I dropped my cell phone in the toilet at a restaurant last night. That thing was on its way down and I reached in and got it. I had to reach down in the tube to recover it. It wasn't pretty. Well needless to say it doesn't work anymore. Fuckin' technology. Seems like somebody would figure out how to make all electronic stuff water proof by now. So anyway now I gotta go to the cell phone place and tell 'em, "shit, I was just talking on my phone and it went out. I don't know what's wrong." There's a very good chance they'll believe me and I'll get hooked up. If not, oh well. At least I tried.

I played in a tennis tournament yesterday. A friend of mine asked me to play because they needed one more person for the team. I haven't played in like eight years and then was when I used to whoop the Hashikawa boys over at Davison high school. I did get one day of practice a couple weeks ago though. I'll tell you what, tennis is just like riding a bike, you never forget how to do it. I'm not as good as I used to be but I'm still respectable. Too bad all the other teams are people who play tennis a lot. We got our asses whooped. It came down to us and one other team at the end in a fight not to end up in last place. We finally won. But it wasn't a very sweet victory cuz I'm almost positive the other team was made up of one, if not two, retards. Its just not very satisfying beating the mentally challenged.
The tennis courts we're really weird. They were made of some strange substance. I don't know where they get this shit but they use it everywhere in Japan. Like the shit houses are made out of here. The shit isn't made up of any known element found on the periodic table. Maybe its Japanium. Its like a concrete, adobe, grass, plastic, wood, booger, mix or something that some mad scientist cooks up in the lab. They seem to build a lot of shit out of it whatever it is. Its kind a slippery though and to top it off they put sand on it. Why? I don't know. Its Japan. Somebody a long time ago decided that tennis courts need a good sprinkling of sand on 'em to make 'em more slippery therefore more dangerous. cuz it wouldn't be Japan without a complication. I'm sure their first choice was ice but they couldn't keep it from melting in the summer.

I was riding my bike home from the drug store and I ran into a telephone pole. I was doing about 15 mph when I smacked into it. My left shoulder took the brunt of the collision. I don't think I broke anything but my shoulder hurts like hell.
Some lady came up and asked if I was ok. After I told her I was fine all she said was, "Well at least you weren't carrying eggs." I think that's gonna be my new saying from now on. "Well...at least you weren't carrying eggs!" It kinda means "could be worse..."

Why are 99% of long distance runners assholes? They have such a contempt for anybody who can't run a marathon at a 5 minute mile pace.

I've been running twice a week since this summer so I decided to sign up for a 10k run Matsubara City is hosting. I went and ran the course and I was pretty excited that I could do it. I was all stoked about the actual run coming up on the 6th of November. I told this runner guy at the gym and he started giving me some advice on how to go faster and whatnot. It was pretty good advice but I don't think he realizes that I'm not really going for speed I'll just be happy that I can finish it. Well now every time I see him in the gym he has to bust my balls about something. Today he was like, "You have no power in your calves."
Ok, this is a note to all you squirrely little runner fucks. "Just cuz you can run far doesn't mean you are a badass! If you weigh a 110lbs you better be a good runner cuz you are definitely a puss!"
