Past to present - Awards

Folks who know me or rather, have known me for a long time understand that I have a passion for Art, Fitness and Wrestling. I'm no body builder by any means. These days my sit ups are limited to the length of time I spend in a chair sitting and watching TV. Though I did stumbled on a few of my old wrestling medals. It made me wonder if I should consider getting into that field of work. Fitness... Hmmn.

I volunteered as a wrestling coach for the summer a few years back, the Rebels wrestling team here in Calgary with one wrestler who won provincials. As much as I would like to take credit for that medal I know that wrestler earned it on their own. I won't drop names but The coach, the school and the hard work are proof that anything can happen to any one. I only played a minor role in the learning process to that one particular champion.

Now I'm left with the thought of chasing the fitness career... Then I remembered it is an hourly gig and I know there is no way I can do three hours of aerobics. Fitness coaching and weights I can help people with, but there is no way I'm bouncing around for 3 hours for a few bucks that they pay these days.

It was nice to see the medals again, they can stay in the box!
I need to look for other things to occupy my money earning time.

I spent the last two days looking for a muse...

I found several here....

Men seem to have a much easier time of keeping weight off. These women are visually impressive not only for looks but the work ethic they have to maintain the bodies they have. Wow!

Seriously - WOW!

If ever you need inspiration to get off the couch this would be it.
On a funny note...
My buddy said, "Its a good thing they have strong arms. I need a good woman who can carry my beer and run it over to me in a full sprint. Yup, I'd date her!" he said.

Made me chuckle.

Nice--dodged a bullet...

Nothing short of a miracle a billing error was found where the fault was on the corporations side and they offer apologies, and they found it all on their own - I did not have to point out their process ineffectiveness.... I think hell froze over.

I should have told them to hire me to audit their system to prevent future issues.

Life is good again.

Break...

Between my fictional tale web cast - FightOn - and the story writing and illustrations - I'm spinning my wheels here!

Not much is panning out. No matter how hard I push no one seem interested in my work right now. Since the school break is over I need to focus on the priorities of my children so I'm taking a break from posting for a week or so. After I upload my "FightOn" I'll be taking a week to just try and get idea's in line and search for a paying job. I might be able to flip a burger or two for a while... not sure what kind of message that sends to my young ones but at least it will cover some bills.

Life just sucks sometimes... I wonder what it would be like if I applied for the CEO job that the corporations family owners handed to their eldest son... Must be nice to be handed a few million shares and being told, "Here's your chance, don't blow it, the family is counting on you." Never mind the family being worth between 7 to 9 billion... depending on the markets.

I can tell you it is easier to make it and harder to keep it. Once you have the bulls-eye on your back, many more people try to bring you down.... Easy come, easy go as they say.

-enjoy your day.
