I've been blessed to gain the respect and tutulege of a champion body builder because of leading my friend through her journey. Giving is what I feel makes me grow the most. I'm so proud of my friend's victories and I cherish helping others. Being offered training by a champion because I stood out feels like a huge honor. As gentleman it's up to us to lead by example and be a positive force in the world.

I had a really nice stroll along the river with my friend and I got taken nice pictures of myself.

I wore a button up with a tank top layered with a brown faux leather jacket. I decided to order only cocktails for my 36th including a shaken dry martini in the spirit of James Bond. I got a gift cigar and had a blast smoking it as well.

Finally got a fresh pair of 501s after retiring a pair that's been trusty for a year. Always feels good to have fresh clothes.

I had my 36th birthday celebration today even though I turn 36 a week from tonight. I had a really nice dinner at BJ's Bar and Grill and then got treated to a bookstore. Love you Mom!
