    But that was because you were on the square dancing team. You loved it so much you did it competitively.

    We had to take ballroom dancing in 6th grade. Dances started soon after, and we all chose booty trains over the jitterbug.

    today I started complaining because people called out of work when it snowed. I am definitely an old grumpy man yelling at the clouds and need to get over myself.

    I was playing baseball this weekend with my nephews. Youngest one (first grade) tried to steal home. I was pitching. I rushed off the mound and tagged him out. He turns around, amazed: “I didn’t know you could run!!!”

    Doctor basically told me I was a pussy and said it was inflammation. I’m a pussy and can’t take meloxicam because it turns my skin bright red so I took ibuprofen three times a day for 2 weeks. It immediately felt better but a few weeks later, it hurts again.

    Yes, that’s also why mine occasionally (always) hurts. The weight training. And the other exercising. Not from being old.

    When the Knicks beat the Celtics the other day to win the series, the announcers were saying it's the first time in 20 years the Knicks were going to the conference finals. My mind started thinking about Patrick Ewing, John Starks, Anthony Mason and crew. Then they showed a highlights of the 2004 Knicks with Latrell Spreewell. I audibly said, "fuck, I remember that."

    A couple of weeks ago I planted a bunch of grass seed after I had some trees taken out. Raked in the said seed and somehow fucked up my left shoulder/tricep as they've been killing me since.

    Also was throwing bp to my 8 year old on sunday amd he hit one right back up the middle at me. My loss of agility in my now elder years(I'm 40) caused me to take it off the calf. I'm now hobbling around as that bitch hurts.

    I’m starting to realize that you will start hurting because you don’t work out or because you work out too much and that time doesn’t care. The Doc told me my pain is simply a result of years of working out

    Spent 5 hours in the WR last night thinking my appendix was going to explode. Turns out I have severe diverticulitis which is a) great that I don’t have to have surgery and b) painful as fuck and am having a hard time doing anything save lying in bed. When I’m done with my antibiotic regime I get to enjoy a colostomy. Occurs mostly in people above 50.
