So....
I'm never the best at updating things. Truth be told, I am a terrible procrastinator. Just take a look at my Statistics grade, which is a 4... yea, not proud of that either. But at least I can turn my late work in for full credit. Take the positive with the negative.
Back on track though. Today's gym time was great. Killed my delts and arms. Feeling the burn... and it feels great.
And so now I begin what will probably feel like the longest 8 hour shift in a long time. See, my vacation starts at 4 P.M. today. Really looking forward to it. Tomorrow I will be Baltimore-bound to see one of the greatest industrial metal bands of all time: RAMMSTEIN!!!!
I feel in love with the group after watching them on the Family Values Tour '98 DVD way back in the day. Yes, that's the DVD with the famous "Buck Dich" stage antic which would land them in a Massachusetts' jail a short time afterwards. But the music was beast, and I was taking German in middle school at the time. Needless to say, it spoke to me because of my love for metal and German. So, I made myself a promise that if they came back (which, after being arrested, they said they would never tour America again... and didn't for nearly 14 years), I would make sure I went to one of their shows.
That promise finally will come true tomorrow when I see them live. But the promise also came with another condition. I am to get a mohawk. Yes, I am getting one. Tonight! Much to the dismay of my parents. I will more than likely be the only guy there with a grey mohawk. (yes, I'm 25 and have grey hair... and love it) Still a little nervous about getting it. But at the same time I'm excited. It's something I've never done and I'm going to enjoy my little vacation. I have to cut it off on Sunday, because my job has a "No unusual haircuts" policy (wack!) but I need to retain my job. So, I will enjoy my little bit of rebelliousness for the 5 days I get to be who I feel is the real me: Tattooed, pierced, mohawk, my new-age biker clothing, and a IDGAF attitude.
Freedom... Even if it's only for 5 days.
Have a good one!

Happy Zombie Jesus Day... I mean Easter Sunday. :-P
I hope everyone has had a good Easter Sunday morning so far. Whether you went to church or not, believe or not, take a moment to reflect on all that you have. Be grateful for those things. Remember, some of the most important things in life are gifts from the Man above.
Be safe today, and remember restraint when you're eating you Easter Lunch/Dinner. Its so easy to overindulge, but its so hard to lose it again.
Have a good one.

... To The Beginning
... And so ended the darkness....
I like dramatic entrances. But here I am. Kenny D, also known as Hardcore Devore to several of my friends (I'll explain the nickname in a bit). I became inspired to do a blog after following my friends blogs on here. Several blogs on here deal with one or two issues. My post will be dedicated to mainly health but also random aspects of my life that mean/entertain/motivate me throughout the day.
So... before I begin ranting and raving about stuff you may or may not be interested in, let me give you a brief history of me.... starting a few years ago, because in the past few, so much has changed.
Like I said, my name is Ken. For several years I was always a big guy. Not overly fat, but close to it. I was uncomfortable with myself, but was unwilling to do anything about it. I'll freely admit, I was lazy as.... well, you get the point. That all changed when I started Weight Watchers with my mother and then-girlfriend/now-ex.
I thought I'd give it a shot since my mother had been on it for nearly 2 weeks and had lost 8 pounds. So on January 19th, 2011, I started Weight Watchers at 6ft 6in tall, weighing in at 318.6 pounds. Yea, I was a heavy dude. At first it was easy, then it became hard. But after the hardness ended, I looked at it as easy again. A life style change was what I needed, and I got it with Weight Watchers. It hasn't always been easy, but every bit of it has been worth it.
A lot has changed since that cold, dark January night 15 months ago. I graduated school, started going back to school, got a motorcycle, went through a nasty break up, moved into my own place, got back into a relationship, got promoted, and a few other things. But the one thing that has remained a constant was my drive to be healthier. I feel better about myself. Plain and simple. Still not where I want to be, but I'm getting there.
So, after all that introduction, let me just end with I love heavy metal, movies, motorcycles, and a bunch of other things that may or may not be relevant to this post. Oh yea, and the nickname, well I got it from a coworker of mine. I was telling him about my love for heavy music and it just came to him. It's stuck ever since. I'm really not that hardcore in life.
So... this post will be pretty plain. Still learning how to do all of this picture and video stuff, so I'll just leave this first post of many as it is now, and I'll see y'all later.
Have a good one.
