This seems to happen every now and then.. my work get so busy I completely cut off my "online social life" for several weeks at a time. Well I'm still alive and well… just really busy at work.. and tomorrow it really starts up as I will be putting in 12 hour days.. 6 days a week until April. So better get to sleep now as I won't be getting much for a while now.. See Ya.
I got the word a few minutes ago… my Sister's water just broke.
..it snowed, which doesn't happen that often here. And it was the perfect type of snow.. nice and soft. Didn't stick or freeze up the roads..
My grandmother is about to have Heart Surgery so I just wanted to say, Be brave.. You'll be alright. We love your and are praying for you. I'll see you soon.

You know the Crappy feeling you get when you have to discipline a person you care for because they disappointed you.
Well today, I have that feeling.
Somehow my Bank Account was accessed over the weekend. Yesterday while checking my account online, I saw four pending charges, none of which were made by me. Soon after which, I contacted my bank to get this all straitened out. I'm not really sure how this was able to happen, but I assume my Check Card info was stolen, as it's on file on a few sites like Amazon. All charges combined, they only attempted to take less than $100. To my banks credit, they did call me (several hours before I noticed them online) and left a message about these charges on the answering machine.
In other news, my limp is just about gone. So much so in fact, that I returned to the Gym. After a week of not doing nothing but playing video games and um, "online research", I dropped 3lbs, putting me at 197lbs. I did nothing major while I was there. Saturday I just did a quick circuit of my upper body training. And so not to put any weight or strain on my legs, I did all the lifting while sitting on the benches. Today was a fairly easy day. Instead of the usual jogging, I just worked on my abs and back. And I really felt it in my back as I haven't done "Reverse Sit-Ups" in 10 years. Felt good though.
And finally I went to see "Up" in 3-D. As usual, Pixar has not failed me. It was a wonderful film. I DO recommend you see this one if your still a kid at heart and/or are into Animation. Or of course, if you have kids. The Palm Pre, is less than a week away. And gasp, It appears I will have to wait in a line for this phone.
So the big Metro Soccer Tournament took place this past weekend, with the qualifier games taking place on Saturday an the Championship Rounds on Sunday. Myself and the rest of Berny Park S.C. was looking forward to a long and competitive day of Soccer. Our first game started at 9am vs the Rowlett Raiders. For this game I would start at Left-Mid Fielder. Within the first two minutes we scored a Goal. Another few minutes later as I attempted to chase the opponent with the ball, I made a cut to go to the right using my left leg. As I planted my left foot, heard a "pop" and felt my calf muscle contract. Initially there was no pain so I tried to run. After several attempts, I couldn't so I had to "kneel down" so the Ref could stop the play on the field so I could make an exit.
I limped off the field pretty sure I had just pulled my Calf Muscle and didn't fully understand the severity of this injury as I have never really been injured like this before, and I honestly thought I could just walk it off and play again in the next half or be ready by the start of the next game. But after I had described what had happened to my teammates on the sidelines, they told I wouldn't be doing much of anything for a few weeks at the minimum. And they were right, after about 5 minutes of playing time, I was done for the day with only a slide block and a bone head miss on a play for the ball as my only two highlights. I iced up my left calf muscle and watched the rest of the game from the sidelines. We went on to win that game 1-0. The next two games vs. Delilah FC and vs.TN Dallas I could only look on as Berny Park S.C. lost both of those games. 2-0 vs Delilah and, well I stopped keeping score vs. TN Dallas because it got so bad. Needless to say we didn't qualify to play on Sunday.
Two days later I continue walking with a limp. There is no sever pain or discoloration, only discomfort if I try to stretch out and walk correctly with my left leg. Thank goodness I sit in a chair for a living. I am going to cancel my participation in the Summer Soccer League as it's only a few weeks away. I don't want to risk re-injuring my leg and possibly make it worse and be on one leg for the entire summer. And I'm skipping the gym for the next few days. If it doesn't get worse, I will attempt to continue my exercising by altering my workouts so there is no strain on my legs.
Some might tell me to really take it easy for the next few weeks, and maybe I should. I could always spend more time playing games. I just got "Punch Out" for the Will and I am addicted to it like I was back in the 80's. Or I can pick up the pencil/photoshop and get creative over the summer. That would be really fun for me.

I swear, all my stuff is either broken or breaking down. I'm gonna have to do some major shopping soon. I just had my 1TB harddrive fail, so that needs to be addressed. On top of that, essentially all my media harddrives are full, so I need to invest in new higher capacity ones. Don't ask me why, but I sleep on a crap mattress on the floor, so a bed should be in my future. I need to get some new socks as I'm down to 4 pairs. And while I'm shopping for that, I should probably get some more underwear as well, just for good measure.
Both my work shoes and running shoes are well worn and need to be replaced. I still could use a new MP3 player as my IPod Nano battery died out a long while ago. I think I had that for a year before it died. My computer, which is a hand me down is 12 years old. It works "good enough", but I need to replace it for the sake of my Sanity. My Desk chair is worn out and not very comfortable and needs to be replaced. Although I have a Wii, I still am on the original Xbox, not a top priority, but it would be nice to upgrade to a 360.
My T.V. is an old hand me down and My "Sound System" is 13 years old, still works great, but again it would be nice to have upgrade there. No, at this time I could care less about Blu-ray, surprisingly that is not an issue for me. I rarely talk on the phone, but I really want the Palm Pre whenever that comes out. And I'll end this rant by reminding you and me what is already well known. For over a year now, I still have no car to call my own.
Today I was reminded on what's more agonizing than a busy 10hr workday. And that is a dead slow 8hr workday. I AM SO BORED!
