The Weekend of Realization

So it has been such a weekend. I left things a little unspecific, and with such a weekend full of trial and tribulations, I’ve realized I wanted to just write it out to you guys. Letting you guys know what has been happening, not just the good stuff though I am so happy that all these things have happen. And grateful for the friends I have met and managed to keep during this trying time.

I will start at the beginning, I applied at Walt Disney and got a face to face interview, I went and I did great, and was told I would be hired in May for the Seasonal Position as a Photographer. After the interview, me and my darling girlfriend went to the McDonalds, where I recieved word that my aunt, a surrogate mother to me, pasted on. I recieved this word via text and let me tell you it is not the way, I wanted to hear this news. It was so impersonal, and I literally quite lost the breath out of my body and I went into a state of shock. Well I went through that struggle and can’t say I’m over it but I can say thanks to my friends and family, the pain has eased.

On saturday I had a wonderful day of work and kept up with it perfect and did really good all together. But that night I got word that my girlfriend, had a seizure. This was heart breaking, I knew she would consider this a threat to her dreams of moving out, and later found out it was also a threat to her career choice. She thought she had faced and conquered this plague on her body. She has to find out what the cause is and how to stop it. While she is going through this process she cannot drive til threats of seizures or in the past. So if its just the one she had out of stress, or out of circumstances, it’ll be 6 months before she get behind the wheel of a car again. I’ve gone through alot of this because it is a big part of my life now because it is her well being. I can not do very much for her other than support and being a rock and her support through this trying time. I’ll admit I am terrified and worried about her saftey and her health but things like this are out of my control, no matter how much I hate it. She will be able to talk to me about everything she’s going through and I will listen and research and give her intelligent feed back. This is going to be a long process but together I know we can get through it, and be a stronger couple for it.

The day before I broke my big right toe, which hurts but really can’t be fixed with any sort of cast or splint. It has delayed my workout regimen but not stopped me completely. It was just Tuesday that I walked 4 hours just to see my girlfriend who lives in Deland. A walk I would do again, once the effects of the last walk are in the past. I also got moved to a bigger room which basically means I can and will be doing a little more hosting. And I have scheduled my drivers test for next Friday. Thats all I can think of right now, until next time, stay safe and stay happy.

Long Needed Update

Hey there bloggers or blog readers,

I have been slacking on my posting. Well not exactly slacking but pretty damn close because the to posts that are here are the ones I typed up when I made Mikes Day Counter. I know, I know, supposed to update often but you know what I’m here now and I got alot to fill you guys in on. First of all I went to the beach, a couple times and I must say I have some pretty awesome pictures, of course some will be added to this post for you viewing pleasure but the remain on the much useful site Facebook, between you and me I don’t like the new photo viewer that much (not the subject I know but I had to vent).

Secondly I went to DISNEY now before you go and think, no I did not go to Magic Kingdom but instead we spent the day park hopping, and tiring day in itself. So we started off with Animal Kingdom went on Dinosaur Which was like most kids rides, you spent more time outside waiting then you do in the ride itself, Then it was onto Exhibition  Everest a face paced roller coaster, my personal number 3, First being Kraken at Seaword, second being Manta. Needless to say I was not at all ready to drop backwards and into the dark, but overall an amazing ride. Manta still is my favorite because come on, everyone knows I want to be able to fly and well that was as close as I think I’m getting. From Animal Kingdom we went to MGM Studios and did the Movie Ride which as many of you know I am the youngest Film enthusiast ever (probably not, but it sounds important). Then after MGM Studios I went to Epcot which was amazing and where we finished of the night with fire works, amazing day that left me tired and ready to sleep for hours.

As of last Friday I went to my first fair (yeah, I know pretty sad) and needless to say spent about $100 on stuff. My contribution to a dying breed. So we rode on everything, indulged on games and lost almost all of them, and of course like usual I did a couple trips, jumps and such to show boat. Well that is the big stuff that has been happening and if anything exciting comes up, I’ll be sure to keep you filled in.

 

The Start: Day Zero

So here is the deal, I was going to do P90x but with my hectic schedule, I have to decided to option out and freeball my workout regimen. As most of you know I am a traceur, for you who don’t know what that is, I take you to the officail free encyclopedia of the internet, Wikipedia:

“A practitioner of parkour is called a traceur, which is most likely derived from Parisian slang tracer which means “to hurry” or “to move quickly”. In proper French, traceur is an adjective qualifying something that leaves a trace or a trail behind it.”

