I ate it really hard on my bike just now. I was going downhill and skidded and flipped across the pavement. I know how to fall because of skateboarding growing up, and for some reason I have an immunity to pain. I remember three thugs that attempted to mug me and the lead guy punched me in the face and I just started laughing. He didn't like that so he punched me again and I said, "I'm over this" and walked away. What could they do? It was the middle of the day, and I wasn't giving them anything. I wouldn't suggest this plan of attack to anyone. I have a seemingly unbreakable head. I literally fell on my head skateboarding twenty times without a helmet and I never broke it open and actually never cried. Wait, I just went on a tangent that really is not the point of this blog. The point is that I fell on my bike and everyone stopped in their tracks to see if I was okay. But I jumped up immediately and started laughing and gave people the thumbs up. I cleaned off the cuts and biked home with a smile on my face. Oh well, right? Everything is fine. Not so, my knees and elbows are all cut up and the exercises are a lot harder. I'm pissed at myself right now because I see my as actions being reckless. I just made the week harder just because I like going fast downhill. The need for speed has got to stop, and I've got to be more careful or the project will be harder than it should. I care more about the project than a quick downhill run. So I'm making a vow to myself to not be reckless on my bike. If I come to the blog space with another injury I would appreciate you all verbally slapping me in the face. Thanks.
On to a more tasty point: I found a bunch of salt-free spice mixes, and it really makes all the difference. Now every meal is a bit different and I'm enjoying the meals. I'm also getting more creative, so that helps also. Even fruit has gotten better. An apple is good, but with a wee bit of cinnamon it seems more like a snack to me (I don't know why).
As for my team, um, names aren't coming to me that fast. They're always long and pointless, but I'll keep trying. Kim had the suggestion as team rockstars which would be cool for me, but I think we can do better. I feel like is should be funny and awesome at the same time. But no matter what I'm pretty easy, so whatever we decide is cool.
hahahhaha i cant believe you got mugged and laughed in their faces.
ReplyDeletesorry, i know that wasnt the point of the blog, but still..... is this immunity to pain infectious, cos i could do with some!?!
freakin' superhero. seriously, i have images of you now, you should lycra-costume-it-up and go out there and laugh in naughty crime-do'ers faces. (after PCP is done of course).
There is science behind this. Some people have less sensitive pain response systems. There's even those unlucky individuals with CIP (Congenital Insensitivity to Pain) who's lives are ALL messed up.
ReplyDeleteKeep going, speed is overrated. Grace, balance, and POWER is where it's at.
Ha! Those muggers were so confused! :)
ReplyDeleteDo y'all have mangos? B/c dude, I just cut up an ass ton of mangos to freeze for smoothies and they were so sweet and delicious and like heaven. Oh god, I wanted to eat both bags that I cut up at once.
OOh good point, Jenny -- Team Mango, maybe? Also -- we live in a pretty hilly city, but I'm also terrified of drivers, so I've never taken that kinda of tumble. I'm glad you could walk away, but have you even tried the double katanas since? That with f*cked up elbows has got to be sinister.. Heal up quick! Liquid bandaid, maybe? (nat)
ReplyDeleteOMG, I love mangoes. I eat about three a week and most of them are big enough for more than one serving of fruit. Gotta say that Team Carrot is growing on me, though. Is that perverse?
ReplyDeleteOr we could combine your superhero immunity to pain with Naty's Fantastic Four idea somehow...
Perhaps you need more fresh ground nutmeg in your life. It is worth slowing down for.
