Today in the mail arrive my long sot after Bike jockstraps. When I started playing racquetball last year, I didn't know how long it would last and low on my list of necessities was a jockstrap. Well.. several weeks ago while playing I was running after a ball in the back court and the ball took a funny bounce in the corner and in the effort to hit the ball, I hit something other than a raquetball and was dropped right down. Yeah it was funny. Ha Ha. So I decided the time had finally come to purchase an 'athletic supporter'.

I didn't think it was going to be a big deal. I wanted the "Bike" brand because in the past I have found them to work the best for me. So off I go to Sports Authority. They had exactly what I was looking for, Bike athletic supports "2 pack" for $9. Great! I thought. only one problem... Something was missing, They didn't have any XXL. (and no, I don't need the size for anything other than I'm fat.) So off I went to Target, no Bike brand and no XXL. Ok, let's try Walmart, they had XXL but it was a 'Duke' $5 for one. So I picked it up. The size range for XXL was 38" to 44". Kind of a stretch if you get my drift. Not comfortable and cheap! Well off to Dave's Sporting Goods. Dave's is an institution here. Hey if anyplace is going to have what I need, it's going to be Dave's. Well... No Bike, they did have XXL, but I don't remember the brand. $9 for 1! Same result. Not comfortable. Rough and course. So I turned to the Internet. The Internet is a great place to shop. It's just those darn shipping charges! After looking around I found a place - freshpair. Here they had everything I was looking for. Bike supporters, XXL and free shipping!
$14 for a 2 pack. So I bought 2 packs. Tomorrow I get to try them out at my first Kettlebell class! You wouldn't think it would be this hard to find a XXL jockstrap.

SOS part 2, Intervention

...I did my resolutions and I have my goals.

BUT, I've been waiting for yours.

Apparently, it's time for a little intervention.

I know your a lefty, so I'll try to appeal to your right brain. We've discussed your resolutions and the reason why you haven't blogged them. What I heard was:

"I don't like to write."

OK, You're the one that suggested this blog. You're the one that wanted resolutions. Time to get with it pal.

Step up to the plate. You'll never hit one out of the park if you never take a swing.

Every body misses the mark sometimes.

Be your own person. Don't follow the crowd...

Have some self-discipline. Don't be a pig.

You are not a loser.....

Unless you want to be.

Your friends are behind you...

and there’s a reason for that...Just kidding!!

But, you do have the choice to be a Slowsky.

or a Mutant.

So, pull yourself off that couch...

Get moving...

Start working on your knee exercises, your dead lifts, and your resolutions.

No more lame excuses.

Seriously. I'm behind you 100%. But I can't do it for you.

You need to establish your own vision.

Proverbs 29:18 (King James Version) Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

God Bless and have a great 2008!
