It's My Life Blog

I woke early on a Sunday morning. The temperature outside was a perfect running weather temperature. My arm band came in the Friday before, you know the ones to hold MP3 players or phones. (Sorry, no I-Stuff here) I put on my long shorts, a sleeveless running shirt, tied my shoes up. I plugged the headphones into my phone, slide the phone into the arm band, and strapped it to my pale arm. Three first where happen this day, the day before Halloween. First first, I was about to go out side in shorts. Has not happened since the great summer of '88, but today, 23 years later, it was gonna happen. Second first, sleeveless shirt.

The Start Hi, I am  John and welcome to my little web-spot. I decided to start this blog after year of a unhealthy life style, to document my transformation into a new body. A little about myself: I am from the devils armpit (during the summer anyways) known as Phoenix. I have seen enough scorpions hanging out above my bed to last someone 12 lifetimes.
