So I discovered something WEIRD!
So When I flex my Pectorals/shoulders I get this small popping sensation from my pecs to under my armpits. Its the equivalent of someone tapping me really quick but spread out over the specified area. This all started yesterday. Maybe it has something to do with my 40 day challenge. DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THIS IS?

STRETCH!!!
One thing about doing a daily workout regimen is that you need:
1) Rest
2) A lot of water
3) Energy/muscle supporting nutrition
4) to STRETCH!
With your muscles fighting to repair itself and put itself back into place it gets tighter. Nothing good comes out of starting a high impact workout without warming up and stretching. It’s a big risk for injury!
Stretching now…

Scratch that...
I’m exhausted… Right after work I had a fight fest with grandma and grand aunt that turned into a cry and compromise symposium after I had to collect myself suck it up and sit them down to have a heart to heart. All this was over how things should be done around the house and regarding moms care when she comes home from the hospital. (a little background on mom: she just had a kidney...
Anonymous asked: Do you think "fake" looking women, or natural looking women are better looking? By fake... I mean like, fake nails, blonde hair, a ton of make-up, fake tan, etc.

Work... x_X
Today ended up being a pretty hard day… at the end of my route I felt bewildered like Pinocchio when he was in Pleasure Island where all the kids turn into donkeys… of course I was the innocent meter reader trying to do my job and instead everyone turns into asses cuz I happen to be in their way taking 10 seconds of their precious lives…Whatever, I’ll just take my nap. x_X
