lol i m going to post.
Today i was hanging out with Abe at memorial park and we rocked some hacky sack, and some frisbee. We then decided that as a project awesome (to be discussed) action, we would dig a hole from which we would repeatedly jump out of to increase our ups. I read about this idea in a martial arts book in BNN a few years ago, and it said you just have to dig a hole and jump out of it alot, then dig it deeper when you can handle it, and also add ankle weights to make it harder. I had brought up the idea a few times in the past but never really had a reason to do it. Abe and I were trying to jump onto the new benches at memorial park, and onto the waterfountain when we realized that the highest we could jump without a run was basically up to our belly buttons. We were sad.
About project awesome: Abe wants to do something totally awesome every week this summer. We hope to swim across the Hudson River as one of these events. This jumping out of a hole thing is really going to take longer than a week to get us strong enough and able enough to be able to jump much higher, so this is like... an extended project awesome attempt.
More pictures of the project.

More on this... and other project awesome later.. Btw, Abe's considering setting up a blog for project awesome... if you choose to leave a reply, please include whether or not you'd read a blog on project awesome.
