ZONE CAPONES
--REAL LIFE--

WELCOME TO MY WORLD!
In this section ZONE give ya a glimpse of his
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.
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!!

BALL TILL YA FALL...

"Ball `till I done did it for my dawgs...
Ball `till I done did it for yáll...
Ball `till I fall done did it for me...
Ball `till I fall that`s the way it`s gonna`be..."
-BIRDMAN

THE FREE WILL!
The free will is a universal law not to be broken by ANYONE!
PERIOD!
Realize that not all yall know shit what I`m talkin`about here but let just say that
just that is one bigtime important subject in my life on more than one levell these days!
Well let`s not get into all just had to get it in print & out of my system...

Sometimes we come to a point in life when its time to make life changing decissions...
A time when we have to sit down & look deep into our souls & decide
how we wanna`live the rest of our lifes...

Like right now when I kind`a hit a wall & almost burned out
leaving me with as my doctor told me "horrible bloodvalues"...
After training hardcore for +25 years & living a very stressfull life
for the last years including custady issues with my daughter & loosing my mother in cancer
& basicly starting my private life all over again my doctor tells me that I`m burning my candless
from both ends & advice me to take the rally-stripes off for good & also say goodbye to bodybuilding...
That if I do continue this lifestyle it may shorten my lifespan...& that it probably already have...
At the same time I know that this lady dr really don`t know shit about our sport/subculture
& actually belives that theres steroids in supplements & basicly belives everything she reads about...
...well...MY kind...& the hate against us in mainstream media over here in Sweden.

A person like that can never understand the soul of a warrior...
A person like that can never understand that even if I like all sane people out there ofcourse
wanna`live forever & also fear death actually fear being "normal" & becoming
an ordinary unhappy soft & saggy middle age man who lost his dreams even more than dying!
I could never do that!
Don`t missunderstand me...I`m slowing things down now...for a while that is!
I`m not stupid! But I could never call it quits!
Im a warrior & I will stand my ground untill the sky fall down & God comes down & get me!
Yes I will ball till I fall...that`s the way its`gonna`be!

LOVE YALL!

STILL FLY...

Sorry for not updating for awhile!
But Ive been busy with this thing we all call life I guess...
My mothers passing took its toll on me & the stress actually hurt me physiqually too...
The doctors where freaking when reading my as they called it "horrible bloodvalues"!
Well what can I say? I guess that I kept my rally-stripes on myself for a bit too long...
So as we speak I do my best to recover & do whatever I can to stress down abit.
Still training my four sessions a week & is actually amazed that Im looking ok
& even gaining some strenght on some lifts at this moment in time!
Guess stress is more catabolic than I ever could imagen!

What else?
Well we got ourselfs one more family member!
Say hi to Ashley!

When Johanna first said that she wanted a ChineseCrested I thought -What the fuck?
But that was before I met Ashley!
I tell yall that this lil thing is a frigging VAMPIRE BITCH!
She actually beat the crap out of our poor Pibull!!
She got more attitude than any dog Ive met & can be so soft too!
Kinda`reminds me of someone else I live with! ;)

I promiss to be back with more stuff very verry soon!!
LOVE!

THE SHOW MUST GO ON...

We buried my mother this weekend...
After two strokes & six years of cancer she finaly lost her fight & left us...
She died hard...
I was there the last 24 hours & is now having a hard time dealing with how she left...
Still...
...Ive been trying to get it all in perspective...trying to see the positives in the negatives...
I couldnt even cry at the funeral...I thought I was ok...
But I have been so ANGRY... Angry how she died & angry at the whole universe...
But last night it burst & I just lost it there for awhile...
And now I just feel sorrow...
...Like all the money in the world cant take away this pain on the inside...
God I miss her...

But it feels better this way...more...normal...
Well life goes on..the show must go on..Im a changed man..again..
I will live ALL out now...
I will once again grab life by the BALLS & squeeze out every millimeter of life out of it...
I will stay fly no matter what & I will ball till I fall....
... until the last gasp of air I breethe..I will never say die again...

I thank God for my lady...
She took care of the whole funeral for me...did everything...

Shes the best thing happening to me...
& in all this I would be truly lost without her...
I will now take her to a trip to New York & spoil her ass off!!
We will shop until we drop over there & live like ROCK STARS!!

WE BOUGHT US A HOUSE & A PIECE
OF LAND OUTSIDE THE CITY!

The place is MAGIC!
And it felt like home the very first time we entered the place!!
We have a +8000kvm of land, 2 boxes for horses & 2 buildings!

So Yeah Im retired outside the city these days...(Still workin`at the Zone shope though).
We will build a phat garage-gym next year & a phat American style veranda with a rocket char...

To be able to grab a cup of coffe in the morning & look out over your own piece of land
is truly PRICELESS & I feel so blessed that we had the money
to pay for this haven with no depths whatsoever!
Its OURS!! Capone country!!!

