P90X

I feel I should dedicate a blog to this. While flying from NY to Cali this past May, we (my girlfriend and I) wathced tv on the moniters built into the back of the seats of the plane to bide our time. After realizing that even with a touchscreen option and a plethera of channels to peruse, there was nothing on. Anything good had to be purchased and, well, fuck that. So I decided to load up the infomercials and that's when I saw it, the P90X system. I was instantly hooked on the idea of getting it so, 3 days later, after I recovered from getting insanely sick while flying on the germ infested prison cell known as Delta, I googled it. Well, the desire went away when the price came onto the screen, but last week i was given it by Chi's brother. Totally cool of him! So I start my foray into fitness again. I sent in a letter to cancel my gym membership (yes, LA Fitness makes you send in a letter of resignation from working out, I swear to Christ they're like WalMart) and yesterday had my first P90X workout. I did Chest and Back in the afternoon and Ab Ripper X after I finished teaching Taekwon Do. I thought I was going to die doing the first bit (I love that feeling) I was completely dizzy and on the verge of throwing up, just the way a workout should be. I figure for this blog I'll post my results and/or workout results. So for yesterday, here it is;
38 standard pushups
6 wide grip pull-ups
19 military pushups
6 reverse grip pull-ups
20 wide pushups
5 front grip close pull-ups
17 decline pushups
15 heavy pants
15 diamond pushups

16 right hand
18 left hand

What's New (?)

The question mark is in parenthesis because while I'm asking you what is new I am also painfully aware that as the writer of this blog I am also the only reader. So here's the update for me to me by me me me. I scoff at you, yes you who walks around without a care in the world, unaware that I used to be able to do that without worry myself. Now I am uninsured and life will be back to Advil and pain when I walk, sit, lay down, etc. You see, now that I am a college graduate, I am fucked. I can't get a job that suits me or my talents (my main talent is sarcasm and House M.D. already has writers). I want to write but lack the skill to get a job. I can't get a menial job that will dole out insurance. I can't be homeless because I'm quite fond of bathing and masturbating in private. For whatever reason I have become stuck in life. My part time job for Frito is great...for a kid in school, not a grown man looking to be proud of his life. My other job, which I'm getting to like more and more is teaching Taekwon-do. Can you see the difficulty of my situation? My legs stop working and I'm still supposed to teach some kid how to kick. Irony? Divine retribution? So that's my life's story, or maybe just the last couple days but at times that feels like a lifetime. How are you?
