training journal, 08.02.21, i’m boring when i’m training edition

By shag carpet bomb • Feb 21st, 2008 • Category: Training Journal

yeah. yeah. I’m sorry I have nothing fabulous to say. All my time is now being taken up with training physically or training, uh, mentally? As to the later, I say ‘uh’ because I am taking some company training courses. Hence, instead of reading books or arguing politics, I’m reading management ideology such as theories […]



hurtin’

man. I just sat here for an hour mawing (mauing? rhymes with chowing) down some green beans, sausage, cheese, and tomato sauce — my impromptu casserole because we didn’t go shopping and the pickens are slim — in terms of quickie meals. I listened to the aspiring Liars In Chief saying the most idiotic shit. […]

Definitely feeling the DOMS today. Morning wasn’t bad. It’s sitting for a couple of hours, then getting up. oiy. And man, after two short sessions of cardio, am and pm, then kickboxing, my thighs are burning. She made us do — i don’t know what they’re called — but it burns my […]

There’s been an on-going debate about Obama’s candidacy. A fellah named Julio Huato argued that Obama’s presidency would create a worldwide upsurge in the self-assurance of black people across the globe and seeing as how they are the most oppressed in this country and globally, then it would be a good thing:
“But the strongest reason […]



Carl Remick, Presente!

I am sadder than sad about this news. We were just discussing research that indicated a connection between a layoff when someone’s over forty and a higher than usual rate of death. Carl Remick, LBO list member, who was there at the birth of the list, died and did so while dealing with a health […]

I’ve been reading more of Maza’s The Myth of the French Bourgeoisie: An Essay on the Social Imaginary, 1750-1850. I came upon her discussion of the phamplets that proliferated on the eve of the French Revolution. She discusses the various evils identified by phamphleteers. One was “An Essay on Privilege” by Abbé Emmanuel-Joseph Sieyès, which […]

I think you were wrong about what you said last night, Gary. For those who don’t know, Gary’s an old friend of mine and we yakked on the phone for about four hours last night. Anyway, I think Gary and I might have it wrong about blogging and memory. I don’t know if it’s […]

First, I insist that a law be passed specifically for the women in my workplace. They will not be allowed to wear the fashionable ballerina slippers with pants that are too long. In fact, if I had my druthers, they would have to wear them with pants that are not flare-legged or bell-bottomed. Tapered slacks, […]
