I definitely went Friday, did mostly warmup and low-weight reps while hanging up with Ed. Saturday I did a much more aggressive set and had to take off Sunday because of work.<br /><br />But this week my schedule is much clearer so I got a good start on the week today by doing some core exercises.<br /><br />I've totally neglected my core and it shows. Stomach is huge in proportion with the rest of my upper body. The thing with your core is that you can't tone that shit overnight. It takes time and a lot of painful exercises. So I did dumbbell side lifts, barbell twists and some straight up and down wood chops.<br /><br />Core is good, sometimes it doesn't work up the sweat you want so I did 20 minutes on the elliptical to feel refreshed.<br />

Scheduled for a 16-exercise set and I made it through 9 or 10, which was my third set of bench press. My chest felt like it was going to explode.<br />
<br />First bench set was a 10-8-5-3-2 with inclining weights.<br /><br />Then 3-x-10 on the hammer strength incline<br />3-x-10 pec flyes<br />3-x-10 reserve flyes (rear delts)<br /><br />Back to the bench for 3-x-8 at 155<br /><br />3-x-10 pullovers with a shoulder top<br />3-x-10 sit down row<br /><br />
Back to the bench for another 3-x-8 at 155<br /><br />Back to hammer strength include for a 3-x-10<br />Then a dumbbell include at a 10-8-5-3-2 inclining weights.<br /><br />And I tapped out before the fourth set of bench.<br /><br />So I took 8-16 off and did light work on 8-17, mostly cardio and a few sets of dumbbell curls and other band work.<br /><br />8-18 I did a 7-exercise set. Two sets of Lat pulls, barbell curls, dumbbell curls, sit down row, upright row, shoulder shrugs. Good stuff.<br /><br />Took off 8-19 and did about 30 minutes of cardio 8-20 and prepping for a superset Saturday tomorrow. Hopefully I'll reach 10 exercises.<br /><br />Coreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03520011901327267531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937638.post-62076915501955038712015-08-14T18:10:00.000-05:002015-08-14T18:10:26.567-05:00Workout 8/12 & 8/14I damn near forgot what I did on the 12th.<br /><br />I think I did 21-22 minutes of elliptical and some hammer strength incline press work. Place was getting kind of crowded so I didn't do more.<br />
<br />Opted to take Thursday off and enjoy some sushi with Karla. It's weird to be somewhat attracted to a woman 16 years older but she's still looks good and is keeping it together.<br /><br />Went back to the gym today and thankfully Ed's back off his vacation. I always feel like I have a better workout with Ed around. He had a client so he could help me out but I did some back work until I felt something tweak.<br /><br />First circuit (All 15 - 12 - 10 with weights moving up)<br /><br />Lat Pulldowns<br />Bent Over Barbell Row<br />Shoulder Shrugs<br /><br />Second circuit<br /><br />Sit down Row<br />Close-grip Lat Pulldowns<br />Cable Pullovers<br /><br />I struggled with the form on the pullovers and in my second cycle through the weights I felt something tweak. I don't fuck with back pain so I stopped. <br /><br />Saturday should be a big deal. I have 12-15 exercises on the docket. Mostly chest and arms stuff.<br /><br />Coreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03520011901327267531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937638.post-87184535243526751722015-08-12T13:58:00.000-05:002015-08-12T13:58:11.408-05:00Workout, 8-11-2015On Tuesday, I was happy/sad to see my cousin leave. Happy because I need to get my shit straight and get back to eating better and working out more. The all-you-can-eat NY Strip at Texas Cattle Company on Monday wasn't my smartest idea.<br /><br />Sad because he's my cousin and one of my best friends. I'm glad I get to see him each year and it's good to be close to family.<br /><br />But anyway, I knew I needed to ease back into my workouts with a push/pull cardio day so I did the following<br /><br />6 min elliptical + 250 meters rowing x 2<br />6 min elliptical + 400 meters rowing.<br /><br />Probably should have grinded through to get 500 meters.<br /><br />After that I did two sets of shoulder shrugs with 50-lb dumbbells and two sets of shoulder front raises with the barbell (45 pounds). Probably should have done some rear delts too.<br /><br />Coreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03520011901327267531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937638.post-69536615930662627082013-01-24T23:39:00.002-05:002013-01-24T23:39:39.196-05:00Wake Up!It's been two days of this post-announcement funk that I've been in. Yesterday I walked around like a man without a country. I was dazed, confused and completely lost.<br /><br />Today has been a little better, still very frustrating, but at least I went on the offensive.

