Well there are many things in this world that can make people smile. I thought I would make a list of random thoughts that make me smile, just because.
Just wanted to give my 2¢ about a site that I have been using for the past couple of weeks, www.twitter.com . The odd thing is I have known about this site since its inception, but never thought it would appeal to me. Twitter is a micro blog that only allows the user to post short blast blog post up to 140 characters. This might sound kinda dumb because what can you really say in 140 characters or less? Well I will tell, if you are like me, once you try it you will be hooked. It is a simple concept type a short description of how you are feeling or what you are doing and share it with all you friends. Once you get an account you can choose to “Follow” people and see their Twitts (term for Twitter post) or just invite your friends to follow you. There are all types of people on Twitter even Tallahassee.com very own MMarts (www.twitter.com/mmarts ) If you are like me, you can access Twitter through your cell phones mobile web browser and update your account almost any where in the country. The odd thing is just typing this up does not give Twitter any justice. You really need to try it out for your self. If you want to see what I am doing you can follow me at www.twitter.com/verticalgambit .
Well I have not been doing a good job with writing in my blog. I will say that I have a couple things to talk about.
Soccer: Well I have joined a soccer team, “The 1987 Field Day Champions”.
This is was something that is kind of a surprise to me. I had been playing a lot of beach volleyball, but wanted to add something else to get me more exercise. After volleyball one day I decided to go play soccer with some people from church. I went out to the Lincoln High school soccer fields and kicked the ball around. Now I will be the first to admit that I am terrible at soccer. I have always been some what clumsy with my feet and soccer, I believe, will expose your flaws more than any other sport in that area. Luckily, what little athletic talent I have and a whole lot of hustle allowed me to keep up with the others on the field. After we were done they asked me if I wanted to play on their team. I told them I would have to ask the wife. After talking with her she allowed me to play. I signed up with TSA (Tallahassee Soccer Association) and registered for the Spring Coed League. We have currently played two games and have lost both, but it is very fun. I play the “Stopper” position. I have not idea what that actually means, but I am around the mid field chasing the ball a lot.
Health: Well I have been some what healthy. I have been able to play a lot of sports, but paying the price afterwards. I have been having a big issue with my ankles (as usual). They just can not hold up to all the banging around I have been putting them through. Recently after one of my soccer games I my foot swelled up on me. It was very weird. My ankles seem to be ok but the middle arch of my foot is bruised. I have not been able to run because it hurts to bad. I have been on my bike recently and that is kinda cool. I am not a bike person, but it does help with getting some exercise and not putting all my weight on my ankles. I hope that I can lose some weight a really start being able to get in some good workouts.
