Nice

Today was a nice day. I wasn't feeling too great in the morning, this time feeling sort of like I had some kind of sickness. I decided to take the day off work. Yes, I wanted to spend some time just taking it easy and resting up, but also I think the reason I got a bit of the sickness because that damn guy always comes to work when he is sick. Why won't sick people stay home? I don't have insurance right now, so it's not like I can go get medicine from the doctor. I just have to do my best to stay healthy. There is no reason for me to get sick. I get plenty of sleep, eat a great diet, bundle up when it is cold, and take it easy when I am not feeling the best.

Took the legs out for a run about 5 pm. The sun was making the sky a nice color. In the first mile, my toes got really cold (wasn't wearing 2 pairs today), and thought about only going 2, but then they warmed up. I ended up doing 4 at a pretty easy pace, with the last 400m or so at a faster pace, probably around 6:40 or so. Felt good to get the legs moving again!

Glad that I did not wipe out on the ice. I want to avoid getting injured by losing my footing. That is the worst way to go.

Hope your day was good too!

Fact: only 14 days of the year left. Then begins 2009, the year of awesome running!

101th Post

This is the 101th post. Not the 101st. Say it out loud: "One hundred and one-th." There it is.

It has been a good time blogging for the past 100 posts. It has been a good time. There have been some good comments to my posts. Thank you, people you comment. Thank you.

Have a nice day.

The Hell? What?

What the hell is that ad I keep seeing, the one with the young woman laying on the bed. Evidently, she wants to "hang out with me." What does that even mean? Does this "hang out with me" belong to the American idiom?

What the hell? The what! Hell what the hell!

I am from Borezula, right there on the border of Borneo and Venezula. I'm practically Mexican. So how on earth am I supposed to know what this "hang out with me" means?

Does this girl want to go hang from some branches? Is she a film maker making a film about humans trying to be apes? Is this what she means?

If so, yes. Yes, I want to hang out with this girl. I quite appreciate apes and what they do for the world. Apes build the bridges we go across to get from SF to Marin County. They built that bridge back in the 1700s or so. I think that's when Cortez brought the apes to that area.

This is another little-known fact, the one about Cortez and the apes. Yes, he was a conquistidor, but what did he conquist? The apes. That is the answer. He conquisted the apes and made them build bridges and bird-looking-crafts (airplanes we call them now). The apes were excellent engineers, and constructed primitive airplanes. How else do you think Cortez got all the way to Hawaii? Yeah, those statues, those big statues of faces. Cortez was the one who erected them with the help of the apes. That's why the Hawaiians don't want you to take rocks from that one volcano. They don't want the stone faces to get mad.

And Lou Gehrig. You know that dude? Yeah, I read a book about him too. I don't really remember too much about him, but I think he played on the Yanks. Or maybe it just seems good to say that he played for the Yanks because everyone back then played for the Yanks. The Yanks had 700, 800 players. Joe DiMaggio, Shoeless Joe Jackson, and people like that.

Man, this will sound sort of bad, but I sort of wish that Shoeless Joe Jackson got a disease, because then people with that disease would feel like allstars. "Hey," they would say, "the skin is falling off of my face and my bones are turning to dust, but that's alright. That's cool. I got the Shoeless Joe Jackson Disease."

Makes you want to get it, huh?

Why No One Blogs Anymore

People have stopped blogging.

Yes, I know that there have been times when I have stopped blogging, but I came back. But you, I am afraid you are not going to come back, because you have probably started smoking crack. That, or spending your time with cheap prostitutes.

You're like:

"Hey, I have 20 bucks. Should I have sex with that prostitute or write fun things in my blog?"

And what do you do?

You catch gonorrhea, the Honduran kind.

Early

I got up early today, a 7 am. It is not too early, but early enough considering that I only have 2 hours of stuff to do before I have to go to work at 2:30 pm.

I was supposed to get off work at 11:30 last night, but the call kept going and going and I only ended up getting home at around 12:20. It wouldn't have been so bad, but absolutely nothing was accomplished. The calling party spoke to Financial Care, then they wanted to be transferred to somewhere else, and then, after feckin 1 hour and 20 minutes, the dude said that who she needed to be speaking with was Financial Care. So, absolutely nothing was accomplished. Absolutely. Nothing.

On Saturday night I made some observations that I will now jot down for you, for your viewing pleasure at the present, and so that you can ruminate about these topics for the rest of the day (future) or even for eternity (future future future future...you get my drift how long it is?)

Observations (not necessarily in the same order in which they were made):

1. Why do some poets use the "&" sign all the time to designate the simple word "and," such as in "the cat & dog & bouquet of hollyhocks"? Why use &? Why?

2. .....

I can't remember what any of the other ones were. There were probably 5 different observations, but this 1st one (which probably wasn't even the 1st one one the list) is the only one I can recall at the moment. Sorry.

*sniff*

*tear tear tears fall from mine eyes, alike to thine's*

(yes, a new word: thine's).

Friday and Saturday Prior

On Friday, I did PT. 21 supersets. Then 2 x 95 fire haulers. Then 5 x 20 dips. And 30 neck.

Friday totals:
630 abs
630 pushups
100 dips
190 fire haulers
30 neck

No time to do pullups. Neck was sort of sore, probably from practicing so long the days before and maybe because my lymph nodes seem to be a bit tender. That's why I only did one set of neck exercises.

On Saturday, didn't do anything other than pullups. It was a pullup day.

I had envisioned myself busting out 150 pullups in 10 minutes by doing 5 pullups in a 20 second cycle. Each minute has 3 cycles = 15 a minute = 150 in 10 minutes. I planned to do reg, wide, close, reverse, left, right.

It was much harder than expected. I did 2 minutes of pullups, then took a 1 minutes break. Then 2 more minutes, and about a 1.5 minute break. Then I extended the cycle to 2 a minute. So in the next 3 minutes I did 30 pullups.

Then I took a break.

A little later I went and did the remaining 60 pullups. Since there were only 2 sets left it was a little easier than the 3 sets prior.

A good day for pullups! Hooray! I hope Sunday = sore upper back/shoulders/arms. That is what I am hoping for.
