Inspired to work out

I am now watching an infomercial about working out. Would I have the stamina? That is something that is of great concern to me. I did in fact lose some weight since I have exercised. It feels great. Exercise isn't a guilty pleasure. It isn't something that is a chore. In fact, it is something that I enjoy doing and looking forward to doing every single day. I could cry at the times when I thought that exercise would be a chore.

Prayer for the persecuted

Father in Heaven, you make your sun shine
on good and bad alike.
Your Son Jesus Christ died for us all
and in his glorious Resurrection
He still retains the five wounds of his Passion.
With his divine power he now sustains
all those who suffer persecution and martyrdom
for the sake of their fidelity
to the faith of the Church.
Merciful and mighty Father,
do not allow Cain to return again to murder
helpless Abel, innocent Abel.
May persecuted Christians around the world
remain, like Mary, their Mother,
together at the foot of the cross
of Christ the Martyr.
Comfort those menaced by violence
and those oppressed by uncertainty.
May your Holy Spirit of love
make fruitful the witness and the blood
of those who die forgiving. In the name of Jesus.

Amen.

How I am feeling about exercise

I have done a lot, okay, some exercise today. Exercise is something that has motivated me to overcome my anxiety. I know that is for another blog but so far, I am feeling so much better. It is not only physically that I am feeling well, it is also mentally. I am more motivated to exercise than ever before. I look forward to exercise, for it is not a chore for me. It isn't a form of drudgery anymore. I know that this could also be on another blog. I just feel great, yet tired.

Happy Birthday, Sly Stallone

Sly Stallone is one of many actors I have grown up watching. This past weekend I have been watching the Rocky Marathon. Spike TV, however, did not air "Rocky Balboa". I actually liked the last two films. Yes, I even like "Rocky V". Over time, I have begun to like the movies more and more. Over the last year, I have been watching "F.I.S.T", the "Rocky" saga, the "Rambo" saga, "Cliffhanger", "D-Tox", "Tango and Cash", "The Specialist", and the first two "Expendable" movies. His movies are movies that I believe hold up pretty well. He is actually a pretty decent actor. I, for one, have become a fan.

Guilty pleasures II

Yesterday I wrote about and put up some "guilty pleasure" videos on this very blog. The good thing about guilty pleasures is that no one has the right to judge what another 's taste are. What is not considered high-brow to some doesn't matter to you. It is a guilty pleasure of yours. That is also how I feel about these videos.

"Fancy" by Iggy Azalea

"Curvy Cola Bottle" by Chico

"Wheel of Fortune" by Ace of Base

"Come and Get Your Love" by Real Mccoy

"Informer" by Snow

"What That Thang Smell Like" by Black Jesus

"Get Low" by Lil' Jon

Guilty Pleasure songs

This is a "I don't care anymore" type of blog entry. I admit that I have taken into account what other people think. I just have to realize that it is okay to have opinions and to have feelings and thoughts on my very own. Music is also one of those things. I love this blog as well because I get to express my feelings online. This time it is about my guilty pleasure songs. I personally love these songs from these artists. Here are the videos below:

"Worth it" by Fifth Harmony ft. Kid Ink
