Pumping Some Iron

-
I can't sleep because I'm thinking about going to the gym. I might as well blog about it. For a long time, other than walking around the parking lot at work for 15 minutes three times a day as part of my job as a security guard, I did a workout right after work using the equipment I had in my bedroom. 

I took the advice of Egan Inoue a retired MMA fighter from Hawaii to give myself some minutes to workout instead of making excuses about not having time. And it felt good afterward, just like he said it would.

I did plan to go to the gym after finishing the SWARM Series and after publishing SWARM: The Pentalogy, which will be all five series in one, around 700+ pages.

It's not because it is costly for my budget as a security guard. The affordable one around my neighborhood costs only 10 dollars monthly, with 45-something dollars to join. That place is Planet Fitness. And it has all the primary machines and free weights you need, including many cardio machines. My excuse for skipping the gym is about making up the time. Suppose I am a millionaire; sure, why not. I wouldn't be working as a security guard anymore and have the extra time. The rest is doing that right after or before working in the office, writing stories, painting expressionism, or making melodies would be great. But saving gas is one reason right now; although the gyms are pretty close, I still need the extra pennies for book publishing, buying groceries, cooking gourmets, and things like that. However, it will be nice to post working out on Instagram.

My goal is to lose a bit of my gut using a Resistance Band attached to my bedroom door. It won't take long: I just need to walk to my room, change clothes, drink some water, do 100 standing crunches, and then do 3 sets of 30 pushes using both arms. This time, I'll have time to listen to audiobooks, which will help me stay motivated to repeat the session 3 times. I might even do it more if I'm feeling up to it.

I did 15 reps of simple curls with my dumbbells in 3 sets. Due to my stroke in 2016, my left side has been weak, so I used 10 pounds for my left arm and 30 pounds for my right arm. I apologize for the dirty carpet. I will dust and vacuum it this week. I was in the zone finishing SWARM.

People ask me why I am still working so hard, even though I am being harassed by gangstalkers who are probably hired by reptilians. I do it because I have to. I don't know how much longer I have before I am too will be demised. Basically, it's my passion. It's most likely what I will do regardless of getting laid on a paradise Island. To be honest, I always thought there might be another way to win the Mega Lottery. I had no luck when my mother asked me to buy a ticket for myself whenever I purchased her a Quick Pick ticket.

I'm fascinated by the Indian Gada workout, which uses a club or mace, or even both. I may try it later.

Here are simple illustrations of doing the Gada workout.

I will probably have these around the backyard. I still have more to learn about these equipment.

Cannabis, also known as marijuana, is a psychoactive drug derived from the Cannabis plant. Its main active compounds, cannabinoids like THC and CBD, interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, affecting mood, cognition, and physical sensations. Cannabis can be consumed in various forms, including smoking, vaping, or ingesting edibles. It's known for its recreational and medicinal uses, with effects ranging from relaxation and euphoria to pain relief and appetite stimulation. However, its legality and social acceptance vary widely across different regions and cultures.

OUTSIDE - A Zombie Film

  I was quite impressed with this zombie film when I came across it on Netflix, especially since it's a film from the Philippines featuring my favorite actor, Sid Lucero. I remember he was chosen by Lav Diaz, my favorite Filipino director, to play a psychopathic character in Norte, the End of History , a film based on my hometown in the Philippines. The story is very unique, with some memorable scenes, strong drama, dark humor, and a few disturbing sequences I’ll never forget. And here he is again, the same actor I recognize as an excellent psychopath, delivering an outstanding performance in this zombie apocalypse film, Outside , directed and written by Carlo Ledesma. This filmmaker is now officially one of my favorites as well. The story takes place in a secluded Spanish colonial-era home, a decaying estate in the countryside that was once the childhood home of Francis. As a deadly zombie outbreak spreads, Francis and his family seek refuge inside the house, but tensions quickly ...

  I asked AI what my books are about, who are the similar authors, and if the book is suitable for the big screen. And honestly, this is what AI says. From Gemini Carbon Planet: Our Destiny In The Stars by Vincent Casil throws you into a captivating blend of science fiction, mystery, and environmental themes. The story unfolds through two interwoven narratives. The first centers on a group of friends who inexplicably disappear during a seemingly ordinary fishing trip. As the FBI investigation stalls, leaving their loved ones with gnawing unanswered questions, the families take matters into their own hands. They enlist the help of Wyatt McCoy, a private investigator known for his unconventional methods and penchant for tackling bizarre cases. Wyatt's search delves into a world far stranger than anyone could have anticipated. He uncovers clues that hint at urban legends, mythical creatures, and even the paranormal, leading him down a rabbit hole that blurs the lines between realit...
