I've never seen so many naked babies...

A little more of not much importance.

I'm working out for the first time in FOREVER. Like at least 2 years since I touched a weight set. I forget how much I enjoy it. Don't get me wrong, I don't get excited to head down to the gym after work but when I start I really get into it. An hour or so isn't enough, and I get frusrated that I'm not stronger. I'm a pretty big guy as far as frame wise and my back and chest are strong but my arms are oddly small. The one difference from a few years ago that I have noticed is that I push myself. Its funny because I think I was just giving up too easy. I would just focus on doing a ton of body weight exercises like push ups and pull ups to compensate. I was in decent shape but I never really solved the muscle mass issue. All of that aside, I need to continue doing this when I get back to Sicily. Just working out daily does wonders and I just need to get to the gym and once I'm there I'll be able to do the workouts. I've just been so lazy there... I've also been using my dog as an excuse to hurry home. Its a semi-valid excuse but there are plenty of days where I spend the last hour or so just bullshitting around with my work mates.

Hopefully Sean is still cool with me crashing at his place so I can stay close to the base and also the gym. Maybe I can even force him to work out too, lord knows he could use it as much as I can.

In other news, Its hot in Cambodia. I should write about this later as there isn't too much that really is fun to write about. It's just interesting to be helping so many people and the country is very beautiful. The bus ride led us through some rice paddy areas and its strange to see people use animals to do farm work. Also, there are a ton of animals wandering around and I got withing a foot of a monkey. He kind of hissed at one of the other guys but didn't seem to mind me popping a sqaut and taking like 20 photos of him.
