flop small :: Bet Big

I was back in the gym yesterday, weighing in at 177. That’s quite a relief only losing 3 lbs after a week of bullshit flu. And the gym was dead empty except for the asian stripper and another asian gal who always wears the same pink jump suit.

First day back was legs and I kicked ass. Even hacking up some nastiness between reps. After I was done, I was whooped. And ended up crashing at 10:30 last night.

Next year, I’m getting a flu shot. I personally think it’s a total jip I got the flu twice this year. I took the statistical place of some lucky fucker who didn’t get it at all.

This is the second time in a month I’ve been laid out sick. It’s a miracle I’m over 160. Whenever I’m sick, I always think of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

“This is my ninth sick day this semester. It’s getting pretty tough coming up with new illnesses. If I go for ten, I’m probably gonna have to barf up a lung. So, I better make this one count.”

One of many great lines from that movie. And it’s almost a match because I’m damn near barfing up a lung. My wife stepped in and overruled me with that special authority all wives have and I’m going in to the doc at 3. The smart money says I’ll get a prescription for some symptoms and told to drink lots of fluids.

What a great weekend. First off, congratulations to the Giants and those annoying Giants fans. You know who you are. What a great fourth quarter of football that was last night. (more…)
