Since I was young, I have always been fascinated with rap music.  Yup… a fat, white, middle class Texan kid bangin’ 2pac.  Go figure.  I was the kid that didn’t wear thuggish clothes or anything… didn’t have chains, an occasional crooked hat.  I just had a love for the music.  So as I am grown now, you would think it would have wore off… but that is not the case.

Rap music is in my soul and if nothing else it has tought me lessons in life.  These are the 9 rap songs I choose to live by and my reasons for doing so.

Make Homemade Girl Scout Cookies - Baking Bites

I know those of you trying to lose weight will hate me for this one, I kind of hate myself a little.  I have already been approached by the girl scouts, bought cookies - I’m sure they are fixing to be in and will be haunting me for weeks.  For those that didn’t order any, or want to be thrifty - make your own with the recipes provided by Baking Bites.  I’m going to link this under the “health” category… since it is sure to ruin your health. haha

Improve Your ‘Hunched Over The PC’ Posture - Dumb Little Man

If you are like me, constantly on the computer - 8-10 hours later you creak and crack your way to an upright position and hate life afterwards.  These couple of stretches are a great way to curve that problem and hopefully build the muscles enough to make those problems go away.

So a week from tomorrow I will be hitting up Nashville Tennessee (or Cashville Ten-”a”-key… if your slightly gangster) for the American Physical Therapy Association’s Combined Sections Meeting.  This is basically a big conference for Physical Therapists that brings them together for classes, networking and of course new products. 

Enter… Dynamic Therapy Solution.

So we will have our software on display to the nation again, hopin’ to land some big fish… ya dig.  So here’s to suits & dress shoes for 3 days and wanting to poke yourself in the eye to take the focus off the throbbing pain in your back reminding you that you are fat and getting too old to simply stand and smile for 8 hours.  Was that a run-on sentence?  My apologies to all my past English teachers.

No - it will be cool, it is rather rougher than I thought it would be.  Couple that with some early morning & late night flights (you take what you get when its free on your FF miles eh?)… you got a recipe for disaster.  haha  This week my wife is gone, she gets back and I head out… definitely will be a tough one.

I am not going to dwell on having to go to Nashville though, never been there - excited to go.  Wish it was different circumstances, but excited nonetheless.  I think we are staying at the Opryland Resort which is an awesome hotel.  So being positive that I can make it out alive and have some stories to tell.

My goal is to blog at least once a day while I’m gone, but I really don’t have a clue what our schedule is going to be like, so I will do my best.  Snap a few pics if possible.

Either way, its coming fast and this fat kids jumpin’ hurdles.

All BBQ starts with a great fire… a perfect fire if you will.  Mastering that fire will create a consistent cooking time, flavor and overall barbeque experience.  I will do my best to outline the methods I use to create the “perfect” barbeque fire, which will in turn point you in the right direction towards creating the “perfect” BBQ.  In this article, you will learn cooking temperatures, fire building techniques and wood selection (for flavor).

Please do not feel hurt or argumentative in the fact that I will not speak of the gas or heating element alternatives to grilling, smoking and cooking.  I am not knocking the George Foreman Grill you got for Christmas last year… nor am I ignoring the fact that steaks, burgers and tons of other meats taste awesome coming from a gas grill.  Knocking anything is not my intention - at all.  I simply do not know those elements like I do BBQ & grilling with wood or charcoal products.  Accept my apologies for not explaining it… if you write it and it is well written and comprehensive, I will post that along side mine.  I am a lover of all things BBQ - please believe it.
