I wouldn’t necessarily call it a date, more like a booty call.

Hey, do you lift at UNO’s rec facility? I’ve only been there once because I go to school out of state but I have a couple friends who go there.

Do you know Chris Lokey and Mike Chase? Chris is a freshman and Mike is a junior. Both of them do some powerlifting and take lifting pretty serious. What high school did you go to?

I don’t know either, I went to Millard North.

I looked for them both on facebook, I found Chris, never seen him before.

Did you go to Skutt?

Yep, all three of us went to Skutt. If you want to PM me your name we could discuss this more. Chris would probably make a really good training partner for you if you want. He’s around 6’1, 280 and is very, very strong. You should be able to find him on Youtube if you care to look.

PM sent.

Friday and Sunday I basically did more deload work, still went heavier on the assistance.

Sunday morning I sent my update to Shelby, I weigh 213.

When I first started lifting seriously in November of 2008 I weighed 213, I look completely different now than I did then, but it is weird being back at the same weight. Just goes to show how the scale isn’t that important.

Back then my lifts were also
Bench: 225
Squat: 225
Deadlift: 325

Things have definitely changed and I definitely have really long way to go from here.

That was it. I was a bit off today, I don’t know how much it made national news, but there was a shooting at a local high school.

To give you an idea, I went to Millard North High, the shooting was at Millard South High, obviously there is a close connection. A kid who had just been suspended walked into the administration office, shot the assistant principal who had suspended him and then shot the head principal.

The head principal was the assistance principal that oversaw freshman my freshman year of high school, he kicked me out of a football game for throwing a cup when I was 14. He is in serious condition and is still in the hospital.

The assistant principal died of her injuries later that evening, today was her 59th birthday. After shooting them he went to his car and fled the school, he parked his car right around the corner from the main office of the security company I work for and shot himself.

It is just really shocking seeing something this horrible happen so close to home. I don’t know how much I have written about this but I am a criminal justice major and want to be a police officer. Watching events like this unfold in my own community completely reinforce my plans for the future.

THat’s some crazy shit. Did the kid have mental issues, or was he just incredibly pissed?

He had to have had some sort of mental breakdown. Everyone said he was a nice funloving kid. The night before he posted basically a suicide note on facebook.

The next day he drove on the football field in his car, then got suspended, left, came back and shot the two principals.

Now they are saying Westboro Baptist Church is going to come protest her funeral(of godhatesfags.com fame), there is a very special place in hell set aside for those people.


Well today I sent my week 12 update to Shelby, I lost 30 pounds of almost all fat in the 12 weeks he and I have worked together. I am not quite at my final goal yet so I don’t want to post full before and after pictures but I will give you guys an idea.

The picture in this post is from July when I realized I was fat and started dieting down, I weighed about 265.

This was the start of my diet with Shelby, about 241.

This is today, about 211. I am very close to my final goal of leanness and then I will turn around and FINALLY start gaining some more muscle and strength.