Trude even has her "own" horse called Barbro! :)

And we breed èm HUGE over here to!
Represntin`HAMRÅNGEFJÄRDEN east coast Sweden big time!!

I will now go for the same look & style as Mike Rourke in the movie The Expendables
(except the hair)
& smoke my pipe all tatted-up in a cowboyhat in my rocketchair!

Already have the rednose pit...

...the hot country wife...

...& the shootguns!! :)

LIFE IS PRICELESS!!

PRICELESS!!

Talk about that my life been doin`a 180 spin for the better in a year!
I was inside the dragons layer...
You could see my car 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…
I was in a down spinn...
Today all that shit is long gone!
Im straight up with the maker theese days & living THE faboulus life!

Everything started with a change of mindset!!
THE SECRET!
It wasn`t easy but slowly but surely I did put myself into a positive mindset
& universe just had to respond by sending the same wibes right back to me!
THE LAW OF ATTRACTION!
It may sound all weird but it actually works that way!

I also got rid of the bullshit people in my life
that only stole energy & added the drama!
So the guns are burried in the land & the future is bright!
Just like that!
The beginning of a new beginning is here!
PRICELESS!

My girl is priceless!
I never felt love like this...not on this levell!

Were grown together this year into an unstopable unit!
Were Bonnie & Clyde!
Its her & me against the world!
And belive me when I say that together we really could take over the whole
motherfucking world if we put our minds into it considering that we both been thru!
Im so incredibly happy to have her at my side & shes my dream women
on ALL levells & no one could ever compare to her!

My daughter is priceless!

5 years old & totally CRAZY with all my
genetics & odd thoughts times 100 in a lil`girl!
AMAZING! :) She makes my heart melt every time!

The business at the Zone shop is priceless!
Its on a roll since we redesigned the store into a
concept store for the incredibly top notch supplements
from FAIRING & got rid of all the other brands!
Today moneys rain on us & we have no depths whatever!

Were looking for a house now & the super phat Dodge Magnum
is now all payed for!

THE SECRET friends & foes!

DEALIN` WITH THE MAKER...
...STRAIGHT UP!

No more side deals with Satan...
These days I`m dealin`with the maker...straight up!
I did some things in the past that if I could I would take èm back...
But that was then & theres really no reason to speak on it...
Thats why I have so many early morning workouts at the gym...
I can`t sleep on it...

Prayers...
I put my hands together..bow my head & ask for forgivness...
Might not get it..but I will keep on fighting for it like a motherfucker...
Prayers are what kept me here...
They kept me alive when the bullets cut the air...
When the ones close to my heart fucked me over...
...when my homiez died on me...
...when my mothers cancer came back for the third time...uncurable...
Prayers are like medicine that can heal all wounds and make miracles...
Like Tattoos for forgivness...& protection...
Crosses...thats what Im gettin`...

I put the cigar in the air!
I close my eyes...bow my head...& pray!
God keep us alive...keep us here a while longer...
So we get a chance to try to make things right...
Please bless our familys and everyone we love...
Fuck...even bless our enemys when were at it...
...cuz I guess they are part of the game too...

Put your hands together bow your heads...

AMEN...AMEN...

STILL GRABING LIFE
BY THE BALLS!!

Yes I`m grabing life by the balls!
Knowing that were not here to stay forever I try to live every second
& use every gasp of air as it would be the last!
Feeling, doing, striwing to live life the fullest way possible!
Im soon in my mid 40`s still feeling inside out like I did
in my mid 20`s but smarter & more mature...
Still looking cool like hell & living the life of a cartoon hero...
Still doing whatever I wanna`do without giving a rats ass
about what the "humans" out there thinks about
my "not so typical Swedish lifestyle"...
Still in the iron media over here without even doing a bodybuilding show in 3 years...
Still keeping the business afloat within the industry even though more than
one big ass company been promissing me to go out of business through the years...
Still making money the "clean way" & livin`on the right side of the law
even though the feds been thinking different a couple of times &
tapping my phone cuz I may have the look of a vilan
& cuz I may know some of èm killa`s & gorilla`s...
Still representin`EAST COAST SWEDEN & livin`large & in charge,
driving the Magnum with 22`s, smooking the fatest cigars & having the
badest chick with guns tattoed on her belly on my arm...
Still loving all out even though I had my heart teared out more than once...
Still beliving in the future even though my life been on fire...
Still striving for being a better person,man & father...
Still livin`!

WHITE TRASH BEAUTIFULLS
& THE END OF THE WORLD?

If you belive whats on the net & the old Maya callender the world will
come to an end come December 23rd 2012...
Thats when the planet X or Niburi will sneak up from behind the sun
& pass earth & among other things the south & the north pole will switch places
& basicly...we will be pretty fucked...
According to the belivers the goverments know all about this & are building huge
underground bunkers to save the chosen...
Guess that doesnt include us white trash bodybuilders & tatted up freaks aight?...
It`s according to the belivers the biggest cover-up ever to not cause mass panic...

