Why the push to get in shape? New years resolution?

not really. just decided last week that i need to do something. i don't make new year's resolutions.

Kind of like when I decided to work out. It was after my friends and I played basketball against a one legged black dude and we got our asses kicked. Me especially since I got winded so fast. I went running a couple times a week among other things, and then felt better.

yeahhhh. i get winded walking to class (though I think part of that is psychological because i can walk farther normally without a problem). the last half hour or so at the zoo the other day, i was pretty miserable. so yeah, i need to be in better shape, even if i don't lose the weight i'd like to.

You should go to Vegas. Walking up and down the strip in 100 degree weather will surely get you in shape.

She'd be really fit after she becomes a stripper, too.

Job interview with McDonald's today. How fun. My hair looks like shit as do I today.

ugh. i dread the hot weather here. i don't really like to sweat very much. haha. though in vegas, it might not be as humid, at least.

wouldn't i need to get fit before becoming a stripper??

If you're really interested in losing weight you might want to try what my mom has done. She went on this "Zone Favorable" diet in august of last year, and she's lost 25 pounds. It involves balancing your protiens and your carbs and whatnot. Like she can have 3 oz of protien a day, as many vegatbles as she want but only 1 serving of category 2 vegetables (which is like carrots and sweet potatoes) 2 servings of fruit etc. I could elaborate on it more if you were interested.

Here's a website with a breakdown of it sort of: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

You have to register to see it but you could just make something up just to see it if you wanted to.

i'm skeptical about starting a "diet" (as opposed to just trying harder to eat less or healthier without too many rules) because every time i diet, i lose weight but then gain it back plus extra. i sure don't need the extra.

i get hung up on that whole "you need to make a lifestyle change" thing because i do a diet, lose weight, then go back to my old habits.

but i'll probably look into that just to see what it takes.

So... I've begun asking people I know online if they want to contribute drums to Lance of Longinus. A guy I went to college with would probably do it, but I'm not sure he has a way to record and... I'm not exactly sure where he lives anymore.

Drum machine FTW

headache. bad day. =(

Wha happen?

I have many different types of software that could allow me to do a drum part. I've even got realistic drums. I just can't think of drum parts.

Honestly, the less people involved in Lance the better. I'm only doing this because I have no clue what the drums should sound like.

it was a very long day, and i haven't felt well. i just got back home from school. it's just one of those days, i guess.

Well work was pretty slow so I had to go home early which I like and don't like at the same time. :p

When I make a song the only thing I can think of is drum parts and every other part sucks. Sometimes I just have layers of drum tracks going.

i can't make music!! =(

But we could make some sweet music together.

silly boy.

[i'm hoping to develop self-confidence soon. that might could be considered a new year's resolution!]

i like to sing, but that's about all i am good for, music-wise.

Singing is pretty much making music.

i mean i can't put together a full song, accompaniment and all. not even close.

Just become like Rahzel.

good thing I've been working on my beatboxing!
