I ran into an awesome problem today: I wanted to tweet something without telling some of my business followers that I had a rat at my home. Then I remembered… I built my own social network! Yea! D&M serves the purpose just fine.
So:
I’m having a tough time with something… Help me find exactly which part is untrue:1. I started smoking (long story).
2. While smoking, I was looking for satellites in the Dallas Sky. I spotted a couple and asked my wife to me out and see. When she did, we saw 2 rats crawling along the power lines. Of course Abby freaked out and I swore they were actually possum. As if my long tailed, beady eyed dopplegangers would have been any better than seeing actual rats exit my home on a cable network.
3. Wifey is at a concert tonight, Bon Jovi.
4. While wifey was rocking it to big hair, I was enjoying a smoke as if it were religion itself. While out looking for the same satellite that passed over my house at 9:24 PM CST on Thursday and Friday, I saw it… Not just a rat, but a fracking family of them. They actually went and met on the cable line as if they were having communion: sniffing each other out, bowing the head, and taking a bit to eat.
5. I went running today. -
Hey mike, I like what you’ve done with the site! Can you give me any insight as to whom all these people are. I think it is
great!Hi, yea, some are test accounts and a couple of friends are on. Give it time and let people introduce themselves.

My stupid finger is killing me today so I’ll not be revisiting the basketball court again. Maybe I’ll take to the trail and pull my fat dog about with me. She’s not really fat, nor am I being mean. I just heard that some coaches berate their players into aggressive enthusiasm for their master. Go figure.
-
I busted my finger on Friday. That totally sucked.

I’m so frakking tired. Got a business meeting this afternoon, gotta get some rest.

Ok, project MB2.0 took a bit of a hit today. I played on Saturday and was reminded that I can’t really play with the giants. Low in spirit, I trekked to the court anyway just to get out of the house and I was soundly thrashed again. My shot is awful and I really need to get much, much stronger.
-
Today I pushed down a shake with a raw egg in it. I dunno, just feeling a little Rocky I guess. In an hour, I’ll be headed to the gym to watch the Big boys play some real basketball and I hope to join them, at least the Rocky in me does. On the other hand, the slightly sore, joint pained, shoulder bruised, hip bruised, limping cowboy in me kind of just wants to just watch the game. No matter what happens, at least I got that shake in me.

Ahh, another fun day on the court. For a while, I was of the mind that I could not show up too early for a game. I’ve learned that is not the case… I waited an hour for a full game to start and was both schooled and had the chance to be the tutor. I did hit the weights yesterday and I have noticed subtle changes in my game. Perhaps I’ll hit the pavement and run instead of ball tomorrow. We’ll see.

Missed the court today. I had to attend a business meeting. Imagine that, I actually used business meeting as an excuse not to go to the YMCA. Fortunately, it wasn’t a mere excuse, we have a big presentation in 2 days. Alas, I’m back home and taking some time to watch bad TV and work on MB2.0
-
So, back in the saddle. MB2.0 is starting to work out. My shot is improving (12 points in 2 games of 15) and I’m getting more lift. Dunking isn’t in my immediate future but perhaps more rebounds count for something. On the downside, it takes a couple of minutes to get warmed up. Getting warmed up means missing the rim by about 4 feet and quite literally giving the ball away for nothing.
-
That just frakking hurt. I dropped by the Y today to get some time in on the court and I slammed in the throat by a boulder of a shoulder. Cheap shot, blindside leaning pick. F*** I could barely breathe for 15 minutes and I’m gonna be lucky to slurp down my ramen noodles through a straw.
What really pisses me off is the normal court high jinx. I’ll notice a guy going to the middle, I’ll forget for a second that a belly built over 15 years is slowing the mover down, I’ll fire the pass away and the guy stops outside the lane. Then I get blamed for the bad pass. It’s time to join a league because the pick up games are getting me down.
On the plus side, I did continue my MB2.0 project. After the game I hit the leg weights. I actually forgot how much fun the training is. Next phase of MB2.0: getting back on the running path…
-
I started using my bowflex today. It’s a bear to get started with the weights again. Maybe I should watch the DVDs again. The reason for it is simple: I am having difficulties playing with the big guys. My passes are off, my shot is as bad as highschool, and I’m not able to grab the boards. So, I gotta be MB2.0.

Rock on. I’ve been hitting the court myself lately. The word “Ripper” just doesn’t sound appealing to me right now so I’m taking it easy

Michael Here… I’m in Illinois taking care of sick family and it’s 3:50 at night. Unfortunately, I can’t sleep. So, I decided to put on lots of new features in from the BuddyPress package. This will give us the opportunity to extend our little site to new members with much less [...]
