  Well, Good Morning to you all!  ( I will have a VLOG of this on my YOUTUBE )   Spin4joe on youtube.com Just putting down some words via some recent thoughts that have crossed my mind.. I always seem to find myself thinking about people / and situations..  You are who you are!  Now here's where I fly off the deep end.  :) Heard from someone and .. had to listen n listen n listen..... it went something like this.. When you hold in who you truly are...  bottled up... afraid of what others may think or what may happen when you shrink down to someone your not..  thats when your stress levels begin to arise!  You are holding in  who you truly are..    Easier said then done!  at 54! still picking my way to find this road to walk on!   Another person said..   When people aren't at your level!!!  You cant!  I repeat CANT come down!  Key word  Come down!!  to their level!  you are ...

Challenges & Chapters!

  Good Morning  Day#20 of inchworms!  New Day!  Hope you all have begun this day, focused and determined just to take one step at a time. We can just hope to be consistent at moving towards whatever goals you have.  During this process, it's very common to have an off day!  So, when I constantly talk about being consistent, I DO NOT mean being perfect!   We are all in various chapters in our walk of life!  So, when you happen to look around and question why you may be going through sooo many obstacles and challenges and this person next to you is skipping along,  although you NEVER want to compare, the answer is we are all on different chapters!  And that's it! I've always said... My goal is to try to have more GOOD days than BAD! I never said I don't have off / bad / challenging days! And just like I always talk about my good days, I will be transparent about the BAD days.   Yesterday was one of those days! I'm still...

  My journey @Crunch EB vol 1.0 June 28, 2024 With so much going on, so much to think about.. my mind goes blank.. So here I am sitting & writing about my day. This road that led me into Crunch EB,  How grateful I am! I wont reveal all..  That is for another day and most likely included in my little journey called "inside the mind of a cyclist"  But, what I will reveal is the amazing people I have encountered.   Walking into that building, maybe 15 bikes?  I remember clearly the 545am class wasn't even a thought! I had evenings and weekend classes. Just coming back from covid, while most gyms were closed.  Crunch EB decided to open up.  A very smart plan because they collected all the members from nearby gyms that never reopened!  We opened and the rest was ❤! Growing from 15 bikes to now 28!  expanding the indoor community to various other time slots and days!  And its still continues to grow. Just the other day in one of my cl...

Tuesday 14th! For those of you who didnt hear my story...  My grade school Brawl :) One of those days you never forget.  I remember walking to class and getting  approached by some friends..  " heard you this person wants to fight you @3pm" i said ( what??? ) 😳.  Had no idea, what or why..  also was kinda of nervous, and scared because this was the first time.. this was like a scheduled fight  lol, perhaps the longest school day of my life.  :)  Time comes 3pm school bell rings..  Im like...   oooooh lordi! Everyone..  and I mean everyone waited after school..  this spread throughout the school like wild fire!!  I get out..  and a huge crowd walks across the street to the back of apartment buildings were I grew up.   The famous fighting circle emerges..  now im inside this pit and across was this  girl!  oooh yes I forgot to mention..  a girl wanted to beat my brains in  :...

Let’s get something straight! When I post a song, there isnt a hidden message behind me posting the song. hmmm,  So for an example,  I remember posting Rick James (Mary Jane)  Such a GOOD song!  I Hear this...  it brings me back!   and just old school music... hits me different!!   So no...  I'm not in love w/ a Mary Jane :🤣    I do get a kick out some of the responses I get...   uh oh...  Joe is in his feelings  😄.   Some music makes me smile... some make me cry.....  what can i say.....  music just hits me different!   Im ok!  if your following i post a wide assortment of music...  I hear something...  it hits me...  I post it!!   I will add..  My mom & dad play a HUGE roll for my passion for music!   mom...  I just remember that soulful R&B / Motown / Disco / Spanish dad... all Spanish So most times..  listening...

I will try my best to gather a few members who have been very helpful in the past in assisting with  special occasions.   Stay tuned for more info!  Thank you as always for tuning in!! Another day rolls around, and with a krazy economy we are facing and this new world we are living in, very important to be appreciative of what we have.  And I know we are all under going challenging  times..  and sometimes we can allow things to put lots of stress on us... which really makes some of  these challenges even tougher..   Just remember,  somethings in life wil...
