LIFE IS GOOD...

I`m sittin`at the office at the old Zone shop with flu...
A glass of Treo is bubbling on the desk, my nose rinning
& my body feels warm & sore...
Nah I can`t get my ass down to the gym for some days now
but what the heck even though I`m eager to train
I still have plenty of time before the summer is here!
And hey I`m like really really happy!

I have the BEST & HOTEST woman in the world at my side
these days & I tell yall that this lady is spoiling me big time on all levells!
For example once again I have a good omelette for lunch here
at work that she cooked for me!

Shes everything I ever wanted on ALL levells all in one person
& she got STYLE in spades! Or what do yall say?! :)

The business at the shop has once again been GOOD after
being slow since the beginning of the world wide ressesion!
Seems like people finnaly are buying top notch supplements again
& skippin`the bullshit junk sold on the net!
I keep my fingers crossed that the much better finacial times are here to stay!

The 22" s are still spinning & I`m riding in STYLE when travelling
those six hours every Saturday to take home & leave my daughter!
So right now at this moment in time I have absolutely nothing to complain
about except having the flu!
I will be back soon at the gym with a renewed vigor
ready to do some seriouse battle!
Life is all good!

Love yall!

ordinary everyday life & his personal sides!
...No bullshit...
Just the real life of ZONE CAPONE!!

-I live alot inside my head.....I like it in there....I live my life inside my own little world...
The "real" out side world can sometimes be cruel...But realy what can we do but to go with the flow?

The motto in my life is to live here & now....Not tomorrow in your planned future that may never be...
...Well ofcourse ya gotta plan a little...but dont get stuck in it...
Its right now that is the most important time! Remember to never take anything for granted...
Life is only temporary...Were all just passing thru...Money & shit aint that important...
Appreciate the love, support and friendships you have......because in the end, that is all that matters.

I built my life around my lifestyle...I sell supplements in my own shop..I have no boss.
My big passion is to train & to compete every once in awhile...
I do what ever I want...No matter what other people think!
I am my own boss in my own world!
To me life is like a movie... There are alot of "sideshows" walking around that forgot
that they have the leading role in their own movie...
Dont be one of them...do like me..be a MOVIE STAHHH!!
SO TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR LIFE!!
If I can do it so can you!!

LOVE AND CHANGES...

The Games new album Murda` games chronicles bangin` my speakers
here at the office of the old Zone shop and I`m feeling reborn!
Did 18 sets of gunz this morning and after a 3 months long shoulder injury
making me flat & soft it felt like medicine to my soul
to be able to train almost all out again
and I`m feeling better than I’ve done in a long time!
My arms are still pumped and I`m seriously in love!
Yes it actually feels like I won the lottery when it comes to love
after meeting that blond bombshell about four months ago!!
The way we met was kind of crazy too...without going into details it was
woodo dolls and magic!

You are the best thing happening to me in a long long time baby!
You always say the right things to me and you touch my heart in all the right places!
And on top of it you are crazy enough to cope with a guy like me...
Thanx for letting me be your man!

When it comes to the Zone shop I`m playing with the idea to move on and do something else...
Yes you heard right!
I invested in a tattoo equipment and my dream now is to one day
become a tattoo artist and rebuild this website into
Zones Muscle ink and get my hands dirty in the tattoo industry!

It would be something eh?!
Do I have what it takes? I don`t know yet...but heres the very first outline
I ever done at it`s not that bad for a fresh beginner eh?

Guess all I have to do is to practice...I really belive that art is in my blood...

I`ve been running the Zone shop for +20 years now and quite frankly...
...even if I still love it...
...it may be time to move on and do something else?
So maybe Zone shop is for sale?
If so it has to be someone seriouse about the whole thing
as Zoneshop feels like my child...
But with the right buyer I could share this website with you making it into 2 sections..
One muscle site whats yours and then my muscle ink section...
(After all I got a whooping + ONE HUNDRED MILLION HITS
to this website as we speak)
I have all these ideas how to do it and they are SO cool!
Just playin`with the idea but if you are seriously interested to buy
the Zone shop you should contact me right here and now when I`m in the mood
and before I change my mind...
;)

ANOTHER DAY...

