    It's not anger. Just immense disappointment with humanity. Which sadly seems to be my dominant mood/emotion/state at the moment.

    I can relate to that! :(

    Still though, I don't think it's a fair value judgement to excuse fitness freaks from consuming the calories of 3 people for lifestyle choices, but not accepting fatness freaks for consuming the calories of 3 people.

    (blink) (scratch head) :dunno: Wow, I have never looked at it that way before. I'm going to be thinking about this all week now!!


    Likewise. Whenever I go to a restaurant and see (a) all the food that people purchased for the express purpose of throwing it away, and (b) all the untouched glasses of water that will just be thrown away, a little piece of me cries over the wasteful, imprudent attitudes of people. :mad:

    CrowZer0 Assume formlessness.

    My point exactly, but looking at some of these eating competitions the winners or most succesful ones don't seem to be fatness freaks which always makes my mind boggle.

    So, that was new.
    During ATK training I looked up and saw one of the other Karate-students coming in.
    I was rather sure, she'd come for... well, the Karate-training, which would be after the current session.

    We would start at 8:00pm, and at 8:25pm she still wasn't on the mats.
    So, the coach started looking for her - nowhere to be found.

    What was found was an open window...

    Seriously: What grown-up person comes to train and the reconsiders and leaves through a window?!?
    And, no, she didn't leave through the door, someone would have noticed that, because the door is one meter left of the mat.

    It's disrespectful, sort of outrageous and it also risked that someone breaks in and steals our stuff (my pants were right on the windowsill).

    The coach was pretty annoyed for it; he tried to call her but she wouldn't answer and if she were to lie and not apologize, he will kick her out of training (at least that's what he said).

    And people say *I* am nuts!

    I'm still baffled about the impertinence, to be honest.
    The coach woudn't talk about anything else during warm-up.
    She really got herself into trouble.


    And right now, I'm being nervous as hell: In a few hours are Dan-gradings, one of which in kickboxing (my weakest discipline) for which I am uke (yeah, yeah, I know, it's kickboxing, there is no Uke, there only is partner.... )
    I think, I might be blacking out :bang:

    Ill again, and frustrated with my rubbish lungs.

    Training in martial arts again, also training for a race and lifting. Get ill, ease up on the lifting, recover a bit, get ill, ease up on the running and MA intensity, rest. Get ill again :(

    Got a reminder today, why I should constantly wear my mouthguard on the ground as well.
    Got a knee to the mouth and now have an interesting crack on the inside of my lower lip :rolleyes:
    It's nothing major, just annoys me a bit, because it was sort of unnecessary, if I had remembered my mouthguard.


    What has me more annoyed: My Uke for my green belt (my second JJ teacher, whom I was Uke for and will probably be again) is not as reliable as I hoped.
    From "we train twice or three times a week" we sort of ended in "Once. With luck".
    Which for me isn't enough, since I actually have to work on getting dynamic movement into it.
    I can explain the techniques, I know how and why they work, I can do them properly in slow - and as soon as I have to go fast, I'm scared to hurt my partner, in case I screw my control :(

    Had a crap day yesterday. Someone ran into my car as I was coming through a set of traffic lights. I suspect the car will be written off by the insurance. I should get some money for it but, because it was an old car, it's going to cost me a lot more than I'll get to buy a newer one. :(

    That sucks, Frodo.

    Held some Thai pads today and the velcro straps caught it and now the white lining is visible through the black outer.

    What's worse is it's my HAVOC one and it's the only one in the UK.

    Ugh that sucks. Sorry to hear it. Hope you can find yourself a bargain replacement car.

    Are you physically OK?

    I'm fine thank you. My neck is slightly stiff, but then my neck has been dodgy for years. The accident actually happened outside the local hospital and the chap who hit me was a medic, but neither of us were hurt.

    I spoke to my mechanic chappie today and he reckons that it won't be worth trying to fix the car it's possible the chassis had been bent by the impact and, even if it isn't, and he got 2nd hand parts, the cost of the labour would be more than the car is worth. So he's going to start making enquiries to see if he can find me something reasonable as a replacement. I just need to wait and see what I get back from the insurance.

    I was in a very similar situation a few years back, Frodocious, and worked my way out of it. If you can afford to be patient, you can find some amazing deals on quality used cars.

    Prediction: You not only figure things out, but you end up in a better situation than before, and this whole ordeal ends up being blessing in disguise.

    Well I currently have an Astra sport turbo as a courtesy car, so that's an improvement. I suspect I won't have it long as they will settle the claim fairly quickly be writing mine off. I have spoken to my mechanic chappie and he is looking out for something for me, so we'll see what he comes up with.

    Anyone else fed up of the political mud slinging mayhem? It feels worse than previous elections.
    I'll be thankful when it's all over! :(

    Cars suck.In the space of a week I had a temp sensor in the engine go, then the clutch went and THEN the new slave cylinder they put on was faulty out the box (according to them) so the clutch failed again the day after it was "fixed".
    Three holiday days used up in a week for no gain. :(
