knee update for thursday....
a little sore this morning. in back of the inside of the knee. mcl soreness.
not a bad sign after running around a bit with my son yesterday.
didn`t push too hard and the knee held without too many dramas.
still, no soccer for me for a few more weeks.

yep, that`s right, another knee update.
i ran up stairs.
without thinking about it for a moment i tore up a short flight of stairs this morning after putting the garbage out. i got to the top of the flight and realised what i`d just done.
good way to start the day.
now all i have to do is resist the urge to play this week-end and i`ll be just fine.

cynthia.
does anyone know a woman named cynthia, or cindy, or cindee....who isn`t a complete psycho?
i apologise to any cynthias reading this that aren`t spun completely about thier y axis...though i haven`t met one yet who wasn`t entirely hoot owl crazy....it doesn`t mean that there isn`t at least one girl, who, upon birth was christened as above.
and if anyone has noticed this trend themselves, could they offer some rhyme or reason as to why?

knee update for sunday.
a week has gone by and yeaterday i got out on the field with my boys for a bit of a kick-about.
the knee held up for an hour or so of taking shots and passing and running about.
good news.
it was sore but managable last night and this morning i got through some light deadlifts, maxing out at 255 for 6 reps.
stairs a re still a challenge though, so i figure another two weeks of rest and progressive training before i risk a runout with the team.

dhmo concerns.
http://www.dhmo.org/
i never realised how dangerous this shit was until i checked out the site.
how come algore doesn`t talk about this?
Should I be concerned about Dihydrogen Monoxide?
Yes, you should be concerned about DHMO! Although the U.S. Government and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) do not classify Dihydrogen Monoxide as a toxic or carcinogenic substance (as it does with better known chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and benzene), DHMO is a constituent of many known toxic substances, diseases and disease-causing agents, environmental hazards and can even be lethal to humans in quantities as small as a thimbleful.

knee update, one week on.
yesterday i finally was able to go into a full squat and do 10 reps with just my body weight, with the help of a door handle for balance.
today i was able to do 205 for 4 deadlifts at the horizontal squat position which is as deep as i ever go when deadlifting.
it was extremely encouraging to be able to recruit quadracep muscles at the bottom position after only one week of injury to the knee, though i will know in a couple of hours how my body is going to react to the stress.
that`s what the ibuprophen is for.

apparently this guy thinks we are fucking up culture by blogging.
his view is that we gain unwarranted exposure by publishing anything we feel like, without expertise or credentials to justify our position.
he hasn`t been watching tv, or following politics obviously, where everyone and thier little dog is entertainment.
and andrew?, just in case you are reading this, culture was fucked long before we began typing.
and i take exception to his position regarding amateurism. as a musician i don`t read a note, but i have been immersed in the culture and performance of music all my life...having two parents who were accomplished pianists and singers. i have been playing guitar for 35 years, and while i have never taken formal lessons and don`t seek accolades for my performances, i can more than play.
his position that amateurs posting on youtube and the like are somehow diminishing the high position of art and music, along with litarature, science, art and everything else in the realm of human expression.
does he think freud or einstien or beethoven wouldn`t post on youtube?
he is what could be characterised as a snob. an elitist. a citizen of a bygone era when only the top 1% got a go on the stage...and i hazzard to guess that he wasn`t one of them.
blogging, and bloggers are the new culture...along with everyone else who has a voice and wishes to be heard.
expert or not.

a question.
if you pull into a parking spot only to notice that the spot is marked disabled, with a sign that has a concrete stand, what do you do?
a) find another spot to park.
b) move the sign to another open spot.
and if you chose b, are you still parked in a disabled spot?
i realise that`s actually two questions, but i think you can deal with it.

knee update, mcl tear.
finally, after nearly a week, the mcl (medial collateral ligament.) is exhibiting signs of damage.
i was carrying paint cans in the hardware store and stepped wrong over a low display, forcing pressure onto my right leg. when i got home i could feel the strain through the inside of the right knee where the mcl lies.
this is ggod and bad news.
good in that now i know how to treat the injury and what to expect.
bad in that it may take as long as eight weeks to fully recover, with the knowledge that the right knee is susceptable to re-injury as the left one has been most of my life.
defenders get a break for while.....

a visit to the chiropractor.
gets a blank look.
i dunno, he said.
go get some x-rays, he said.
oh well... slightly better than visiting a medical doctor, as he actually released the kneecap somewhat, and while that gave me a minor headache for a bit, it gave me further encouragement in that he didn`t find that the knee was unduly damaged.
and the knee hasn`t got worse....

it doesn`t suprise me at all.
http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/090721/usa/us_politics_obama
i saw a lady in waterdown recently with an obama tee-shirt which, ohter than having a big picture of his face, said in big letters "finally, progress".
ok, so firstly. we are in canada. he isn`t the president of this country....and secondly, progress?
she was a black woman, so i can only assume that she was saying that she felt that a black man in the white house was progress for her.
obama has a tough job to do. like clinton, who took over from a bush, obama has to deal with military and foriegn policy issues that are outside of his mandate(those who voted for both obamaa and clinton vehemently opposed war.) at a time when economy was behaving like a pretty prom date that got drunk way too fast...
...so it`s not suprising that those who voted for him are pissed. he`s spending money like a rapper on crack and futher fucking foriegn policy up much like billy-bob clinton.
get a saxophone obama, chicks dig it.

says it all.
and i`m sick and tired of people saying guns kill people.
people kill people....and mostly without guns.
knives, panty-hose, hammers, cars, bats, sticks, chains, bare hands.....and occasionally, a gun.
the common element in all of this is that each weapon was wielded by a....person.
a handgun is a great way to stop people coming at you with one of the above-mentioned weapons.....and peolpe are less likely to butt in on you if you are displaying a pearl handle also.
and i`m big on politeness.
people are really polite if they know you are able to open fire.
