I was a late bloomer, I have been learning my generation backwards, if that makes any sense. I spent a lot of time in my youth trying to figure out which end was up, forget knowing what everyone else was doing. I was clueless, and no not the like fucking movie. However, what I can say is that our generation was smart, had good taste and while very needy, emotional and prone to whining, overall we’re a pretty smart and awesome bunch.

The following information is not given out so that you can make fun, so stfu! I used to really enjoy country music, so much so that I listened to virtually nothing else with a few exceptions… those exceptions I made I now see as my brain’s way of telling me there was more to music than a steel guitar and nasal voice.

There’s speed metal and Rage Against The Machine and Sublime and Mos Def and John Legend and Blues Traveler and Live and Incubus and oh hell I could go on and on. I have always had a deep love of music, no talent, but much appreciation. I just had it on the wrong channel, country music never fulfilled my need for expression and oddly music now does that in a profound way for me. The other cool thing is that our generation produces today some of the most awesome entertainment ever created.

For example, Robot Chicken:

You cannot tell me you don’t love it! If you don’t um…do you like country music too? Just kidding, I still like George Strait

One thing I’ve never had an appreciation for was drama. Never once did I enjoy a bit of it unless it was in a movie. Some people have a huge flair for drama and those are the kind of people I try to avoid like the plague…THE PLAGUE!

In about a month I turn 31…several years ago I heard a song by Tim McGraw…STFU!.. called My Next Thirty Years…good stuff. Have a seat and enjoy:

Hug a 30 year old today! Have a good Friday everybody, do something fun this weekend and tell me about it!

I’m 30 years old and I am out of shape. Tomorrow, I’ll be going to 24 hour fitness to join, regardless of my phobia’s I’ve got to get healthier. I don’t have any health problems now and I don’t want that to change. My father and mother both have health problems and they both are large people, I have no intention of becoming part of that population, dammit I’m too young.

I deserve the confidence that I have in myself, and I deserve to be confident when I walk around on this earth, so I’m not wasting any more time. I have always felt there is not enough time in the day, and at this point there still isn’t – but I can sleep when I’m dead.

Hubby’s been working out at work because his job provides a gym, he’s very lucky. Right now, I own a minimal amount of clothes because I don’t want to buy clothes in large quantities while I’m out of shape. So I have nothing but motivation, intention and desire. Let’s hope I can keep this going.

Last night my sister asked if I wanted to go to the Incubus concert with her in August, and I said of course HELL YES!! I’ve NEVER been to a rock concert. Ever. I’m stoked, you have no idea.

So that gives me something to work towards, I won’t tell you how much weight I have to lose, but I can knock a significant dent in it by August 22nd. I’m going to have to get much more familiar with Incubus music than I am now.

I hope you all have a great Friday and tell me, what are you doing to stay, or get, healthy?
