Daily Update

OK, so I'm a little pissed right now. This has only happened one other time in the last 7 months, but its annoying as can be! My computer wigged out and then lost all the info on it. Just because I was resting my hand on the stupid keyboard! And then the internet was being really stupid and it wouldn't let me hit the back button, or any button for that matter. If I wasn't at work, I'd probably throw the computer out the window, and yell big words at it as it flew to its death three floors below! That would only relieve some of my anger though.

so anyway...

Yesterday went slow for me. The clock was not on my side. I kept watching it tick, and time wouldn't advance. It made it a long day. I rushed home like a whirlwind. I had travel plans you see. I was off to the African Safari again. It had been a while. I danced through the grazing fields like a king size Springbok. It was glorious. I started more at a regular pace than I had been in the last few weeks. There were many other forms of wildlife out and about that night. Including the newly discovered Scorpion people. they must not of recognized me, but when they decided I quickly put to use the many years of training I had, and also with the aid of razor sharp cunning, and precise battle techniques I was able to subdue the ferocious and unfamiliar foe. It will be a while before they cross me again. Although I was running alone I still felt safe, due to the heavy presence of the mob track team. Every few minutes I'd spring by another group of them. I finished in a brief 17:54. Not to shabby for having been poisoned a month or so ago.

Right after that, I went straight over to our Flag Football opening practice. It was great, except for the fact that I was already tired when we all started. We went over passing and blocking drills. when going over how to block, I think I was the worst example out there. The rules state, No Contact. When rushing to the ball, I started out giving a full effort, but then decided that I didn't want to do that anymore. So I stopped, but my body kept going, thus toppling over, right onto Chris. Sorry Chris. The second time I was determined to fall on the ball and not a person, so on defense, I just rushed right in, pushing chris straight back and the ball tripped both of us. The third time was almost a combination of the two previous efforts. I found myself getting tired, slowing down, but also pushing chris back. I realized this was wrong, AND I was tired, so I slowed up to the point where I just started to fall. Chris realized this and dove out of the way. He almost made it, except for his knee and my knee colliding. Not just on the knee, but it felt like he plucked my Sciatic nerve. My leg went numb, but then quickly felt the tingly shock. OUch. Later that night I was going to kneel on my bed, when I was reminded of my injury by a recurance of this sharp pain. It felt like dozens of shards of shattered glass were crawling up my leg. I imagined some sort of weird medieval torture device being strapped to my leg. I looked down to investigate, but there was nothing there. I just hope that Eric or Mike didn't hear the Yelp that I let out as this happened.

After that I stopped by Veteran to hang out with the fellas. Josh came over and we watched the last half of Krull. What great cinematographic era the early 80's were. Then I left cause it was late, but I'm sure that those two stayed up much later.

I'm listening to Aerosmith right now. But I'm going to start listening to my Yodeling music before I leave today. I have to brush up before I have to perform.

Lunch was sponsored by Marvin's Diner, and was attended by Me, Jessica, Josh, Courtney, and two creepy construction workers. Lets just say, I they were either oogling at me or Courtney. I don't know how she feels about it, but I don't like construction workers 'checking me out' for extended periods of time.

Only 4 days to Europe. I've been practicing my 'American' by speaking LOUD and S-L-O-W for people in my office.
