Headbutted a biker

If I had a digital camera I would post a snap of my facial reconstruction: a nice dent/split running down my forehead. Sorry, no camera!

I wish that I had some great story with which to back it up, something revealing a great fount of bravery, an unwavering sense of duty, or some highly admirable quality. At the very least it could be from headbutting a biker.

But no, I just walked into the corner where the hallway to the bathroom meets the living room.

In better news, I probed the injury to my achilles tendon by hitting the weights for a spell (seated cable rows; dumbell shoulder press; dumbell flys; lat pulldowns; dumbell bent over rows; bench press machine and ab bench) and then after a couple of hours break I went for my first post-injury run (just 25 minutes easy and the flattest ground that I could find. I am only checking out the state of the foot after all!).

I don't know if it is healing very quickly but the run felt okay 80% of the time. That other 20% had its worrisome moments but that was on a very uneven surface.

Anyways, don't trash your good looks my friends.

Big Breakthrough in my Life

Yeah so I bought a pair of jeans today. Banana Republic from Value Village. Nicely worn in.

Why is this significant (you must be asking this)?

Well, I stopped buying and wearing jeans when I was like 12 or so because I realized that they would inhibit my ability to kick (as in fight). Chuck Norris brought this to my attention in Black Belt magazine or the like. He was featured in an ad for really stretchy jeans in which he was doing a very sweet high side kick. I think they were a signature Chuck Norris brand. I guess that line of clothing died out sometime in the last 22 years.

Anyways, what got me out to buy jeans today? Mostly my girlfriend and her sisters who seem to think that my sense of appropriately 'nice' clothing is out of touch with reality. Also, I have a new job and only one pair of appropriate pants. Most importantly though, it's not because I don't think about fighting anymore. It's just that I've given up on the notion of high kicks.

So there you have it.

Thanks to my fans who have demanded more frequent updates ;)
