Last night was an epic night in my little world. A perfect storm in Monday Night Football resulted in me narrowly edging my way to 5-0 on my fantasy football team (no one cares but me) and simultaneously winning the office football gambling pool (the people whose money I get care). Oh what a night.
For those in the know, I used to like to lift weights a lot and was pretty good at it. So good in fact that I can just do a pretty easy pushup regiment and keep muscle mass pretty well. But due to working extra hour(s) at work, I decided to step my game up post work too. That means mixing in some legitimate weight lifting again along with the now-usual running and whatnot. Lock up your daughters.
Although I think my shoulder came this close to popping out of its socket again the other night thanks to this new use. Or maybe I dreamed that it popped out. At this point, I can't be sure of anything.
What I am sure of though is how cool this is:
Some random cheapass truck touting bullet and bomb proof glass film. The ultimate way to get your point across would be to let me unload a clip right into the driver's side window while you're sitting inside with your head against the glass. If you survive, I'll get my car bullet/bomb proofed, no matter the cost.
In another perfect storm brewing in my life, the 3-paycheck month comes at the same time as my extra-money-for-staying-more-at-work-month. And my overuse of hyphen month. Who woulda suspected?
I won't even bring up some of the stocks I've bought with gains like 27.08%, 19.53%, and 55%. That would be tacky.
We had a fire drill last week at work and then a false alarm yesterday. I had to spring into action and put on my flashy yellow vest and try to direct people. It's like my mentor Abe Lincoln once said,
"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power." I think I made it through alright.
I have this weird thing that I actually get mad when I see a news headline for something in current events or politics. I'm way behind in trying to learn all the stuff about the world as it is, and now new stuff keeps coming up? I mean, I barely had enough time to learn about
vultures and
convergent evolution today, how am I supposed to work in the Nobel Peace Prize?
Vultures in the Americas and the vultures in Europe/Asia aren't even really related. It's like, with these landmasses separated, a vulture like creature just evolved on both separately.
As Abraham Lincoln also said,
"I don't think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday." So true, old friend.
