Asura's Ascension

Immortal Tribulation? It's Just A Bit Of Lightning. How Bad Could It Be?

[asuradagxxxd]

My convoluted thoughts

Anyone else just feel confused? Like you can’t understand why you don’t get the same things out of life that everyone else does? Like making all these changes seems to be a distraction but you don’t know what you’re distracting yourself from? Maybe from something that you don’t want to acknowledge

[asuradagxxxd]

Distractions

Pintrest is the devil bobby. Okay now that we got that out of the way, I’ve been considering doing something kind of soapbox videos for my youtube channel, so give me some good tips and topics? And on top of that I’ve started my college classes, so if anyone wants to listen to me talk Japanese just let me know. And I’m still trying to get my LLC. Progress is better than stagnation right?

[asuradagxxxd]

Tiresome

Well if anyone wanted to make a blog and keep it operational, bloggers would be out of the business. Ehhhh dammit. Anyways I’m thinking bout uploading live videos for a while. Speaking of videos, I hit 100 views! If you want the link I’ll post it on here, but looks like the music front is going well. Next is the workout videos XD prepared to die. Also the wuxia chapters are going through editing and some last minute touch ups before they go live. I have a new respect for wuxia writers because to come up with a whole universe full of laws, weapons, skills, etc. is pure hell, even if you’re throwing out the rulebook. Lastly, education. My college classes start in two weeks so I’ll have even less time to do what I want to but I’ll post the new schedule soon. Anyways thanks to whoever reads this. Probably nobody but whatever.

Sorry for the delay... The past two weeks have been hectic, to say the least. Good news is I’m going back on my exercise regiment starting Monday. Bad news is I have an exercise commitment starting Monday. But hey, whatever it takes to get bigger, faster, stronger.

[asuradagxxxd]

ehhh

Looking back I find that my hesitation to commit to certain lifestyles comes from the dream of always being on the move and going about, doing my own thing. But eventually I’ll have to calm down and take a deep breath and see that once I arrived where I want to be, if the person I arrived as is the one I envisioned in my head. Now that that’s out of the way! My new workout regime! Monday: ---1900-2000 MMA Tuesday: ---1700-1800 Online Work ---1800-1900 Chest/Back ---1900-2000 MMA ---2000-2100 Music Production Wednesday: ---1700-1800 Guitar Lessons ---1800-1900 Legs ---1900-2000 MMA Thursday ---1700-1800 Abs/Low Back ---1800-1900 Basketball ---1900-2000 Hulu Thursdays Friday ---1700-1730 Lats/Bi’s to failure ---1730-1800 Recovery ---1800-1900 Basketball ---1900-2000 MMA Saturday ---0800-0900 Midback/Squats ---0900-1000 Basketball ---1400-1500 Cardio Sunday ---0700-0800 Cardio ---1300-1400 Upper Pec That’s all for now. Let me know if there’s any cool stuff to do, or any workout plans you think would work well for me. I’m about to start doing my own workout videos too just for the heck of it.

48 hour rule

This was something told to me by a very close friend a while ago that’s always stuck with me. Whenever something happens. and you feel like it’s just something that you’ll need time to process, you get 24 hours. Ge tall the impact processing out of your system and carry on. The second part of this is the 48 hour rule, where if something life-changing happens. The difference is when this will have a direct influence on your future and when you’ll need to determine a new path of action for life, things of that severity. SO this week I got some pretty f--king irritating news. Basically as long as I stay with my current employer, I’ll almost never have the chance to be moved to the division that I was initially interested in because I’m good at my job where I am. The conflict of interests is so real it could kill me. So after a few hours of flipping out and yelling at people, I finally calmed down and decided that I’ll take my 48 hours and consider how to move on with my life. Just stay strong. Slow progress is better than no progress.

Re-coup

Balled too hard. Mother f***er found me. In other words, I exercised multiple muscle groups consecutively for 4 days and ended up locking my own body up. Fun shit. Ah well I’m making this full recovery and taking time to research supplementation to go along with my workout. I’m also researching other things that we won’t talk about right now. All in pursuit of hat killer back. The general online consensus is that in order to put on body mass more effectively is to eat 3000-5000 calories a day with a consistent exercise routine. All of this can be found online (along with a myriad of diets and fun exercise plans ranging from 4 weeks - whatever) . Granted it’s probably best to speak with a nutritionist/physician for the more detailed breakdown of how you should eat/lift/etc. I’m already seeing a massive change though, and must say that I'm excited to see what I’ll look like this time next year. Which brings me to the main topic of today: Why? And this is my own personal feel, so take it how you may. I chose to dive into this gym lifestyle because I wanted it for me. I work damn near 50+ hours a week, and the time I don’t spend at work I’m usually reading wuxia or sleeping. I’m completely shallow and selfish when I say that I’m doing this so I can get a huge back for my dream back tattoo, along with that model body, and arms like fucking cow thighs, and a 8 pack of well toned abs. Dammit if I want to go lift heavy shit in an effort to look better when I gaze lovingly at myself in the mirror (a seemingly impossible task, yet I bravely undertook it) then I don't have to worry about anyone else’s opinion, or their stares when I bench press a naked bar, because they don’ t have to live with my choices! I do! If I want to improve myself, and there’s nothing positive or corrective that you can contribute, bite me! I want to be a narcissistic ass like everyone else there, and this isn’t just for the gym, but for life. You can’t please everyone, and often it’s not your job to, but if you want to do something new, or try something different, you owe yourself that much because personal happiness is your number one priority. So go, rebel against the system, be free! And remember, I love me, today and everyday. Any questions?

