Many thanks to our good friends for the continued care packs! We greatly appreciate it and we look forward to seeing you guys tomorrow at the competition!!!

For those who haven’t tried it yet I highly recommend giving Odyssey a try! Once I tried them I stopped drinking all others…including coffee! I have yet to find another that offers mood enhancement and and overall sense of wellbeing that I get from Odyssey and there is no crash from it ever. Odyssey is mushroom based with ginseng and it’s what I would consider a healthy option for energy. The “222” is indicative of the level of caffeine in it…approximately that of one regular cup of coffee. They also have decaffeinated versions for calm and relaxation as well. So if you haven’t checked them out yet I couldn’t recommend higher….its my own personal go-to! Cheers! 🤜 🤛

Not even gonna act like I forgot about Dre!!! lol

It seems a new apex predator of the modern day Amazon Delivery Guy has evolved…! 🤔 😂

Top of the mornin’ to you! The incoming Spring time brings so much beauty to the garden it’s incredible! This guy let me get within inches to take this pic.

With kind regards to all,

I wasn’t happy here in this pic! I didn’t think it would be good enough!! Turns out…it wasn’t!!! 🤷‍♂️ Yet, it was my best at the time and I should have been happy about that! I’m going to show what I believe to be true strength here in admitting my flaws.

The mental game of competing can be a slippery slope! It seems often times the point is lost in the desire to win! I’m admittedly at fault for that! I push myself very hard. Although I normally choose to speak words of kindness to others; my inner voice is NOT kind to me. I will push myself to the brink of death if I feel compelled to do so. I realize that this is a shortcoming of mine, NOT a strength. Realization of my faults enables me to make the corrections that are needed. I’m always looking to improve, and this needs to include my mindset for everything else to be in sync.

If this strikes a chord with anyone or if anyone else can relate please feel to give your $.02 in the comments! I did not post this pic to be vain in any way! The guy in this pic (ME) was literally riddled with insecurity and negativity at the time! I regret it! I want to help others by offering kindness and empathy for whatever it is that you’re struggling with. It’s too often we’re too proud to admit our erroneous ways or to ask for help; or at least I can speak for myself here when saying that!

I welcome ANYONE to message me if you feel you might need someone to talk to and empathize for your situation without judging you negatively! I’ll be here to listen. 🤜 🤛

“And when it seems like the pressure gets to be too much
I take time out and pray, and ask that you be my crutch.
Lord, I am not perfect by a long shot; I confess to you daily
But I work harder everyday, and I hope that you hear me.
In my heart I mean well, but if you’ll help me to grow
Then what I have in my heart will begin to show.”

With kind regards and best wishes to all,

I spent a long time yesterday working on a post that meant a lot to me. Instagram blocked it due to “copyright infringement” issues. Because I have a professional account I cannot attach any music of my own (that I paid for) to any of my own photos or videos. This happened because I found a way to do it so they blocked it immediately. So basically they control it so that I’m limited to instagram’s small generic section of music!!! Otherwise, I’m in “violation” despite the fact that my message was intended to promote motivation, kindness, and support of those in need! I was NOT trying to sell anything! That’s f**cking weak Instagram!!! 🤬

Here’s a pic that just popped up in my memories from just short of 2yrs back. SPECIAL THANKS 🙏 to my boy for helping me get dialed in at the leanest I’ve ever been! I DEF couldn’t have done it without you! I don’t think the pics really do us justice as to how tight and lean I was that day… I would definitely say I made it into the 4’s!?! Without a scan it’s just wishful thinking and I’ll never really know! Lol 😂 🤷‍♂️ 💪

Here’s a couple different tomato varieties from my garden this morning. Can you guess which kinds….?

REAL TALK!!! lol

*t **h

I got to see this beauty in an upper level parking garage out in Coral Gables yesterday morning. Sadly, I believe he was at the end of his life. It was hard to believe, I was convinced it was a fake decoration someone had dropped or something until I watched it move it’s wings back and fourth. Looked like some Silence of the Lambs type sh*t right there! 😆

So anyways, YES, I actually DID feel bad for a bug!!! lol

PROUD FATHER MOMENT:

My son TMJR is now ranked in the State of Florida in his wrestling division!!! He’s a Sophomore in high school and currently ranked at number 10 in the state in his division, which is the 215lb weight class! He’s not wrestling the little guys!!! Lol 😂

Keep on KILLIN’ IT my boy! You got this! 🤜 🤛

AND THIS BOY IS JUST GETTING STARTED!!! BIGUPS!!! 🙌

There isn’t anything more in this life that I would want for myself than to spend the rest of it with you. Happy TWELFTH ANNIVERSARY my beautiful wife! You and our family are my everything! I thank God regularly for all of our blessings. 🙏 ❤️ 💍
