This Week..
It has been a boring week. We joined a gym and I have ridden 22 miles on the stationary bikes. I was doing the cardio workout program on the bike. I would ride for 30 minutes and try to get 11 miles. That meant less than a 2.5 minute mile and I would get my heart rate to 147 bpm. That was the target. I was able to achieve that. I am also working out for my back to strengthen it up by doing dead lifts. I do 4 sets of 10 at 100 lbs and then 2 sets of 10 at 110 lbs. So I am sore today. I took the night off, but I think that I am going in the morning before I have to sleep to get ready for work for the weekend. Also, my Grandparents and Uncle are coming out here! They start driving on Saturday and will get here on Sunday. I can’t wait to see them!! Well, have a good evening…

Celebrities??? Role Models???
A real world commentary...
What is it with our fascination with these people? Why do we follow their lives? What power do they have over us? They do not have any on me! To me, they are just normal people, not to be idolized. Let us look at some of them. Most of them did not finish High School or even have a college degree. Therefore, to say that they are role models is not hitting the mark for our children.
Wow, Mom, I want to be like Brittany Aguilera and make it big in the music business; a little girl might say at age 10 or 11 perhaps. What a dream it is, because that is just it, a dream. Most kids grow up to become productive members of society and have a family, job, and home just like their parents do, not some nut job that shows her private parts or strips down to bra and panties to go swimming swarmed by the media.
It scares me to think that my daughter once wanted to be like one of them. With role models like Hilton, Spears, Lohan, just to name a few; who needs nightmares? These women and I use the term loosely, could be a very good force in young girls futures by doing things the right way, but instead, they choose to be sluts and addicts and with the media coverage, every little girl gets to see just how the rich and powerful act; with no regard for actions and how it effects others. Mindless debauchery with drug filled sex oriented nights on tape no less. We have all had times where we acted not so well, but we grew up and got over it. I for one feel they they will never.
Therefore, I challenge you as parents and families to not let your children idolize these people. It is good to have dreams and if one so chooses, to be an actor or singer, but get an education because the chances of making it big are not very good. We are so consumed with these famous people that we use this as medicine for the lives that we lead. Most are so dumbded down by the media that they live for the next big star to fall or get in a fight or make a surprise visit to the big Hollywood hot spot. It is time to wake up and view these people for what they are, just normal people, well at least most of them.
Wake up people, live your own life, and do not worry what the Johnsons are doing across the street. Most of the actors and actresses live in a dream world that they created with their money, not in reality that you or I live in. I for one cannot afford to go into court with a high priced attorney and get out of jail free. It just pisses me off to no ends… I guess that what they say is true. We follow these people to not have to deal with our own lives. Celebrity gossip is the opiate for the masses.

How Stupid Can You Be?? Dumbass Award!!!
HOW STUPID CAN U BE??
I mean really...
Arrested again on Drug and Alcohol possession just 2 weeks after being let out of rehab.
She had everything going for her and much like many of her peers, she is going into the shitter very quick!!
This is not stuff that i generally get into, but this deserves a post!!
The Associated Press
SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- The troubled saga of Lindsay Lohan took another dangerous turn early Tuesday when police booked her for drunken driving and cocaine possession after a frightened woman dialed 911 to report being chased by Lohan's SUV. Less than two weeks out of rehab, with another drunk driving case pending, Lohan had a blood-alcohol level of between .12 and .13 percent when police found her about 1:30 a.m., Sgt. Shane Talbot said.
Is she trying to be another Anna Nicole Smith? Does she want to spend the next 3-5 years in jail? I am sure that she will get another slap on the wrist because of her money, but she needs a good Kick In The ASS if you ask me!! She might make it into jail and that would be a good slap in the face and a reality check. Hilton had to go and Lohan does not have near the amount of money that she does. But with a father like she has and a hard partying mother, what do you expect?? They get too much money and fame at an early age without the maturity or guidance to have access to it...
What a good Roll Model for young girls that want to be "just like her."

My Firend...Charles Story.
We have been friends since the early 1980s. He and his Grandmother rented an apartment that my Grandparents owned in cool Kirbyville Texas many years ago. We had some wild times together and many adventures!
As times passes like it always does; people move away from their town. I live in Virginia and Charles "Chuck" now lives in Athens Georgia.
This is his current story:
I started in 1996 training brazilian jiu jitsu and have since traveled all over the United States and trained / taught at several academies. I have trained with several UFC, WEC, Pride, and various small organization NHB fighters. I train under Gracie Barra which is led by Carlinhos Gracie, the son of Carlos Gracie. Gracie Barra is one of the most successful organizations in the world and has many champions.
I teach BJJ and NHB in Carrollton, GA. and also train at Gracie Barra Holly Springs, and Gracie Barra Douglasville. At this time I am training with NHB fighter Blake Bowman whom is a up and coming fighter, together we run Tudo Bem BJJ, an affiliate of GracieBarra North Shore. I have a 22-8 record and currently hold a purple belt in BJJ.

