Working Out and The Art of Nonconformity

I've recently been following Chris Guillebeau's site The Art of Nonconformity with much interest.

Chris is on a mission to visit all the countries of the world, by the time he is 35. He is 31, at the time of this writing, and has already visited 111 countries at current count.

Quite amazing to say the least; to do what you want on your own terms.

Chris pays for his adventures using money he earns selling his e-book info products from his website.

I admit that I broke down and bought one of his e-books called the Unconventional Guide to Working for Yourself, even though I already work for myself. It is a good read and I can see how it can be helpful to those looking to get their feet wet working for themselves online.

I consider myself to be a non-conformist. I'm never too thrilled when I feel society telling me where my place is or what I should be doing with my life.

Life IS too short.

I spent my fair share of time behind a desk doing what everyone thinks I should be doing. No more.

I admire and take motivation from what Chris is doing. Somehow reading his stories makes me feel like I'm not so crazy for wanting to do my own thing. If you get the inclination to visit Chris's site, I highly recommend you do it.

I want to take my blog in a bit of a new direction while trying to stay on base with my workout journal.

Further to my Doggcrapp workouts (the name is about as nonconforming as you can get!) I'll be talking a bit more about life in general, things that motivate me, things that piss me off, etc.

BTW, if there's anything specific, in regards to fitness, that you would like to see me write more about, feel free to let me know in a comment or send me an e-mail to muscle.building.workouts.journal [at] gmail.com.

Have a good day, I'm off to pay my taxes \:-|
