I'm A LIFTER!

The internet is an incredible resource.  In fact, incredible is an understatement, 'cause it's so much more than that.  But one of its most glaring drawbacks is the relentless negativity that finds its way onto every comment section on every blog!  I'm talkin' some of the most disgusting vitriol known to man!  Yes, I realize the genesis of such tripe is undoubtedly the commenter's feeling of unworthiness.  Disharmony in his/her own life.  I get it.  I just don't like it.  On the flip side, whenever I sign onto Facebook, I read tons of positive messages about being healthy.  Working out.  Lifting weights.  The photo above came to me today and I absolutely LOVED it.  And I love it because it sums up for me PRECISELY the kind of "healthy lifestyle" this world TRULY needs more of!  I've gotta make a concerted effort to ALWAYS lift those in my presence.  With words!  And DEEDS!

So, NOW you know what I mean when I ask you, "Do you LIFT?"

Eighth Wonder Of The World

Fitness guru JACOB SUMANA is no joke!  From Denmark, Jacob represents everything good about sculpting a physique.  He's a true testatment to what discipline can do for a body.  His favorite quote reads:

"Discipline, Dedication and Determination are the keys to Domination."

Geez!  I'm off to the park now to do whatever I can do to keep myself lookin' half way descent!

Get out and MOVE, folks!!!!!!  Get out and MOVE!!!

Just An Observation; Not A Complaint

I'm THRILLED to be alive to feel it---honestly, I am---but, ooh, chile, it's a tad...um..."warm" today.

The Ugly Truth About Beauty

On Facebook, I read tons and tons of posts written by young, black men and women who want nothing more in life than to become famous models.  All they talk about is this fashion show and that fashion show.  They talk about all their "photo shoots" and post hundreds of images.  The muscularly built men have hundreds of semi-nude images.  I can always tell which of those images are shot by gay, male photographers and which aren't.  Those shot by the former always are either nude or as close to it as humanly possible.  Pants are always unbuckled.  A veiled glimpse of the penis and/or full-on butt shots are staples.  Honestly, unless a guy is being paid to model underwear, he doesn't need underwear photos.  He most assuredly doesn't need a HUNDRED of them!!  Similar, risque images of women are usually shot by heterosexual men.  Whatever!

Today I stumbled upon a ten-minute PowerPoint presentation given by a true, working model:  Cameron Russell.  Man, the young lady broke down that black models are invisible to the fashion world her experiences in modeling and didn't pull any punches.  She courageously states that tall, thin white women are what's deemed beautiful.  Duh.  Tell me about it!

I wholeheartedly recommend all the non-white model wannabes hear her message.  It's truly POWERFUL!  And I suspect, dead on the money!
