Welcome to Hollywood

Internal monologue of a man looking like the million bucks he'll never see-

"I'm strolling down Beverly, Dre beats pumpin' SHM. Ed Hardy hat pulled low over my bangs. Sweat pants tucked into my Uniqlo boots, damn it feels good to be a gansta.

I'm hungry, but miles away from the nearest juice bar. It's February so I'm shit out of luck. I must admit, this cleanse has done amazing things for my abs. Is that Lohan? Why is she digging through that trash can? False alarm.

Coffeee, coffeee, coffeeee! Boom and there is a spot on the patio available, things are rollin'! Skinny vanilla latte is abouts to gets drunk. My schedule just cleared up for the afternoon.

I am literally following the exact career path of Orlando Bloom at this point in his career. I am a lot more versatile though. I wonder if he goes to Hemmingway's too?

I'm pretty sure I nailed my most recent audition. No extra has ever prepared so thoroughly for a role. The City of Angel's is my playground and I am the king of the jungle gym.

Look at this idiot in the Mellow Johnny's shirt..."

This is the blogging equivalent of the walk of shame.

I haven't been writing much. Sure I've got excuses, a new promotion, lots of riding, and fun activties with friends and family, but in reality I've just been shirking my personal duties.

 I've got a lot to write about and strong opinions to share, but it's hard to set the time. Perhaps if I set aside some time during my lunch break, I can write a short post every day. In addition, if I decide on some priority subjects that can act as self-checkups, I can be more disciplined in my posts.

I once bought Charleton Heston's Biography. It was a huge hardcover book with over 1,000 pages. It chronicled his time making movies in the 1970's. The project was an accumulation of his diaries and journal entries. It was the most terrible thing I have ever read. Maybe I didn't get far enough, but after the 3rd entry that began with "Had a successful bowel movement", I knew I had better things to do with my team.

I don't plan on overloading my blog with dribbling gobbledygook, but I feel committing to the habit of writing will benefit me in the long run. So bear with me all four of you who are reading this...

How much coffee have you drank today?
1 cup of drip + 1 Vanilla Latte.

When was the last time you exercised?
I did a run on 4.5 mile run on Saturday at about 7:30 pace. On Monday, I went to the gym and did chest and biceps.

What was the best thing you have eaten in the past week?
I absolutely loved the kale, garbonzo bean, and bacon salad that my mom made. I also loved the feedzone cookbook's oatmeal recipe that I made. It contained oats, brown sugar, maple syrup, raisens, and bananas. Lastly, I loved the prime rib french dip sandwich from Bandera!

What do you wish you could do this week?
U'm extremely excited to help Anna settle into her LA apartment and begin exploring LA. I'd like to move forward with some triathlon training. I am really excited to pound the dirt on the mountain bike and prep for the 50 mile Rwanda ride.

And for those of you wondering, yes I did have a successful bowel movement today.
