Wedding Day Jitters

    Ok me and my Hunny bunny, Cassie Belle.  Have been working on our wedding for a few months now. Some things I like some things I am indiffrent. Some things I have too strong of an opinion on. But I think that Cassie would agree with me when I say. I want this whole process to be over.  It is the most stressful thing ever. I swear Cassie is going to crack any day now. 

    I am ready to move into our new place. Although I will be there for about two weeks before cassie actually moves in. I am excited to start a new chapter in my life. 

    So my wedding day jitters are not about wanting to get out. But to get the wedding day planned and over.

    

Working for a living.

    Well as I sit here with my two screens on earthday. (Yes I use them both. Right now I have autocad and Revit open. So not only am I using them I am sure I am stressing out the processor on my work computer. ) I was thinking about how my workout progress is going. 

    Today I did Kempo. This is one of the more entertaining workouts. Maybe it is just because I like to fake hit things. Or maybe it is because I have alot of agression twords the air which constantly gets in the way. But I get to punching and kicking and by the time I think to look at the clock. a half hour has easily passed away if not 40 min. I always want more.  This is a 1 hour workout. And the shirts I wear during these workouts can only be worn again after I wash them, as they are drentched on sweat which makes them really stinkey.

     Admittedly this morning I looked at the workout schedule and was dissapointed that it was not the X Stretch this morning. (that is tomorrow.) But after the initial warm up and stretches I was ready to go. I was punching smoother today than normal and felt myself moving more. which would make the punches hurt more if I actually hit you. I don't hit that hard anyway so don't worry. But I felt energetic this morning after my lathargic start. when we were set to do 30 punches or kicks I did 32. when we did our breakes I dade sure to keep my heart rate up and actually did extra jumping jacks. I figure 1 or 2 extra of those will not hurt me. I had a good workout this morning. I cannot complain. Yea. Maybe 4:30 was a little early for me to wake up this morning and my pillow was extra heavy but one I got up and shook off the sleeping fairy dust, I was good to go.

     So I am happy to say my progress is going well. I have hit my 3-1/2 week mark. I am feeling good. I am feeling strong. My kicks are not only higher but stronger and more cordinated.  My punches flow. My push ups have incresed. My pull ups have more than doubled. my weight has dropped, and my energy has gained. Big change from 4 weeks ago.

My P90X Workout review and updates.

    Well I thought I should update my blog. and also tell about the new workout program I am on. This one I hope to keep updated for the full time that I am on this program. P90X. 

    So far I am in my 3rd week.  I have noticed alot of strength and stamina changes.  My finacee has said she has noticed that I am slimmer. So I am getting what I want (strength) and she is getting what she wants (A slimmer Jake).

    So far my workouts consits of alot of pushups and pullups on Mondays(chest and back). and then jumping around on Tuesdays (Plyometrics), Curls, curls, curls and tricept, tricept, tricept on Wednesdays (Arms and Tricepts). and then Massive losses of water followed by Death on Thursdays (Yoga). and then Friday I do alot of squats and 

pull ups. Or in my case falling down and getting back up alot. (Legs and back) Finally Saturdays I learn how to kick you A** if you try to bother me during my workout. (Kempo) and then Sundays are a rest and streach day. and then I start it all over again. But that is only the first 3 weeks. Which I am just finishing up. the 4th week Will be a low impact week. So I will do alot more cardio and keep on the Yoga. 

     Now when I started this I was just on the verge of not being able to make it. So if you have not been the the gym in months. or are overweight I do not reccommend this workout. Find something else or make sure your fully comitted before you invest in these DVDs. 

    They have a test online to see if your are ready for this program. Try it and see how you do. If you pass all of them or only fall slightly short on one maybe two of the workouts. You can handle these workouts. But do not expect to keep up with the people on the video for atleast a few weeks if not more.

   The Next picture is not for the weak of heart or those that are sensative to light or easily blinded. Also those that like to make jokes or any other inapropriate comments Plase do not. 

This is my start up picture. 

     Yes the workout might help the gut. But I do not think it will help the tan or lack there of.

     I will be taking a new picture in a few weeks. Hopefully I can say I look better then.

My Appologies

   I figure in my Last few posts I have said a few harsh words. I am not saying I take back what I have said. But more how I said it. I will still stand that I have my right to my opinions and beliefs. But I want those others to know I respect their opinions also. I think that this is a great country. We all have the right to state our opinions and thoughts. Sometimes that means that what we want does not happen. The popular vote is what we live by. this is suppose to be a country for the people by the people. Not a country for the few by the few. 

