    So I gained about 16 2/3% over last time. I'm definatly seeing the difference in my arm, especially when I flex. This is the highest amount of push-ups I've done in my life in one sitting. My upper body strength has always been the weakest part of my body, even at my peek when I was around 15~17, I don't know if I could have done this with push-ups, maybe, but not sure if I would have really tried it. It always frustrated me about my push-up ability, and now I'm finally pushing my limits. First day of classes is August 23rd. That means we'll see how many I am able to pull off on August 22nd. I've been thinking about the goal I set for myself. Not sure if I'm going to try and make a time limit as well. For Zach's air force PT test, he does 70 push-ups in 1 min. Maybe a 2 min time limit.. we'll see. I have 6 more work-out days for push-ups to go, and based on my progress thus far, it's looking pretty good. Monday, Wednesday and Friday = Upper body (push-ups) and Abs(crunches/sit-ups); Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday = Lower body (legs), Sunday = rest. That's what I'm making my current work-out "program" be.

    Starworld... is now officially unimportant and..... grrrr towards me. Day before I left for Arkansas (Wednesday), home office came down again. They asked Steve to leave, as a result, Red quit, not just because of them asking Steve to go, but a few other reasons. I'll still get free movies from the place for awhile, but it's so stupid. I've lost a little respect for Matt now as well, and have no feelings towards helping the place out now. I'd go in more detail, but it's a bit hard to communicate and explain, especially to those outside, which is basically everyone. It's very sad, and I wonder if how much that place will really fall apart in the next months and year.

    On a happy note, I got a letter from Zach over at officer boot camp. He's doing well, it's stressful, but he's getting through it. I think I might have my dates wrong on when I thought he'd be coming back. Maybe a week off, or half a week off, rather. I think he'll be back around the 17th, where before I was thinking 12th or 15th.

    Arkansas was fun. I got to see my Grandma Smith and talk with her about things. I also watered her lawn and plants, and raked up leaves in the front yard. My Aunt Sharon, her husband, and my cousin Anna came up Friday night. Uncle Herald ended up grilling for lunch today before we left to come back. All-in-all a good visit.

    I'm sure I'll be heading over to "teh apartment" before too long and seeing the guys. I might try and pick-up the tickets for the concert tomorrow evening, if I can figure out where I would do that, else I'll just be picking them up the day of. Anyways, things to do.

    TUMEO.
