Fortune Cookie

So I went to Panda Express last week, not because it is anything great, but because you know it will be enough... Anyways, fortune cookies are no longer fortuitous, my fortune: "Ask Your Mom." What is that?!

What fortunes have you had?

A Good Day

I remember a time when I was more disciplined. I would rise early, many times prior to the sun coming up, and go for a run. This was a great way to start my day with a great work out and a quiet time with God. Well unfortunately the habit of going to bed at a decent hour and waking to be active somehow morphed into waking up and dragging myself to the shower and getting to work a few minutes early. I love the feel of a good workout in the morning and it definitely has an effect on the rest of the day. You feel alive, your blood is pumping and you know that you have accomplished something even before the official start of the day. Last night I set a time to go to bed, and I was able to stick to it. So waking up at 6am and I still managed to get 7 1/2 hours of sleep. I met a friend (Daniel) at his house where their community has an Olympic sized pool. We cranked out 1000 meters! followed by a protein shake and a peach. This is the second good workout in the past week, and I am looking forward to more. On another related note, my hip is feeling better and hopefully soon I will be able to run. So here is to healthy living...

Uncle Sam Gettin' His!

Uncle Sam has gotta get his, I get it, after all it goes to all of us as citizens right? Well what percentage does our nation need to get us through? Based on a check that a friend got from work (his last check) good ol' Uncle Sam needs about 97%! Like I said, it was his last check, and from a gross of $22.40 he pocketed a whopping $.68! Thats right $21.72 was taken. Aren't you glad we give up 97% of our incomes to all of the wonderful government programs that we have available to us?


This is just a joke, he actually had it set up to take out a flat rate of $20 out of each check for FIT (Fed. Income Tax) since this was a side job, but it is funny that it worked out that his last check was just over that and left his take home at $.68.

I Feel Old

It takes a lot to slow me down, I work hard, and play even harder. I like to do just about everything; but since working the YFC VBS and consequently rolling my ankle while playing basketball it has been a downward spiral of injury. I went on the Guy's Hiking trip that weekend with my ankle doing alright but a little sore. Well, since then it hasn't been the same and has been a source of constant irritation. So much so that I haven't gone running or done anything physical. Well the constant favoritism of my right ankle has made my hip unhappy. Why is my hip unhappy you ask? Well, my best guess is due to an injury that took place 2 Christmases ago while snowboarding. I caught an edge when i couldn't see the terrain due to shadows from the tree and went down hard on my hip. So my best guess that now its getting me back for not taking care of it then. Anyways, I had Scott Sailor (Dr.) take a look at it and he said after messing around and threatening a prostate check that i have so muscle and tendon irritation. No fun, so at least now I know how I can get better. So pray for a speedy recovery, especially since snowboarding season is nearing.

Advertising

So I am all for people making a living, however that may be. The Bible say if you don't work you don't eat. So in my mind any job is respectable... On that note, yesterday Stephen and I went to Port of Subs for lunch. As we were leaving I noticed one of those sign holder people. I thought about it for a second, then told Stephen, "If for whatever reason I have to do that to make a living, If someone asked what I did, I would tell them 'I work in Advertising'."

Random Thought.

Thats all.
