It was later then I wanted to wake up but when you go to sleep at 3 am its hard to get up at 9 am. Last night as my previous post tales I deactivated my facebook account. And you know what the first thing I did this morning was? I got up grabbed my phone and headed to the bathroom to take my morning glory. I haven't hardly got my pants before I was checking facebook on my iphone. I was confused when I couldn't get on. I had already forgot that I deactivated it. Wow. How lame is that? Its sad but my life was too consumed by fake relationships. Everyone I care about I call. <div><br /></div><div>anywho. I did yoga after pooping. Good night I'm sore. But it is a good quiet time in the morning. I've always heard we should have a quite time to just think. </div><div><br /></div><div>I have to work on. but soon i'll let everyone know how Ashley and I's experience in cleaning out the closet continues. Until then remember. </div><div><br /></div><div>Slay the Jay and Mob the Rob</div>tbrowder1http://www.blogger.com/profile/12179224266841451564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997866794592857902.post-63200467969026853812010-08-10T20:37:00.000-07:002010-08-10T20:39:15.096-07:00Killing Facebook.The title says it all.

The truth is life has been busy. I work all week and all weekend long. This pass weekend I worked 50 hours alone. Thats not counting the work it did during the week. I'm thinking this is to much. I started thinking I have a lot going on. I need to do something about this. While I'm not at a point where I can stop working so much I am at a point where I can start simplifying my life. </div><div><br /></div><div>Last night Ashley and I started cleaning out one closet and throwing away a bunch of stuff that we (a) didn't know we had or (b) haven't and wouldn't use ever. It was a little difficult but it was good. We got ridded of a truck load of stuff. Seriously a full truck load. From one (1) closet and we aren't even done with the closet. Why do we have some much stuff? Think of all the money we might have saved. Not only from that stuff but from having a smaller apartment cause we didn't need all the room to storage all the stuff that we don't need. Tomorrow night after we have dinner with some friends we are going to go back and finish that closet. </div><div><br /></div><div>Next I'm going to get ridded of all the books that I have that I (a) haven't read or (b) have read but I'm not going to reread them (I think I see a pattern). I will keep a handful of books but the rest are gone. After that its on to my clothes. I don't wear half of them anyways. Major overhaul on this. I have a dresser and a closet with clothes. Why you ask? I have no idea. Half of them don't fit. Some might say that it gives me a goal to lose weight and fit back into them. Come on. Lets be honest for a moment. Am I really going to lose that much weight anytime soon? NO. If I do I can for buy new ones and get ridded of the olds. Which brings me to the next point. If I buy a new shirt I have to get ridded of a old shirt. Thats something I want to live by. </div><div><br /></div><div>One last thing. I did yoga this morning. I found a website about minimalist yoga. I enjoyed it. I need to take it slower. Focus on my breathing. I'm get there. It was nice. It was hard but it was good.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I would like to say that I'm going to blog more but I can't make that promise. But instead of going to watching to tv until 3 am i'm going to read a book and fall to sleep and get up and do yoga. Its time to slow down. Time to size down. Good night.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Slay the Jay.

Originally from Chicago and now living in Nashville Belle is a smooth pop artist. More in the vein of The Swell Season Belle's songs have been on tons of TV shows such as Grey's Anatomy, One Tree Hill, 90210 ( the new one) and many more. He was voted best new artist of out Chicago by MTV (even though MTV is crap Belle is not). <div><br /></div><div>Belle is also part of a collective musical group called <a href="http://www.myspace.com/tenoutoftenn">Ten out of Tenn</a> just if a bunch of different artists from Nashville who get together make a CD and then tour. A lot of get music is made by Ten out of Tenn so I highly suggest going and checking out the different artist. </div><div><br /></div><div>The song is called "Static Waves" The video below is not done by Belle but it is the song full song with something watch. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/u-e8z8gkPH0&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/u-e8z8gkPH0&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />Check out <a href="http://www.myspace.com/andrewbelle">Andrew Belle</a>tbrowder1http://www.blogger.com/profile/12179224266841451564noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997866794592857902.post-3551585348866685192010-04-15T08:57:00.000-07:002010-04-15T09:06:59.733-07:00Circa SurviveAs i'm sure yall know Circa Survive third album is coming out next week. I've listen to a few songs and I can tell you this. It sounds for a production point completely different. The first two CD where released by Equal Vision but this new one is being release by Altantic Records. The new stuff sounds from a production point of view a big label release. Its more polished, its bigger sounds and its cleaner, its more compressed. That doesnt mean its bad, it just means they stepped up their game. Listen to it. see what you think.<div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.myspace.com/circasurvive">http://www.myspace.com/circasurvive</a></div><div><br /></div><div>For examples of that i'm talking. Before listening to the new stuff go listen to their song "Stop the F@$&ing Car" its on their myspace the last song. Listen for like a minute then go listen to their new song "Get Out" the second song on myspace. Do you hear the difference?</div>tbrowder1http://www.blogger.com/profile/12179224266841451564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997866794592857902.post-13593526070246486952010-04-13T08:59:00.001-07:002010-04-13T09:00:52.182-07:00Manchester Orchestra loves 50 centok so i'll post something with more meaning later but i thought this was funny and figured you might too. <div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtIUGwpLUC8">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtIUGwpLUC8</a></span></span></div>tbrowder1http://www.blogger.com/profile/12179224266841451564noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997866794592857902.post-63992832840993306112010-04-08T07:37:00.000-07:002010-04-08T07:50:23.708-07:00So about IcelandI know I promised everyone that we were going to visit iceland next.