Woke up early...lonely in my bed with my daughter so so far away from me..
...another Tuesday...feeling lonely...rain pouring down my window...east coast Sweden...
Get my nude ass up...pouring down a protein shake...wash my teeth...
Put on those brown and black baggy Gasp pants...a dark blue XXXL top and my
red phat farm boots..and a beenie on my shaved head...
Get out to my phat Dodge Magnum...sit down and put on the stereo...
Slim thugs album Boss of all bosses banging my speakers as I drive down to the gym...
Get in...down the stairs...empty...to early for most people I guess...but not for me...
Nah...I have no girlfriend...no life....and not my child this week...
It`s just me and the iron..all alone...put on 300kg on the Hammer leg press...
Fuck warm-ups...4 sets...8-10 reps...then hack squats...not even counting the weights...why bother?
I just bang out rep after rep...until my lungs scream..lactic acid build-up in my legs...
Blood flowing...feeling alive..then I sit down doing some extenssions...10 reps..
...then Im out! Legs so pumped I can barely walk...
...still alot of time until I open the shop...
I undress and put myself into the tanning booth...
Im single a have to stay hot looking......
A quick shower...then a walk across the street to my shop...
Another day at work...selling the best supplements ONLY...playing some music on Spotify...
...writing this piece...then a cigar on my balcony tonight with my homeboy Andreas...
...the guy with the steel leg the guts from hell and all those bad ass tatts...
Were solving some world problems together before calling it a night...
Another lonely night again...dreaming of HER...
another day gone in the life of the iron thug...

LOVE!

TO LIVE BY THE HEART...

Another lonely night at my balcony...
Just me and a cigar...
At this very moment in time and with my daughter at her mothers place
six hours away from me I do feel kinda`lonely...
Could need some lovin`here... Or atleast a friend to talk to..

It`s not always easy to live by your heart...
Not always easy to stay true to yourself and at the same time the once around you...
But I`m still keeping my head high...
...still feeling the strenght inside myself...
...still beliving in me & still beliving in true love...
...and still beliving that theres a reason to everything in life...
Good and bad...
And good things are coming...I can feel it deep inside!!!

My training is on a roll...
Right now I`m not training for any reason except to feel good about myself
and ofcourse to look like a cartoon hero..LOL!
I`m training freestyle...
NO training scedule or any pre-fixed sets and reps...NAH...
I`m an artist just goin`by feel these days...
And I`m looking descent...No contest shape but descent...

In this cellphone pic taken a couple of days ago I`m 95kg...
I guess that I`m a bit harder than you can see in this pic though...
The pic was taken after cheating with a couple of burgers for a couple of days...
LOL!
I`m playing with the thought of rippin`it up
and take some pics just for the hell of it...
What do ya guys think? Should I?

GHETTO SUPERSTAR...

The Zone shop is turning 20 this year!
We had our ups and downs thru the years but were still here after all this time!
And after a slow period due to the world wide financial crisis were back up
sellin`better than last year & on a roll again!
So & I wanna`take this oportunity to yell out a huge FUCK YALL
to some of the haters thru the years talkin`smack & tryin`to brake me!

First a big FUCK YOU to yall who popped up stores in my town telling
my people that ya would pop me out of business!
(Ha! Where the hell are ya now?)
And a big FUCK YOU to the once thru the years tellin`me that I`m doin`business
the wrong way...and that I have to go mainstream
& who think Zone shop is too hardcore & "street"!

LEARNING TO LIVE WITH IT...

“Dear lord you've take so many of my people
I'm just wondering why you haven't taken my life...
...like what the hell am I doing right?”

