It's 4:15PM i just got home from the Ironman competition in redondo beach. The weirdest thing happened. I got there at 10:30am, got my ticket and waited patiently among huge bodybuilders for the doors to open. I dressed casually in a short-sleeved collared shirt and jeans when a man walked in front of me once, glanced at me briefly and then walked back a second time attempted to say something. He was in his late 50's with hair to his shoulders hauling a tote. He said hi. I looked at him in confusion. He asked me how long i have been working out, so i answered, "about 3 years". He complimented about my stature and build and proceeded to ask if i considered competing in the next show down in Anaheim. Although i do on planning to compete someday, i told him that I need about 1 - 2 years of work still. So then he inquired about my age, if i did steroids, ethnicity, height and weight and i replied. As I answered, he wrote all this info down on a 3 X 5 card. He told me that I have a good chance in the novice-heavyweight division. I found out later that he was a professional photographer for magazines such as Muscle & Fitness, Muscular Development and other magazines that focuses on the bodybuilding athletes who trained naturally. He then asked if he could take a couple shots for future reference and to send to magazine companies. He wanted to take a picture of me in my tank top, but i stubbornly refused. (Heck no, not in public. I would look like an idiot.) He understood and said if i decided to take on the job, i can name my price. He gave me his business card, shook my hand and entered the building. I don't plan on calling him back, but if he does have something for me to do, he could contact me.

The contest was awesome. Promoters outside the venue handed out free supplements so I took advantage of the situation. Girls dressed in form-fitting outfits are always a good site. I sat in the front-center balcony with unrestricted view of the stage. $10 with student discount is pretty good compared to paying $35 regular. I spent about 2.5 hours there and already knew in my mind who was going to win. No need to name names because you readers out there could probably care less.

Phillip told me to start my own BlogSpot site so i did. Today is Valentine's Day and what more is there to do that put up this freakin site. So Phillip, I hope you are happy. Can I drive the Lamborghini now? What to say... ahhh Akash wants me to write a "one hit wonder" song suitable to be played on 102.7 KIIS FM so we can make millions of dollars. It's not as easy as it sounds like so if anyone wants in, help us out. I was thinking of covering an old song from the 70's-early 80's so the baby boomers now do not know what the heck this song is but still sounds good. For example: Puff Daddy covered Led Zeppelin's Kashmir, DJ Sammie covered Heaven by Bryan Adams, Dixie Chicks covered LandSlide already covered by millions of other artists, Alien Ant Farm covered Smooth Criminal by MJ etc.

Tomorrow is the IronMan competition. I am looking forward to that because it is a bodybuilding contest with lots of 230lbs men with less than 7% fat on steroids dressed only in neon speedos. No I'm not interested in buff men, but their implanted wives who are gonna be there. In addition, the MET-RX girls are gonna be there and hopefully the Pinnacle girls. Julie Shipley, the MET-RX girl who I took a picture with a million times everytime I visit Las Vegas in October for the Mr. Olympia contest is the hottest of all and hopefully she'll be there.

As you all know, I'm on a weight gaining diet right now and from now on, ill update you on how im doing. Although fine dining is my favorite thing to do, "fine" is out of the question because I am told to eat at least 5 meals a day. If I "fine dined", i would be broke. So, an alternative is to go to Costco and buy the frozen chicken breasts and packs of canned Tuna. Though cheap and bland, this will be beneficial to me as it already has been. It is 8:50pm and i have already packed in 4 meals. The next one is sitting in the oven: Rib Eye steak smothered with mushrooms. I dont use the stove much, so for meals i use the oven. Getting back on topic, my initial plan for this diet started on February 3rd, where i weighed 182 lbs. I am 188lbs right now and progressing successfully. My goal is to reach over 200lbs in a little over 3 months. This may sound absurd, but with hard training and diet, it can happen. I dont plan on putting on fat either because it's a turn off for girls. Im not that stupid.

the ring of the oven just called me. go away now.
