Ok here it is however I should be sleeping but I care about you. It was a 12 hour day today and lucky for me I was not driving the car. If I did drive (five of us and we have two cars) yes ladies and gentlemen of the jury, Little Neddy (from the movie “Three Amigos”) would be sleeping. We need to thank our lucky stars that Jonathan A.K.A J-Money was literally in the driver seat because he drove us to the gym. As tired as we were he and I went. I am so thankful that we did not take the easy way out and not go to the gym. Jonathan and I don’t workout together, but we do inspire each other. It is very important to have somebody to motivate you, to push you to do a better job at work. The point is this; if you are in a career that you don’t like then that attitude is going to infect the rest of your co-workers. Most of you don’t have the 1950’s 9-5 jobs, no we have 10 or more hour a day jobs. I personally enjoy working with the people on this project and that truly helps since we do work long hours. The flip side has been working with people that you would rather not be in the same room with. When you are in that situation you need to find a positive of some sorts. Personally when it comes down to that type of situation my outlet is the gym. I have one rule on the road and that one rule is that I stay away from “adult beverages.” I would rather take out my frustrations in a gym lifting, running, or getting pushed around by Nigel the personal trainer at Gold’s Gym. Focus on what you do enjoy about your job rather then what you don’t enjoy.
I want to give a quick thank you to a great friend of mine Chris K. Chris is a long time friend and was the best man at my wedding. I would say Chris is the brother I never had. He and I have gone through very similar situations of the dreaded divorce with in the past year. We try and keep each other motivated by hopefully realizing that we are better then the women we married. Chris started writing his blog and to me very cool knowing somebody who has a passion and wants to write about those things. I have added his link to his blog to the left of the page under "My Blog List. Chris gave me some great advice about being a blogger and that was, this should be fun (I am some what paraphrasing) and not a job. Well for me my goal was and still is to be a motivational speaker so as the Chinese proverb states “Find a job that you love and you will never work again.”
Today’s poll comes from the conversations I have been having with my mother. I currently do not have health insurance and with the recent passing of a wonderful friend “Mac” it was a huge awaking for me. I could not afford to be in a hospital right now. My point though is that I go to the doctor for the most part once a year for a check up, and when I did have my insurance I was taking Nexium for my acid reflux disease. Right now the cost of health insurance is insane so I would rather be lucky then spend the money, stupid I know but that is how I roll. Anyway I want to see how many of you are in the same or similar boat as me.
Ok off to dream land but here is some advice for you (free of charge) and that is DON’T POKE THE BEAR.

T, I have always been in awe of how dedicated you are to the gym, your job, friends, but most of all Conner. LOVE the blog, and I find myself looking forward to reading it. It's my way of staying in touch, and it reminds me of your spirit, your determination, your efforts to create positive forces in your life and Conner's. In doing that, you create positive influences for others including me. Just thanks. Thanks all. Thanks.
