Sometimes I develop man crushes. Yeah, I said it! So what? I’m not ashamed. I have a smokin’ hot girlfriend who happens to look like a young, hotter version of Holly Robinson Peete. (Sexy, right?) You don’t have to answer that. I know she’s sexy. It was a hypothetical question, hence the parentheses.

Last week, I was gazing deep into the abysses, which are my girlfriend’s dark-chocolaty eyeballs. I couldn’t breathe and I felt like any attempt for air would have me hospitalized for The Bends. What was that suffocating feeling? Love. I began to caress her cocoa buttery skin. Then, slowly, an image began to appear in my mind. I couldn’t make it out at first, but it was accompanied by a voice. It sounded godly, like Morgan Freeman. (Or maybe it was that other black guy from the Allstate commercials.) This deep, seductive voice in my head started vibrating my panties. The room began to get hot and I began to sweat. I realized I was having an out of body experience (which, turns out, feels like one gigantic orgasm). I didn’t know what was going on. Am I dying? I thought. Is that you, God? Then the image started to become more clear. The heavy voice was coming from a white male figure. I was pissed. I lived my whole life thinking Jesus was a black woman. “Hey, big boy!” he said to me. The image became clear and I was rendered speechless. This hot, tingly sensation I felt all over my body (and in my pants) wasn’t caused by my girlfriend or Jesus (who is a black female). It was simply me fantasizing about Brett Favre.

This isn’t the only time I’ve fantasized about a man while I’m with a girl. Other culprits who’ve plagued my libido include (in order of sexiness):

  1. Myself (Is it wrong to get “chubby” while looking at yourself in the mirror?)
  2. The character Guido Orefice from Life Is Beautiful–the best movie ever made.
  3. Will Smith (Mainly because of his music, but also because of this scene from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air)

The time has come for me to add another man to this list. His name: Tony Robbins. He’s been around for a while doing motivational speaking, but it wasn’t until recently that he caught my eye with his swagg (translation for my gringos: confidence and style) and my ear with his velvety voice. Now, I’m not one for motivational speakers. As a matter of fact, I’ve only been motivated by one other person in my life (excluding myself, of course). That person was a blind man who was riding a bike (That man was my motivation for starting this blog. See “The ‘Impossible’ List” for details.) But this guy, Tony Robbins, knows how to talk.

I’ve decided to post this Tony Robbins video because much of what he talks about parallel’s my personal philosophy on goals, progress, personal change, and standards. For the many people who think my goals are impossible, you need to watch this video.

For all the people who’ve been holding their breath, waiting for the next BlindBiker post: inhale. I’m back.

I would apologize to my vast array of fans, but, simply put, I’m not sorry. I don’t give a damn about all two (2) of you. I’m more important (obviously, considering I have a website with two whole fans). Nobody cares about you, but–like my loyal fans out there–people (i.e. you) care about me.

So, where have I been?

Don’t worry about where I’ve been. Juss-mine-ya’-bi’ness (translation: Just mind your business).  I’ve been doing large things. And when I say “large,” I mean massive. That’s just how I roll.

What “massive things” have you been doing? 

Well, for starters, I’m taking a “massive” dump right now. Don’t worry though. My poop isn’t really poop. Kind of like how Jesus turned water into wine, my bowels are so healthy that they turn fecal matter into organic strawberry gelato.

My poop.

Wow! How do you do that?

You see, I’m what you call an OrthoNut. Simply put, this just means that I’m better and more healthy than you. That’s why you’re on your computer right now while I’m training for the Olympics.

But I thought you were pooping?

Firstly, I don’t poop. I “create delicious deserts.” Secondly, I burn more calories “creating delicious deserts” than you would running a marathon.

Wait… what are we even talking about?

We’re talking about me, THE BlindBiker, and how I’m back and in business. So, put on your diaper because I’m about to make you pee pee.

Filling the Gap

February 5, 2012 · 0 comments

November 15, 2011 to January 1, 2012:

  • stopped exercising
  • pulled too many all-nighters to count (terrible for body and recovery)
  • the combination of Thanksgiving and stress ruined my diet*
  • some more nights without any sleep
  • a much needed trip to Hawaii perpetuated my terrible diet*
  • two weeks in bed due to tonsillitis
  • Christmas festivities which furthered my downward dietary spiral*
*Note: The bad choices in my diet and binge eating remarkably had no effect on my overall weight. I remained around 170 pounds. However, I lost a significant amount of tone as my muscle mass turned into mashed potatoes (i.e. fat). 

Look how swollen those arms are!

January 1, 2012 t0 January 7, 2012:

  • start of the New Year and I’m extremely motivated
  • detox my body
  • reinstitute my all-organic diet
  • get the stomach flu and lose 10 pounds

January 8, 2012 to February 4, 2012:

  • body weight is at lowest point since adulthood: 162 pounds at 6’5”
  • design a weight-gain diet and workout regimen with the goal of reaching 200 pounds with under 10 percent body fat (When achieved, I imagine I’ll look eerily similar to the Michelin Man.)

February 5, 2012:

  • looking chunkier than ever with a body weight of 187 pounds (That’s a remarkable 25 pounds in under 30 days. BOO-YAH! It’s not all muscle, but it’s meat on my bones.)

You might ask: “Why are you trying to gain weight?” or “Why not continue your ‘impossible’ attempts?” My answer to that would be: I looked in the mirror and resembled a gigantic lollipop.

After I succeed on The Michelin Man Diet, I’ll get back to attempting the impossible. Realistically, I’m hoping for that to be May 1, 2012.

Item #1: Incomplete

30 November 2011

BlindBiker.com has been very low on my list of priorities lately. Certain circumstances have arisen which have caused me to refocus my priorities. I’m going to have to push this blog to the sidelines in the meantime. It’s not over for the BlindBiker. I’m just on sabbatical, indefinitely.
