Damn, I love that icon
I know I've mentioned that there was a kata I wanted to learn so I could move on. Last night during our warm ups, we're told to lay down on the floor to do reverse push-ups. With a reverse push up, you start on the ground, go all the way up, and slowly go back down. These are a bit harder than regular push ups, because they work the complete range of motion. Normally our instructor counts out the push ups as we do them. ONe of the black belts complained that he didn't feel like waiting for him to count them out. He siad he'd rather just be given a number to do. So sensei said, "Okay. Hmmm... If you know the kata Pasai Sho, do fifty reverse push ups. Everyone else do twenty-five." Guess who JUST learned Pasai Sho? That's right. It took me forever, but I got 'em done. And then when were doing things, my arms would just kind of dangle at the elbow. The 'ol triceps were shot! :D
And that mental block I had that got in the way everytime I tried to run a mile? I kicked its ass. I've been doing a pretty good job of keeping up on my running and lifting weights. I think I'm going to up the intensity of my weightlifting to produce better results, though. I did that today, and I'm already feeling it. I've also done a good job of watching what I eat, thanks to the circle on my hand. Today I got Chinese for lunch. I put half of it on a plate and stashed the rest for later. Holy shit, I had no idea there was as much food in those trays as there was. And to think that I would've eaten all that if I hadn't stopped myself. So anyways, go me!
And at 4 today, I'm heading over to TCC, as the Norfolk Naval Shipyard has iformation programs on their apprenticeship programs. Maybe I can get into the program for and Electrics Mechanic. Maybe an electrician. You learn on the job and take classes twice a week, the bills for which they cover as long as you get a C, and once you get out you have kick ass pay and benefits. Can't hurt to look into it.
An interview with Darren I have no idea who the hell he is or why the interviewed him, but fat-pie interviewed him and that's probably the funniest one I saw. Here's what they had to say:

And because I'm a nerd, and this is just funny

- Darren was absolutely wasted in this, his fat-pie debut. He insisted on explaining time after time exactly what drugs he'd been doing since last night and they changed every time. He wasn't quite as intimidating, but he certainly was strange. He probably doesn't even remember doing the interview.
