Don't know what happened.  I was on a great schedule with lifting and being on top of everything.  I got a little sick, maybe I lost my energy with it.   Definitely played too many games today.

Need to wake up tomorrow and own. 

It's really time to discover my calling.  I'm getting hung up. 

First of the Month

Breakfast: 3 eggs/mushroom (22g)
Lunch: oatmeal/pb/milk (20g)
Dinner: turkey stuffer (20g)
After: Protein Powder (50g)

500 Days of summer made me reflect on man really discovering his purpose.  The star put his relationship before his true calling in life.  His denial caused her to flake.  The movie reminded me of why I continually strive to better myself, so I'll get what I want.  You can't coast, you have to put the work in.

I'm regretting eating all this cereal late, but I did great today otherwise. 

I want to impress myself by April.  I can do it.

The Scribe - Early Edition, incomplete
[info]alex
The Scribe – Ryan LePage defends Cedric Roberts, a known Florida drug czar, who was taken in due to charges of major drug trafficking, theft, armed robbery, and two counts of rape which Roberts boasted about during a break in the pretrial behind closed doors.  Roberts was not aware of how serious the charges against him were when he was first arrested, he assumed LePage would be enough to help him get out of any situation.  He was a high priced lawyer, but his reputation preceeded him and he was known to handle any dirty case.   Roberts never had a problem telling LePage  the truth as long as it would help him win or get a rise out of him.  LePage was disgusted at Roberts, not due to his unethical business practice or rape charges but because of his constant sniffling and “street” accent.  He hated how stereotypical Roberts appeared to him, “inferior,” he thought.  LePage would usually defend Roberts without a problem because it was obvious to the state that because of his status and wealth, chasing after him would only cost them too much money.  Roberts had always paid in cash and would throw in drugs as added incentive; they were never turned down.       But this time was different, Roberts was clearly looking at long jail time and for the first time outside of a court room looked very serious while asking what LePage was planning on doing to get him out.  His tone changed, and for the moment he had become Cedric Roberts the man.  The only was out was to help the DEA in any way they needed him, which was of course to give up others.  And down the list Robert’s went, giving up almost every person he had ever known or done business with, whether they were dirty or not, friend or not.  It was his word against theirs and it was eaten up almost the whole list was found guilty, including his aunt, uncles, and two cousins.  Everything Roberts owned was seized, he destroyed the lives of hundreds of people and received a mere probation as innocent men served mandatory minimum sentences of 7-15 years.

LePage saw the regret in Robert’s eyes who escaped two life sentences by becoming one of the largest Narcs in the regions history, he was just worried about getting paid before the U.S. government. 

LePage lived what he believed was an extravagant life.  He is rich, and lives a life that unbeknownst to him highly resembled that of Roberts.  He established a crack addiction and would sleep with different women nightly and discard them just as quickly.  He was never touched by anything and was labeled by the media by having no conscience after constantly choosing to defend criminals for the large payout.  He himself was even impressed at how much money people were willing to throw at him when their lives crumbled around him.  That’s what he was fed on, the tarnished money of stale drug deals and prostitution, with it he had grown fat.    

Only weeks later, Roberts had been executed.  The job was sloppy and LePage was surprised they hadn’t announced a family member as the killer by then.  Arrogant. 

The Scribe - Your drug war has failed (Rough Track 1)

Root : E, C, G, D6add9

Intro
Cities fall, times have changed
Caught in the middle, Of a war not fading
Amongst all the filth, People work
and they stop to question all the dirt.

Second Intro
How could this have happened?
How did this happen?

Verse
Some call me arrogant, To live in such denial
But I’m not the one that’s, Here on trial
The accused “Ceddy R” , Local drug czar
Pushes poppers, While avoiding coppers
Verse pt2.
The streets echo the guilt of his theft, of his rape, and his murders
A street light, he controls the traffic , He controls the traffic

Chorus
How could this have happened?
How did this happen?
How could this have happened?
How did this happen?

Verse
I don’t come cheap but my , reputation preceeds that of any
lawyer you need to defend the dirt, defend the dirt
Cedric Roberts used to boast, Behind pretrial doors
about the wealth he made from junkies, and fucking all the whores
Verse Pt2.
And it never crossed his mind, that he’d be doing any time
I’m his golden ticket, In the penal system

Chorus2
And the people chant, How could this have happened?
How did this happen?
To our little town, where our homes used to be safe
the crime has entangled our youth at their ankles

Breakdown
It’s a wrecking force, that’s wrecking front doors
It’s a wrecking force, that’s wrecking front doors
It’s a wrecking force, that’s wrecking front doors
It’s a wrecking force, that’s wrecking front doors
