Monkeys in Action

I have been MIA for the last two weeks because of my studies and it has made many of my activities suffer from lack of practice. My overall view on this is, I am paying to go to get an education not to participate in school activities so I am glad to see my money is being put to use. The narrow view I have on it is, I can’t wait for finals so I can spend less time in classes and writing papers! I’ve become very lax in my parkour training, which shows itself especially in my overall sense of self. The key to parkour is flow, connecting with your environment, feeling your energy move over, under, and around obstacles. I have been able to continue going to the gym and am really happy about the recent muscle growth spurts but my cardio has undoubtedly suffered because treadmills are for guinea pigs and ellipticals are nothing more than a wannabe gundam cockpit.

A few days ago I won wireless headphones from the school’s food site. I never pay to enter contests, so I was pleasantly surprised to see my meal ticket(literally) earned me something as sweet as those bad boys. It goes without saying, I will be dreaming of them for the 6-8 weeks before I receive them. I have four tests next week along with the objective of completing my research paper on Hobbes. It looks like I am going to have a lively few days ahead of me.

Thoughts of the Day:

Isn’t it ironic you can have muscles so big they can’t lift themselves?

How exactly can time be found or lost if it is a construct of the mind?

What is the price of fulfillment?
