

Coffee coffee, I need more coffee and a bit of a shower. Time to head off. I should post more, so many drafts. Do you people like cooking? What kinda things? =] 

Parting note:: I just realized I had two new Google+ friends from my town, Hello friends! 

See you on the dark side..

Cirque Dreams: Holidaze... LIVE!

Now that it's been over a month since I've been over a month since going to Holidaze, I feel a bit late getting my review/ enjoyment post about it out. I wasn't planning on attending this amazing show, but after seeing a post at work where nine ladies were looking for a tenth for their ticket bundle. Trying to get out of my shell a bit more this year, I decided this would be a good opportunity to meet and greet some people I've been working with over the last few years.

Starting with a fantastic dinner at a nice restaurant, we carpooled over and got some snacks for the beginning of the show. Taking our assigned seats, and getting settled seconds before the lights went down, it started with some amazing gymnasts and two very talented aerial acrobatics (the ladies pictured below). Of course taking photos was not allowed in the theatre, mental notes are nonetheless amazing.

There were so many performers from all over the world. If ever given the opportunity. I highly suggest seeing any Cirque live show. Absolutely a work of art and masterfully constructed. The holiday theme was entirely enjoyable, and even involved a bit of audience participation.

Above are some jump roping reindeers; extremely impressive. And below, are some very amazing roller skating gravity showoffs =]

I will be making a point to seek these shows out in the future. Seeing feats of the human body in such ways is why I workout as often as I can, and am working on implementing it further into my daily life. FIVE out of FIVE. ;]

None of the photos/videos on this page are mine, of course, see below.

Life Needs To Slow Down!

Holy crap, this month has blew by, barely enough time to breath. At least, breathing has become easier for my little baby lungs, 6 WEEKS (and some change), NO CIGARETTES!!!! I am so happy to be able to say that now. I told my family at Thanksgiving when I was one day away from a month, and I can say I've never seen my mother so happy. She comes from a smoking-for-decades family, all of her sisters smoked and both parents, so for her child who's been on and off smoking cigs since age 15, this is a major thing. Since starting smoking, I've tried to quit dozens of times, but everytime, I would let some stupid, unavoidable life shit get me back into the mental state that smoking isn't the worst thing in my life, thus making it okay. WELL, NOT ANYMORE.

 I don't know if I can say much has changed recently aside from moving and changing my home life situation, but more just a general appreciation for myself. I'm not unhealthy, but I can't truthfully say I feel fit. I can't run (although I am looking to change that now that my lungs aren't exploding), I'm not very athletic, but I've at least just gone by the pants rule for my whole life: If they get tight, get up and move. I am a huge jumper lolz I do plan on trying out a new workout (borrowed from a friend) I tried three of the workouts so far, KICKED MY ASS! Which is always a good thing =]

I really do have a problem just sitting down and typing, my steam of consciousness is usually too ALL OVER THE PLACE. And I am sorry for my use of caps, but... who really cares? Aside from the grammar police..

Well, I have been reading Midwinterblood, almost done, and I have to say it is fantastic. Wonderful, and by coincidence I recently encountered the main plant of the story:: The Dragon Orchid

Such a gorgeous creation. I definitely would like one of my own soon (one of my best friends has billions of rare/tropical plants).

I've always considered myself a psychedelic kitty, a crazed child of the night. Someone who... for better or worse, is not the average kat.

Lately I find myself trying to figure out what to do next. How to go from nowhere, to someplace I might actually enjoy being. I think, "Do I need to move? Do I need a new job? A new life?" I'd rather not go through all the hassle.. Happiness shouldn't be about any of that.

Well now, here we are again. What should I do with my days? At this moment, I'm watching anime (Attack On Titan) while thinking about how I should get myself in order.

Recently I've been trying to socialize with groups of people, mainly geeky ladies. Trying to fill my time with motivating people, new ideas, and interesting concepts. It's definitely been getting me off my ass a bit more. Reading new books, going to fun places I've overlooked in the years I've been in this town, and trying new art projects. This has helped get me psyched up for the future and that I haven't experienced anything. Also, Geeks!

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Throughout this relationship (yea, maybe I did go there), I hope to explore many a activity, I'll share some movie and book suggestions, even send you links to spectacular music, blah blah blah I'm sure you can imagine the rest... Actually I'm sure you cannot, Which is why you'll be back. 

See You Space Cowboy..
