Who is Federico? Federico is the name I gave to my motivation. You see, motivation is like a good friend who stands behind you whispering words of encouragement as you engage in some sort of activity that you would normally tend to avoid. Your own personal pep talker, if you will. Unfortunately, Federico hasn’t been around for the last two weeks. I can’t find him anywhere! Without him,… lifting weights, running, programming, eating healthy… just about everything I set out to do doesn’t seem quite so exciting.

Then there is Jack. Jack is my self discipline. Jack is more like a drill sergeant, constantly yelling at me, telling me to do this or that. Jack’s not as subtle as Federico and he can be downright mean at times. When Jack is around, he gets the job done. The thing is, I think Jack left with Federico. Where can they be?

So now I’m forced to hang out with Daryl and Seth. Daryl is my procrastination and Seth is my laziness. Seth just sits around all day doing nothing. He pisses me off. Daryl is good friends with Seth. He never wants to do anything now, always later. He says things like, “we can just do it tomorrow” or “we might as well start fresh next week” or “I’m to tired right now, maybe later”. He pisses me off too, especially when I take his advice.

I think it’s time for Seth and Daryl to take their leave. They’ve been hanging around too much lately. I’m going to confront them today and tell them they are not welcome here anymore. It’s going to be awkward. Wish me luck…
