Frustration

Is it a tide thing I wonder? Could it be the deficit? I don’t know the reason, but I do know that this week has been full of a lot of frustration. Normally I am a pretty mellow person. That might come as a surprise given my online passion with competent information, but laid back I am.

This week, for whatever reason, I have been faced with constant irritations, stupidity of other people, physical set backs, and lifestyle WTF’s? It really is one of those weeks where you want to shake the s**t out of someone.

note: this is all in good humor and lightness

Things I could do without right now

  • Becoming vegan or vegetarian for internet profit. Really? Your information is so weak you have to appeal to that type of advertising strategy.
  • Hiding behind nobility when you are just scared of being rejected. It’s that whole “reject them before they reject me” way of thinking.
  • Pandora coming to the conclusion that I like The Shins. 4 different stations now have made repeated attempts and I am not going to concede. I don’t like the shins. I don’t care how much Natalie Portman protested their awesomeness in her cracked out state. I don’t like The Shins and I am okay with that.
  • North Carolina Tax Laws
  • “Bad Foods”
  • Thinking that blogging about your own training makes it okay that you don’t train anyone else. You sit in your house all day, it is what it is. Just own it. You are an internet marketer. See you at the next Frank Kern event.
  • Yogurt containers are too small. That isn’t a meal. It’s a bite. One spoonful and the whole damn thing is gone and then I am sad thinking “That’s it? That is all I get, screw you Jamie Lee Curtis and your tiny Activia Cups.”
  • Referring to Jamie Lee Curtis as the “Activia Lady.” WTF, did no one see Trading Places, one of the best comedies of all time? You at least saw Arnold getting aroused in True Lies eh? Shame on you.
  • Unfollowing me on Twitter cause I didn’t follow you back, and then giving me a lecture about it. Why should I follow you? Did you talk to me? Here is a big big hint: Talk to me. Say hello. I have never not followed someone back who said hello. Otherwise I am not following just anyone because I don’t care to see your 50 posts per hour about a product your are selling that I don’t want.
  • Judging “Fit Pros” for all the bs you hate and then kissing up to them for more website hits. It’s noticed. Tsk tsk. For the record there is only a few people I think lack nobility in the industry and would never touch with a ten foot pole. Other than that I choose to do my thing and let people do theirs. When you make ranting blogs or articles over and over again or make yourself vocal on “hidden” forums, you can’t exactly network with them later now that you are trying to get somewhere. Shady.
  • Selfishness. It is simple and happens to everyone, but does it really take much to say thank you when someone goes out of their way? A friend of mine just told me this ridiculous story. In short, you know who you are, and they sucked for not saying thanks. That being said, work on a “Demand Respect” system and cut down on these chances of treatment. IE: Kick them to the curb, cut the dead weight. I know I just did.
  • The fact that I check Facebook a few times a day now. Dammit. Oh, but I did officially kill my Myspace profile that I haven’t used in a year and I think my chance for STD’s went down by 20% from that single act alone.
  • My DVR deciding it wants to cut of almost an entire hour of So You Think You Can Dance.
  • Thinking age defines anything. I will admit being previously guilty of this, and perhaps the ironic thing is it takes age to know that it doesn’t define anything. Maybe I am getting to old to keep up with my own hypocrisy?
  • How protein pancakes will just change their mind about being fluffy, just because.
  • Movies with creepy kids. Seriosuly you are ruining children for me.
  • Message board politics. Yeah my lack of presence is for a reason and likely will become less and less till an alternative is found.
  • Passive aggressiveness. You got beef cow? Just say it. Moo.
  • My dog having food allergies, really?
  • Stealing my stuff. Come on you can get more creative than that and according to most I have the writing skills of a 2nd grader anyway. In the future though could you do me a favor and write “The above work was stolen and not credited in anyway from Leigh Peele.” Kthxbye
  • Oversimplifying things. Sometimes you can simplify so much that you take it too far in the other direction. Yes, the answer is most of the time simple, but that doesn’t mean optimizing can’t be discussed, individuality doesn’t exist, or that there aren’t multiple methods of solving a problem. You end up becoming narrow minded in the other direction, and that just creates a different kind of dogma.

Whew, now I feel better.

That Training Life

Next weekend you will have the official layout of my diet and training program. Why not this week? I am still debating what type of strategy I want to use given that my schedule is undergoing a change.

I am taking up a full time position out of town for the next 3-4 months. This changes a lot for me, but I can’t pass it up.  This doesn’t really change much online, but it will be a different daily scheduled and 3 hour commutes multiple times a week.

When life throws you a curve ball, you learn to get better at hitting them out of the park.

Yeah, that was cheesy.

Song of the Post:

Imogen Heap is putting out her new record soon “Eclipse.” She is not only talented, but perhaps one of the most precious seeming creatures on the face of this earth.  I definitely have a talent crush on her. If not familiar with her work I recommend starting with “Frou Frou – Details” and “Imogen Heap – Speak For Yourself.”

The song I am choosing is off of “Speak For Yourself.” Usually “Hide and Seek” is the perfect  gateway drug, but I am going a different course today with “The Walk.” It is in my top 20 of all time hot songs. It may not seem that way at first because it lacks that obvious “Let’s Get It On” directness. However, there is no denying that these are some of the sexiest lyrics on the face of this earth.

My particular favorite moment starts at 1:35. “You’re as close as it gets without touching me. Oh now don’t make it harder, than it already is. I feel a weakness coming on.” If you have ever stood so close to someone, but not kissed them when all the fire and intensity was there to do so, nothing like it.
