Don’t TOUCH my…
Welp, it’s been an interesting past few days…my apologies for not being able to blog..so much is going on….In the span of two weeks, I decided to go ahead and launch my clothing line again, and then decided to hold off …AGAIN. Shit ain’t easy….no one ever said it was….but, I need to be careful…..take things step by step and make sure I have a Business Plan outlined. Did you know that 90% of all start-ups fail because they dont have a Business plan? Yep….it’s fact. I had a plan when I started The Cute Group….but that was four years ago…and We’re still holding strong…..*web design, graphic design, programming, scripting, photography, and hosting for those that didnt know* ……and dont try to call the 1877 number to “say what’s up”…that’s not cute…:thumbsdown:….shit costs…*giggle*…that wasnt for the homies…that was for the select few who get here through BlackCuties.com.
Anyhow, this past Saturday was my daddy’s birthday *RIP*, so Incog and i decided to head to the beach and walk Santa Monica Promenade….after that, we decided to catch Four Brothers :thumbsup: and Red Eye :thumbsdown: . And today…I went to the gym….which leads me to my topic of the day….:typing:
As i walked in to the gym, i was greeted by staff who now know me as “CE” since one of them decided to play detective and look me up on the internet…*waving*…:grouphug:…I like Sunday training sessions because it means there will be less people there and it’s a lot quieter…..:thumbsup:
Anyhow, I walked over to the admin office, said hello to everyone, and asked my trainer where he wanted me to start. And of course, he said Cardio….WOO HOO! :duh: So i walked out of the office and over to the set of *almost empty* treadmills. There was one being occupied by a black man who was bopping his head something vicious…if it wasnt Ludacris :thumbsup:, it was probably 50 cent :thumbsdown: blaring in his headset. The machine i chose was on the end…away from the black man who was now starting to hum….It was a quiet little spot…..i liked it…I added some incline, set my speed to a low 2 and prepared to get my heartrate up…and then all of a sudden a black man comes up behind me…he has a thick accent…very definitive…..
Man: 2, 4, 24…we’re gonna get you going…2 minutes walk, 4 minutes jog, 24 minutes run……
Me: *turning around thinking “Is this man talking to ME?”*
Man: Yep….2,4,24
Me: Me?
Man: Yep….2,4,24…come on…do it…let’s go…
Me: Are you serious? *looking around for my trainer who I could see through the huge glass windowed office*
Man: Sure am….come on……let’s go….
Me: *looking at my panel…* I just got here…..*looking at his shirt franticly to see if it had a Bally’s Logo*
Man: So? We’re gonna do it…..this is how i get to 26 miles a day….I stay in shape…come on….
Me: *thinking - “maybe if i just ignore him” *
Man: *reaches across the two metal bars that seperated my machine from his*:crowded:
Me: Is he really gonna…..:pissed:
Man: *increases the incline*
Me: He cant really be….:pissed:
Man: *increases the speed*
Me: HOLD UP….*flies backwards off the machine*…
At this point…..my trainer comes out and asks me if i’m okay….I look at him like “NIGGA WHERE WERE YOU??” Meanwhile, the crazy black man increases his OWN speed to sprint….:wtf:
Me: I’M DONE…NEXT MACHINE, PLEASE….I’M COOL….*shaking hand and head - thinking :wtf: just happened here??*
So here i sit…….tired as hell…..a little skinnier *did i mention my jeans fit HELLA lose now?* and ready to start studying for the GRE. God….help me pass. :pray: I got two months….I should have been studying before…but of course, the concentration wasnt there…..
Things are still good at the JOB praise God..and I will STILL be doing the CaliBlogger website as soon as we get some cool domain name ideas and enough pull…cause I aint about BSin a domain name or putting together a website that wont be plugged or used. If you want it….ya gotta let me know.

Courtney, who the hell was the guy though? I mean, he just comes out there and just tampers with your treadmill setting without explaining who he is. I would have stepped right off the moment he raised the level. My nutritionist used to do that to me, but at least I knew she was there to work with me. Not some stranger.
Glad to know you liked 4 brothers. It was a bit far fetched, but an enjoyable view. I also voted for you over the weekend for best black photo blog dear! Good luck… on everything.

Same sentiments as JQ. Sheesh, I feel you though with working out. Why are you so hard on you so hard on yourself though? Walk 2-3 miles every other day, and you’ll be fine as far as cardio. Then on some other days, so weight training. Sheesh!! Running for 24 minutes. Woman… I’m not going there. :spit:
