Body Breakdown

My apologies to everyone for not getting around to their blogs yesterday. I was too tired.

I am not old. I am not old. I am not old.

There...at some time my body and I seperated on what I thought was a clear understanding.

When I want to go nude cliff diving, my body agrees and we jump from the highest rock and let everything fly until the final sting of the water slapping up against my back. That is all well and good through my teenage years. At some point, between dismounting from telephone poles (yes, you can dismount telephone poles and no it is not falling) and the speed duct taping championship (I am the champion, and only contestant), my body and I came to a disagreement.

How is this possible? Aren't body and mind interlinked? Why is it I am winded climbing the stairs in my 36 story building? Of course I am sitting on the 3rd floor, but that is beside the point.

I have a theory on this. I think the pain you feel may be mistaken identity. Your brain is telling you "you can do it" and your body is doing it. But the nervous system is plotting against us for all of those times you exercised it. I think the nervous system is saying "if you do anything, I am going to tell the brain it hurts." After years of being brainwashed by the nervous system, the brain thinks "nah, that will hurt."

Think about this, when you were in your 20s (like my wife, QueenSuchandSuch) didn't you have all kinds of energy to do things like chase after children, herd cats, or have copius amounts of sex? At what point did lying in the bed become as appealing as having sex?

QSS: "Hey, do you want to have sex?"
Me: "Yeah!"
QSS: "with me?"
Me: (pregnant pause) "yeah!"
QSS: "let's go!"
Me: "Am I doing all of the work?"
QSS: "of course."
Me: "OK, where do...you...zzzzzzzzz"
QSS: "never mind, maybe Sunday."

This brings me to my point (as I almost always have one). Isn't there a pill? We can have a pill for erectile disfunction advertized all over the TV. But we have yet to have a pill to tell the nervous system that everything is cool. Why is it I have a backache? There is really no reason for this nonsense. I was just drying myself off and POW, the nervous system told the brain "sore back."

Humanity has made some serious medical acheivements. Can't we take a pill and backup to where I could do the nude cliff diving?

My Rare Political Statement...Illegal Immigrants

This is a long post. However, it addresses BOTH sides of the immigration issue. The actual bill as it was received in the Senate from the House. http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=109_cong_bills&docid=f:h4437rfs.txt.pdf In a nutshell, here is what the bill provides (ref: Wikipedia ): · Requires up to 700 miles (1100 km) of fence along the US-Mexican border at points with the highest number of immigrant deaths. (House Amendment 648, authored by Duncan Hunter ) · Requires the federal government to take custody of illegal aliens detained by local authorities. This would end the practice of "catch and release", where federal officials sometimes instruct local law enforcement to release detained illegal aliens because resources to prosecute them are not available. It also reimburses local agencies in the 29 counties along the border for costs related to detaining illegal aliens. (Section 607) ·

What is it About Shoes?

I just have to know. What is it about shoes? I own five pairs of shoes and I can tell you where they are located at any given point in time. Each of them has a purpose. I have a black pair of tie-up shoes used for work and only work. In fact, they stay in my locker at work. The second pair of shoes are basically a backup for the first pair. They are slip on Dexter loafers in black and brown. Multifunctional and works with nearly every outfit. Third are my Nike Air Monarchs. I use these for nearly everything casual including my daily trip to work. After arriving at work, I put on the shoes mentioned first. Next are the mowing sneakers. They are plain white New Balance and were the predecessor to the Monarchs. I use them when I am mowing. They are green. Lastly are my bowling shoes. Dexter bowling shoes. They cannot be worn outside of a bowling alley, so they stay in my bowling bag (lately without any usage at all). This brings me to my point (as I almost always have one). Why in the wor

Moving on and moving out

I have made an executive decision in my life today. MomofJenMatt is right about a very sensitive issue and I have been running it through my mind for most of the night. I am strongly against the support of child pornography and to be honest, Xanga could be considered as contributing to the distribution of child pornography. Therefore, this is my last post with Xanga. I am moving to http://www.blogger.com/ . Blogger.com is tied to/owned by Google. It is a little more complicated to use, but I figure I will get used to it. This is my new blog site: http://n8ivwarrior.blogspot.com/ I welcome you to join me, although anyone can read and comment on my blog. You do not need to be a member. I hereby resign the Viewer's Choice to LarsThunder. Thank you for viewing and good luck to you all.
