Why Mommy and Daddy Are Brain Washers

2008-07-05T02:17:07Z

I've seen this book before, but it just came up again and its still just as unbelievable. I mean, I'm a liberal guy but these books are ridiculous. They basically paint the Democratic party as the saviors of the human race without any kind of op...

15-12-12-10-(14) My arms feel like Jello. Today was the most difficult yet, and I had to take longer breaks in between each set. Depending how I feel at the end of the week I may have to repeat.

Hundred Pushups: Week 2 Exhaustion test

2008-06-30T20:42:36Z

Just did my end of week 2 exhaustion test and could do 17 push-ups! That's a far cry from 100, but a hell of an improvement over 2 weeks when I could only do 4. I took an extra day off this weekend because I helped move a couch on Friday and that ...

Dance dance dance

Not only is it a Murakami book you should read, but its the subject of this short film. The music is close to being too inspirational sounding, but I like the whole thing too much to be bothered by it. Oh, if its all chunky and skippy, turn off ...

Hundred Pushups: Week 2 Day 3

2008-06-27T18:50:10Z

5-5-4-4-10. I'm sore all the time now from a combination of derby practice, nightly ab exercises and the push-ups. One unfortunate side affect is my wrists have started aching more. I've heard of some modifications to the push-up that may help wi...

100 Push ups - Week 2, day 3

2008-06-27T17:54:51Z

15-15-12-12-27 I notice that at least some of you are well exceeding your initial tests after just two weeks AND after doing 4 sets of push ups. That's just amazing. I'm not quite there yet, but I'll try to join that club next week!

Gotham vs Texas: Rice Rocket takes a ride

2008-06-26T17:32:16Z

My favorite roller derby video of late, from last weekend's Gotham Girls Roller Derby vs Texas Rollergirls. The Gotham girls spanked Texas 125-65. You can read a recap of the game on Derby News Network. Pay attention around :38 (and if you mis...
