Thread: just one of those days....

  1. #1

    just one of those days....

    Ever have one of those days where nothing goes right? And i'm talking training in things that you've done for years and years and are second nature to you, and yet, it's just one of those days where you can't seem to block a simple punch telegraphed from ten miles away, or get a simple lock on a skinny guy no matter how you do it, and get all sorts of timing errors where you just walk into kicks and trip over your own stances? Sheesh...Sigh.....
    ...don't think you are, know you are...

    I hate those days, it usually coincides with me being worn out. I can't hold my stances, fall during my forms, can't hit the broad side of a big fat guy who can't move out of the way....

    I've been having those a lot lately.....My really good days seem a couple of weeks apart. New baby, no sleep, training time cut in half, just turned 31.....it's starting to add up.

    I turn 31 in June, but I have to be honest, I feel probably younger then I have in a long time. I still have those days falcor was talking about, but I seem to remember having those days way back in cross country, track and karate in high school. Usually it's just my body telling me I need a break.

    it normally only takes me a day of active resting to get back into it. Sometimes those days also tend to signify a cold or other sickness for me as well. The last day I had like that I got sick and missed about 4 days of work!

    We all know you only swing your bat between 60% and 90% power, Red5. You got nothing.

    The Worst Day Since Yesterday

    Well I know, I miss more than hit
    With a face that was launched to sink
    An' I seldom feel, the bright relief
    It's been the Worst Day Since Yesterday

    If there's one thing I have said
    Is that the dreams I once had, now lay in bed
    As the four winds blow, my wits through the door
    It's been the Worst Day Since Yesterday

    Fallin' down to you sweet ground
    Where the flowers they bloom
    It's there I'll be found
    Hurry back to me, my wild calling
    It's been the Worst Day Since Yesterday

    Though these wounds have seen no wars
    Except for the scars I have ignored
    And this endless crutch, well it's never enough
    It's been the Worst Day Since Yesterday

    He|l says hello, well it's time to I should go
    To pastures green, that I've yet to see
    Hurry back to me, my wild calling
    It's been the Worst Day Since Yesterday
    What would happen if a year-old baby fell from a fourth-floor window onto the head of a burly truck driver, standing on the sidewalk?
    It's practically certain that the truckman would be knocked unconscious. He might die of brain concussion or a broken neck.
    Even an innocent little baby can become a dangerous missile WHEN ITS BODY-WEIGHT IS SET INTO FAST MOTION.
