The weekend was crazy as usual. There was an accident when my brother and I decided to play hatchets vs. spears. In case you were wondering, hatchets always win. I hatcheted (is that a word?) the top of his wrist, laid it right open. It looked straight out of a horror film. But luckily, I was a zombie prepper years back, so I had my awesome first aid kit with me (lol, but I have ZERO formal training for first aid). I know what you're thinking, crazy, right? Well, we were in the middle of nowhere, at least an hour away from any medical facility, very drunk, and no cell phone reception. The only thing to do...fix it. So I cleaned the wound and gave him 8 stitches. Yeah, that's how I roll. The next day we went to the hospital. You know what the doctor said? I did a darn good job stitching. Ha, awesome.
Okay, time to reinvent myself...

Overall, I have some good positive mojo going into the summer season. I will be jogging...should be jogging...1 day a week, which doesn't seem like much, but it's more than I've done in the past 6 months. I'm also cleaning up my diet a little...less alcohol and such. I'm shooting to hit 220 BW by June 1st, and maybe 215 by the end of summer. That last 5 pounds is hard for me to hit if I keep lifting heavy. Jogging and less beer...jogging and less beer. We'll see.
