PICOTS Fitness, Film, Fashion, Food

I'll never forget when I first stumbled upon Muscle ups in 2007 while going for a jog in the Marina in San Francisco. Some guy pulling up then dipping from the top of childrens monkey bars. I stopped from curiosity and asked the dude what he was doing and from then on I did research, you tubed and experimented with reckless abandon... haha. I practiced non stop (even injuring myself real bad in the elbow) and tinkered with exercises that would compliment my progress in this cool move. It wasnt long after that I could do them on command but it definitely took a lot of go's! Perseverance friends. Dont Quit. So here goes. 1. Weighted Pull ups and Dips- First off the muscle up IS essentially both or a combo of, so you have to be comfortable in doing the two said exercises already. Weighted pull-ups and dips will strengthen and help you with the explosion (speed + strength) that you need to get over the bar. 2. Reverse Grip curls- I LOVE these and definitely co-sign on how much th...

Well happy late new years everyone. Its kinda weird putting down resolutions once a year, if you saw my journals I right down goals every day. ( Thats what happens when you work graveyard shift... too much time to think) But for the sake of this blog and to keep myself accountable I'd like to add a few things to accomplish this year. 1. Identity Theft = This is the biggest thing I'd like to get taken care of just because its a huge financial thorn in my side. My so called buddy told me he was a car broker and in short ruined my credit and made off with a ton of money making me look like the guilty party. Not being Mr. Moneybags its been hard and depressing beyond all my years of breathing to deal with this and find lawyers and anyone dealing with the justice department to help. That being said, once this issue is out the way, the ball should be rolling quite nice and I can invest in my fitness even more-so. 2. Certifications = I love school and seminars, anything that will...

Wow WOw Wizzle. Superlitaves attack pow bam boom. O.K. This movie was awesome folks. Visually it was a masterpiece. I was mesmerized 80 percent of the time. The other times i was sneering at Sigourney Weaver thinking she looks good for an 100 year old. But I still worship her for the Aliens franchise. The Nav'i were tall smurfs off acid worshipping trees and mother nature. It was clearly a Cowboys and Indians movie. The soldiers calling the Nav'i savages and what not kind hit an eerie note. I already thought Underworld with the Vampire(upperclass) and Werewolf(slaves) with savvy slurs were a bit much. Kinda wish you could just watch a movie without all the stuff but i guess you have to build up tension huh?! Steering away from all that the Characters were cool and the wildlife on the planet were different from what you ever seen. A big plus. I now want a bird dragon to go to work. I also want to paint my girlfriend blue, haha. A movie worth paying for at the movies definatel...

This has been the hardest year ever I must say! My onetime friend commited fraud and credit repair fraud on me and pretty much left me for dead with ruined credit, in debt roughly over $100,000 (not kidding) and the government on my tail instead of his. This created me to drop out of school, work more hours at security and less personal training. I forgot to mention the car I got from my so called friend was a lemon. Im paying 20K for a 10K car, WITH problems left in right. So with all that I like to go to my art to kind of take my mind off things but im getting so behind in fees and such I might have to start selling all my stuff including my NIKON D90 . The guy who commited the fraud is still free and ripping other people off as well. I went to the cops and long story short they dont seem to care which shed new light on how I see them- even worse than I thought. Hmmmm. I remain focused and driven anyhow. It will be interesting to see the outcome of this chaos!!! I need all the help ...

This Halloween in San Francisco was an odd one of sorts because im used to either Trick-or-Treating or Being at a ginormous party with people outdoing each other with clever costumes. A few outside influences played a part in my decision though. 1.Money is funny right now even with two jobs so the best party's were out the question. 2.Since San Francisco schnobs killed the Castro street Halloween party there haven't been anything to much the fun and intrique so were forced to look for something to keep the Halloween spirit alive. 3. The people I was accompanied with did not wanna Trick-or-Treat being that they were in there mid twenties haha. So I put us on a few guestlists around the city and we went to them but they were not the same. San Francisco had alot of things going on so the Events were saturated. Nothing was really jam packed and exciting it was more like mingling amongst vampires and zombies. My crew still managed to have some sort of fun though and...
