Do As You Will

Posted on March 28, 2018 by Monte

I decided a few months ago to come up with a workout that is Upper Body Only. The only reason you need your legs for this one is to go over and get the weight you want to use and either stand or sit to do the workout. I have found the majority of workouts, no matter what they claim, are always in some manner using your legs. There’s either Squats with weights or lunges, or both. Well, sorry to say, my knees have seen way better days. In fact, the right knee has already been replaced and the left knee now is just waiting for the money to be saved up so it too can be replaced. I asked around to see if anyone wanted to join in and be in the video with me. Making it a little more fun when people watch and try it. What I quickly learned is the groups I was in would not allow me to post that offer, telling me is was soliciting and that would not be tolerated. OK fine! I kept at it anyway and I have a really good 30-minute upper body only workout all set up and designed.

I don’t want to make money off it or anything I just want to help others in the same boat as I am. Still, I could not get any interest on the idea from anyone. I know there are others like me that would like to do this one. So, I’m still not giving up, I’m just doing it on my own. I have the music picked out and the script mostly written. I could use a good video person to help me out, but, I can’t post anyplace to ask for that. Since there’s no money involved for me on this I cannot pay some to help. THAT seems to be a big negative to get any involvement from others on this. But that’s OK, I’ll keep going. I seem to get a lot of questions about it though, like, what scientific study or back up do you have to substantiate your claim that this will work? Wait, why so deep and skeptical? Or I get asked, there are other workouts on You tube for upper body, why should I do yours? I tell them they probably shouldn’t since they need to ask.

Too many people want the quick fix in life and before they start, they want to have an idea of how they can sue me or something if they don’t get in shape from this. It’s like any other workout, if you DO IT you WILL get results. Really, all I’m saying to people is that it worked for me so give it a try and see if it works for you. There’s NO MONEY involved to try it, so why look for a recourse on it? Come on people, get with the program of life and stop looking for the angles and payback effect, just enjoy. Do as you will and not because someone said to. Problem is no one takes things at face value anymore. People always have to find the angle and if they can’t, they invent one. The CYA club doesn’t need to be a way of life for everything. So even though I get told I’m infringing on this or that and someone else already came up with one and be careful what you wear so no one thinks you’re “Representing” It’s toooooo much people, relax, enjoy, don’t read into everything, not everything has an angle to it. Do something or not, just Do As You Will. Life is so much easier that way. Stress is just Mess, who needs that?

Remember to drop me line with any questions, ideas, or if you need help with anything. Also, if you would like to help people like I do, let me know and let’s talk. I’m always looking to build my team!

Vegan Time!?

Posted on March 23, 2018 by Monte

Needed to side step just a little and speak out about nutrition a little bit.

OK so I just had to say a few words about being Vegan. I’ve heard all kinds of pros and cons and yet not one is 100% proof to be or not to be vegan. I’ve even heard all about how “Doctors say the human body was never meant to eat meat in the first place!” Well then why do we have the teeth for it instead of the ones like herbivores that are all flat, no points for tarring meat? And why then are animal so dang tasty!? LOL! I’m sure someone will read this one day and think me to be a complete uncaring person towards animals. Well let me say this, a vegan claims there is no reason to kill a living animal to eat. Saying things like “How would you like if someone ate your spouse or children?” There’s always the extremist on any matter. Fact is, even plants are a living thing, so a Vegan is still killing something to survive.

I started to think about this when I saw a remark on FB about a person that had headaches all the time, tired and sleepy, ached everywhere, Until,,,,, they turned to be a Vegan and now they have no headaches, no stress, not overweight or tired and all with out killing some poor little animal. The responses on that were to die for laughing, but so true. Some of them were “Dear Vegetarians, If you love animals so much and don’t want to see them die, Please stop eating all their food! Thank-you! “ and “I don’t understand vegans at all, if you don’t like meat or won’t eat meat then WHY are you making Non-meat products Look and Sound like meat!?” and “Vegan is fine if that’s your thing. See how I accepted your lifestyle choice? Now show us the same courtesy and let us meat eaters eat our meat! Thank-you!” These are all actual responses. I had a good laugh and a few remarks of my own. Meat was, is and always will be something the human body was ment to have.

Carnivores have even been accredited to placing certain animals on the endangered list. Yeah, we did all it all by ourselves. All the wild animals out there chasing down and eating their prey had nothing to with it. And what about Dinosaurs? Did we eat them all!? I sure could go for a good Brontoburger or maybe some fried Tridactyl. LOL! Wait, a nice thick Stegosaurus Steak! Mmmmm Good! I’ve worked up an appetite now so I’m going to go kill, I mean get something for dinner. In closing, please remember the famous words once said by a die hard true Vegan, “There is NO reason to go hunting and kill an animal to eat. Just go to the store and pick up something at the butcher’s market!” Umm, do they know where that meat came from? LOL! Bon Appetit!

History IS the Teacher

Posted on March 12, 2018 by Monte

I was going through some old stuff laying around in a bin on my computer table at home and came across a few flash drives that I wasn’t even sure what was on them. The first one was blank, so were the next two. The last one though had some interesting things on it. I guess the name flash drive was perfect since it was a Flash from the past. My past life in bits and pieces of when I was an HISD drone. Looking over the write ups and mass confusion of directives and rules and so on did not turn out the be the downer I thought was going to happened. The more I read the more I realized how wrong I was for being upset about it all when it happened. If I had just played the puppet and went along with all the garbage they tried to feed me, I would not have ended up getting let go of.

