8/28/2006 The Truth About RunningWe are often lead to believe that running results in the exercise of our legs, abs, and entire body in general.
I cannot believe it took me until today to find out that that is actually mostly false. When I am sprinting/jogging/or doing whatever form of that exercise that does not result in exercising our entire body like we are lead to believe, I would say that the general image of the event is as follows:
PUSH! Annnddd we're off, on a good start, I mean, the wind is cool, I feel good about finally getting off my lazy butt and doing something that I (wrongly) believe would give my body exercise....
But then it is like... hmm.. what is this mad burning in my legs and why, why is there that sharp pain in my gut? This cannot possibly be healthy for me.
But I am like, oh, don't be dumb, the whole world says that running is a (questionably) good form of exercise for (questionably) your entire body!! So, keep on going, yes, do that, put that leg in front and there you go, yes, keep doing it.... No, no, ignore the stabbing in your side, this is not a Shakespeare play, you can not stop and go "Hoy, Romeo, stop slicing me up with your sword, mate, I'm not the one about to give the crap idea which is going to kill you and Juliet"... So just, keep, going... Okay, ummm... so what happens if my breathing starts to go wheeze, gasp, heeeeeeze, and I feel like my lungs are about to explode and then snither down into little rubber pieces like a popped balloon?
Umm... is exercise supposed to make you see white and then black and then follow the little tunnel of light when somebody calls your voice and you float towards the.... and..... wait... hey, look, at least my lung are getting the exercise because all this frantic panting and gasping for air must be some form of exercise, right?
Except... like, I get a brief understanding of how people with athsma feel. Kind of like when someone punches you while throwing their entire weight into your gut leaving you with zero oxygen in your lungs and full comprehension of what it is like to have someone punch you while throwing their entire weight into your gut leaving you with zero oxygen in your lungs.
Good, good.
Um, so then it is like, hmm what do you mean it was only 100 meter sprint, I must have sprinted half way across the world and had all the Atlantic turtles along the way hanging onto me for a ride, because it sure felt like it. So in conclusion, I say that running/jogging/this form of exercise we are lead to believe that will do our body good, really only exercises our lungs with the mad gasping and wheezing.
...And broaden our understand of turtles. Because the running itself does not last for very long before you collapse to the side.
But then, the gasping for air does seem to last long enough to be considered exercise. They say we should thank the researchers who study health, because without them we wouldn't (wrongly) know that exercise is an important factor and even (not) simple things like running will help us stay healthy. So here is to the researchers on their conspiracy. What do you mean, what conspiracy. Oh please, can't you tell? See, see, I knew you weren't that dumb. Okay, so here is a toast to all those researchers who are secretly just animal lovers and all they really want is for us to give turtles a lift. Cheers. 8/24/2006 Still just hangingSchool starts september 5th..
I still havent gotten my books yet, or checked my schedule, or checked my classrooms yet.. At this time last semester I was all prepared to go! It's amazing how after you get familiar with something you can start being a lazy ass.
I hope I have no classes on the third floor, because the stairs make me want to vomit. I had only first and second floor classes last semester, and I went up the 3rd floor stairs exactly once. Only to freak out halfway as I was coming back down, turn around, and take the elevator down to the second floor. That is because the 3rd floor stairs are spiral and if you look to either side it is a straight drop down the the first floor lobby.
Namingly, I am extremely scared of heights, and especially so when everything is made of glass and the sun is shooting straight into your eyes blinding you as you are trying to find your way down the dangerous steps.
Just looking downwards makes me break out in cold sweat. And then some impatient person behind you huffs and puffs angrily as you inch your way down one step a minute and they just HAVE to bump against you as they squeeze past, and it takes all your self control to not grab onto the railing for deal life and scream until they do something about the scary stairway. Please, god, no classes on the third floor, please. I will eventually loose all my dignity by breaking down and crying in the middle of the stairway refusing to move.
Oh, wonderful, looking forward to school already. 8/18/2006 SongsTwo songs stuck in my head these few days..
One is Chamillionaire's "Ridin (Dirty)", and the other is The Fray's "I'll Look After You", whose lyrics is posted below. I'll Look After You - The Fray If I don't say this now I will surely break As I'm leaving the one I want to take Forgive the urgency but hurry up and wait My heart has started to separate (Chorus) Oh, oh, Be my baby Ohhhhh Oh, oh Be my baby I'll look after you There now, steady love, so few come and don't go Will you won't you, be the one I always know When I'm losing my control, the city spins around You're the only one who knows, you slow it down (Chorus) If ever there was a doubt My love she leans into me This most assuredly counts She says most assuredly (Chorus) It's always have and never hold You've begun to feel like home What's mine is yours to leave or take What's mine is yours to make your own 8/13/2006 CagedRecently I have been staying home so much...
Basically doing nothing. And no, I haven't made progress on my story. As I said, I've been wasting my time... School is starting soon, and I'm kind of excited I guess.. Lol that makes me sound nerdy. But anyway I guess I'm most eager about Astronomy.. I'd write something interesting, but nothing remote to that has happened to me lately. Except while I was moving some furniture with my mom in the garage, lots of people on the street saw. Our neighbors are probably secretly celebrating tonight. They think we're moving away. 8/4/2006 Hammie Poo!Found a new good song "Over My Head" by The Fray...
Yey. My hammie is so cute.
So soft and furry and warm and gentle and adorable. He is seriously the most gentle hammie ever.
Like he never bites, and lets you stroke his head and kiss his ear... And sometimes when you try to poke his tummy he he pushes you away with his hands... He winces when u make a loud noise or pet him too suddenly
He sneezes when he's cold after you wash him..
And when he's burrowing into the wood shavings he squeaks.. And when he wakes up he stretches and yawns and its so cute...
I've never met such a friendly hammie. If only the rest of the world was like him.