Well, like expected, I got off work today at 1900. Super long day for no obvious reason other than to completely disrupt my plans. But I’m still going to the gym after I get this post up. Today was supposed to be leg day but I’m probably just gonna go lift and maybe try squats? In other news life has seen fit to bombard me with a battery of writers block in the creative department. But I still look to the future for better days. I’m planning on going back to school (again) and actually getting the degree this time. After all It’s free. lol thank you fafsa.

[asuradagxxxd]

As I embrace my journey to body building heights undiscovered by traveling where no nerd has gone before, I figured I should take some before and after pictures. Also I got the little medal for 10 posts on here so yay me. This is the suite life. I should get #GymNoob on a T-shirt lol

[asuradagxxxd]

Routine (After I get off work)

Monday 1800-1900 Cardio/Boxing 1900-2000 Language Tuesday 1600-1700 Chest/Back 1700-1800 Music Production 101 Wednesday 1600-1700 Language Studies 1700-1800 Leg Day 1800-1900 Guitar Lessons Thursday 1700-1800 Abs/Low-Back 1800-1900 Songwriting Friday 1600-1700 Mid Back/Upper-Pec 1700-1800 Language Saturday 0600-0700 Cardio 1000-1100 Lats/Bi’s 1100-1200 Basketball Sunday 0600-0700 RUN ???-??? Basketball/Cardio This is all tentative. I might add, take away, and adjust as I and my trainer see fit. The point is, at least I have an outline and a goal and a plan to reach it. And for that I’m more than satisfied. Asura, Out.

The overall highlight of today is I saved someone’s life. Not because of the actual act of saving the life, that’s miniscule. but because he now owes me a life debt. But that remains a topic for another time. Today I felt.... calm, blissful, motivated, energetic, weak, inadequate, heartbroken, lustful, betrayed, wicked (or vengeful) enthused, and gratified. Human’s are complex. I took my before pictures, which if I must say aren’t too bad, seeing how I’ve seen people worse for wear still accomplish great bodies. Today I was told that there would never be anyone good enough for me because I’m forever in pursuit of perfection... well... whatever. I am in pursuit of perfection but it’s only through that pursuit that I can attain the goals that I have set for myself.  I thought that I had stopped trying to give my all to impress others but I should have known that subconscious efforts don’t stop on a whim. Anyways I haven’t uploaded anything because I took my vacation time very seriously, so now It’s muscle working, and book writing, and guitar lessons, and all that FUN STUFF. here’s to remaking my life because I want to.

Day 1

so besides the 3000-5000 calories I’m supposed to eat daily (extremely not likely) and the workout for me to get massive, and the composition of my original songs, and my basketball coach  being absent from the gym today, and the hour I spent learning (absolutely nothing) more about audio production, today was actually pretty good. As I sit and chow on a cold cheeseburger I contemplate what exactly my future will be like. I see now why so many people give up on not just their resolutions, but their dreams. It’s hard to start with something new, and we live in the era of instant gratification. Especially nowadays where everyone is competing to be the most popular, the most professional, best dressed, buffest, slimmest, etc. we can’t help but compare someone else’s late success to our novice experience, not realizing that they at one point had to cross the great chasm that lies in front of us now. So to make it through this day and do as much as I did, hell yeah I accomplished a lot. #AsuraDaGxd

New year first world problems.

My wuxia novels aren't releasing super duper fast! Wahhhhh..... Anyways I’m looking to get a lot of these goals accomplished. Hopefully I’ll figure it out. At the day of writing this I’m 4 days sober. So lets get some of my goals listed down for this year. O Complete At Least Two Mixtapes And One Album O Produce My Own Song O Bench Press 250 Pounds O Shoot A Music Video O Learn Korean/Japanese/Chinese O Perform At A Nightclub O Get New DJ Equipment O Design Shirts O Acquire LLC O Make A Radio Hit O Finish 100 Chapters Of Novel O Run 18 Minute 3 Mile O Gain 70 pounds O Play Basketball Again none of this is set in stone, just a list of things for me to chase after. It’s very well possible that I don’t accomplish any of this. But if I don’t then I have nobody to blame but myself. Except that last one. That’s just some bullshit. May the odds be ever in your favor, ye who reads this.

There’s so many things that are wrong with this. “Boycott Starbucks and go back every day” loooooooool

Stupid with more time than sense.

Pictures worth a thousand words... really?

Why is it that people post more pictures here than anything? Is that What People do to express themselves? It’s just that I see more on tumblr of pictures that people like than statements that people use to express their direct opinion. Rambling, but I guess it’s because I never relate to a bunch of pictures.
