I am not going to type much because it hurts to move my fingers. The reason? My fingers are connected to my body, which is currently healing after my first session of Muay Thai kickboxing. Holy smerge, we didn't lift a single weight and EVERYTHING on me is screaming. Gravity is a formidable foe, yo.
In the absence of my significant other, who is currently away in the hopes of falling into the good graces of the United States once again someday so he may return, I have taken to righting the wrongs inevitably adopted during time in a relationship: calling forgotten/ignored friends, cleaning out closets, and losing that "nesting weight" that has congealed 'round my center core area.
So I bought cool new boxing gloves, yellow with red knuckle wraps, and I whaled on the bag for a while. The most exciting part of kickboxing? Whe you are the chunkiest tallest person in the class, the instructor uses you as a target to demonstrate. He also takes great pleasure out of using you for target practice if you compare his class to Tae Bo, which apparently is a dirty word.
Although I will admit, some of my bruises are from when I tried to step out of the ring, and my foot caught the springy rope. Splat. My cool quotient went down considerably after that.
ANYWAY-
I need a good SLR camera. Where do I buy one for cheap? I don't have a thousand dollars.
(pronounced with a soft g, like "smurj.")
Hehe, sorry you're sore, but I hope it's a good sore.

Now is a GREAT time to buy an SLR.
Check Ebay.
We got a Nikon D60 with a bunch of goodies for right around $500. Does everything that I need it to, and then some!

I learned Muy Thai from Alex Gong before he was killed. Believe me when I say that I've never been so sore (or so strong) in all of my life. Stick with it. You'll love the results! =)

Oh yeah, those kick boxing instructors are crazy with the whole "tae bo" thing. And I hate the mirrors everywhere. Look, if I'm trying to improve myself, staring at my current self isn't helping.
Hope it works in letting out your frustrations. I've been doing the same thing. I like to put up a picture of what I want to look like on my computer screen, motivation, and then I put on my music play list for working out. Sometimes that really angry music helps to let it out.

I love Urban Dictionary...here's my favorite definition (I love the example of how to use the word in a sentence):
Haint 91 up, 17 down
Chiefly Southern U.S. var of haunt, originally, but the meaning has since morephed to mean more than a ghost. It can also mean a scary bitch or mean person, usually a woman.
I tried to kill her with kindness, but that haint is just full up with meanness.
