A couple of weeks ago my dog, Shadow destroyed her knee. She hopped over our neighbors wall, which she has done before, but this time she couldn't use her left, rear leg afterwards. The wall is only 2 feet high! How did she hurt it? who knows! First I had to wait to schedule the surgery because I don't have the money for it. The credit thing denied me because I am self employed. Eventually I talked my Dad into cosigning for me. After that it had to be rescheduled because one of the Doctor's father passed away. Lots of stress later, she finally went in to have her surgery yesterday morning and she came home this morning. She is miserable and half her body is bald. Poor thing!
While she was gone my other dog, Isabelle didn't know what to think and was following me around constantly! When she left me alone, I wondered where she went. I finally found her hiding in the bathroom cuddling with the cat! haha! They don't even like each other that much!
Have you ever broken a bone? If so, how?
No, but a friend once broke her arm on my head.
I have been pretty good at blogging again recently! yay me!
So I know I had mentioned I had been having a hard time lately and I really need to snap out of it. Had a really hard week. Just wanting to sleep and forcing myself not to. I've been doing some serious spring cleaning so to speak and really clearing out the junk I have accumulated over the years that I really don't need anymore. I am a bit of a sentimental packrat and I hate to throw anything away. For some reason I feel like if I can organize and deep clean everything around me that I will feel better! The problem with that is it has really messed up my back again and I have had to pop Vicodin like candy this week and I hate that! So much. I have gotten a lot done though!
My cousin invited me to go to Knott's Halloween Haunt yesterday and I really sucked it up and forced myself to go. I know it is really not healthy for me to hide in my shell and be so anti social and I am going to put forth a huge effort to not do that. I had huge anxiety all afternoon and then of course once I was there I had a really good time. being the first weekend it wasn't even that busy.
So overall I am really struggling, but I think that I am on the right track.
If you were born the opposite sex, what would your name be?
My Mom has told me in the past that if I had been a boy I would have been benjamin! hehe Benji!
Planned on getting this workout in last night, but... didn't. However, I managed to shift things around and be productive enough to have a little time this morning, and decided to go ahead and get the workout in. Went with balance ball abs again... I just like the workout I'm getting from it right now. I'm sure I'll start branching back out to the other abs workouts soon, but I do like to go with it when I'm feeling a good vibe for a particular workout. Went pretty well, certainly a little easier than last time. Shoulder is still refusing to fully heal... wish I knew what the deal was with that. I'd really like it to finish healing so I can get serious about my practice again. Oh well. Just keep plugging, I guess. That's all for now... might try to get a run in tonight.
Decided to take another stab at hill sprints today. Unfortunately, it turned out not to be like so many other things, where I get a lot better the second time. It still hurt. Pushed just a tiny bit harder than last time, doing a set of 5, 3, and 1. Didn't do the run afterward, though, so it's hard to say which time was harder. Probably last time, although this one hurt more... weird how those last couple sprints really burn. Just went with the running mini-workout in advance, as it was fairly warm so I didn't feel the need for extended stretching. Also, I was a little later getting out than I would have liked, so I wanted to get to the workout without further delays, if possible. Anyway, a good workout, although perhaps a little disappointing... I think I'd be better off if I got to the workout a bit earlier or much later, though, when it wasn't quite as warm. Anyway, that's all for today, I think... will probably try to get an abs workout in tomorrow, and maybe a run during the evening. Until then...
OK, this is really my last post... my plane leaves in one hour.
This guy was the real deal. One of the greatest actors from the Brando, McQueen and James Dean era, a Hollywood legend, a sharp business man, a great husband and even better human being, donating well over $100 million to charities and needy children. This one makes me sad. Dead at 83 after battling cancer for more than a year. Rest in peace.
One last titillating post before I fly out to Orlando.
I loathe fake breasts. I rarely meet a guy who likes them. They look fine under clothing, but when the bra comes off, those bogus monsters are absurdly comical... two perfectly round big top clowns. When I see them I hear circus music. Dum, dum, da-da-da-da-dum da, da, da....
Nothing says "low self-esteem" like fake breasts. They remind me of Howard Cosell's ridiculous hair piece... another lame attempt at masking the truth. I have a shaved head because I started losing my hair in my twenties. I refused to be a comb-over guy, and I certainly never considered a piece. The hair piece is worse than implants to me, but I rarely seem them. Bogus bazookas are much more common. Women are more scrutinized for their looks than men, so many flat chested women are compelled to have the surgery. Those deliberate scar lines under artificial mounds are sad. I can always tell when breasts are fake, and that's the real turnoff. Artificial is rarely a word I equate with beauty.
Don't get me wrong, I like big boobs. But I'll take tiny ones over giant fakes any day... "fake" is the key word here. Never be phony.
I'll be on the beaches of Florida until October 6th, so in my absence I am offering a few of my favorite posts from the past year...
