I heard a man in Texas use "damniting" as a verb

[vicarz]

Damnit. Just recovered enough to try deadlifts again, and despite all my concentration I fucked up my back again. Damnit damnit damnit. Drove the heels in the floor, pushed from the hip, lowered the butt to the floor, kept the bar right on my shins, tried not to jerk, head up eyes front, back straight...still. At least I had the sense to stop when I felt it, waited a second, and not to go on. On the upside, I did leg press 540 10 times. I'm not badly hurt, but I'm really going to have to back up and go slow on the deadlifts. So pissed. Other weights are plateauing as well.

Talked to Jen in Murky today - that was weird. Also sat there for a good 4 hours working on this week's arbitration hearings. Work has gone from being the giant good thing in my life to the giant ball of mental suck - I don't mind the work, but the politics are out of control.

I think I'm the middle-east I hate. I get frustrated with conflict and just want to beat the shit out of everyone, if I can't beat them then shoot, if I can't do that then just blow everyone the fuck up. Now, I know better and I see the problems with that "strategy," but it's still how I feel. Yeah, I have a negative side. If you don't like it, I have other qualities, but I'm damn well worth putting up with my anger, rants, and attitude. Hell anyone with half a brain will appreciate the humor with which the vitriol is delivered.

I tried to iron today. I failed.

I bought those bizarre doc martens. I like them because they're so comfy, but honestly it makes me look like I got mugged by the amish and forced to wear their hand-me-downs. Have you noticed all fashion shoes are ugly? Crocs, docs, uggs, flip-flops, and my amish flat-tipped rejected homeless footwear. Perhaps it's all based on "With a shoe this ugly, my feet will look less ugly by comparison."

Texas scares me. Sorry I missed you at spellbound_dc last night.

I'm all about Doc Martens. I agree with you, however, on UGGS, Crocs and flip flops.

Also, for the public record: you are weird.

work = super suckage

Take it easy on your back. If you keep pushing it, you might not have one tomorrow to use. Take your time. Let it heal. It will suck, but it will still work like it is supposed to work.

VITRIOL - what a fantastic word.....thanks.

You inspired me to buy shoes yesterday. They are utterly timeless, obnoxious, and very cute. They even have a bow. GACK!

Crocs and flipflops are the opposite of fashion shoes. They're designed for comfort and ease of use. Coming in a jillion equally hideous colors and prints doesn't make them any more fashionable than those nurse's scrubs with chilli peppers or balloons all over them.

I think Docs and Uggs were intially designed for practicality too, becoming popular because they were cheap. Then they took on a sort of cult status and became a fashion symbol, same with Chucks and Timberlands.