 

   I think this makes us stronger. I do not like to see either side get mocked or be mocked. I have seen both the liberal media and conservative media take too many cheap shots at each other. Claiming victory were there was no clear winner or no war in the first place.  

  

   I will openly admit that I am republican, or conservative. But I also admit that I am sometimes wrong or do not have all the facts. But I do hope that I can say that I strive to understand others thoughts that are around me.

   I would like to thank the few that do take the time to read my blog. I try to mix things up. 

Sean Penn... My Children will not be ashamed of me!!!

     I am sick and tired of the gay community and the accept everything I do mentality!

   I do not have to accept you. Same as I don't have to accept everyone as my friends. It does not mean I will attack you. It does not mean that I will rip into your lifestyle. But it does mean I will stand up for what I know is right, when you try to force the opposite upon me.

   

   Where I get upset with Sean Penn. Is in his Oscar Speach where he said those who voted against gay marriage. There children will be ashamed of them. Well if my children are ashamed of me for believeing that marriage is between a man and a woman. Well then My children are wrong and this society that is very quickly spinning out of control would be to blame. 

   We do not have the right to make a choice but not pay the consiquences. I can't drive my car off of a cliff and expect not do die or get hurt real bad. I can't decide to drink bad milk and not expect to get sick off of it. I cannot get caught speeding, Admit that I was speeding and then expect the Judge to let me go with out paying for it in some way shape or form, just because she feels sorry for me. 

   Marriage is between a man and a woman. Sean penn and alot of the hollywood liberals do not seem to know this. But marriage is not just that. Marriage is the start of a family. Start of your family. Sure married couples sometimes adopt. But that is an option or in some cases the only choice after the natural options have been tryed and failed. Gay and lesbien couples cannot produce a family. They can be part of one. I am sure they can be loving parents. But just because they hear the word marriage does not mean that they know what it is and it does not mean they are entitled to it.

   Recently there was a news article that a 9 year old girl dieing of cancer married her 7 year old boyfriend. Alot of people say this is cute, or sweet. The courage of a child with cancer. But these 2 children do not understand what love is. They only know that thier parents are married and that others get married when they find the one they love. Maybe one day Sean Penn will also say that my children will be ashamed of me because I would not let them also get married when they are inbetween the ages of 7 to 9. 

    I will really be a horrible father. I mean how dare I! I will not let children get married. I will never agree to gay marriage. I will not be the one responsable for this worlds currupt behavior. the self destruct mode that we are in. I will no more contribute to the poison of society.

    Now I do agree that the Gay community should have some civil rights and the church has given a statement that I agree with. Things like the ability to go see loved ones.  Recieve health and tax benifits. But the word marriage is a holy one. and should not be tained. 

    

   As I was looking up the LDS churches stance on gay marriages and civil unions. Most of it was filled with Anti-Mormon, greater than though, gay and lesbien bigots. But one I read was a guy claiming to have been in the church for 30 years.  Gone on a mission, went to BYU, ect. You know they type.  He possibly was a know it all ASS then, and he has continued it now, just outside of the church at this time.  It is his goal to indocterinate all us LDS morons in the error of our ways. I am sure just as he found it his duty on his mission and in his church and work. Before ailinating everyone because he "Found the Truth about the LDS church!!!" his Blog is riddled with anti-mormon conspiracy theories. All of wich only have a fraction of truth mixed in with lies and speculation. might I add,. Just like the Gay community protesting the church with thier false doctorines and fabrications.  

This is what I wrote to him. I decided it best not to post it on his blog because it would only send him in an even further in his downward spiral hate for mankind.   

You may have spent 30 years in the church. Gone on a mission. Done all the so called church things. But you never truly understood what the church is all about. Your comments on the church are unfounded and shows your pure blindness to it. You need to re-educate yourself. 

Marriage is not a right. The church is not against the civil unions of gays and lesbians. They should have many civil rights. If your really interested in it. You should go look up the churches official stance. Also It was not in Utah that the law was past. It was in California. The Gay community is just as prominent as the LDS community. So this means more people agree with the LDS meaning of marriage than The Gay community meaning. Also, Do we not have the same right to speak out against gay and you and the Gay community have to speak for it? Do you not respect others opinions? Do you hold yourself above others? Are you a better than me? or in this case. Are you a better than president Hinckley was? I think not. I am sorry in your self pity that you decided to leave the church. But it was always said that those that leave the church will be the ones to fight the hardest against it. You justify your deeds by saying the church is wrong and you are right. You will one day realize that you are wrong. Do you know what the church will do on that day that you come crying and crawling back to them. They will accept you with open arms.

