Abram and I finally put up the punching bags. Nothing is more fun than 30 minutes of boxing cardio. My shoulders feel like my arms want to fall off, but you keep punching anyway. Wraps and bag gloves make a big difference as I have already cut up my hands from just messing around with it bare fisted a few times. On Abram's bag, there is this one spot that is like concrete. I swear, if you hit it there hard enough, I'm sure your hand will break. So we marked that spot with an X. Ironically enough, the X makes you want to hit it and just like a hot stove, you forget the pain and hit it and then quickly remember how much it hurts.
After last week's bout with drinking, I'm pretty sure I'm going to take it easy this week.
Ok, I called my second student loan company and made a payment to them. I am hopefully going to be making payments to them now to get current. I can't believe in total I'll be paying about $1000 bucks a month in just student loan payments. I still think it was worth it to get here. Getting out of default should relieve a lot of stress, but I'm sure paying them will have its own stress, but that I'd rather deal with.
Poker has been on my mind. My game, well my Sit and Go game has been so terrible lately. I don't know what it is. I figure it just means I need to play more, but when you are bubbling you are burning through more money than you are taking in. It could be studying I'm lacking, but man I have put a lot of time into that. I need to figure out a way to do both, get experience and still continue to study away until I can get back to the game I am proud of. I've reduced my multi tabling a lot, but this must be what happens when you take a year long break from something you used to really love. It feels like when I am lifting. I see the weights and my mind remembers lifting them with such ease, but my body isn't there anymore and it hits me that I'm going to have to figure out where I'm at all over again.
-- “Everyone knows what an ankle is,” said an official of the association of Texas medical doctors. Not so, said a lawyer representing Texas podiatrists: “You don’t have an ankle. The foot actually includes the ankle.” A state appeals court in March sided with the medical doctors, but the podiatrists say it’s not over yet and that they may continue to treat ankles even though they are licensed to work only on feet.
Just How Ignorant Are American Voters?
Bob Edwards Radio.com explores Rick Shenkman’s new book, “Just How Stupid Are We?: Facing the Truth About the American Voter“:
–Only 2 in 5 voters can name the three branches of the federal government.
–Only 1 in 7 can find Iraq on a map.
–Only 1 in 5 know that there are 100 federal senators.
And the most chilling…
–Nearly half (49%) of Americans think the President has the authority to suspend the Constitution.
I see so many people doing the terrorist fist bump now...it is almost scary.
Every feel like livestock when you fly? DHS is exploring a new technology (warning, Moonie Times link) which, if it makes to airlines, will guarantee I will never fly again:
A senior government official with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has expressed great interest in a so-called safety bracelet that would serve as a stun device, similar to that of a police Taser®. According to this promotional video found at the Lamperd Less Lethal website, the bracelet would be worn by all airline passengers.
This bracelet would:
• take the place of an airline boarding pass
• contain personal information about the traveler
• be able to monitor the whereabouts of each passenger and his/her luggage
• shock the wearer on command, completely immobilizing him/her for several minutes

ReplyDeleteI will not acquiesce in on it. I think nice post. Especially the designation attracted me to study the unscathed story.
