Victory at last!

After years of farming this solo, with a druid, crossing my fingers and toes, etc I finally got the Ravenlord mount! I usually save my mount runs for later in the week when I’m bored as hell but my guildies were being tarts so I decided to run off to do a quick jaunt down to be disappointed. Guess the backwards psychology helped!

First I saw this...

I assumed my eyes were deceiving me so I learned the purple, shiny goodness and saw this so I knew wasn’t dreaming!

That’s when I was all, “HEHEHE, OMG I GOT IT” and since my guildies were being jerks I was all, “OMG, IMMA LEARN THIS AND NOT EVEN RESPOND!”

So I took screenshots and tweeted about it instead.

20 Days of WoW Blogging Challenge: People I Admire

Unlucky 13

Growing up I had very few notable people that I admired. They were mostly athletic figures that I dreamed of being like and emulated my practice and play style according to theirs. Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Hakeem Olajuwon and Michael Jordan. I remember watching all three of these athletes growing up and being completely in awe about how fluid and graceful they were. I also went through some really weird phase in high school where I was OBSESSED with Shaquille O’Neal and secretly owned his CDs and movies. *cough* As an adult, I can’t think of any people that I wanna grow up to be like, which probably comes off weird, but it is what it is.

In the Warcraft blogging scene, I really dig Heal over time. Ms. Peanut’s blog deals with a lot of issues that I’ve faced in playing WoW and breaking away from a semi-addiction instead of using the game to cope. Plus, she’s amazingly vulnerable which I’m working on myself. Guarded by the Light’s, Miri is also someone that I secretly enjoy because she’s so freakin’ raw and hilarious and probably doesn’t realize it. But whether she’s talking about her tanking adventures or shaking her fist about dealing with her job, she’s cracking me the funk up. Lastly, Ms. Applecidermage. Number one, she’s a mage. Number two, she shares some of the same sentiments in game and out that I have. And number three, she’s just really freakin’ cool!

That’s all I got because this is incredibly awkward because I could say a lot about everyone I’ve mentioned here and I can’t really find the words.

20 Days of WoW Blogging: A Usual Day in Your Life/Online Time

Day 12 was actually kind of fun because I have a very untraditional day compared to most as far as my job goes.

I work (currently) as a Personal Trainer and 4:30 am is the start of my day. Its a rather difficult task being bright-eyed and bushy tailed and they say you get used to waking up so early, but that’s a lie. It’s been 8 years and its still a battle. I’m also a night owl and rarely get to bed before 10pm, which doesn’t help my cause at all. I shower, pack a snack, make some tea or coffee and a bite to eat for the road and get on the highway for the commute to Northern San Diego by about 5am. Today it was 4:50, because I had to get some gas

Around 5:40 am, I roll into the gym, turn on the heat and start writing workouts for the day’s clients and finish up my breakfast. Isn’t the view lovely? Train a few clients, do a teeny bit of cardio and workout myself between clients or waiting for late clients and then hit the road back South to rest at home or go to visit my Chiropractor and friends at his office for a bit.

Before I get onto the rest of my day, I’d just like to highlight one of my clients, Jim. Jim and his wife have trained with us for about 10 years now. Jim squats, lunges, medicine ball slams and pretty much does anything I ask of him with no question. Jim is also 89 and turning 90 in May. So next time you complain about your body hurting and being unmotivated about working out, think about Jim. Because while you’re bitching and moaning he’s working his ass off 3 times a week for an hour and rarely misses a workout.

Stud.

After that its coming home, showering and catching up on Twitter and answering emails here and there.   Lately, I’ve also been polishing my resume for the Community Management dealio and participating in #cmgrchat whenever I have the opportunity. While all of that is going on, I’m usually in game and afk until I find that something is going on or I decide to do a few heroics or LFRs here and there. That cycle repeats itself until garbage television comes on and then I divert my attention to that and get a few dailies done here and there until I get tired and finally turn in for the night. My day is literally non-stop multitasking, which I’ve got to admit, I enjoy a lot.

Oh yeah, I found my favorite mug today. Finally. Someone kept hiding it behind the stupid bonsai. Srsly? Srsly.

Previous Days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