In conclusion. Sean Penn. You need to get off your high horse. Your children and your childrens children will pay for the atrocities you peddle. You recieved your votes for an oscar because of your 

portrayal of a gay man. Not for your ability to act.

The Gay community, Leave me alone. Do not try to force your ways upon me 

or others. You will meet resistance and if continued hatred. neither of which

you are looking for.

Update:

to the comment.

I am not ashamed because the church sends millions of dollars in aid to the poor. I support a church that gives to those in need. I am in support for a law that was voted on before by the people in California that a judge illegally overturned. So they voted on it again and took back their rights. I am in support of people "being divorced" if it was illigal in the first place. I support those that fight for thier right. I do not mind if the gays fight for rights as they do have that right. But Marriage is not a right. The supporters of gay Marriage do not know what marriage is about they are a bunch of bleeding heart, give everyone what they want and don't deserve cry babies. 

If your child is gay, you should turn your back on them. But if you don't like it. It does not mean you have to support them in it. I do not support gay marriage, I have that right. Gays and liberals would take that away from me if they could so so that they can get what they want.

I will not and cannot tolerate gay marriage. It goes against everything natural. Gays are only allowed to adopt and start a family because we as a society allow girls to become mothers at 14. We as a society teach ourselves not to be a family.

The church in its statement about gay Marriage said they were not anti-gay but pro family. Gay people will try to use this pure term against them. But at the heart of it. A gay couple is not a family. They cannot naturally start a family. You do not truly get both sides of the family. I do not say that gay people are or would be bad parents. In many cases they are possibly better parents to an adopted child than the ones that gave them up. But that does not give them the right to marriage. Otherwise we might as well let all the pedofiles, animal lovers, children, ect. Get married also. Because once Gays get the right one or all of those will be next. Everyone has an agenda. Not just the gays or the blacks or the liberals, or any other group. I stand for my rights. The rights that this country gave me. I am ashamed of anyone that sheds their beliefs to make someone happy. I am ashamed of those that consider themselves religious but still support this cause. I am ashamed of they gay community for being so selfish. Spending all this time and money to make gay marriage legal. When there are starving children that they could help. I am ashamed of those that will try to take away my rights and try to tie my tounge so that they can pass a law that very little of the people in this country support and then they attack me when I do or say anything. I am ashamed of those that try to call me a bigot because I do not believe in thier cause. Shame, Shame, Shame on you all.

Paying for and Planning a wedding? I have no good advice.

    Ok so recently I got enguaged to a wonderful woman. We are now getting married in june. 

   Now comes the hard part. I always heard of all the fun things about weddings. Especially the wedding night! Wink Wink. But I have not ever seen in any of the wedding movies the part where you feel like your pockets are empty and your sanity dropping like a rock. I know what is going threw my head. So I feel Sorry for my fiancee Cassie, Because she has the hard end of the deal. Traditionally the Man just has to show up to where the soon to be bride tells him to. She Gets all the inital stress I guess you would say.

   

But now where my pockets begin to feel empty. I did not realize that everyone else in this country that gets married was so rich. I mean honestly after a ring and a honneymoon. I figure I will have to mortgage my house that I have not bought yet.  People throw the word thousands out there, like it is nothing. "Oh how much is this?" says I. To which they reply "Oh only a few thousand." I usually turn pale and have to catch myself before I faint. I hope that is how most guys feel, so that I can say that I am not that big of a dork. Also I hope that I hide it well. I know cassie is trying to keep things resonable. 

Oh I am driving myself crazy.

     So recently I have been looking all over the internet for cheap deals on anything I might want. Recently I have found a auction website called Swoopo.com. I just tend to watch it. I have seen some people get really good deals and others I think got screwed. But I just keep watching . thrying to see if I can find a pattern. Something that will help me to get that really good deal before I jump in head first. 

     

I have found so far that you need to watch it like a hawk. You need to find the things you want. Do not just bid on everything. Early mornings seems to be a good time. But you have to be willing to spend some money before you even get the deal. Swoopo charges $0.75 each bid. Then if you win you pay what ever the price was when you finally win. Sometimes it in extremly cheap. Othertimes I have noticed that people are paying the same price or more as if they went to a store.

    

So I sit and wait. Hopeing I will find that place to bid. that I will make a great deal and win a great prize. Oh how I am driving myself insane. I better get back to it though. I have to find out all the otherways I have nissed out on something expensive for a cheap price.