Rear WIndow Problems
The right side 1/3 rear window was broken out. I went to A Auto body to have it replaced, thinking that just the little window could be fixed. Boy was i wrong!
I found that the window is called Encapsulated Glass. Meaning that the whole window has to be replaced. I went to several other glass companies to see if the little window could be replaced and it could not. I had to file with my insurance as the price for OEM or Aftermarket Glass was very expensive. Therefore, i had to file.
I went with A- Auto body as they did a good job for em before. I got all the paperwork set up and placed my truck in the shop. I received a call from the owner saying that Safelite who handles all the glass claims for Nationwide would not allow an OEM piece of glass to be used and that i had to use an aftermarket one. The owner told me that they have had several aftermarket back glass windows not fit correctly. I did not want a leaky truck.
There was my dilemma. I went with A Auto body as the are a "Blue Ribbon" partner with Nationwide Insurance, or a preferred shop. I had to switch to another shop that was not in the "Blue Ribbon" network that would and could use OEM parts in the truck as opposed to a "partner" that was bound by the stipulations of the Safelite contract.
The moral of this story is to check with your insurance company and their partners as to what parts will/can be used to fix your vehicle. I have no fault with A Auto body as they allowed my truck to stay at their shop and let the other glass company come and fix the back window. Always check to see what is allowed with your insurance.

More Stunts...
Mark attempting another stunt on Bell Isle. I call this place "Flat Rock Park" as you can only access it via the foot bridge over the James River. This area is really awsome to ride on and walk around. This is also part of the Buttermilk Trail System.
Ready For Action!!!!
I am on the Green Trail in Pocahontas State Park. This was taken on Sunday. We rode the Red Trail and then we wanted to "warm-down" and went on the Green trail.

End of trail!
At this point, we had ridden 9.03 miles around the James River on both of the banks of it. Very challenging trails as there were several different parks that make up the loop.
Here is the link to the whole collection of pics.

Forest Hill Park Mountain Bike Trail
"Description: Short small network of trails through a formerly fabulous (100 years ago or so), then dilapidated, now archeological find type of site. This park has been neglected for so long it has become beautiful again. Trails in this park were part of the Xterra race (June 2004). These trails are accessible from Reedy Creek (which is along the Buttermilk trail). Excellently difficult to climb hills, both single track and paved. An excellent whoop-dee-whoop on the East end (a bit hard to find, go over the creek near Forest Hill Avenue). Short trails, but worth exploring while riding the Buttermilk/Belle isle trails."
Treadgar Foot Bridge
Looking back at downtown Richmond over the James River going to Bell Isle. It is all part of the Buttermilk Trail System.

Eating beef ' is less green than driving?
According to the article that i read, "Producing 2.2lb (1 kilo) of beef generates as much greenhouse gas as driving a car non-stop for three hours, it was claimed yesterday."
They have got to be mental!!
"Taking into account all the processes involved, they said, four average sized steaks generated greenhouse gases with a warming potential equivalent to 80.25lb of carbon dioxide.
This also consumed 169 megajoules of energy.
That means that 2.2lb of beef (1 Kilo) is responsible for greenhouse gas emissions which have the same effect as the carbon dioxide released by an ordinary car travelling at 50 miles per hour for 155 miles, a journey lasting three hours or the amount of energy consumed would light a 100-watt bulb for 20 days.
Most of the greenhouse gas emissions are in the form of methane released from the animals' digestive systems, New Scientist magazine reported."
Who would have thought that cow farts were the main reason for the Greenhouse Effect??
Their answer is for us to stop eating beef!! What a good answer...NOT!! If we were to stop eating beef, what would happen to all the cows? Would we stop feeding them and let them die? This sounds like something PETA thought up and is trying to push their Vegan Liberal thinking on us. Did they ever stop to think about all the cows left out in the pasture so to speak? So, for the last 2500+ years, cow farts have been accumulating in the atmosphere and are going to cause a global climate shift? This is ridiculous to me, but hey, I love to eat a good steak!!

Private Submarines?
I would have to say that this hits the top in the luxury travel category! This to me is the epitome of decadence. Yes you too can have a private submarine to travel the Earth's Oceans undetected by foreign powers.
The Phoenix 1000 pictured here is at the top of my list to purchase after I make my first billion dollars!! I can t wait. It has about 5000 sq/ft of living space in it and can be custom designed to meet your every need! With a $78 million price tag, all but the uber-rich can purchase one of these.

Bobby Brown fears he is terrorist target?
We all know how imprtant Bobby Brown is to the music industry. He had a hit or to way back in the late 1980s and early 1990s and then vanished off the face of the earth only to be married to Whitney Houston! What a pair they made!! So for him to make a comment like this is just par for the course.
Bobby Brown has confessed he is scared of the fact that he may be a target for al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.The singer became aware of a threat, when Sudanese writer Kola Boof wrote about the leader's alleged infatuation with his estranged wife Whitney Houston.
Brown has taken measures to increase the security around him since he read the claims.On an Australian radio show, the Being Bobby Brown star claimed: "Come on, if anyone is threatened by al-Qaeda they'd take it seriously. "I figure if Bin Laden wants me, and everybody is looking for him, it won't happen. But if he wants to try and find me for something so stupid, then he can if he wants. I have to leave it in the hands of a higher power."
