My World Is Not Great Today..

I don't feel great about the world...something big and bad is going to happen. I can feel it. Makes life loose it's glimmer when Ass Holes are running around burning American flags and others burning the Quaran. :(

Watch these videos ... especially the last one...:(

James J. Lee Discovery Channel

Sitting here eating an awesome lunch and the news is finally entertaining! An activist names James J. Lee has entered the building with a gun and possibly some bombs. He has no hostages. It seems like he wants to be heard on a bigger stage... WORLWIDE! He has concerns about Earth. Pollution, over population, and saving the planet. After thinking we have all become zombies and will never stand up for a cause... it looks like someone has!

Now if you want to check out his site go here http://savetheplanetprotest.com/ but I have a good feeling they are taking it down... cause I have not been able to access it! POLICE STATE!

I am throwing cookies on MTV's Silent Library

Here is part of the episode of MTV's Silent Library, where I throw cookies at the lead singer of Never Shout Never. Do I really look like that? Oh and thank god I got some sun this summer, because I look very white in this video!

I'm singing I don't know why!?

This pick doesn't reflect my post...but look... Sponge Bob Slippers! LOL!

I am so sick of waking up at 4:20am. How do people do it? I am just counting down the hours until my nap. Following that I will be practicing and it's going to be a hot one. It is 90+ degrees with very, very high humidity. Yesterday I was working on some Jersey Trash Clothing shirts and was melting- Sweat bullets. Thank god I had some trusty watermelon handy! I recently bought two watermelons and I hit the jack pot. These balls of joy are absolutely amazing! So sweet and crunchy! The last watermelon I bought was a pure shit nugget! No taste.

I am heading down to Atlantic City saturday for dinner with my two younger brothers and then sneaking away to a party in Ocean City being held by Euforia Clothing, then back to A.C. for some clubb'n. Work hard party hard... but soon I need to cut back on some of this partying. Staying up late on Saturday really hurts Monday & Tuesday's training.

For all you shot putters Justin Rodhe put together a throwing glove used for training with heavier shots. It's worth the money and lasts years. I mean would you rather save $20.00 and destroy your wrist or would you spend $20.00 and save your wrist. Your call! GLOVE HERE

MMM Breakfast!

Birthdays, Training, MTV's Silent Library

I think I need to blog more often?! What do you think? So, what's going on now in my life??? This week there are two big birthdays. My sister Jessica turns 21 and my sister in law Angela turns 30... It's amazing how fast time goes. It felt like it was only yesterday when Jessica was floating upside down in the pool (long story, but she survived) and as for Angela... mmm I won't go there! LOL.

Time has been teaching all of us a couple of major things... one being how important eating healthy and exercising is for the body. Angela has lost 15lbs or so since June, and Jessica is frequently visiting the gym. Being an athlete of life, I have come to realize what foods effect my moods and energy. I know I only understand 10% of the whole picture, but even just that percentage is having a huge impact on my life. I constantly try to reinforce the fact of nutrition and exercise to my family... I think some of it is getting through to them.

I have been preaching about how flour is bad, breads are bad etc. My dad stopped eating white bread. Did he learn this from me? No! He learned it from Oprah. So, what ever Oprah says goes!

As my blog readers know, I have been injured the last 3+ months. I am close to 100% healed! I have been able to workout, throw, run and jump. It feels amazing to move my body again. I still have alot of ground to cover. We are 23 months away from the 2012 Olympic Trials and that's how long it's going to take me to get into the position to throw 68+ feet. All the training experiences over the past 16 years are now collected as one. I know what works for my body. I know what stress my body has to go through to see adaption. I know amount of throws needed, nutrition, mind set and the list goes on. From all of this we (Dane Miller www.garagestrength.com) and I are coming up with a plan that will bring me back to my highest strength levels without sacrificing what I have done these past 2.5 years. It's keeping Dr. Bundarchuk's philosophies at the most importance while increasing 5-7 pounds a month in my bench, squat and olympic lifts.

Now to keep my self occupied with a hobby/stress reliever, I am planning on starting a Vlog on youtube that will track my daily activities over the next 23 months. I am loosing my head with work, training and Jersey Trash CLothing that I need to do something fun. Hopefully this will be the outlet.

Oh and the new season of MTV's Silent Library is on. I don't know what week I will be on, but keep an eye out for me!

PS..The above picture reminds me that I need to get my eyes checked and some new glasses! Later!
