Green Monster

Green Monster

2 Handfuls of Spinach (as much as you can jam into your blender)

3 Fresh Strawberries (sliced)

3 Slices of Frozen Bananas

1 Fresh Pineapple Spear

1/4 Cup of Water and Almond Milk

1.5 tsp Chia Seeds

1/2 Scoop of Vanilla Protein Powder

1. I blended up the first 5 ingredients first. I wanted to keep some sort of substance to my chia seeds.

2. I added the chia seeds and vanilla protein powder AFTER everything was smooth.

3. I enjoyed my green monster as a lunch (or a preface to my lunch) after HIIT

Thrice - Eleanor Rigby (The Beatles Cover)

as a treat: my favorite The Beatles song.

He Deserves This...

Steve Jobs 1955-2011

He was a legend. His impact will forever touch all of our lives, daily.

He was an innovator in all fields.

He believed in things no one else believed in.

He believed in himself.

Take a moment out and thank Steve Jobs.

Recognize his life.

Acknowledge his way of living.

Acknowledge his way of thinking.

But realize that his way is not your way.

He just found his way.

It worked.

find your way.

and challenge life.

Rest in Peace, Steve Jobs.

You deserve this break after eons of pavement, paved.

sometimes things are good raw

and unedited.

like emotions...but not really. sometimes things need to be edited. sometimes things need to be censored. you're not going to tell a stranger that your boyfriend just dumped you. you're not going to tell the cashier at Vons that you just lost your house to the bank. you're not going to tell your mailman that your sister died in a car accident.

or maybe if we were all that open... the seeds of trust will be planted. and the world will be covered in fields of beautiful, blooming trust.

elaborate.

beautiful.

or maybe no one should put anymore faith in humanity.

Me Vs. The Pavement

no i didn't "kiss" the pavement as I went down. quite the contrary actually. my feet were angry... and tried for about an hour to beat the pavement to death. my legs help support it. and my core helped balance myself for the beating... the pavement won.

and my body felt the consequence.

today was my first "long run" it was a consecutive hour. of myself, my chemical romance and blink 182. of course the new album, neighborhoods and danger days.
