One Hundred Pushups

I hate Melissa Maples. No, really. She decided to do the Hundred Pushups challenge and, not wanting to be beaten by another Melissa(h), I said ‘eff that! Sign me up.’

Ow. Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. I did six whole real push-ups, the ones from my feet, thank you, and literally collapsed on the seventh. Curiously, I didn’t find it particularly stressful until my body gave out under me as I was attempting number seven and I collapsed on the floor. On one hand, I know I’m pathetic. On the other hand, hell yes! Rank 2! From my feet! Eat that, everyone-in-the-world!

I can feel the ouchies coming on, even though it’s only been 10 minutes after I completed my initial test. I would have liked to have started the challenge tomorrow, but we’ll see how it goes. I have a feeling I’ll be complaining instead of exercising.

My sweet buddy, Luke, is doing this with me because he’s awesome. It’ll be fun to see if he and I can do a hundred push-ups after the six weeks is up.

R.I.P. Madge Allsop

Emily Perry has died at the ripe old age of 100. Emily was best known for her role as Dame Edna Everage’s sidekick Madge Allsop. It’s such a shame. As foils go, she was top shelf. I like to think of Madge as the original Silent Bob, only she wasn’t some chubby dude, and she didn’t like Star Wars, and she was actually silent.

Chasing Dreams. Dashing Them.

I’ve been known to brag that I am inhuman in certain aspects, unbound by the desires and limitations of man and unmoved by the things that move us. Of course, it’s complete bullshit, but you know what drugs are like. But the thing is, if I squint my eyes hard enough, and if the light is just right, I can almost see where I am coming from.
