I went to work out at the track Friday night where I heard some crying. Someone had abandoned a kitten in the parking lot. At least, that's my belief. Strays don't cry for food, and they generally run away when you approach them. Dad let me bring her back, and we've been feeding her. I doubt Dad can keep her, since he already has an older cat ( Read more... )

If you could drink from the Fountain of Youth, and become immortal, would you?This theme question is surprisingly direct with very little to nit pick. My only questions concern the terms of drinking from the fountain of youth. The obvious result is immortality. My immediate response is that immortality (as implied in the question and ignoring my ( Read more... )

I was running my laps at the track tonight. I prefer to run at night during the spring and summer because the temperature is cooler (obviously). Also, something about working out in the night is just so serene. Anyways, I had finished my laps when what do I see? I see a guy and a girl, they looked about 16 or 17, running around the track...

I had a creepy experience last night. Before I went to bed, I heard some voices. It sounded like two guys were under the carport exchanged words. The cars were still there, undamaged, but I made sure the doors were locked before I went to bed ( Read more... )

So my leg is finally better, more or less. I was able to start running again on Saturday. I got winded at lot sooner than usual. Today, I tried to do my old TKD workout, and I wasn't able to finish. The muscle memory is there, but the stamina isn't. Given, I wasn't unable to do any of it. There were times when I couldn't do as much because my ( Read more... )

I know I said I wouldn't complain, but this situation is getting old.  I had worked up to being able to completely bend my leg (so that my calf touched my hamstring).  I wasn't back to normal.  To bend my leg like so, I had to lie on my back, point my leg upward, and let gravity pull my lower leg down.  Sadly, I went for a walk on Friday and must ( Read more... )

RICE. Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation is what my life is all about right now. I had hoped I'd be better by now, but it looks like I can count on two or three more weeks of this. I've made some progress. The swelling has gone down a good bit, and my knees look alike once again. I can walk unassisted, and my range of motion is roughly half ( Read more... )

I was supposed to report for Demon Hunting training on Saturday, but I don't think that will happen. I injured my leg last night. Well, actually I injured it last Friday, it healed, then I reaggravated it yesterday evening. I sparred with the MMA guys on Friday, and Jay (my opponent), landed one solid muay thai roundhouse to my right thigh. By ( Read more... )

I've been hearing alot of outrage about AIG. People are ticked off at AIG giving million dollar bonuses to it's employees when received billions in government money bailout. What no one seems to understand is that ( Read more... )
