Juicing!

So on Monday, I started a juice fast. Basically, my goal is to make it 10 days on nothing but juice that I make with veggies and fruits in my new juicer. I watched a documentary called Fat, Sick, and Nearly dead and it really inspired me! The guys in the movie made it 60 days on the fast. When I make it to 10 days, then I will determine if I want to continue to 30, and then finally if I can make 60. It is day 3 and already I have shed 8 pounds and I feel amazing!! Full of energy and my body can tell I have increased my fiber intake ;)

I encourage people to try this. So far my favorite drink has been 2 apples and 3 carrots. I have also learned that banana's are not good for a juicer, and mango's have a HUGE seed in the middle of them.

Marketing? Why not!

Just trying to help promote my new work team. We just recently created a facebook page and need as many people to like it as possible. We will also have a twitter soon hopefully! The website is projected to be up and running by the end of the month and the phone app to follow soon after!

Work, Rain, Work, Work

Today was one of the most productive days I have had, while working for iBikeweek. Now that Colin has joined the team, production went by a lot quicker. We basically finished the branding/identity for the company and started the basic web design layout. Tomorrow is our first company meeting, so we will finally get to meet the whole team! Oh and all it has done today is RAIN!

iBikeweek.com

This is the website for my new job. I am the Creative Director working with an amazing team to change how people experience Bike Week. I am currently working with a programmer on the website which I hope to have up and running in the next month or so, and a phone app to follow soon. Right now there is just a banner but here is a preview of what is to come! Hope you enjoy!!

Employment

I am BEYOND stoked for my employment status. I cannot go into details really, but basically I am creating designs for an up and coming company, and will be working on mobile app and web graphics. I have been beyond stoked on my designs, and cannot remember being this excited or motivated to work on something. I will get to meet the rest of my co-workers in the next week and my goal is to have our brand look in full swing. Ahh so excited! If you get a chance next week, go by the Ring of Fire and check out my mural. I have just started on sketches for it, and HAPPY FOURTH!! AMERICA!

New Freelance Client: The Ring of Fire

Upon graduating college, I figured within a month I would be sitting in a huge design firm, popping out life changing graphics. Of course, that's what I had dreamed about, but dreams only sometime come true. Instead I have found myself struggling to get a job due to lack of experience. My words of wisdom to those who are still in school, GET AN INTERNSHIP! I have graduated and I am now PRAYING for one.
Anyways, one thing I didn't want to do was continue doing freelance work, however I find myself being somewhat successful doing it. Yes, clients can be a pain in the ass and nothing you make for them is 'perfect' or  'what they thought it would be.' I can't read minds so you HAVE to tell me EVERY detail, but that is another story. Anyways, I just met with the owner of the Ring of Fire and they are doing a re branding of the bar. They are moving away from the good ole boy theme, and going to a, yes you guessed it, beach theme. I love the country theme, but if it is going to change I am glad that I have a hand in what it will look like. Tomorrow, I begin using my Fine Art degree by painting a mural in the bar. After that I will help create the new logo and branding, and redo their sign out front. I am pretty excited to start on this in that I haven't been able to do my fine art as much as I would like too. I will keep posting updates daily.

VOTE FOR MY LOGO

I recently uploaded a logo to logopond.com . I am trying to get ppl to vote for it so that I can get it featured on the website. All you gotta do is go to the link below, and click on the red and white button to vote for it! More logo's to come and thanks for the support!

CM Punk UPDATE

Job Internship

On Friday, I will go to New Age Solution in Jacksonville, FL for a possible internship/contract position. Not only do they do website design, but also a lot of mobile phone applications including the new Microsoft Windows Phone. Check out their website, it looks really cool!

CM Punk: Revolutionary god

A tweet by Daniel Bryant sums it up best:

"With revolution dripping off his lips with every word, @CMPunk was a god last night."

I was in shock after watching what seems to be not only one of the most controversial, but also by far the best promos ever on WWE. I back CM Punk 100% and have a new found respect for the man. He stood up in front of the whole world and spoke his mind. Vince may be in on this whole thing but one thing is certain, the WWE would be fools to let him go. And as much as I hate to see him leave, I hope he wins the belt at the Money in the Bank PPV. Here is what CM Punk had to say last night on Raw:

John Cena, while you lay there, hopefully as uncomfortable as you possibly can be, I want you to listen to me.
I want you to digest this because before I leave in 3 weeks with your WWE Championship, I have a lot of things I want to get off my chest.

I don’t hate you, John. I don’t even dislike you. I do like you. I like you a hell of a lot more than I like most people in the back.

