30yrs old:( Hurt & MTV


DON'T BE A LAZY BASTARD GO OUT AND WALK OR JOG!
I turned 30 yesterday...it sucks! The twenties are gone! Wait what happened to the 20's? I don't even remember them? There is more of a realization now than ever that time waits for no one. So, these are 100% my last 2 years of throwing. It's scary but yet a bit exciting. What will I do after this? I know that I will be physically active but in a different way. I am ready to look good! When I am finally done with this sport I will drop back down 30 or 40 pounds. I haven't seen my abs in almost 10 years!

First I need to get over this injury. I have had a strained muscle and ligament in my right hip for a month now. It's getting better but I have not been able to do anything explosive and I am loosing my mind! It's exercise with drawl! I got lucky and the trainers at Monmouth University are allowing me to use the ice bath tomorrow. That will add to the healing process, and hopefully will be doing some light tosses by Friday afternoon. We'll see!

Last Wednesday I was in NYC and walked from 18th to 57th street... it took 45minutes! The reason I was in NYC was for an MTV rehearsal for SILENT LIBRARY. Me in a tight spandex outfit, John Travolta look-a-like, a mime, a long haired dude that sings opera. This who was running around me while "I want my MTV" song played in the background.. It was pretty cool. It's interesting what they have me doing and if all goes well I will be causing some pain on some college kids. I will keep everyone posted on that!


Weird? MTV.. huh? I have come to the conclusion that you can not sit around and wait for things to happen. Everyone I spoke to at the studio said that they have their information out there for contact, they e-mail everyone and this is how they get noticed and get work. So, the tip of the day... seize the opportunity and keep life interesting. I guess that is why I get lucky and do some weird stuff. Who wants to live an uneventful life?

Penn Relays 2010



If the Penn Relays weren't exciting enough, with big time runners, jumpers and throwers. Speaking of throwers Nick Vena is timing up a big throw at Penns, now Usain Bolt will be running! He will be competing Saturday April 24th in the USA vs. The World. There is going to be thousands more people there now! I wonder if I should go?

Nothing to do today...So went to the nude beach!


It's been two weeks since I touched a shot put. I have been able to finally warm-up and stretch but it's still tender. If I were to do anything explosive I would most definitely make it worse. Time is the only therapy...oh and my crazy ass massage I will be getting tomorrow...it will hurt so good! So, since I have this free time I have been working on some Jersey Trash Clothing Stuff (new site and designs by Volcom and Airwalk designers coming soon!) and just resting. Yesterday I went to the beach to get some color and today I went again... this time to the nude beach! It was kinda weird... Okay it was really weird... but it made for an interesting day! No I did not get nude!!!! I am trying to get some color for a little Joby job-job... wink ;) in New York City this month. It's going to be fun and when the time is right I will let you all know what it is!
