Sin City and Pulled Ham String
Saw Jessica Alba last night. Liked her, but didn’t like the movie as much. Maybe I had too much expectations. Besides, I have always liked her.
My friend Yen is in town yesterday on their way to a wedding in Auburn. (2 hours from Tahoe). She is with her fiance, and for some reason, I guess she is just getting the mom to realize that, she is probable going to walk out of the nest and spread her own wings soon. Her mother is one of the "Superwoman", that we man used to speak of with a hint of fear and alot of respect. Definitely Feeling and Judging, and definitely intuitive with massive experience. Strong personalities, you have to love them, and sometimes you just have to get from underneath them.
Went to Palo Alto to play touch football today. Good turn out of Chinese Americans and a Indian dude exhibiting leadership qualities. Within 7 minutes of running around (more like jogging around), I felt one strand of my hamspring snap, as I made a critical cut to take someone down. (This is not even as dramatic as it sounds), and immediately after, had problems walking or standing.
It was the first time, a sign of age has crepted into my life. I had always assumed forgetfulness, and the tendency to rationalize everything to be just a sign of sophistication overload, but today, I am pretty sure, it crystalized in my mind that I am JUST getting older.
Sure I could have used more warm up, but for f*ck sake, we weren’t even running that fast.
I ended up just walking around the park. (Incidently, it was big, green with big blue sky, and it was nice) But, just "walking’ around the park, give me another empathetic flash. I had always sort of looked down on elder folks taking leisure walks, but today, not only did I understand, I walked, without feeling the urging of impateince embedded in all young males.
There goes the idea of doing 2 hours a day of working out. I will probable have to switch to long walks, and full weight lefting. That hamstring is getting it’s 7 days of rest. F**k.
Funny thing, I had always been someone who says as a response to understanding someone else’s direction, comment or point: I hear you, before saying, I see it, and before saying I feel you. Just a little while ago, I couldn’t figure out the word sake, because my brain intepreted as SAKE the rice drink. I guess, this confirms that I am more of a audio person when it comes to instructions, and less of a language visual person when it comes to inflections, however, it explains perfectly that my thoughts are no longer being formed in "abc" as internal monologue. I just don’t have much of a affinity for "words".
Good thing, I never became a lawyer, but wouldn’t it be great that I spend more time writting? Doing what you are weak in, definitely brings more balance into our lifes. But then, I guess that is what I am doing now. Writing much about nothing.
