interesting person with a shred of intelligence (ok, much more than a shred) on the internet who can have a conversation about more than 3 topics, not including: the climate, their pets, or their recent break-up with a significant other. is there anyone out there who writes decent poetry, listens to innovative music, or who has a fetish for butt plugs? anything out of the ordinary will do. please save me. |

I had an interesting conversation about rain one day with a particularly philosophical friend. Rain can be cleansing, and cathartic. The sound comforts me, and reminds me of where I grew up. In spite of comfort, I've realized myself that rain can also bring out sad memories and darker feelings. But I learned that we should love this melancholy aspect of rain as well. Because on days that weep, we are reminded that we must *live.* It was an interesting discussion. I believe that it is possible to talk about the climate (and pets and relationships and buttplugs, for that matter) from completely different perspective without being superficial or cliched. :) |

Rain brings a little bit of the night into the day. Rain soothes the ear with countless little sounds every second. Rain is there. Rain is not. I need more coffee. Can you tell? |
I don't have a fetish for butt plugs but I do have a fetish for BUTTS!! Yes its true I like big butts and I just can't lie! But I love a women who can have a real conversation sith a guy not just your normal everyday talk. IF YOU WANT TO TALK SOME TIME HIT ME UP. |
i dont like rain |
DOWN WITH RAIN! |
i'm digging on how retarded i used to be. and yet, i think i may have said those exact words quite recently, only in a different context. unimaginably, given enough time, everything repeats itself. that's actually comforting. not that i need to be comforted. i'm just sayin. |
now my question is, save you from what? wow, it's wednesday already. |
that's what happens after you have a long, exciting weekend. |
|
grass/greener |
when i would switch between hand drawing and digital, i would find my brain wanting back things i had erased, or to copy and paste, or to move things just a little bit. undo undo |
i know that. but we all do what we have to do to make enjoyable the time that goes by between now and when we get what we want want. |
only in the digital world. technology can make all sorts of shit far too simple to execute. "you better watch what ya say when ya lose control- i said the words hold on and they don't get go... come back to haunt when you're too and fro-- never get through it 'til you pay the toll" wish i coulda ctrl-z'd that-- but fuck it. so there, cookie extortionist-- i outted myself! I WIN. |
in the music category, indeed YOU WIN. but in the sorabji boards category, i win. or cyst and i are tied for first, followed by nate as a distant second. seriously, think about it. you and heather, y'all don't even come close. now, if you posted a link here to the whole song, then maybe you'd be in the running. not that i recommend doing that. |
alley played by a mad drunken korean kid. are you racist against broken violins and drunken korean kids? I THINK YOU ARE. get in the cage, puss dumpling. it's fightin' time. |
pfffft. is that your idea of a challenge? bring it. we both know i'd knock you out in the first round using only my exquisite goodies. |
gotta drunken violin friend who's HELLA pissed. you better bring backup. |
heather? can you give me a hand here. the BUTT PLUG RACIST is getting ornery again. |
|
|
and we all know you don't need any help. i'll pitch in for the cage, there might even be one lying around here someplace. |
|
So what are the tickets (for heather and sarah facing the blindswine) going for?? I've got an empty cage. |
|
how could it be nine years. |
Name your currency luv! Who is fifi the terrible? |
"but advantages and disadvantages and life are so complex and include some seemingly insignificant moments which make all the difference." "and at some point you realize that you're doing all this to win at someone else's game. a game you don't even have to play." My guess is that she is neither insignificant nor a player, game or no, Bring out the cages, don the gloves, smackdown in Tahoe in February if not elsewhere before. I ramble, too much coffee. |
don't cross contaminate, it isn't nice. |
|
I want to run his intro music and pyro. but i love both you ladies. |
smoke and mirrors. just what he'll need. |
and as usual i concur with heather. what happens in vegas, should stay in vegas. so to speak. i am laying in bed right now, next to me an intimidating mountain of laundry to be folded. more on the line. if there was a webcam you would be seeing my middle finger and a pile of wadded up clean bath towels. oh the list of things to do hovers in my psychic space like overdue bills. but for now i am going to lay on the bed and daydream away this precious little time. gosh i love this phone. |

friends? |

worthy slutz. i don't have the slightest idea what this means, but i could spend way too much time surfing old WAYD posts and thinking about what it all means. today i did body weight overhead squats, but it was 5 x 3, for a total of 15. not 15 in a row, which would be insane at my body weight. then i did tire flips. 3 1-minute rounds. 16, 18, 19 tire flips per minute, respectively. this is no joke. with pregnancy and infancy behind me, this is what now fuels most of the passion of most of my days. this and my precious children. life is perfect. how can it be? how? |
|
Overhead squats with the bar at body weight? Really? Omfg. But now I want to try that on Wednesday. |
|
|
weight but my tits are 10 lbs a piece, so if you count the beauties, 155#. i've been working up to this for years ... 3 yrs cf, 11 yrs total gym time. "Do the thing, and you will have the power." RWE |
|
i don't know, but even 11 years later i think it would make the best girl band name of all time. |
|
I'd like to borrow SaRAH's I think. 11 yrs of gym? wow now that is dedication. I grow slow, lethargic, and sloppy. Need a workout for sure. But at my age, getting up three times a night is enough exercise to keep me ... well drained... |
If you need me to tell you what is creepy I can do that. |
I did this the other day - when I first started I couldn't even get to my knees. Now I can stand and get back down... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GroXFgVHILM&feature=watch_response |