My time at ESPN appears to be coming to an end here in the next few weeks. I'm hoping I can maybe squeeze one more signing day show appearance out of the guys but that looks unlikely.<br /><br />I'm a little upset I guess but overall I'm thrilled that I was part of the machine for almost three years. It was truly a dream come true. Wearing the letters, appearing on the networks...it was everything I thought it would be.<br /><br />Something will come up sooner than later I'm sure. I think I have a little bit of talent and decent resume. We'll see. It's a difficult transition to go from Corey Long, guy who works for ESPN to Corey Long, guy who works. I want to laugh, I want to cry. End of the day I just want to be able to say thank you to all the people that made it possible from my dear friend Kellie to my boss David.<br />

I really would like to come back to this thing full time but I can't commit to anything right now.<br /><br />I got a lot on my mind. That's really nothing new as I have always embraced the clutter in my head. I feel quite happy with a lot on my mind. It keeps me from feeling a sense of worthlessness or a lack of accomplishment. If I have nothing on my mind, what purpose do I serve?<br /><br />I've probably been working legally for about 17 years and 15 of those years I've made my money in the journalism industry. Mostly newspapers and then to more specialized publication and now through wires and online media as an "independent contractor". But over the next seven days it will be judgment time in my career. Maybe things will break right and I'll continue to do what I love with some financial stability or it's time to move on. It's a difficult move because I've always tried to be loyal to the business even when the business (or maybe the people behind the business) proved itself (or themselves) to be a fraud to the people that fought so hard to protect it.<br /><br />The jobs, while similar in description, couldn't be much different. One company wants to see how far I am willing to go to work for them. Will I pay my own travel for an interview? Will I do it quickly so I miss the two-week "cheaper" flight window? Will I spend a year working for a subsidiary without the good company benefits? The other company is probably considered to be at least part of the industry standard but they move at a speed that is generously described as slow. So at this point I leave it to fate. Either I'm still going to be here or I won't. Nothing more or less. If it doesn't work I'll move on. I can move on. Five years ago I wouldn't have been able to, now I could do it without blinking. It's time for bedUnknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937638.post-80741775390408802682009-02-16T17:45:00.004-05:002009-02-16T19:08:49.785-05:00The Old CommunityBack in like 2005, 2006, 2007, I was part of this small, but tight little blog community and it was pretty dope. It was like having a dinner conversation party 3-4 times a week. We would talk about a wide assortment of stuff like politics, dating, baseball, music, anything pop culture really. And we all brought something different and exciting to the table.<br /><br />As expected many of them have moved on over time. <a href="http://www.jillwrites.com/myblog.html">Jill</a> stopped blogging a while back. Who knows what she's doing, she's a thespian type so she could be doing some big broadway play for all I know.<br /><br />Blair is still blogging but he closed down his personal blog for one focused on his sports passion, Marquette basketball, and I have to say that he has built up Cracked Sidewalks to be something special.<br /><br />A few others are still hanging around. <a href="http://www.whiterose.org/pete/blog/">Perfectly Cromulent</a> is still going strong but <a href="http://www.psotd.com/">PSoTD</a> will be retired in the next couple of weeks and I can keep up with the The Spin Doctor between his <a href="http://maneydigital.com/">blog</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/the_spinmd">Twitter</a>.<br /><br />Still I can't help but think that all would be right in the world if just one man returned.<br /><br />The Chronic Curmudgeon.<br /><br />I've gotten a chance to know Chris a little and unfortunately my job (at the time) kept me from a golden opportunity to meet him and Blair and others in Philadelphia for his bachelor's party. Some I now regret, especially since I got laid off from the job last month. Now between a crazy gig at GM and family life I know Mudge's plate is full.<br /><br />But still, think about all the things we've missed out on the last two years since he posted.<br /><br />-- We got a black president, at least partially black, I'm claiming him. Definitely blacker than Bill Clinton, the last black president.<br /><br />-- Sarah Palin<br /><br />-- A-Rod on Drugs<br /><br />-- His engagement and wedding<br /><br />-- His new life as a stepfather<br /><br />-- This depressing economy and his thoughts on how they have treated the industry he works for.<br /><br />-- Britney's comeback<br /><br />-- The emergence of the Tampa Bay Rays<br /><br />-- Ummm....other stuff...<br /><br />-- More stuff...<br /><br />-- Fantasy baseball<br /><br />-- I'm running out of things to convince him to comeback.