No Exceptions No Excuses Part 1






I Workout!



I am happy to report that my "No Excuses No Exceptions" workout initiative has been going quite splendidly. Last week I clocked in about 10 hours of prison rules basketball with the local hoopers over at Wrightwood Park. (Jeez I hate it when people argue about fouls, quit crying.) Meanwhile over at the Wrigley rooftops (aka planet kegatron) I have been hauling the living shit out many many kegs. I have a few goals that I just want to mention in hopes that some readers will leave inspiring comments to inspire or hurtful comments to motivate. I aim to be able to do 100 push ups in a row on video by July 28th. I plan to Dunk a basketball in a game, on video by August 31st. Currently I can probably do about 50-60 push ups in a row and can dunk after warming up but not while people are trying to stop me. I need to gain a few inches on my vertical over the summer. The "No Excuses No Exceptions" ideals of strength and honor have carried over into the creative realm as well. I have recently started doing daily vocal workouts to learn all the aspects of my favorite instrument "the human voice." I cannot sing (not well anyway) but I dream of someday being able to do a mean impression of George Thoroughgood (singer of awesome tunes such as "Bad To The Bone" "I Drink Alone" "Who Do You Love?" and "One Bourbon, One Scotch And One Beer." I am actually about to do some vocal work right now before heading out to play prison ball. I love Wrightwood Park. Ball So Hard. I hope you all are getting it in this summer. Enjoy the day, it is yours for the milking. Adios Me Amigos.

No Exceptions No Excuses Part 0

Lets get in the Gym!
For most of the year so far I have been slacking on my workouts. I never seem to be able to stick to any consistent regiment. Usually I get started and one of two things happens. 1. I get really drunk one night and the hangover is so brutal that I simply cannot workout the following day or I workout way to hard and the muscle soreness is so great that it makes me want to take a few days off. One of my roommates (David "Flashlight" West) has been putting in a lot of work at the gym and eating right. I see him making progress and it makes me want to improve my own physique. My seasonal job as The Most Interesting Barback In The World at The Wrigley Rooftops has started again and that means a lot of keg hauling.....even more incentive to get in better shape (those things are heavy) I am writing all this out to illustrate my current mindset and to announce that I will be publishing a post later this Summer as a follow up on my new workout plan which I am calling the "No Exceptions, No Excuses" workout plan. I'm mostly posting this so that all of you can read it and see if I stick to my word. Be on the lookout for all of the epic workout plans I have on the way. Lets get in shape this summer so we can get attention from hot babes.
