Put some white flower on my legs last night. Its an analgesic balm made by a company in the orient I think. Its like icy hot, but Asian maker. Don't use it much, but the legs were/ are sore. Did some squats, leg extension, leg curls, and seat leg press yesterday. Not my usual routine, but times are changing.
Seems there has been a great deal of turmoil in the world, but when is there not turmoil. Egypt and Tunisia are protesting. People are upset at the high unemployment and high food prices. In Bell, California, the city council failed to meet because a lack of quorum. Council members are calling sick and going to the hospital. Bell is under investigation for the misappropriation of funds. Political parties want to repeal Health Insurance legislation. Its mandatory to get car insurance, but a person's health care is not given the same amount scrutiny. Go figure.
Seems like there is lots craziness going around. Trouble with Haiti. Oil Spills in Louisiana. States considering filing bankruptcy. School cop is arrested for making a false statement about a crime. He fabricated a story about being shot by an alleged car thief which caused a massive school lock down in LA Unified School District. American Idol auditions in Nashville are being viewed around the world. What anarchy! Learned a few weeks ago that the astrological sign one was born under is now not the case. Yet, the horoscopes in the newspaper and online do not reflect this change.
Still life is okay. I got U-verse and can watch my shows almost any time I want. Saw Greenberg, Eeeh. Watched Spartacus and Ally McBeal. Watched the episode of Decoded with Brad Meltzer. Destination Truth is starting again in February.Plus, I recently got Geico Insurance and things are alright in the world. (Just kidding on the first part. Still with Farmers)
There is trade off. Good things and bad things happen. Deconstruction and Construction is happening all the time. We need to destroy things in order to make new things. Simple catabolism and anabolism at a macro level. Yo go Darwin and survival of the fittest. Or should we thank Keynesian economics for the invisible hand. Perhaps MTV or ESPN. Maybe Al Gore and Internet or Robert Zuckerman and Facebook? How about Twitters or Polar Bear haters.(I like polar bears by the way)
We are all child of our times. Nothing was like what our parents faced.There is WWI, WWII, Cold War, Vietnam, the Age of Aquarius, Atari, Video Games, and Disco Music. Heavy Metal bands and Rap Craze. Nothing is like what are children face. Direct TV, Facebook, Premium on Demand, $3.50 gas prices, and hybrid cars.Guns in school. Go Glee and Skins. Miley Cirus is really Hannah Montana. Kind like Clark Kent and Super-Man.
It is supposed to be this way. We do not live in a world where black and white tv exists anymore. We are in the world where we insulate listening to our music on the Ipod. People are forgetting how to have human contact. Thank goodness for twitter and youtube. We feed on Facebook being voyeurs of other people's lives. Perhaps this why there is staying power of American Idol and reality tv. I mean what discernible skills do Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian really have. Ordinary average people need to know that hard work, talent, and luck can bring fortune and fame. Think Susan Boyle, Clay Aitkens and Ruben. Without these shows, would have never discovered the JabaWoockeez.
Anyways, sorry about the rant. Guess it is necessary for people to cry out once in awhile. Price of change is a little sore muscles. Pain tells us we are still alive and that we need to focus on the task at hand. At times these micro-tears on the social structure of life is price we pay in order to make social change. There is a term I learned in Personal Training. SAID--Specific Adaptation to Increased Demand. Essentially, its classic Kieerkegard's philosophy. Whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.The body will adapt to the demands placed on them. In order to make us stronger, we need to go through an occasional turmoil to discover what is really important and what is not needed. What did someone say about "a little revolution is. . ."
Ranting is White Flower for the soul. It heals wounds and stinks a little. In the end, it helps deal with stuff that feels overwhelming. So don't hold it in, scream a little. In the process, you will have less body fat and strong MusKles. (Typo was on purpose). Strong like bull.