I do use five and ten pound free weights, when watching tv sitting on the couch or just relaxing. It's a horrible irregular practice. I have a weight bench downstairs that I rarely use, but need to use. We also have a recumbent bike and a Nordic Track incline treadmill. Still, my best exercise is swimming, especially since I have gained weight and lost muscle. I have all the equipment I need; still don't use it. I have little motivation and am tired much of the time, working 12-14 hour days four days a week, and travelling the rest. I get a workout in the airports. I have stopped that too...and have cut travel back to a minimum. The medications over the past six years do not help my weight loss. I have been feeling worse and worse, and slower and slower. Sometimes, like last week, the meds simply make me sick, and i don't feel like exercising at all. I don't feel like getting out of bed. I have stopped working out, even walking, and find it difficult to take the stairs (and I have three flights of them in my house) without getting winded. 40 years of excess, still with not getting too far out of shape. then, whammo. All because of weight gain. I have all the symptoms of congestive heart failure including the chest pains, but I have had angina of undetermined origin since I sobered up in 1987, and began to feel my feelings literally. I fairly certain the extensive testing has rulled out chf. I am up for another round of tests next summer. So I have begun to do little things that help: I am not looking for a wonder body but rather for simply healthy one. Eating better, eating less. Eliminating bad meds. For the past two days I have stopped taking avandia, a medicine proven to cause heart problems. You know what its other side effect is: weight gain. Which is exactly opposite of what is needed. I tried stopping my exenatide but that back fired and had to get back on it. I am one of the few thousands who can tolerate it without continual nausea. Mine is at least intermittant. My arthritis is perhaps no worse than the norm, and yet for me worse than ever, but I work through the stiffness and joint pain enough to be grateful I am mobile and not a crotchey old fart. When I was diagnosed with RA in 1988, I never planned to live this long. Hell I never thought I would have made it to 1988 given the lifestyle I was living. And the RA was really neuropathy caused from the drinking, at least that's what they say now. I am 59 yrs young, working on 60. I think of some of you as working hard to maintain health and vitality, and I look up to you, congratulate you, even though so much younger than I am. I look up to you folks who are working out. Like I said, I would not be able to do those squats at all. Time was when I could. Likely all through my 40's and well into my 50's. I was working on staying fit and staving off decay like those doctors in the Cenegenics advertisements. All that changed with a more stressful, sedentary life albeit on the road and eating poorly and not sleeping , etc., and new meds six years ago. I have nothing really to bitch about. I just need to get off my duff and do. Thanks for listening. I'll be quiet now. |

moonit, these two guys are my kettlebell coaches. |

So true. Who does this remind me of? Personally, I am going to watch the Egyptian cheese panda for the rest of my days. |
constrict your anus 100 times a day, and the answer will be revealed to you. many, many thanks, sem. |
150% of the RDA. That, more than just about anything else, has helped get me out of a fatigue slump. |
|
the problem is, once you start, you can't stop. |
|

Chute as in a channel down which falling materials are guided.I think this is better. Don't you? |

yesterday i set a personal record. i deadlifted 205 lbs. which means, indeed, i will not be needing heather's help in any cage battle against the swine. however, now i can't help but wonder if setting this personal record is due to consistent intense training, or simply constricting my anus 100x a day. i guess the answer will be revealed to me. somehow. |
|
|
|
indeed weigh 205 pounds-- but good luck getting me to stand still long enough for you to deadlift my 205 pound ass. "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." i ever tell you they used to call me "little ali" when i was a kid? keep swingin', child. keep swingin'. i'll see you in the cage. |
why's that? you kept running around telling people you were the greatest of all time? besides, fightin's not really what you want to do in the cage is it? "Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even." |
I am a couple decades behind 205, right now I am good with lifting more than I am. I want sarah to explain what people do in cages, please please. Also, please. Pretty. |
|
this *is* the cage. it doesn't belong to me, so i can't answer that question. and i don't really want to win either. i just like to sass off to the swine for shits and giggles. |
but for the record, i really did deadlift 205#! this accomplishment has carried me on its shoulders all week long. i have yet to find a consistent measurable benchmark for proof of any sort of progress in the work of parenting, so instead i picked up where i left off lifting weights. |
I was really hoping for one of sarah's stories. Brain silk (how they are not what they are.) It has been a really long time since I read those. Also been a long time since an even match. Congratulations on your lift! |
Hamster Ball Congratulations Sarah! You're an iron woman! |
|
it feels like maybe i write all day long in my bead but barely a fraction of it ends up in text. the beautiful thing that happens in the cage is the opportunity to say or do whatever you want without enduring the probability of eye contact. inside the cage you can make it up, mostly without consequence. i say this with one eye open. otherwise i can't focus. |

i will be 40 years old on monday. i've never been into celebrating my own birthday. however, in honor of this milestone i've decided to so something a little silly. i bought a doorway pull-up bar ($20) and resolved to do 40 pull ups a day for one year straight starting on my birthday. tomorrow i head off to the gulf coast with TD1. sand, sun, surf. sweet jesus i need it. |
not quite in midlife crisis, but at least I have enough angst to lose some weight. I don't figure I'll get all crisisy until I'm 45 or so and I haven't accomplished what I hope to. |
|
|
We just found out our landlord/neighbor is going to be 35, which seems wrong, as we're still in the mindset that property owners should be older than us. |
|
I'm a little over a year from 30. |