The Game

Regret… I hate that word… Still I`m full of it…
The fraise “Don`t dwell on it” is on repeat inside my mind 24/7
and I will get it tattooed on my left hand this Friday…
All the whys and all the sorrows inside my heart just have to
let go and this tatt will be a constant reminder of just that.

At night I sit alone at the balcony smoking a cigar
while looking out at a cold world…
...feeling like an angel with a broken wing…feeling lost…
...like what am I doin`here? What the hell happened?

My lonely training sessions at the gym is like breathing to me
but outside the gym my whole life is disfunctional and in changes...
...and I don`t know in what direction it will take me...

My best friends are dead...my mom is sick...
...I lost so much love that my heart is in thousand pieces and
quite frankly I really don`t know if I ever will
be able to trust someone again…?
I put some of this on myself... I know that now...
But I need forgiveness…
Don`t know if I ever will get it though…
...So guess I have to learn to live with it...

Still...
I have my daughter whos my sunshine and I have my special friends...
...who know who they are…
I`m training Kai Greene style and I eat my crazy diet
of only protein and fat and I`m in descent shape at 200lbs with
veins and abs on my 5"6 frame...
...and physically Im in one piece for a change...

So I`m lettin` the troubles float away in the smoke...
Thinking that tomorrow is another day and all things most come to an end…
...yes even bad times must pass...

DON`T DWELL ON IT...

I live two life’s right now…
One week as a father & one week as a single bachelor…
My life wasn’t meant to be this way…Nah…this was never my plan…
Fact is that this used to be my worst nightmare…
When my daughters not around I sometimes get depressed & lonely…
Something new to me… I used to be a happy person…
But at the same time I realize that these rough times with broken heart
& cold lonely nights have made me find some new very special friends…
...and  I have discovered who my real core of friends are…
 And I have come to realize that those friends truly are my family!  

My whole life is unstable right now with changes comin` in on me from all angels…
The only thing that is stable is the red thread going thru my life as a stabilizer…
The training & the diet!
I love to eat my crazy foods in plastic buckets & I love to get that crazy pump
down the gym & watching the combination of my diet & training
transforming myself into a gargoyle of slabs of meat & veins…
I don`t even eat carbs no more… Fuck èm!
I eat fat instead & a ton of protein! That’s the way to do it!
That’s the way to get in shape without suffering and the only way to STAY in shape!

2 BEATS AWAY FROM A FLATLINE...

My mother’s sick with cancer… The tumor is removed and she’s on chemo…
It`s her second time but she’s a tough one and the odds are good.
But last Thursday she gave us a scare.
She had an allergic reaction to the chemo and was just 2 heart beats away from a flatline…
When they called me from the I.R they thought she would die and prepared me for the worst.
If you’re a regular to my website you know that my life’s been a roller coaster
the last year and when seeing her hooked-up in that respirator it was like
the whole future just took a f**kin head shot…
I felt like someone was laughing at me like;
The rope ain't tight enough, pour some gasoline on him… he`s still alive go fix it!

BUT It was then and there that I just DECIDED that there was
NO WAY IN HELL that she would leave us now!
My homiez on the other side, my guardian angels Tall-1 and Heavy-D both
worked as bouncers when they where alive and I knew that they never would let her in!
We need her here… I need her here! Her time has yet not come!

As I sit here and write this piece my mother is home and OK again
and I pray to God that most of the drama in my life is thru for now…
So even if this X-mas will be a heart breaker because I won’t spend it
with my daughter I do feel blessed…

MY DREAMS HAVE BEEN
MY WEAPONS…

But things happened in my life that made me loose myself
& all my dreams there for awhile...
I slipped and hurt myself pretty badly… Kind of lost everything that I had…
But life was never meant to be easy… Were here to learn…
Nothing is promised and the real bad shit is all but a bad break away.

