Fuck

I may have broken my little toe; if I'm lucky it's just a nasty jam. I'm quite upset.

A typical day

Not much happening, craziest thing I did was buy a pack of Big League Chew Sour Apple. I love sour candies and gum, but lemme tell ya, most of this stuff is merely tart. When I want sour I expect sour!


Otherwise it's another long night at the dojo. Thankfully today's crossfit workout was light: 30 sit-ups. 25 back extensions, 5 rounds for time. Yesterday's was killer: 800 meters four times. And then Sifu decided to do lots and lots of agility and plyometric work in kickboxing, ugh!

Random BBJ note: I think my basic sweep is finally improving, I used it in a warm up rolling session, now If I can just develop some consistency in the execution.

Ric Flair Retires

Wrestling fans take a lot of shit: from both the mainstream media and the product itself. The last few years have been nothing more than a string of heartbreaks. For once, it felt good to be a wrestling fan. Flair was given the kayfabe breaking send off he deserved.

A sucker born every minute

I told myself "No way am I ordering a $55.00 Wrestlemania!" That was before I caved of course. I guess I couldn't say no to Ric Flair's last match; and I'm a big ole Undertaker mark. Overall, it was a good show. Was it worth the money I paid? No...no, unless Matt Hardy ends up World Champ---which he didn't--there's no way it could be worth $55.oo, color me sucker.

New Title

Thinking the blog needs a new title. The title is a bit obscure. DOn't think most people would even guess the reference. "Green Cross/Red Blood" There's a criminologist at FSU who has developed a green cross project. It's aimed at survivors of severe trauma. Anyway, I barely know anything about it to start with, and I reckon people see the title floating down the google river and think "insurance company? Crazy christian website?" Hmm. I need something that willlet people know what the blog is about.

Obama 2008

Did I post on this topic already??? I feel like I did but I'm too lazy to look! I've had misgivings about his experience, but those have mostly been assuaged. Compared to Hilary, who seems to have manufactured most of her pre-senate experience, Obama has a plethora. And McCain's experience is nullified by craziness and intransigence.

Kickboxing Class

I think a couple of my classmates are a bit annoyed(?) amused(?) at my enthusiasm for fitness circuits. One day I'd like to tell them "All I have to do is remember lying on that cold floor with a bloody nose and a gun to my head. It gives me motivation for hours." Usually two hours, which sucks on those three hour days--my concentration goes to hell.
