Get Ripped & Rip The System

This is what happens when one man takes back his life. 3 Years ago I began the journey to transform my body and my life. In that time I've gone from a 218lb mess to a 165lb fitness addict. I want to show people that this sort of transformation is possible and I want to inspire/help them along their own journey. I think that in our modern hyper-capitalist society we are dehumanized into believing that we have no control over our situations and that this concept ties over from our political sphere to our domiciles and right down to our own body images and self worth. WELL IT'S TIME TO TAKE IT BACK! I don't want to stress judgement, we all start somewhere, but rather encouragement. You can do this, We can do this!

I live in Oklahoma.

I am located not 15 miles from where this storm took place today. Back in 1999 on May 3rd a violent tornado ripped through the EXACT areas that the one today did and took 36 lives on that date in 1999.

All of my family members are accounted for, but there are many, many people in my state without homes, power, transportation, or anything that they’ve known for their entire lives. They are missing their own family and friends.

Moore, OK looks like an apocalyptic style warzone.

The associated press just posted: “State medical examiner’s office: 37 killed in Oklahoma tornado; death toll expected to rise.”

edit: The death toll is now up to 51 and still climbing.

edit 2: The death toll was raised to 91. (4:00 AM on 05/21/13)

I hope that any of my followers out there that live here in Oklahoma are safe and well. These tornado outbreaks have also ripped through some of Texas and Kansas, so again for all of you living in those areas as well I hope that you and your family are safe and sound.

This tornado today, what they are saying is the worst one in history, ripped through neighborhoods, elementary schools, hospitals, businesses, and farms. The devastation here is unreal. There are so many children and people still missing.

Now, the point of this post. I am asking for help for my state. Please help. Not for me, but for my neighbors, friends, and for people who are in desperate need. Please.

The best way to assist families is to make a donation to http://www.redcross.org/okc or http://www.redcross.org or by texting REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation. If you’d like to donate to Salvation Army instead you can text STORM to 80888.

having just survived a personal tragedy that truly pales in comparison to this. please consider helping out if you’ve got the means, even if not recovery for awareness goes a long way, trust me.

You mean the generation that paid three times as much for college to enter a job market with triple the unemployment isn’t interested in purchasing the assets of the generation who just blew an enormous housing bubble and kept it from popping through quantitative easing and out-and-out federal support? Curious.
