Yes, I actually searched online afterwards what that injection was, and read about those health concerns, I was like “what the hell”, and became even more irritated :o Worst thing that could happen is that I die in 3-4 months.
Whatever. :rolleyes:
I’m so silly… I forgot I had to pick up my MRI today and went off to the beach… So tomorrow the results…
I’m heading to the track now. 
I can’t believe she injected you without getting some sort of consent or at least explaining it 
Seriously… Andddd I have a bruise… :mad:
August 12th, Tuesday
BEACH:
… Lots of fun.Exhausted…
TRACK:
3 laps warm up
3 x 100m running A’s, walk 100m
walk 300m
Ideally I’d want to do some isos now for stretching purposes as well, but try doing volleys on the sand and diving for that long… 
I just want to read my “Game of Shadows” book… I can’t put it down.
Tough life… :o
yes!
Tough life…
It is 8.30am and I’ve trained already and off to work (an hour later than normal), I will get home about 11pm :eek:
What’s your point? 
My fracture looks healed, yayy. Only there’s still some liquid in there, hence the “bothering”?
Good news!
August 13th, Wednesday.
I’m sore from beach tennis.
I missed the pool hours, working on a book illustration that should be done by the end of this week, with 5 more illustrations to go :eek:
Late in the evening:
Did the elliptical for 40 minutes on our roofgarden, to keep my mom some company while having her coffee… :rolleyes:
Argued with my oldest sister. She’s the only person on earth that I ever argue with. I don’t think she’s very nice with me, and the clinical psychologist middle sister says so too, so I must be right !
Life-wise, I’m really looking forward to ending all these August-tasks of mine… and perhaps moving forward with something excitingly different? Job searching is on a pathetic path right now, and I don’t even know what I want to do with my life, so at the time being, I’m pleasing my parents looking for architecture jobs, unsuccessfully. It’s such a waste, pursuing architecture in this city… nothing is really going on, and probably the first note-worthy creative structure I would design would have to wait until I become 50years old, unless I go to Athens (which is a tad better) or switch countries.
Then I had this inspiration, after chatting with a basketball guy, to go to “coaching school” for a couple of months, in case I decided to form a club in the future, which would be wonderful. But that’s such a short term task, it could happen anytime.
Then there’s a phd application, which God knows what will happen with that, and I won’t know till the close coming of 2009.
Then there’s my pending violin degree which could one day give me a spot in an orchestra, which was just the most amazing feeling I experienced in high school when I was placed in one for the weekend. I know it sounds “lala land”, but … :o
Then I should figure out wheether or not I want to pursue the art industry more in depth, because if I do, then I need to dedicate more of myself into that and perhaps even settle with the idea that I will be broke for the next few months of my life :p, which should not be a standard rule in the first place… so scratch that…
My biggest unsettling feeling is my childhood desire of becoming a professional athlete, but since track seems so highly impossible, I actually have given second thoughts to rowing. There’s water and a club right near me… I’m very athletic, strong hearted, broad shoulders, a made athlete, I seriously think they just need to show me how to technically row the damn thing and I could be competing in worlds… :o Unless there’s “more” to it, then…
I could also keep thinking that something spectacular is going to happen in my life any day now, but my problem is not having a clear spectacular picture of that something, and if I did, perhaps I’d have some chances of it happening. Right now, I’m looking through a fuzzy window towards multi-directional roads, so far only admiring the likelihood of me opening the window and finding me on a path - any path.
For as far as I can remember myself, I always thought there are too many paths in life, and too many that I want to walk on. It’s a hauntingly pshychopathic feeling. I have come to think though that this “path selection” nonsense is only bullshit philosophy of today’s society trying to limit the human brain to solitary tasks, restricting human renaissance development. What happened to the Michelangelo’s and Da Vinci’s? The world has gone b l u n t, and all the bluntfull beings are trying to drag down the rest, with nonsense rules that work only for the unimaginary, unskilled and lazy, when we should really be paddling towards variation and success; the two together are possible, and I’m writing it down for me to absorb.
it was 11.45pm 
Argued with my oldest sister. She’s the only person on earth that I ever argue with. I don’t think she’s very nice with me, and the clinical psychologist middle sister says so too, so I must be right
hhaha John, where did that come from…? That was funny

August 15th, Friday
Short training day, too much painting. 3 more book illustration pages to finish till Monday…pheeeew… .
ISOS:
My eyes hurt.
Going to drink a pitcher of green ice tea now.
Strange strange year, this is… I can’t stand it.
If you do alot of painting and PC work or anything with fixed eye position for long periods of time you might want to restore their flexibility:
Thank you, that is actually kinda helpful !
August 16th, Saturday:
OFF
(I guess this “off” doensn’t come too often, but I must admit: I biked to the pool for a tempo session but it was closed, due to August 15th holiday, blahhh… )
August 17th, Sunday
TRACK:
4 laps jog (felt like crap. I think I was still recovering from that barbeque last night, and my stomach hurt )
10 x 80m striders on grass : much better
5 x 100m running A skips, w/100m walk recoveries
Work:
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah haven’t finished the illustrations yet… looks like I have to stay up late polishing up the last two pages.
a sports painting commission on the other hand is ready to be sent to the U.S.
speaking of art, my Usain Bolt autograph is so OUTDATED now:p … I have to go hunt him again for another signature, with his new WR on… Although I’m pretty sure my coach-connection here can help me send him one to his address and have him return a signed copy to me (he can keep the original this time)
> why is it that we give free stuff to millionairs ?
Books:
I would say the opposite,I’d expect that picture would have appreciated in value
You must be right
August 18th, Monday:

How am I doing? :o
Please understand what a huge task my 15 page book illustration was…
I am done.
Yay for Yelena today, she was very refreshing to watch.
If Bolt runs the final tomorrow and I miss it, I’ll be pissed. I have a meeting to go to…
if you can make freelancing work then do.