Today we are in Scotland to check a band I just came across. They are called "Frightened Rabbit" and they are good. They have been on tour opening up for Modest Mouse. Their single is called "Swim Until You Can't See Land" though its not my favorite song by them it is still a really good song, and it is the only official music video up. <div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SzjERZU3wbY&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SzjERZU3wbY&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>If you liked that song you check out the song "The Modern Leper".

Nevertheless I feel the pressure to write more. <div><br /></div><div>The Swell Season is basically two people. Guitar player and singer Glen Hansard and Piano player and signer Marketa Irglova. They became famous as a group when they stared and wrote the music for the movie "Once" and if you having seen the movie and you like this band then you will like the movie. Thats the Browder Promise.

He is one of those "I'm more redneck then you and i'll prove it by how many redneck stereotypes I can say in one song" kinda artist. Anywho I want you to listen to the song "Whistlin' Dixie" and pay close attention to the second verse.<div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VmLXHjuyg0c&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VmLXHjuyg0c&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Did you hear it?

Maybe its just me but when people have their profile picture to be one of them smiling and have a good time and then their statue is sad, I find this to be awkward at best. So I propose that facebook created a feature where people could store different pictures into different "mood' categories such as Happy, Sad, Angry, etc... For example, the Happy category you could load a picture of you smiling and then in the Sad category you could load a picture of you crying. Then when you are updating your status you could also update your "mood" and then your profile picture would display the emotion that you status is talking about.<div><br /></div><div>But regardless of the greatness of the idea people would not use it, or put happy pictures in the Sad category and say they are being "ironic", or the feature would become useless because we would be to lazy to use it. But nonetheless I think its a neat idea. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>tbrowder1http://www.blogger.com/profile/12179224266841451564noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997866794592857902.post-7323874391365837662009-09-10T09:52:00.001-07:002009-09-10T09:57:05.540-07:00Have we gotten lazy.I know i'm not the greatest at posting new blogs but either are some of you.

Tuesday i worked out fine and thursday i worked fine just like normal. and i was eating right up until thursday. But thursday night my stomach started hurting and it kept hurting so i didnt workout on friday and then i went to a walk in clinic to see if they could make the pain go away. The Doctor was concern that it might be my appendix so he sent me to the hospital for more testing. I stayed there until 11 pm on friday. They ran test and couldn't figure out what it was so they sent me home. I still hurt a little but not much but needless to say i did not work out of eat well since thursday.

