Tuesday

I woke up and went to the gym. I walked 3 miles. I listened to the strokes and the misfits. It was a good character building experience. I need to get used to the cold. I will be out in it when Skc kicks Houston's butt in the conference finals. I have my mind on the KU vs. Duke game tonight. Andrew Wiggins is going to score 20. That is my bold prediction.

Monday

I was able to walk this morning. There was something crazy going on in Lenexa yesterday night. Lots of sirens. I tried to get online to the police scanner but fell back asleep. Duke vs. KU tomorrow. Going to be a barn burner.

Vulcan or terminator....or rare outlier

On Bill Simmons podcast he talks about two times of championship athletes. Terminator...a person who is a butthole jerk who steps on the throats of the opposing team. Sometimes even their own team mates. Or a Vulcan which is a person who has no feelings and is very robotic. Since tennis is one of the most mental games there is it is fun to try to put tennis champions in either category. Sometimes there is the outlier of a person so gifted they are just nice guys who still are able to crush people...like Lebron James. I will start the blog off with Terminators in tennis

Jimmy Connors
John McEnroe
Rafael Nadal
Jokivitch.

Terminators in basketball

Michael Jordan
Reggie Miller
Kobe Bryant
Shaq
The entire 80's pistons.

Saturday night

Saturday consisted of me going to 24 hour fitness. I put in about 4 miles on the treadmill. I didn't feel great about it or anything. That leads me to believe the fact that in fat peoples minds there is no correlation between hard work on the treadmill or working out and a good positive feeling. I worked out pretty hard and I felt a meh sensation. I do have a small feeling of "Hey duke!" great job! Not as much as I would hope for. I think if I was to teach a class about working out I would really have people think about what makes them feel good about working out. Health, productivity, doing two things at once. Sometimes I watch basketball while I walk on the treadmill. That is being productive. The end game here is anchoring good feelings with positive habits. I eat well I make sure I give myself credit for eating well. I work out. I make sure I give myself credit for working out.


Saturday was a tie for Sporting KC. This is good. They needed to tread water until they come home and get rested. One game away from playing in the MLS Cup. It is a step in the right direction and I think they can get to the cup. Then if they get there they will have home field. Clean sheet and a shutout means credit to Nielsen-Besler-Collin.


Penguins lost to Blues yesterday and there was awkward moments at black dog.

Better SKC matchup.

This week had a bit of ups and downs. I am looking for a new place since I can't stay under budget at my own place. So I have been working on that. I have been working on work, and working on watching Sporting KC go after the cup. On Wednesday I went to work then met up with Raymond then it was time for hot soccer action. I was meeting my friend Matt at the stadium and he was taking his girlfriend. I was worried because girlfriends and cold weather go together like girlfriends and bad weather. So we watched the game and it was intense. Uri Rossel had a big game as well as everyone else. The play of the the game goes to Seth Sinovic. New England took out Umbango who is a stud striker for their team. He goes off the pitch and SKC scores. That means New England was screwed the rest of the game going forward on offense. Jimmy Nielsen had a big save towards the end and Benny Feilhaber came up with a key interception and pass to Taca Bieler who poked the ball home from 15 feet out for the SKC win. It was a wild night to say the least. Besler and Collin also had huge game. Colin had the first goal to really open up the game. A shout out to Sporting KC's fans the cauldron. They had a sign that said "We are out to get you" it had pac-man on it. IT was awesome. Also my friend Matt brought a huge "Beef on Bun" in which is the meat sandwhich from Arther Bryants. That sandwhich is off the chain. This weekend SKC plays Houston (again) Mizzou plays Kentucky in football..the chiefs are on a bye week.

Friday

Wednesday was the Sporting KC playoff game. It was an epic win. Loud crowd and decent weather. They have a shot at the cup if they don't play like ass pony's against Houston.


Wiggins hasn't shown much at KU yet. Ducks fall to Stanford. 76ers are the surprise of the NBA. Chiefs are perfect and Christmas is almost here. Hallelujah and pass the tylonal.

Weekend

Friday I spoke at an AA meeting sharing my story. It went well. It was my third year of doing this, so I was used to the whole thing. Felt good to get used to speaking in front of people. Saturday I went to watch Mo West lose. My mom had her gal bladder taking out so it was nice to see her. She was in good spirits just a bit sick. I drove back and watched Sporting KC lose. The defense wasn't good and the offense wasn't good. It could be the final game of the season on Wednesday. The whole season has been "Meh" but I had fun non the less. The Chiefs won. They are getting lucky breaks but taken advantage of them.
