Sing

There has been a barrage of people on youtube singing. A lot of them good but a lot of them BAD!!! I know they are doing this for fun but if people are watching it just as I am - I'm ridiculing them, laughing, and sharing it with others. I'm not sure if these people think that they are talented and can sing but they are continually posting videos. Because of this I subscribe to see what they come up with next. They actually become internet celebrities and sometimes get thousands of hits per video. If you can bare them - below are some examples. One is a link as they did not allow embedding videos. Good luck and enjoy!

Telephone

I've started to take dance classes at the Edge Performing Arts Center in Hollywood and I'm loving it. I'm hoping to start taking other classes. Below are a couple videos from the hip hop class I take.

Choreography: Ben Allen

Music: Telphone by Lada Gaga featuring Beyonce

Mo'Nique

I LOVE me some Mo'Nique. She is hilarious. Watch her stand up video below from the Queens of Comedy and then watch her work it out on the BET Awards. WERK!

Positives

In my previous post I talk about having my car which was not the highlight of the day. I did however have positives happen.

In the morning at the gym as I was leaving an older man comes up to me and said that I inspired to do push ups as he saw me doing them.

I do push ups after I've done some stomach exercises. It's a great end to my workout.

Later in the evening I went to my first hip hop class at the Edge Performing Arts Center. After class a woman who was taking the class came up to me and said that she was watching me and said how good I was. How sweet!

For those who know me I LOVE to dance and having someone watch me enjoy what I love to do was probably the best compliment I could hear.

Positives. Always think of the positive things of the day and it makes your day worthwhile. With these two highlights of what happened in my day it was a nice day. My car dying was just a minor blip.

Headlights

I know I have a bad habit of leaving my headlights on. I have done this way too many times. Again, it happened tonight after my last hip hop class in West Hollywood.

I did massive texts to those that I knew that lived in the area. Thank goodness for James and Chord who jumped my car.

Lesson - double check my car to make sure lights are off so I'm not in that situation again.

Roscoe

Here are some pictures of Roscoe. I some times walk him or keep him company. He's a Pit Bull. Totally changed my mind about this breed. Roscoe is the sweetest dog however he LOVES to play and I sometimes...well always come home with some new scratch on my body.

Here is what is on repeat on my ipod:

Fitness

We begin a new year and many make the resolution of getting fit or losing weight. As this isn't a resolution of mine as I do go to the gym regularly I'm going to make it a goal to keep up my fitness or improve upon it.

In addition to my weight training I have realized I need to do more of a cardio regimen. I have been slacking but I have picked up. I've started to dance more not just at the 24 hour classes but also at the edge performing arts center in Hollywood. (Thanks to Dean for the gift certificate on my birthday. I'm hooked now!) On an average week I dance 5 times week sometimes doing back to back classes where I'm dancing three to four hours.

I'm also going back to my cardio routine. Depending if I do weights that day I will do anywhere from thirty to forty-five minutes of it. The latter consists of:

• 10 minutes on a stationary bike
• 15 minutes on the ellipticial
• 5 minutes on the rowing maching
• 5 minutes on the stair machine
• 10 minutes running on the treadmill

The times will vary if I am doing a shorter workout.

I hope to also incorporate some other activities like tennis, hiking, and back into running. I didn't run any marathons this year. I did a couple short races but who knows what this year holds.

Sounds like a lot but it's the sacrifice I have to make to keep fit.
