Shame on me...

I just realized that I never wrote about how my first time back at skating went. Which it surprisingly went a lot better then I expected. I didn't fall at all. Although there were a few times that I was doing my best impression of a cartoon character with the windmill arms going...in other words my arms were swinging every which way to keep me from falling. I couldn't believe how much of a workout it was. Then again it didn't help that the rink didn't have like any air or fans on and it was a little warm outside. I was sweating so much but sweat is a good thing for losing weight!! I really enjoyed it though. It was hard to get back into it between remembering to actually push more side to side then back and forth. When skating you actually push your feet to the sides to move and I forgot to bend my knees. Which might be a problem for me since I have crappy knees. That'll happen when that lovely protective layer behind your kneecap is missing. So as you might imagine bending the knee to an extent is kind of a pain for me. But I think I can work through it and get better with the whole skating deal.

We had skated on and off for about 2 hours. I wish I could have skated non-stop a bit more but the night before I had to move a lot of furniture and my knees were already sore. It was a lot of carrying things up and down stairs. I don't even remember how many trips I made up and down the stairs so yeah it didn't take a lot of skating before my knees started to feel like jello. LOL I've almost thought about looking on E-bay for some skates but the problem is I wear anywhere from a size 9 to a 10. It just depends on the shoe. So it'll be too much of a risk that I get skates that don't fit. I'll probably just check Dicks and maybe this store not too far from me that's called Surf and Skate. I want to get a pair and be able to have wheels for outside and wheels for the rink. But it'll depend on how much they run. Hmm I just thought about it and I might even check like Wal-Mart or something like that. That would probably be cheaper then the other two options. Maybe today at lunch I'll go look into that and see.

This and that with a little more of this...

Yep I'm back already. Not too much to report on really. Nothing overly exciting. I went skating again last week and did bust my ass twice. LOL Then again I knew that was coming since I was skating buzzed. Yes I went skating after hitting the bar. But hey I already had the plans to go out so I couldn't back out since it was with another friend. But it was funny. I think I may buy myself a pair of skates that way I can skate whenever I want even outside. It's just a lot of fun. I can't explain it, but it just is. Maybe because it's something new that I haven't done in a while. Either way it works for me.

Unfortunately it looks like softball isn't going well for me this year. I didn't run a team this year and well for whatever reason my one team last year didn't ask me back. I don't get that but whatever. I had found 2 new teams to play on but it looks like the one might fall through. They want me to be able to commit to every game and I can't. There are at least 2 nights of games that I know work would conflict with it more then likely. So I'll have to see if that's okay or not. As much as I love softball I can't pick it over my job. Afterall without my job I wouldn't have money to play softball. If this team falls through I'll just focus on getting back into shape and maybe even use the time to condition myself more with softball. Especially since either this fall or next spring I will be running my own team again. I've got at least 2 or 3 new people to add to my team and I think they'll make great additions. It'll just be hard to go from playing on 2 teams to 1 and maybe not even that much playing time because of how many people are on the team. Oh well...nothing I can do about that.

Nothing new to report in the love life. Oh wait that's because I don't have one. I always get the bad luck of guys being into me that I don't want that way or see that way. Or if it's mutual it comes about that they are only about a few things and something real isn't it. Too many people play games. And I'm meaning men and women. Enough with the mind games. The BS is old. So I'm back to that "let's just enjoy life while we can" attitude and not the attitude of really wanting to be in a relationship. But I guess that's just a bunch of BS since even then I always want in a relationship. It's just I accept being single more. Oh well...it'll happen when it's meant to.

I'm looking forward to this weekend. Softball starts (either 1 or 2 leagues and up to 4 games). Then I'm also going to see some friends I haven't seen in a while on Friday. I'm trying to get as many people up for that as possible and kinda make it a reunion of old faces. If you want more info...contact me on that. Then Saturday I'll be downtown to see a local band I'm into. It'll be a fun time. But oh well, that's about it for now.

Bust my ass

I'm thinking I might be insane to be planning what I am tomorrow! I mean I truly may have lost my mind to be going through with this! In the end I might be banged up and bruised up and wishing I had never strapped them on! The floor burns I might get! The times my ass might get busted or all the time I might spend on my knees. Okay get your mind out of the gutter! I'm talking about going roller skating! That's right I'm bringing back my youth! I'm traveling back in time and strapping on those ugly brown rental skates and attempting to roll my way around the rink without falling too many times. I think I'll be alright with it, but thinking and reality are sometimes completely and totally different. For instance I might think I'll only fall once and reality might be that I fall more times then I can count on my hands and toes!

So chances are I might be recovering all next week from my skating wounds. But I'm hoping it goes well especially since I'm supposed to go out tomorrow night and want to be ready to party it up. Not ready to limp in there and drink away the pain. LOL But I'm looking forward to it. It should be cool to do something different. Plus if it goes okay I'll keep doing it and it'll be good exercise. Fun exercise at that too. Which is never a bad thing at all. So I guess later this weekend or sometime I'll have to update on how that goes. Unless I'm in too much pain to sit down. LMAO!!!