I was ofcourse sceptical to all this...
But as the internet are starting to really fill up with PICTURES of a small
second sun on for examples peoples hollyday pics of the sunsets etc
I guess we all should start to atleast wonder...

IF the shit is true I wont go silent into the night...
I will take me & my familys asses far away from the coasts to avoid sunamis etc
& stack up on protein powders, bottled water & shit
& survive this motherfucker!

Before yall start to think that Zone Capone been smooking some
weird cigars or stacking up on some crazy juice :)
I guess yall could do some GOOGLE on Niburi & see for yourself &
make up your own mind if this could be true or not...

LOVE!

SALVATION...

I walked into my car the other day & it just hit me...
There I was souronded by two ton of high-tech steel!
I was sitting in this incredible powerfull piece of machine
thats been taken thousands and thousands of years for mankind to develope!
A machine so beautifull and powerfully equiped that it can take me to places
in just short hours that would othervise take me days or even weeks to walk!

I realized that most people take most in life for granted...
I don`t do that... Actually I never did...
I realized a long time ago that I`m blessed just being
alive & sourunded by all these...well...miracles...

I then started to think of the love souronding me...
Suddenly I almost could see it like an halo around my very being...
The love for my child, my girlfriend, my mother and my family and friends...
...and how lost I would be without them...
I realized how blessed I am...just to be able to be here...to be sitting there
in my incredible car on the way down to the gym to train my body...
How blessed I really am to be able to walk down those stair to that dungeon
and to be able to lift those barbells and dumbells in my own
private and endless war with the iron!

I looked down to my body...
A body that my soul attached to 44 years ago that I then
with the will of that soul with allot of effort developed into what it is today...
...almost 100kg tatted up slabs of meat and veins...
A body I feel comfortable in...that reflects my soul...
A piece of art that my soul manifest itself through...
How blessed I am to be able to develope the body what God gave me
into something else...something more...
And I realized that this thing we call bodybuilding is really something...
...HOLY!

I WONT GO DOWN EASY...

The 24th this month it`s my birthday...
Age is not something I dwell about but as I recently been meeting
some people from the past I realize how much most people do!
It amazes me that people tend to care so much about how many years they have
been walking on this planet & putting limits on them selfes because of it!
To me this thing we call life is not about time but experience!
A great example of that i my Johanna whos 18 years younger than me
but most of the time actually feels older and more mature
than me cuz all the things shes been thru!

And it amaze me that people put all these limits on themselfes
about all the things they cant do anymore becauze of what other people
are thinking as me myself actually find that I have
more of that kick ass energy both in the gym and for life
now in my 40's then I had in my 20`s!

Maybe its because by my 40's I have been through
enough shit to put it all in perspective?....
Maybe its because Ive seen guys my age who stopped working out
giving up on their bod and look like 60 while I feel better
physiqually today than I did in my 20`s?!
Or maybe I just buried too many friends before
they got to 40 and say fuck, I ain't going down easy!
Or as my good friend Palle once told me:
Zone you are one of those guys who never will stop living and be old...
You will always stay the same...until you just drop dead one day!
LOL!

GREED & THE GREEN...

I guess greed must be the most common sin out there...
Atleast in these times...
Lately Ive seen it in the last of places I would think it would dwell...
I`ve seen close people that I think higher of & who I love
do anything for the green even if it means ruining
relationships within both bloodbands & friendships...
Why do so many people have this realationship with money anyway?
Sure money makes the world go round & who hasnt dreamt about
winning the lottery or making that big deal?
I guess we all have done that at one time or another...
But really...will acting like these people do really
make them happy in the long run?
I really don`t think so...

I had some rough times myself when it comes to money
when the ressesion hit us that almost made me loose
the Zone shop after 20 years in the iron business...
I even had thoughts of crossing the line &
do some shit outside the law to save it...
Almost worse than that I had thoughts of loosing my self
& sell some things I didnt belive in...
Yes I had thoughts of selling my soul to make it thru...
But in those times....when you are up against the wall...
...thats when you will find out who you really are...
Thats when you have to chose who you wanna`be
& whats worth the most in life...
In the end I chose to be one of the good guys...
I chose to keep my guns burried deep in the ground & to stay on
the right side of the law & to work harder than ever to stay true
to myself & my loved once & gut it thru!
I stuck to what I belived in & I put my trust in my true core of friends
& today I`m back running the Zone shop with success!!

Ive made a promiss to myself that I will NEVER be like "them"
who stumble over bodies to make money...
I promissed myself to NEVER be one of them so addicted to material things
that they have to loose their soul for things that with time won`t mean shit...
Cuz over time cars will rust and all material things will brake & fade away...
Remember whats important in life...
Appriciate the love, support & friendships you have
because in the end that is all that matters...
Money can`t buy you love...

Peace!

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!

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..

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...

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...

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"!
(LOL!)

Well...what can I say?
I´m doing business in this game MY WAY folks & you know what...
...I dont even think money!
I only think LOVE to the iron game!
I do this for the young dawgs comin`up in this game!

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...

Love yall!
