Military press - 135 - 6x3, 1x10


Felt like hot garbage yesterday, through nobody's fault but my own. Slept in later than I wanted, decided I wasn't going to eat before lifting, which wouldn't have been so bad, except by the time I got around to lifting I was starving, so I went and got some breakfast pizza, let that settle, then went at it. Again, it's what I get for being a dipshit.


Onto another rant, though.


Why the fuck do people surround themselves with negativity? Everything they watch, everything they read, the way they talk and act - it's all centered around negativity. And then these same people will decry that the world is out to get them, that nothing good could ever possibly happen to them. And if you present them with an alternate option? A chance to change things? Nope, can't be done. All is shit. The world hates them.


Fuck them. I leave them in my dust. People are sometimes awed by how positive I am about things. I have my moments of negativity, don't get me wrong. But I CHOOSE to surround myself with positivity. The people I read, the things I watch, the things I listen to. Doesn't mean I avoid reality, or anything with an alternate view. But when you really step back, you realize that it really is all about framing. How you choose to view the things that happen to you.


You can accept them as a never-ending current of shit that will constantly be hitting you in the face as you swim up the stream of life, or you can see it for what it is - the inevitable difficulties that will come your way in an otherwise pretty damn good life. Another hurdle with the opportunity for overcoming and growing. Or you can piss and moan some more. Just don't do it around me.