Today there are no arms below to catch me, no safety net to break my fall.
BUT at the same time I’m stronger than ever
cuz what doesn’t kill ya will only help to build ya!
There would take a tremendous amount of bullshit to do hurt me like that again!

But yes the shit took it`s toll on me…
I speak with a raspy voice & I may be even a bit rougher around the edges these days…
But it just fit my bad boy image like a glove & I embrace it…
I`m a Mike Tyson now… my nose is so broken that it can’t brake no more!

I do have some amazing things happening to me now...
The sun is finnaly rising after the rainy storm...
But everything I do have in my life right now I poured my heart out to keep
or just went out on a limb and grabbed!
I know now that I do can get EVERYTHING I want in life!
It`s all up to me to just see it & take the opportunities to grab it!
The time has come…
The time to get ALL my shit together & RESTORE my future again!

LIVE TO WIN …

I kind of lost it there for awhile...
It felt like I was paying my dues with my bootstraps tied to the ground…
Lost with no direction with all the wounds reopening again
...like it was a dream and then hit me, reality struck…
I took a visit through the gates of Hell…

Yes just the other night you could see Zone Capone’s lil` Ford Ka
with the high beams on parked in front of the Devils crib,
me and the Devil shared war stories
while listening to some gangsta`rap playing backwards…
Memories where are all that remains…

BUT…
Today is a new day, and I'm still here… trying` to make things work…
To work for the better.
I still have the same battles to fight… Battles that almost are killing my heart and soul…
Battles that are eating the life out of me...
Battles to keep the most important people staying in my life…
To keep èm close… to keep èm ALIVE!

So I’m grindin’ with my eyes wide open looking to find a way through the day…
Flyin' from city to city with the pedal to the floor,
but with blood full of hope rushing through my veins again…
What else could I do? My destiny may be to loose?
But nothing will stop me from at least trying to live to win…

AUGUST 2008
...................................
LET US PRAY…

Father thank you for makin me righteous
and accepted through the blood of Jesus
Because of that I am blessed and highly favored by you
I am the object of your affection
Your favors surround me as a shield
where I will experience great victories and
supernatural turn-arounds and miraculous breakthroughs
in the midst of great impossibilities....

Because of God's favor my enemies cannot triumph over me
I will have honor in the midst of my adversaries
and I will have supernatural increase in promotions
that will declare restoration of everything
that the devil has stolen from me...

Amen.

ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME…

I guess that I`m going thru the hardest times I ever done right now…
Without going into too many details let`s just say that
I have been sleeping at the office at the Zone shop
and at my friends cribs for some weeks now…

What can I say really?
Everything gets even more complicated with a kid involved…
and sometimes the pain just get`s too overwhelming…
But I`m the kind of guy that just have to live by my heart…
...there’s just no other way around it even if it means
breaking my own heart in the process…

All I can say to my defense is that I have
no other choice but to do what I do… period.
This is just the way that my heart was created…
But no it aint easy to be a person like this…
...or as my friend Lil`T put it:
- Neither me nor you are writing any comedy in this thing we call life Zone…
I guess she’s right…

I`m truly sorry for all the hurt it brings to the ones I really care for…
And at this very moment in time it actually feels like I`m THE most
hated guy around for doing what I do…
But I have no chance other than to stay true to what I feel...
So feel free to hate on me... but only god can judge me...

THE AIR IS THIN ON TOP...

Im training real early in the morn when yall sleep...
All alone...just me & DMX in my iPod...
Arf arf arf!
Basic dirty weight training...far away from the glits & glamour....
...just me & the iron...all primal & brutal.

At +40 with more than 20 years of hardcore training under
my belt my joints ALWAYS hurt...thats part of the game these days...
The guys I used to train with are either dead or have quit the game...
Only a few of us are left...
I`m one of the last Mohikans & the air is thin on top!
Still bangin`it hard....& as long as I can move a limb I will do this shit!
Its in my blood...