<br /><br />So fine. I'll just ask. Chris, my friend, return back to your roots. Let's either get the old band back together or try to find new band mater in the virtual world. Twitter is cool for the small stuff but 140 words is barely enough for a title to a post.<br /><br />And if asking doesn't work, I'll probably beg...Eventually. Right now I'm going to just ask and assume you've got a minor minor itch.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937638.post-66867025221507017722009-02-03T01:39:00.002-05:002009-02-03T01:45:04.022-05:00Super Happy It's Over......My Super Bowl week in the Tampa Bay area was interesting.<br /><br />I had a little work, doing some drops for my good friend's Monster Energy Drink promotions team. It was fun, albeit quite rainy during the middle of the week, and it was pretty good money. Who am I to complain?<br /><br />By Friday evening I was working for a local paper covering boys district soccer.<br /><br />Three hours later I was standing two feet from Wyclef and watching Lindsay Lohan hold court at the ESPN party.<br /><br />That was my week in a nutshell.<br /><br />Now it's over which means the work is gone and it's back to the grind for yours truly. I needed the Super Bowl. It was good to see a lot of old friends in the business and it got me out of this jobless depression for a while. I was hoping that when the big game ended I'd be full of piss and vigor trying to generate my next opportunity. So far I'm not as pissy and vigory as I'd like but I do see something happening in the future.<br /><br />Now I just need to get there.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937638.post-12027815599642755402009-01-26T01:38:00.003-05:002009-01-26T01:50:54.328-05:00Late Night ThoughtsIt looks like I have a meeting tomorrow with someone about something. Of course I know who and why but I can't offer any answers until later. My expectations are somewhere in between low and optimistic. My car has to go into the shop too, expectations are somewhere between devastating and disastrous.<br /><br />It's weird but there are times like these when I really miss my Ledger Edge. I miss her whenever I think about her and why would haven't spoken in a couple years but right now I know she could listen and provide the insight I need to get me through a tough time.<br /><br />The weird irony of life is if I get this job in Atlanta (chances are slim) that we'd be in the same city again and would probably run into each other because that's how life is. I hope that doesn't happen...I mean I want the job in Atlanta or any job that pays a decent salary, but I don't want to run into her and have that awkward moment between former friends.<br /><br />Sometimes I want answers. I want to know why she cut me out of her life but I'm slightly worried about the answers because I know it will confirm my belief that something I said or did or didn't do really disappointed her. I would just apologize probably. At this stage that's all I could do but I'd apologize and ask for a forgiveness. I don't really want a new start, I'd rather just pick up where the old start left off.<br /><br />Anyway I'm rambling, so back to the meeting tomorrow -- I hope it's better than what I expect it will be and maybe something good will come out of it. I need a job fast and frankly I'm not going to be selective. At this point anything to get me out of the walls of my home for 8 hours a day will suffice.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937638.post-91635897769815863272009-01-23T11:24:00.003-05:002009-01-23T12:12:42.585-05:00It's a Dog Eat Dog Shit World......What happened to me?<br /><br />8 years ago I was a prospect. A player. A future big timer. People from the New York office would call me and say "man there are a lot of powerful people who are very impressed by you". And at that time they should have been. I was 24 and I was part of the "new journalist" -- completely adapt at doing things the old way but keeping both eyes on the future and this internet thing that everyone was getting into.<br /><br />I'm not sure when the wheels began to fall off, maybe it was when I got denied a management opportunity, but whatever happened I decided the newspaper game wasn't for me anymore to I skipped to do a start-up magazine.<br /><br />It was a good move. I learned a lot about management and organization. I learned a lot of new skills and I learned how to manufacture large projects with very limited manpower. Three years worth of magazines into it and I was finally getting to a position of comfort going into 2009.<br /><br />Then disaster strikes.<br /><br />You know the old story. These are tough times, this is a tough economy, etc. etc. End story is the same -- we don't have the money and unfortunately pal, you don't have a job. That sucks but it's the game we have to play in 2009.<br /><br />Now I'm stuck in no man's land. There are no jobs in my industry. The journalism business has been completely sucked dry. All those powerful people who were impressed by me have taken buyouts and moved on.<br /><br />In 2009 it's different. I'm just looking for anything to survive right now. I like living in St. Petersburg and if I have to go work at someplace for a year or two until things get a little better. I can do that. As the title says, we're in a different world. Everything costs more but everyone's making a lot less. It's not the way we planned it but the world doesn't wait for us to adjust. Much like it was hundreds of years ago, it's a game of survival. Hopefully no one gets eaten alive.