Carl, The Forever Natural Bodybuilder

.. ..THE BODY THAT GOD BUILTBy the Grace of GOD I am blessed to be a Natural athleteNot to offend anyone and if you are offended then you don't need to be on my page. I'd like to say that God is an awsome God. I am living proof of that fact there is no other way to explain why I'm still alive this day. I thank him every day for the changes I've gone through and the changes I'm going through all which are making me a better human being and person I've really learned how to forgive unconditionally and it is a wonderful thing.(All praise and glory to God.) (My heart and mind are free, nothing can bother me. I walk with my head held high and my feet firmly planted on the ground despite all the evil and corruption all around.)I've come a long way for those of you who don't know me or never have. I use to be a drug addict (my drug use consisted of crack, powder, acid,heroin snorted only, and many perscriptions) never used steroids ever. also an alcoholic among a lot of other criminalistic things I use to do that I'm not proud of and will not mention for logical reason, you get the point. I've died several times over yet I was saved each time I hope you understand this without me going into detail. To come from where I've been and the things I've done and seen is a miracle in it self. I should not be here right now let alone accomplishing the things I'm accomplishing. I can honestly say that I am drug free, clean and sober. I compete in Natrual Body building shows as often as I can afford The music I use in all my posing routines have a message I minister through my dream , and bodybuilding is that dream and I am pursuing it to the fullest of my ability and if I do say so I believe I'm kinda good at it , its my passion , I live for this stuff , and I do it Natrually the only supplements I use are a multivitamin , and protien shake in the morning and a pm Protien shake at night. My hope is to be an example of drug free sports and the way it was ment to be. I know this will probably offend alot of people but what the heck.Questions: 1) have you ever seen a crack head endorsed by nike 2) have you ever seen a heroin addict on the cover of fitness mag I'm pretty sure you can come up with lots more, but you get the idea I know I may be banned or black ball or something for bringing an awareness but its getting rediculus. the people using stroids now are getting younger and younger. its like its the in thing to do now I see people on a daily basis using, and for what? they don't even compete , just to walk around big for nothing. jeapodizing their health and promoting it to others. and I'm sure someone will try and tell you how safe it is, (BULL) it does damage , your kidneys, liver, and other organs are doing extra work to filter out that poison and any thing that is over worked for enough amount of time will eventually fail. do research and find out how many people die because of this stuff and how down played it is. and they don't seem to care all just to be the big man on campus. If you want real and true respect show me a guy who has trained for years never have and never will use this substance and I'll show you a man of earned quality muscle who deserves the respect and appreciation that is due. ok, got carried away. I just want to say thanks for stopping by and I love you all may every day be fill with many blessing for each and everyone of you.A few things I accomplished in a short period of time.
