Close minded, with a million viewpoints

Hey all.
Do you find you debate well with people? It doesn't matter the subject for the debate right now, I mean in the sense that, you don't lose your temper and you can actually go about having a meaningful debate.

I know the point of a debate is two sides, each arguing their point, but should the people that are on the opposing team not listen to the ideas that are you bringing to the table?

Enough with the who wins the argument, and more with the bettering of ourselves and our peers.

So for those heated debates between friends, I say this to you. Open your mind, its a crazy world out there, and there is so much that you can learn just from listening to one another. Do you know what your friends thoughts are on global warming? Gasoline prices? or even Politics?

Its as simple as letting your friend speak their mind without grade school interruptions, challenge yourself next time to hold your tongue.

On that bombshell, keep your tires sticky side down.

Alpha Brain

It is sunday at about 5:20pm starting into this. I told my friend Steve I would let him know how my experience went with taking a supplement I recently purchased called "Alpha Brain."

I took them yesterday, and a productive day it was, considering I had a hangover. I took 2 pills when i woke up at 10, followed by breakfast. My hangover and headache were gone at some point after breakfast. Now despite a hectic morning of running around and getting things done. Around 4 in the afternoon I took one more Alpha Brain (max daily consumption it says 1-3 in morning and 1-2 after noon). At this point I felt like working on my air ride truck and needless to say, shit was accomplished. Heres my truck:

 Heres the motor ready to be pulled to get rebuilt:

On my day of Alpha Brain trials, I got the motor of my truck ready to be removed, I disconnected motor and tranny mounts, shifter, removed driveshaft, disconnected fuel and electrical. I drained all the fluids and removed the radiator. I just need to get the engine hoist from work and remove the motor.
Next plans, cut out wheel tubs in firewall to redo and make pretty.

So to sum up my experience as a whole of a day of Alpha Brain;

I was far more focused on my tasks and what i wanted to accomplish. I didn't get distracted by irrelevant things, and I was in a great mood all day. All in all I'm happy with my experience using Alpha Brain, and i'll continue taking it from time to time.


Dreary Sundays

Sunday today, not exactly the best looking outside as far as weather goes. Overcast, humid, and gross.

Restart to the week again tomorrow, monday, the day most people hate haha.

I was thinking about this while I started writing today, do you guys write with music playing in the background or without?

I'm finding that when i'm writing these and i'm trying to be inspired about what to write, I find myself getting distracted with the music I have playing and it clouds my thoughts. It might be a lack of subject on which to write, but also, its hard to jump into something you havent done much of and be able to do it all that well.

To me it seems like it can relate back to working out for me because at the onset of working out, you can't expect to just get instantly jacked, you have to work at it and have patience with it. Comparable to writing, the more you do it, the more comfortable you are with doing it. Repetition and results.

Maybe i'm just talking out of my ass though hahaha. Speculations about human nature, a never ending thought process that will leave you more confused than when you start. (quote - Me, bitches)

I digress, anyways, I just had a healthy whole wheat pasta w/vegetables n chicken and a salad. Yum, i'm thinking for one of my next entrys i'll do a step by step on how to make my "infamous" G.O.C.S. Sandwich.

And on that bombshell, keep your tires sticky side down.

My first blog

Surprise! Ya thats right, I got a blog, look out.

I really can't say for sure how this is going to develop obviously, but heres to hoping it goes well. 

So I decided to start a blog, because I have recently started writing in a notebook, nothing really direct or structured, just me writing. I found that after i wrote, I felt better, my mind was clearer and I didnt feel as stressed about things. Thats mainly the reason why I started this, that, and to share my thoughts and collective ideas with the interwebs.

I'd like to give you some background info about yours truly  so that you can maybe get an idea of where my topics might come from in future entries.  I'm an avid transportation lover, mainly focusing on cars and trucks, but I also find planes, trains and boats very interesting as well. 

I enjoy watching stand up comedy, I have a few comedians that I enjoy and i'll share with you in a future entry for sure. I find the physics behind everyday life very very interesting, being able to take basic things we do each day and know that there is a scientific explanation behind it is really fascinating. I enjoy movies, documentaries, and music too, so i will perhaps do some reviews of things I watch or listen to.

One of my biggest hobbies/interests is cooking. I love to create dishes, and recreate them in a different way. So expect me to do recipes and step by steps of how to make some of my favourites. My passion for cooking, is now a great asset for me, as I've been trying to eat healthier and work out, so I can lose weight. So expect a segement or two on working out as well. 

Well, I think that that is probably enough for my first entry, I will try to do another entry soon, so I hope you'll check back in and read.
