Week 4: Day 1 - It'll cost you an 'Arm and a Leg!'
Man, what a glorious weekend, I happily turned 25 on Tuesday and had an awesome week follow it!

Week 3: Day 3 - Home is where the "Heart" is!
So two weekends ago I hurt my shoulder playing in my weekly flag football game. Now, this was a week where we were short a few players and depth was thin. Granted I am one of the “bigger” guys on my team I was elected to play Tight End and had to match up against a guy who probably had 40-50 pounds on me and was also athletic (I think he played football in college like myself)....

lazygamertag asked: Do you ever feel like crazy exhausted after riding your bike to a from the gym? I don't have a car anymore and my bike (which is pretty decent) is really the only way I can get around, aside from asking for rides. It's just that I feel like I would be tired as crap by the time I got to the gym to do my weights and cardio.

New Feel - tumblr layout changes
So I have been tweaking with the HTML coding for my layout and still have a little work to do, but this is what I’ve got so far.
