Once Upon a Time

Santa Cruz Ca 2005

Once upon a time there was the gym that could. It was located in Santa Cruz Ca and there was a family that trained there. It was a beautiful place the temperature was allways a cool 74 degrees and athletes and trainers traveled there from far and wide. Each and every time you stepped on the pavement you knew magic would happen. Annie S, Tony B, Nicole, Mike, Greg A, B-Boy Brendon Coach and Lauren would be there to cheer you on.

This only happens once in a lifetime! Crossfit

Young Spirit!

Jackson is my nephew and he is a wild man! Yes he is!!!!! Jackson is none stop he gets super jacked up when there is a lot of people around! It is an awesome sight to see. He is so young he doesn't know what to do with his energy so he just freaks out. In a good way he runs, jumps, swings screams he actually looks a lot like his uncle Jeremy. I look forward to the day I will help him channel his energy into Crossfit Kids and many other life altering experiences.

Get some Jackson! By the way he is 3 and his birthday is on the same day as mine October 5th!

Getten Some!

This past weekend I performed in the all cities open hosted by Crossfit Dallas Central. First off I wanted to say it was a great event Sam, Dean, and Spencer of CFDC are all fantastic guys and you should definitely go by their box if you live or travel through Dallas TX.

Vic Zachary posted in the photo above did a great job this weekend! He is an impressive athlete a great guy and has a heart of gold.

One thing that the competitive Crossfit community continues to see is a constantly varied scoring method for competitions. I think scoring is one of the most unknown variables across the board at competitions. The more I compete the more I realize the place you come in can not determine your emotional and mental attitude towards the event and your outcome.
A few variables to gauge
1. How did you feel.
2. Are you in your best shape not compared to others around you.
3. What is your outcome goal.
4. Did you have fun!

After three National International Crossfit Games which year had the best scoring relative to the events?

Legacy

2009 is ending and 2010 is right around the corner. I always look back on the year and reflect on my past goals and look to the future. In the month of December I take 4 weeks to map out my plans for the next 12 months. I look at three areas 1. personal/spiritual 2. professional 3. physical/fitness and health.

Over the last four years one of the biggest lesions I have learned is commitment and consistency. I definitely screw up but I always get back on the horse. The slight edge!

The Maiden Heist movie featuring my painting is out on DVD

The movie The Maiden Heist (featuring my painting "The Lonely Maiden") starring Morgan Freeman, Christopher Walken and William H. Macy is available now on DVD. The whole painting was somewhat invented, including the girl painted by combining Marcia Gay Harden who plays Roger's (C. Walken) wife, with LA model Toni Czechorosky.
In the movie you can see some extreme close ups of the painting, here are a couple shots I took before sending the painting off to the set. Because the painting was supposed to be painted by fictitious painter (Marcel de Robert) belonging to a fictitious late 19th century painting movement (Post French Naturalist) I wanted the paint to be thicker and look more layered than my own paintings and look a little more like the Naturalist painters. I had a limited amount of time to complete the piece so I used Galkyd Lite medium to minimize the drying time. See my older post where I talk a little more about creating the painting for the movie.