I hate this idea that you’re the best. Because you’re not. I’m the best. I’m the best in the world. There’s one thing you’re better at than I am and that’s kissing Vince McMahon’s ass.

You’re as good as kissing Vince McMahon’s ass as Hulk Hogan was. I don’t know if you’re as good as Dwayne though. He’s a pretty good ass kisser. Always was and still is.

Whoops! I’m breaking the fourth wall! (Punk waves to the camera)

I am the best wrestler in the world.

I’ve been the best since day one when I walked into this company. And I’ve been vilified and hated since that day because Paul Heyman saw something in me that nobody else wanted to admit. That’s right, I’m a Paul Heyman guy. You know who else was a Paul Heyman guy? Brock Lesnar. And he split just like I’m splitting. But the biggest difference between me and Brock is I’m going to leave with the WWE Championship.

I’ve grabbed so many of Vincent K. McMahon’s brass rings that it’s finally dawned on me that there just that, they’re completely imaginary. The only thing that’s real is me and the fact that day in and day out, for almost six years, I have proved to everybody in the world that I am the best on this microphone, in that ring, even in commentary! Nobody can touch me!

And yet no matter how many times I prove it, I’m not on your lovely little collector cups. I’m not on the cover of the program. I’m barely promoted. I don't get to be in movies. I’m certainly not on any crappy show on the USA Network. I’m not on the poster of WrestleMania. I’m not on the signature that’s produced at the start of the show. I’m not on Conan O’Brian. I’m not on Jimmy Fallon. But the fact of the matter is, I should be.

This isn’t sour grapes. But the fact that Dwayne is in the main event at WrestleMania next year and I’m not makes me sick!

Oh hey, let me get something straight. Those of you who are cheering me right now, you are just as big a part of me leaving as anything else. Because you’re the ones who are sipping on those collector cups right now. You’re the ones that buy those programs that my face isn’t on the cover of. And then at five in the morning at the airport, you try to shove it in my face and get an autograph and try to sell it on Ebay because you’re too lazy to go get a real job.

I’m leaving with the WWE Championship on July 17th. And hell, who knows, maybe I’ll go defend it in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Maybe…I’ll go back to Ring of Honor.

(Punk looks at the camera and waves)

Hey, Colt Cabana, how you doing?

The reason I’m leaving is you people. Because after I’m gone, you’re still going to pour money into this company. I’m just a spoke on the wheel. The wheel is going to keep turning and I understand that. Vince McMahon is going to make money despite himself. He’s a millionaire who should be a billionaire. You know why he’s not a billionaire? Because he surrounds himself with glad-handed, non-sensical, douchebag (censored)  yes men, like John Laurinaitis, who’s going to tell him everything he wants to hear, and I’d like to think that maybe this company will better after Vince McMahon is dead. But the fact is, it’s going to be taken over by his idiotic daughter and his doofus son-in-law and the rest of his stupid family.

Let me tell you a personal story about Vince McMahon alright. We do this whole (anti) bully campaign

Mic cut off.

Here is the link: Cm Punks Promo

I wrote all of that before finding out that CM Punk has been suspended indefinably. Here is what wwe.com posted about his promo last night: 

WWE Chairman Vince McMahon suspends CM Punk

June 27, 2011

Tags: Raw: June 27, 2011, CM Punk

Raw’s abrupt conclusion Monday night was not due to technical difficulties. The decision to suddenly end the broadcast in that manner was made by WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon, who gave this quote to WWE.com:
“CM Punk was suspended indefinitely for his unprofessional conduct as soon as Raw went off the air.”
With his WWE contract expiring on July 17, one can only assume that this suspension effectively terminates CM Punk’s tenure with WWE.

MMA EXPLODES in St. Augustine

Rumble in the Ancient City 2 TONIGHT

The latter part of this week has been a good one. I finally have found some local work, even though it was a bit stressful at times, and we have three fighters from the Combat Club FIGHTING tonight! I will try to keep up with the results and post them tonight!

Busy, rainy, but Friday

As the week comes to a close, quite a bit happened. I can hardly walk due to how sore I am from going to the combat club and Flagler gym. I got some work, today, and it went quite well, except I cannot find my stupid CS2 box with my old serial codes for my new upgrade. Super annoying. Anyways, was planning to have a fun night but I am worn out, and it is nasty out.

Rumble in the Ancient City

This weekend, June 25, 2011, local amateur MMA fighters will compete in the Second Rumble in the Ancient City. The Dead Game Fight School out of Jacksonville, FL will be putting on the event. Fighters from out own local Combat Club will be participating. Fighters include Zach Alexander, Kevin Taylor, and Ape Law Thomas Manning. Come show your support!
