Update

So last I posted, my guitar had been damaged.  I didn't really get into specifics about how, or what, or when... so here we go.
I brought my guitar to work so I could work on some riffs and scales since I never make time to do that.  So my partner, who also plays guitar decided he like how my guitar sounded and aske if he could play it. So I let him, and he belted out some Garth Brooks tune.  So when he finished, he got up and was holding my guitar by the neck and decided to take a bow, just kinda playing around.  Well, he didn't compensate for the position of the guitar at his side and he slammed the bottom of the guitar into the floor, carpeted, yeah, but the floor nonetheless.  I didn't see it or know it at first, but I knew I had heard something and I jokingly told him that if he damages my guitar, I was gonna break some bones in his body... little did I know that the damage was already done.  He was sheepishly guarding the guitar and I finally figured out something happened.  When I looked at it I knew I had 2 choices, beat the ever living shit out of him, which I strongly considered, or figure out a plan to fix this.  Hauled ass to Melhart's, as they were fixing to close and long story short, Dave was nice enough to hang on to it and look at it. 

Fast forward 3 days later and my guitar is back home where she belongs.  Looking perfect and sounding as good if not better.  They even repaired a crack I had put in it that I was not planning on having repaired.

So, all turned out well in the end.  Lesson learned. Nobody touches that guitar again.  Whew, at least it wasn't ruined.

On a side note, I tried some crossfit today but it turns out I was doing it wrong.  Tomorrow I will try again and see if I get it right :)  I'm still sore, but I wanna do it right.

Ok, I'm off.

Pissed, then not, weird.

My guitar got damaged today. Not one of my electric ones, not one of the inexpensive ones... but the one that matters most. The oldest one. I was beyond pissed, but in the end, what the hell, it is only a "thing".  And it still plays and the damage is not that bad.  I actually feel bad for my work partner that damaged it. He has been damn near in tears since he's the one that did it.  Oh well.  It will be fine. 

I'm bored. need to go home and maybe watch a movie.

Some Body Aches

So I have found that I'm not in the best shape of my life... seems as that is THE story of my life for the last 10 or so years.  Anyhow, I decided to do something that I really enjoyed and have actually missed doing... boxing.  So I signed up and have started boxing again.  I have to say, save for the pain I'm feeling in muscles and places I forgot I had, I am loving it.  My bone spurred toe, and my messed up rotator cuff in my shoulder be damned, I'm gonna box!!

First time I went back I almost puked.  Been that long.  Then of course Gavin ended up in the hospital with the Flu, then his momma did.  Sucked all the way around and I didn't box all last week except for once.

This week I went in on Monday and we did cardio.  Running (which I don't like at all ) then jump rope for 6 minutes, i think about 150-200 jumps (or something like that, I stopped counting and started trying to concentrate on not passing out) then we did 5 rounds of :

squat jumps
ninja squats
side jumping squats
burpees
ski run
3 pionters
Y's
and a 3 point oblique thing from the pushup position that I don't know what it is called.
Then Abs.

Needless to say, I am very sore.

I was kinda let down that when I got off of work and went home to change and go box, I got there to find that they didn't open today due to the cold weather.  BOO!!!! what a let down.  I wanna train.  I'm starting to look forward towards it.  Hopefully Roberto will be in this afternoon and I can go in.

I have a goal, and I shall reach it!!

So... Kids have been sick all week. 2 days in the hospital and finally home. Hopefully nobody else gets the flu or bronchitis. Kids are getting cabin fever.
