Warning

I would like to thank Joel for his invention of the Water and Dip diet. I believe it has been the catalyst since I started dipping again for me to have finally left the 250s behind. I hadnt weighed myself in over 2 weeks and was very satisfied to see I'm now at 244. Actually 33 lbs since May. Realistically I'm trying to make it to the 220s. Optimistically I'm shooting for my freshman weight of 211. I was still fat then but figure 4 inches and age this time well make me look more handsome than I already am. I am a card carrying alumni of the Handsome Boy Modeling school afterall- it only took 60 bucks. So I decided to celebrate today by actually eating other than oatmeal and bananas at home. Moms made some excellent machaca. I also have pretty much cut out Soda or Pop if you're from the midwest. Sticking with a D staple too and having tea more than ever. Uggh, and some agua de jamaica as well. not a fan but according to mexican lore it cleans out the kidneys and you all know I need that. How long has it been since I have been 244? 1998. 12 long years. I actually ended up getting down to 236. It was the last time I was so heavily into basketball that Hugo, some guy we used to know by the name of Jim, some other dude by the name of Mike and me were on the hoop it up circuit. Our next tour stop that year was LA for the hoop it up tournament up there. Actually it was in Winnetka. We had had a poor showing in October at the San Diego one and were fiercely attempting to rectify that. That tourney we avenged our loss to the other lesser team from Santee. Well it was only a lesser team because I wasnt on it... haha nah everyone was good. We also had a good run into the playoffs where after a night of heavy drinking we barely fell to some long armed mexicans from the valley. It was a hard fought game but the previous evening of celebrating my birthday had me running out of gas.  I remember we had all packed about 12 of us into the van for that journey. I also remember getting yelled at constantly for falling asleep on the way back, haha, I also remember forgetting where the bathroom was late at night and taking a leak on the sliding glass door hahaha. Anyways It was good to have a small cheering section- good times. maybe we can do it again sometime in the 30 and over leagues. Attempt to relive the glory haha.
Warning from biggie smalls because it was also Joel who finally convinced me to give him a shot. I was one of the few that saw where P diddy, master P and all them were taking rap to and I was reluctant to even attempt to like anything coming out of their labels. I have always been heavily into the underground less heralded but way more talented lyrically hip hop artists and even though I ended up being right about the future on this one account, well sometimes you gotta have an open mind and just listen. I am off to see if the music trader on el cajon blvd is still open I don't think it is but after paying what I had to pay at the post office to send a part of my legendary collection to some internet site, 5 bucks in gas to make some serious cash is well worth it

Think I'll try to ascend Cowles mountain tomorrow in 35 minutes or less tomorrow.