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937638.post-16088768710202549942008-07-04T16:32:00.000-05:002008-07-04T16:33:19.728-05:00Happy 4th!As Always...Whitney!<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RQQL4m7Ka7A&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RQQL4m7Ka7A&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937638.post-76849401537421899882008-06-23T00:43:00.003-05:002008-06-23T00:47:24.123-05:00George Carlin :(One of the most groundbreaking, articulate, irreverent performance artists of all time.<br /><br />He will be missed.<br /><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YphEUa5LPjM&hl=" width="425" height="344" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937638.post-6033818970326270752008-05-21T11:54:00.002-05:002008-05-21T11:59:56.339-05:00Teachers Gone Wild......Obviously Florida has its fair share of teachers who have been willing to cross that line.<br /><br />But in <a href="http://newsok.com/article/3245042?mp=0">this community</a>, it's gotten a little outrageous.<br /><br />One quote really stands out for all the wrong reasons:<br /><strong><blockquote><strong>"I knew that she had sex with another student, so why not me?” the former Vian student told police. "She put off the vibes. I hit her up about it, and she did it.”</strong></strong></blockquote><br />What kind of student actually calls a teacher on something like that?<br /><br />It actually made me think. I was chatting with my mom a couple of days ago about my elementary school days in Brooklyn and how much my 4th grade teacher was in love with me (and for good reason, besides being incredibly handsome, I was a great student).<br /><br />Anyway during the parent-teacher conference she's got her arm around me, rubbing my head, etc. etc. all while talking to my parents. The weird thing was, back in the mid-80s, this was reassuring and not at all strange. 20 years later poor Mrs. Weiner would've been canned for such an overt display of innocent affection.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937638.post-85219953301582602222008-05-08T04:46:00.003-05:002008-05-08T08:36:21.125-05:00Somewhat Bizarre...Remember this song?<br /><br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TfJe8hQ8ha0&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TfJe8hQ8ha0&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br />...Yeesh I remember hearing this song about...5291 times during my first week of living in Gainesville back in 1997. Unfortunately I didn't discover the town's hip-hop station until the end of the summer.<br /><br />However I always dug this little tune and never knew there was a video to go with it. The guy in the back seat of the car cracks me up. He's too lazy to even bother lip synching.<br /><br />Anyway, OMC is actually just one guy who was part of a rap group that disbanded of the same name. Apparently it's an acronym for Otara Millionaries Club, with Otara being the poverty-stricken, gang-infested part of Auckland, New Zealand where the guy grew up. I think this song sold like $15 million worldwide, making his proclamation true.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937638.post-86327148816101024052008-05-05T10:00:00.002-05:002008-05-05T10:12:40.341-05:00Yes It's Monday, But That's No Excuse...An exchange at work.<br /><br />Graphics Man No. 1: You know today is Cinco de Mayo.

I'm embarassed and ashamed.<br /><br />I would usually hit in the high 700s or even 800 if I was involved with someone who loved to text. Now it's like all of the friends that I keep daily contact with just text and text and text and text.<br /><br />I hate text messaging, I hate cell phones altogether. Mine is basic. It doesn't take pictures, it doesn't surf the web, it doesn't include a nifty keyboard, it barely works indoors.<br /><br />Why do we text so much? And what's with this anxiety of getting that text returned IMMEDIATELY. I swear I had six texts in a matter of 20 minutes yesterday and four of them were of the "Hey, are you there?" variety.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937638.post-9032787152024350882008-04-23T10:26:00.003-05:002008-04-23T11:25:23.694-05:00Do I Need a Caretaker......every so often I like to assess where my personal life is. Who I see, what they do, how they live, if everything worked out (usually no).<br /><br />So when I go to the "what they do" section I got this feedback:<br /><br />Nurse<br />Nursing student<br />Dental Hygentist<br />Physical Therapist<br />Lawyer<br />911 Dispatcher<br />Dentral Hygentist<br /><br />Skip the lawyer for a second and geez that's a lot of women in the health profession. And when I venture back even farther, I find more nurses and the such. Why is this? Now at first it made sense. I worked the third shift on a job and nurses (and emergency dispatchers) work equally moronic hours so it made for the easiest pairing. Of course I'm more of a <s>9</s> 10 to <s>5</s> 3:30 worker these days so I should be able to break out of this trend.<br /><br />I guess I find comfort in the caretaker types. Isn't that what most men want anyway? Someone to take care of them. I mean we talk about wanting independent women but what we mean is we want women who will work all day AND take care of us. And own all their own shit.

