Crossfit Games

Over the summer I had started going to crossfit classes at the crossfit gym by my house, but haven't gotten to go very much anymore since I started school. This weekend though I was able to go watch the crossfit games that happened at the gym I went to. For those of you that don't know what crossfit is,

"CrossFit describes its strength and conditioning program as “constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement," with the stated goal of improving fitness (and therefore general physical preparedness), which it defines as "work capacity across broad time and modal domains."
Workouts are typically short—20 minutes or less—and intense, demanding all-out physical exertion. They combine movements such as sprintingrowingjumping rope, climbing rope, flipping tires, weightlifting, carrying heavy objects, and many bodyweight exercises; equipment used includes barbellsdumbbellsgymnastics ringspull-up barskettlebellsmedicine balls, and boxes for box jumps."

Check out these photos and videos I took while at the crossfit games this weekend. They can definitely motivate you to  workout, especially since the new year is coming. Start a resolution to get fit and maybe crossfit!

Hello Boys!


I am so sad that the Twilight Series if officially over. Throughout the past several years I have attended the midnight premier for this saga series. Last night I attended the final movie in the sequel, Breaking Dawn Part 2, and it is definitely my favorite one of all! The fight scenes were amazing and Edwards and Bella's love story finally finished with a happy ended. I wish they would have added about another 1 hr 1/2 worth of film, but it was still amazing! I will miss you Twilight, next series I can't wait for is Fifty Shades of Grey, which will be EPIC!!!



Ciao followers and twihards,

Halloween: Loofa!

This year for Halloween my friend came up with the great idea of being a Loofa! 

To create these costumes, we bought about 24 yards of Tull and it into squares. Then we twisted each piece and safety pinned them to two separate spandex pieces, a spandex bottom and and bando top. Then take a rope and tie it around your waist as the string that loofas hang from. Super easy and a fun to create with friends. 






We ended up walking down Mill Ave in our costumes on Halloween and had so much fun, check out the pictures!







Well Ciao my lovely followers,

Having a Coke with You


Having a Coke with You
is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, IrĂșn, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne
or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona
partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian
partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt
partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches
partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary
it is hard to believe when I’m with you that there can be anything as still
as solemn as unpleasantly definitive as statuary when right in front of it
in the warm New York 4 o’clock light we are drifting back and forth
between each other like a tree breathing through its spectacles
and the portrait show seems to have no faces in it at all, just paint
you suddenly wonder why in the world anyone ever did them
I look
at you and I would rather look at you than all the portraits in the world
except possibly for the Polish Rider occasionally and anyway it’s in the Frick
which thank heavens you haven’t gone to yet so we can go together the first time
and the fact that you move so beautifully more or less takes care of Futurism
just as at home I never think of the Nude Descending a Staircase or
at a rehearsal a single drawing of Leonardo or Michelangelo that used to wow me
and what good does all the research of the Impressionists do them
when they never got the right person to stand near the tree when the sun sank
or for that matter Marino Marini when he didn’t pick the rider as carefully
as the horse
it seems they were all cheated of some marvelous experience
which is not going to go wasted on me which is why I am telling you about it
