Not being very manly.

Thanks to my sister, I have an abundance of iPods. She got an iPod from freeipods.com about a month after I gave up on the site and and just got a couple people to pitch in to buy her a damn iPod mini. Then when I helped her buy a MacBook, she got a free iPod Nano that she didn’t want and so I got that one, too. I have the mini in my car and the Nano is what I use at work to drown out the loud typer in the next cube. They both have similar playlists full of dance music and silly pop and that backfired today when I had to listen to Maroon 5 twice in one day, once in at my desk and once in my car. I’m not sure what I did to deserve that (besides buying two copies of the Maroon 5 CD back in the day).

I’m still recovering from Saturday night and I thought I was going to fall asleep on the way to work. Of course I went to the gym, and I think tonight is the closest I got to getting ill. I’m just pooped. Of course, instead of going to sleep early, I’m watching Pet Shop Boys videos on YouTube.

I’m not sure if I’m getting any man points for my actions today.

Oh, and I now have a goal at the gym, something I haven’t had in the 10 years I’ve been told to have one. I didn’t have one when I was running with Team Oregon and I never had one when I was working out with Dave the Trainer. So here it is: the ability to lift, at least for one fraction of a round, the weights listed on the named Crossfit workouts. And to do at least one muscle up. This is going to take a while, which is a good thing because it took me 10 years to come up with a goal and I don’t want to have to come up with another one too soon.

And I better hit the hay because now I’m hitting the YMO videos and that seriously takes me back down memory lane.