I know, everyone always says they are innocent and the write up is stupid and ridicules. OK, you be the judge on this one example. There are many to choose from but this one really shows the level of “WTF” that I dealt with on a daily basis in that dept. It was during the storm “IKE” and we were all on a 12 hour 7 days a week schedule to get the schools back up and running. I was asked to head up a team on Saturday and I said OK fine. I then asked the parts person if he was working Saturday cuz I need some stuff and then I will know to get it all on Friday and store it in my truck over night or just pick it all up Saturday. He wasn’t sure and said he’d get back to me. 20 minutes later my stupidvisor , I mean supervisor, called me over and said I was suspended for 3 days. He would not tell me why, only that I would find out upon my return now go home and think about what you did. I walked way thinking…”Think about,,,????….. That I did??”

Have you figured it out yet? Well upon my return and the meeting to go over what it was I did, I learned that I was suspended for ….Drum Roll >>>>> Impersonating a Supervisor! By doing this I created a hostile work environment. Confusion among my peers as to whom is in charge, and a total lack of respect to my actual supervisor by acting in a complete unprofessional manor with disregard to policy! Yes, my head was spinning too, thinking Whaaaaaat!? They then added to clarify their charges that ONLY a Supervisor can question an employee’s schedule. By asking that person if they were working was a direct violation of that policy. Their continued talking to try and convince me of my wrong doing went on for about 30 minutes. It was really quite funny when I think about it now. The word play was amazing! So, tell me, was I wrong and needed to be suspended!? I have many write ups I can talk about but perhaps later. If you’d like to hear more on “As the HISD turns” Just ask and I’ll tell ya!

For now, I just want to point that we don’t always have the answers to the reason for something being done and so what do we do? We get upset, angry, lash back, mad,,,, the list goes on. Instead, sometimes it’s better to just roll with it and deal with more pressing issues. Take what is thrown at you and GROW with it instead of wasting time being negative. Remember ,, Listen and Learn NOT Spout off and Burn!

A Single Word Misunderstood!

Posted on March 3, 2018 by Monte

So, let’s talk for a moment on a single word. One we use pretty much every day of our lives. Some take it as a stumbling block, others, a challenge. Either way this word is used and misused all the time. What’s the word you ask? Its “Impossible” It scares people, makes some angry, some take it as a defeat without even trying. This is probably the number one word used throughout history to justify NOT doing something. Lucky there were some that took it as a challenge and worked right through it, not letting it be the end to their vision. I say, the word is really 2 words in one and should be looked at it in that way.

My Son once said to me he was going to get a shirt that said, “Nothing is Impossible, I just haven’t tried it yet!” Taking that into consideration, have you figured out what the 2 words are? It’s simple really, break off the first two letters of the word and you have Im Possible or I’m Possible. Now it doesn’t seem so scary of a word at all, that will cause you to stop something simply cuz someone told you it’s Impossible. There really isn’t anything Impossible as I see it. There’s only the limits one places upon themselves. And yes, of course there are the Extremist out there that will say something real intelligent like “What if a person has no legs at all because of an accident or something? They couldn’t just get up and run anyway without legs! So, it IS Impossible then for them to get up and run no matter how much they WANT too!” Well think about it. The answer is still YES, it’s NOT Impossible. Running is only the ability to move fast on your own. I’ve seen people get some pretty good speed using their hands. OK OK , same Person ,,, “what if they lost their arms too? Huh!? Then what?” I still say the same thing, It’s NOT Impossible when adding one word, Robotics.

Anything can be “What IF” to death. What my Dad always liked to say when he heard the IF word was, “Yeah? Well what IF a Bullfrog had wings? He wouldn’t bump his ass on the ground!” I always loved that saying. OK OK I’ll let the “IF” go for now. I’m sure you get my point. Don’t let people say you can’t do something cuz they feel it’s impossible. It’s only impossible to them and so if you do it, they will look bad and probably feel stupid. Most people don’t want to be out done so they pull out that word and use it like a sword to cut you down. Through time I’ll be talking about this word again along with others that keep a person’s mind spinning. I think a good topic for next time would be “Defeatist Attitude” It’s not a real thing it’s all in your mind.

I believe we all are in a tunnel that we create, knowingly or not. Those who stick to the journey will one day leave that tunnel and live the life meant for them. Too bad so many get so used to the dark, they just stay there, feeling it safer that way. It’s like being a child, forever. Remember when you laid there in your bed at night, all curled up with covers, barley peeking out, feeling safe that way. You see the light in the next room but too afraid to get out and walk over. I want to help people get out of their tunnel and be who they should be and live the way life was meant to be lived. God didn’t put us here to live individually, we are put here to live together and help each other to become what we should become. Not live in that Dark tunnel but live in the light that he has provided. Oh, I still have a lot to learn but I’ve gotten far enough now that I can see what’s ahead and I’m loving it! Remember, this journey I speak of to get out of the tunnel is NOT Impossible.
