Project Miami
I've decided I'll move to Miami as early as next year. Now that I have a team I rarely do anything alone, so I called up Marvin to see what he thought about the m0ve. He said he was also planning on moving back to Miami within the next year and a half. I told him my idea's and plan for making the move and now we are going to use 2010 to get things set up and get to planning next years move. We figured if we are going to make this happen we should assemble the A-Forces so I called RR to see where he stood on making the move. He's also thought about it and would love to make the trip. However he has a lot more responsibility in New York than me and Marv so he has a lot to think about. I really hope he joins us.
Now the Oprah deal is that much more important to me because it will set the stage and make the transition a lot more smoother. As with everything life is full of curve balls and nothing is set in stone. However I firmly believe that I am the master of my own destiny and if I apply myself I can make anything happen as life is filled with infinite possibility. As I am writing this I am in Miami on vacation which has been going very well. (There has been some problems on this trip though location being the biggest one, the hotel I'm staying in is 30min away from everything but I was able to make the most of it and make things happen) So when I get back to New York I will inform the rest of the team of our decision, well some of them will see this before I get back but a few of them are too lazy to read my blog lol some team members they are.
I really wanna have things set up so I can live in Miami September to May and live in New York June to August. That would be the ultimate situation. When you dream you have to dream big yet realistic and I think my dreams are both big and realistic.

P.S. summer is fast approaching so I will start posting my summer body tips like I did last year soon, to help you get in the best possible shape you can be in before summer gets here. As you know if you keep procrastinating you will get no where so take action. I will actually republish that as tip 1 of 2010, that's both a fitness and life tip. If you pay attention you will see that all the rules and strategies not only apply in the gym but also in life. Live your life and enjoy every second of it because you only get one.
RIP Maureen Sherman
I only met you last summer but it felt like I knew you forever
You made me feel like family and you supported me
When I needed pictures for my website you said you’d take them for free
You were so filled with life even though life wasn’t always easy
You never let anything keep you down
When it came to your cousin losing weight and getting healthy you was all for it
You were always there to congratulate
I know you wanted to see us on Oprah and it sucks that you won’t in the flesh
But I’m sure you’ll see us in spirit and God will handle the rest
May your soul rest in peace
2010 (Best Year Yet)
2010 is going to be the best year yet for the people around me and myself. One of my best friends, Jason Nolasco won a car from his job. Few of my other friends are starting new careers. I myself will be starting a new career this month. I've also been upgrading my avatar for the new year; new year new me. Next month the final paper work goes in for the Oprah and Dr. Oz show, which has me very excited because my 2 best friends/brothers Clint Reese and Jason Mills will be going with me. Also going on the Fabolous ski trip with Clint Reese and Steven Valdez next month and it turns out Jason Nolasco and a few of my other friends are going to the Trey Songz ski trip the same weekend. We finally decided the name of the auto club will be New Legion Auto Club and our logo will be a Gargoyle holding a skull similar to the image below.

Oprah
Ok I'm going to be on the Oprah Winfrey Show along with fellow personal trainer Joseph Hunt. We will be on Oprah because of Joe's former client and my friend Rosemarie Marescie. Rose lost over 100lbs naturally through working out hard and eating healthy. When we heard Oprah was looking for people who lost a significant amount of weight naturally without surgery, we had to send in Rose's story. I wrote a letter to Oprah on behalf of Rose telling her story. We were all excited to receive an invitation to the show and we can't wait. The show will film in December and air in February. Who knows what doors this will open for all 3 of us.
Life keeps getting more interesting with each new day and opportunities.
Random Thoughts
Lately I've been doing a lot of thinking. Thinking about life, how I'm living, how I want to live and where I've been. I try not to spend a lot of time thinking about the past but it can't be helped. They say the past is a good indication of the future after all when you think about it most of our life is the past, the present is so short. In the gym it's me versus the weights and trust me I always lose. See my body has to undergo constant change while the weights remain the same, 200 pounds is always 200 pounds. Sometimes the weights get so heavy it's like I'm moving the world and man it feels great. When I first got into bodybuilding I thought it was my out but now I'm not so sure. After all I did take the natural route. Our lives are defined by opportunities both missed and taken.
Life constantly change one minute your happy next your sad. What is it that I want out if this life? Damn at times I don't know. Do I want companionship? Sure I do I mean who wants to be alone but you gotta be extramely lucky to find both beauty and substance. I'd be a liar if I didn't say the first thing I go for is beauty. You have to get to know someone to find substance.
The answer to the question above is yes I'm happy. My life is filled with positive opportunities. I'm going to be on Oprah and who knows what opportunities will arise from it. I'm so blessed, sometimes I forget just how much. I'm working hard to make my dreams come true, I'm not relying on luck.