I am 5'10ish. I have brown hair and a brown/yellow/red beard. I weight 252.5 pounds as of tonight. Starting tonight I will be conducting an experiment on my body. I have taken measurements and pictures of my body as it currently looks. I have not photoshopped any of the pictures or changed any of the measurements. I will be starting a new workout routine this week and every time I workout I will be posting a blog about what I did that day in the gym. My goal is to look good naked. I will be taking weekly measurements and and weighing in every Sunday evening. I might take pictures but I might not. I want to be healthy. So first I will show what I am now and then tell you what I want to be in the future and how I plan on doing this.<br /><br /><br />MY BODY:<br />Weight: 252.5 (with boxers on)<br />Biceps: 14.5 inches<br />Thighs: 29 inches<br />Waist: 45 inches<br />Belly: 45.5 inches<br />Chest: 47 inches<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bs96Viw2Dgc/Soiyhzn8oRI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Nj6E5bS8kVY/s1600-h/IMG_0011.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_bs96Viw2Dgc/Soiyhzn8oRI/AAAAAAAAAAM/Nj6E5bS8kVY/s320/IMG_0011.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370738849502503186" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bs96Viw2Dgc/SoiyiddEASI/AAAAAAAAAAU/HQsiJyDP4b0/s1600-h/IMG_0012.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bs96Viw2Dgc/SoiyiddEASI/AAAAAAAAAAU/HQsiJyDP4b0/s320/IMG_0012.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370738860731138338" /></a><br /><br />That is where I'm at. This is where I want to go.<br /><br />MY GOALS<br /><br />Weight: 215<br />I want to wear a size 32 jeans comfortably. I want only my chest to touch my shirt not my chest and belly. I want to look good naked. I want to do this by Christmas. I dont want to take any supplements other then protein shakes and what not.<br /><br /><br />That's the beginning and the end and here is the vehicle.<br /><br />MY WORKOUT ( Thank you Jason Bragg)<br /><br />Sunday: Off<br />Monday: Off<br />Tuesday - Chest & Triceps<br />Wednesday - Off<br />Thursday - Back & Biceps<br />Friday - Legs & Abs<br />Saturday - Shoulders & Traps<br /><br />I will do this workout this way due to my work schedule at the studio. I will also be doing cardio as well. In 4 weeks I plan on changing my workout to keep my body guessing but I have not chosen how I will change it. I will also be changing my diet as best I can. More on this later.<br /><br />Lastly i will along with my workouts be taking notes on how i feel not just phyiscally but also emotionally.<br /><br />HOW I FEEL:<br /><br />I feel tired and slow. I feel full and uncomfortable most of the time. I feel weak and completely out of shape.<br /><br />So there it is. I am doing this online so I will have accountability to stick to my workout and reach my goals. I hope my readers will help me and get on to me if I cheat. Ok. I'm done.tbrowder1http://www.blogger.com/profile/12179224266841451564noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997866794592857902.post-79587277889024080662009-08-09T21:56:00.000-07:002009-08-09T21:58:45.046-07:00BRAND NEWso if you dont know Brand New's new CD comes out on September 22nd. they just posted the first single off of the CD on their myspace.

The other guiding motto is that they want to follow the example of the first church in the book of Acts. Now stay with me here. It has become almost biblical that all christians should be Republican and pro freedom and go America. That is an interesting stand for christian, to be more specific, Church of Christer's to take. To be all about democracy and all about doing what the Bible saids and what the first church did. I wonder what Bible they read. Cause to be honest i've never read about democracy in the Bible. Read this:<br /><br />"32All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. 33With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. 34There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need." Acts 4:32-34<br /><br /> Now that doesn't sound like a democracy. That sounds a lot like Communism. Sharing everyones possessions. Selling they homes and giving the money the people in charge so that no one would be in need. Don't get me wrong this is a great and wonderful thing. A world where no one needs anything is a world we know nothing of. But it sure the heck sounds more like a communist then a republican. <br /><br />I'm not saying that the Bible is communism over democracy. In fact I'm saying that the Bible isn't talking about politics at all. The Bible is silent about stating what is the holiest government form. I think christians should to. May G-d forgive us for speaking about what we don't know. We are all fools yelling at the wind.tbrowder1http://www.blogger.com/profile/12179224266841451564noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3997866794592857902.post-20101189796474674992009-06-27T12:38:00.001-07:002009-06-27T12:53:45.741-07:00Gay PrideI read an interesting article the other day. I was about the <a href="http://www.thenashvillefreepress.com/articles/2009/06/18/pride-prejudice-nashville-pride-and-the-lgbt-civil-rights-movement.10568">Gay Pride</a> event that took place last week in Nashville. One of the statements may an impression on me and i wanted to share it with you.<br /><br />"With all the changes, including a significantly higher acceptance if not support for the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, Pride events still take place in a nation which, among other things, routinely kicks “homosexuals” out of the military; a nation which offers no employment or housing protections for LGBTQs; a nation which has a “Defense of Marriage Act” as law."<br /><br />It made me think about my view on LGBT's rights. I think that LGBT should have rights. They should have rights to marry. I believe that sexual preference should not play a part in employment and housing. Now listen closely. I do believe that homosexuality is a sin, but i do not believe that it is a greater sin then drunkenness or lying. But if liars and drunkers can marry then so should LGBT people. A lot of christians may disagree with me but until someone can show me biblical proof against me or we stop allowing the drunk and the liar to marry I will stand by my believe. <br /><br />I would like to see what other people think about this statement.tbrowder1http://www.blogger.com/profile/12179224266841451564noreply@blogger.com1