And for you that don’t know what Parkour is, well I’ll explain that in my own words. Its a means from getting from point A to point B by using and pushing your body to the physical and mental limits. But a branch of Parkour is called Freerunning, which takes many main concepts but make Parkour and absolute art. The practitioner makes Art of Movement with his or her body. Main difference is flipping and tricking, and staying in one general “Playground”.

I will be taking principles from Parkour and Freerunning, including balance, agility, strength, endurance, and speed. I’m also planning to take the old fashion approch and my equipment will be my body and weights and nothing else, no specialized equipment not high end sports equipment just me and some extra weight. In this regimen I planning on making running and swimming my main Cardio/Endurance trainers. My balance will be handstands and plank walks. My agility/flexiblity will come from old stances from Tai Chi and Yoga. Strength will be obtained by military style workouts, using push ups, sit ups, squats, pull ups and chin ups.

So this is what I start as:

Weight	175.8
Chest	37.5
Hips	39
Waist	34.5
BMI	22.6
Arms Left	12
Arms Right	13
Right Thigh	23
Left Thigh	23
Body Fat %	20

Hello world!

Well so many things have changed since the last post of my last journal, let me feel you in. I finished my first semester of college and did quite well. I moved out of my house, and onto a forty acre farm where I work. I take care of dogs, for Royalty Puppies, also known as, Chuck. Chuck is my boss, and a great guy, he owns a huge house and breeds dogs. Corgis, Norwich Terriers, and Australian Shepards. He also breeds a new breed called Norgis, which is a 50/50 mix of Corgi, and Norwich. Smiliey a Corgi just had a litter of Norgis, and all of tghem are cute as a button, (yes I used that quote). Two Aussies are pregnant too, Stormy and Sonny. Their litters aren’t due til February. Well, as to what I do there I’m the jack of all trades, doing handyman work to cleaning work. Its not always easy but companionship with the dogs and the room and board are quite the payment I need. Enough about work. I have also recently been roped into an addiction. This might sound horrible but you will note my total nerdyness. I am now playing and addicted to pokemon, and for those who know me also know my hatred to most video games, but I have finally found something I can play for hours, (whether this is a good thing I don’t know yet) leaving out alot of details to keep ahold of my cool card I’ll say this, Its Soul Silver and yes, I do wear the Pokewalker…. and there goes my cool card. 😀

Updates on me physically: I bleached my hair but its growing out. I have two tattoos; a celtic knot symbolizing my freedom and indepence, and a Japanese Character for Parkour, and my love of movement. I also started P90x. The best response to this is the said “fact” that I’ll turn into some meat head who can’t scratch his face, with a german accent. I do want to make it clear that yes I’m in good shape but i want to be in the best shape of my life. I want to be able to work and live at a very golden age and choices I make now affect that goal. Diet is currently my struggle, being able to eat all the junk food you want and staying fit makes you think your system is impervious to weight gain but no, its not, I’ve finally kicked the habit of 1 to 6 Monsters and or Energy drinks a day (a month). Occassionally having that Mountain Dew that turns me into a Squirrel on Meth. I’ve also been cigarette free for about 3 monthes, an accomplishment in itself. Giving that habit up was hard, I was the one who would sit there puffing on a Marlboro  Red 100s and be able to tell you why you shouldn’t smoke, to tell you the statistics that they weigh on your life. I’ve also adapted this concept that EVERY woman should carry a knife or form of protection, realization that there are very scary and dark people in this world, and that few should be trust I believe man or woman should know how to protect themselves if and when its necessary, no one should have to be the victim. Something I’m working on is my nice collection, of which I have 2 (yay…. not) its a goal to have around 15 well made knives. I’m still aiming towards becoming a nurse, then a marine, and then believe it or not, Michael is going to attend Med. School to attain the sought after title “Doctor”. Its so weird to say or think that, “Dr. Michael Andrew Robinson”, I know people who fret at that thought mainly because of my current notalwaysresponsible state 😀 Consider this though 4 year Nursing school 4 year Marine, 4 year med school. According to this itll be 12 years before I can call myself Doctor making me 30, but thats such a far future that I like to concentrate on my nursing now.
