I’ve been blogging my ass off about things I don’t like as of late. Fixie’s, mountain bikes, fun (more specifically, people that talk about fun), jobs. I decided a list of things I really like was in order. I think some people get the idea that I’m a super negative person which really isn’t true, I’m really, really positive and happy when it comes to myself and my life, I’m only negative when it comes to everybody else. Most of you probably won’t even click on this because you love the hate just like I do!
1) Working out and eating good. I decided after Christmas that I really wanted to get serious about lifting weights, running and eating good. Some of you might remember that I lost around 50 pounds 2 years ago and I always wanted to lose another 20 or so but moving in with my ex and traveling got in the way. So I decided to get serious and I have been. Around Christmas I was 245 and now I’m 225. I’d like to get down to at least 210. I work out almost every night with my roommate which makes the whole process of getting in shape more fun. Eating good is even more important than working out when it comes to getting in shape and I’ve been on top of that lately too.
2) Not drinking. I was never a big drinker my whole life until about a year and a half ago. Even though I started drinking a good amount a while back, I was never really that into it. I have been slowly becoming less and less interested in drinking over the past few months and after New Years I decided I was going to cut it out for a while. So I haven’t had more than 1 beer per night for almost 3 months now (I’ve only drank like 3 beers in that time period) and I’m definitely enjoying it. I feel like I’m a lot more positive and motivated when I’m sober, and I enjoy life more.
3) Picture in Ride UK. I haven’t had a photo in a magazine in years but I found something to do in SF and it’s in our upcoming Ride UK article which is kind of cool.
4) Cam’ron’s return. Anyone who knows me knows I’m an obsessive Cam’ron fan. He’s back after like 2 years and I’m stoked. I’m also really into the new Jadakiss mixtape and THAT COKE WAVE.
5) Drake. There’s this rapper Drake who I’ve gotten really into lately. I looked him up on Wikipedia the other day and found out he used to play a dude in a wheelchair on that stupid show Degrasi my ex used to always watch. You can download all 3 of his mixtapes here.
6) FUTU. DVD is long, but it’s really good. Charlie Crumlish has slowly become one of my favorite riders. I used to straight up hate watching him when he used to post a new video on BMXBoard every week but he’s come a long way.
7) New company. I don’t want to give anything away but I have something I’m cooking up that should be cool.
8) The weather. Everyone knows March is supposed to be the month where it starts to get nice again. Usually that doesn’t happen and it’s still cold on-and-off in April but y’know, it’s getting closer to the point where you can ride around all day with just a T shirt on. Truthfully I have barely rode since Texas (almost a month) because I’ve been so focused on other stuff and it’s been miserable out. Which sucks, but I feel really healthy and I’m looking forward to being back on my bike.
9) Street Fighter 4. I haven’t played video games in like 10 years, but I love Street Fighter and I might buy this game, it looks pretty sick.
10) I’ve been sitting here for 10 minutes trying to think up a number 10 and I got nothing.