And be honest, who here owns Freedom Rock?<br /><br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tCP1si4X4aQ&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tCP1si4X4aQ&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937638.post-68158334097090523582008-04-19T08:35:00.003-05:002008-04-19T08:40:35.056-05:00Ahh, That's Better.......It's tough when you spend all year trying to make yourself feel good and someone you don't know ruins 100+ days of work.<br /><br />I got stood up last weekend and it sucks, it's one of the worst feelings I've ever had. How could someone who's never met you decide that they don't want to meet you and you're not even worth a phone call.<br /><br />Luckily for me I have thick skin that the hurt went away pretty quickly. It's also good to have people like Taryn threaten to "punch her in the face". Things like that actually make me feel better than before because it comes from a person I care about so much and it shows that the feeling is mutual.<br /><br />Anyway, it's Saturday so I'm going to hit the market and eventually hit the gym. In between there I'll probably watch some of these NBA Playoffs (I'm excited) and maybe I'll clean this mess of a house.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937638.post-25107909054828719422008-03-23T11:59:00.003-05:002008-03-23T12:01:20.428-05:00Happy Ham Day......somewhere in the course of 31 years I've lost the meaning of Easter. So until I find it again or until it wants to be found I'm just going to use it as a chance to have an extended Sunday conversation with my parents.<br /><br />And eat some jelly beans.<br /><br />And watch some basketball.<br /><br />Have a good one no matter how you decide to spend it.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937638.post-21429534830225588812008-03-11T16:02:00.003-05:002008-03-11T16:03:46.354-05:00I Guess Rumsfeld is on a ski trip.From today's <a href="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iVv4PV5jDHUrvbA3ZksdNFw9BQrQD8VAM1N02">AP story</a>.<br /><br /><em>[President] Bush said Monday in the Oval Office that [Vice President] Cheney would "reassure people that the United States is committed to a vision of peace in the Middle East."</em><br /><br />Ummmm...Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937638.post-21376414557284173132008-03-06T10:19:00.002-05:002008-03-06T10:23:23.409-05:00God-like Sliders RecipeDon't ask me how many it serves, I'm guess it makes 12-15 mini burgers. And you'll have to drain the fat, I'd actually use a leaner meat to start with (90/10).<br /><br />I got this recipe from a sports message board and an FSU fan came up with it. I'm sure he/she doesn't mind the rest of the world knowing. It's very damn good especially if you're not close to a White Castle or Krystal.<br /><br /><strong>Ingredients</strong><br />Between 1 lb and 1 1/2 pounds of beef<br />1 egg<br />1/3 c bread crumbs<br />1/3 c water<br />1 packet of lipton onion soup mix<br />salt & pepper salt to taste<br /><br /><strong>Instructions</strong><br />Mix, spread on cookie sheet, bake at 400 for ten. Drain fat and slice into squares with pizza cutter. Serve on buttered toasted dinner rolls with pickle. Add cheese if you want.<br /><br />EnjoyUnknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937638.post-25861994833180021832008-03-03T13:32:00.004-05:002008-03-03T13:35:58.776-05:00White Music, Black Music......I love wasting time at work. Because I occasionally stumble across such gems like:<br /><br />The Top 10 Rap Songs White People Love [<a href="http://www.catsandbeer.com/music/the-top-10-rap-songs-white-people-love">Link</a>]<br /><br />and<br /><br />The Top 10 Rock Songs Black People Love [<a href="http://www.catsandbeer.com/music/the-top-10-rock-songs-black-people-love-a-post-written-by-a-black-person">Link</a>]<br /><br />I truly didn't know my people were into Duran Duran like we are. I figured it would be another British pop band like The Police or The Beatles or The Rolling Stones...Seriously our musical taste is better than Duran Duran! PLEASE tell me it is!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com
