So, the last few weeks have been a bit of a kick in the groin for me. Not only have I suffered sickness due to an evil footlong but I've also been struggling with my groin strain and lack of drugs. I actually hurt my groin because someone asked me to jump for them and I wasn't warmed up at all. As soon as I did it I felt it go. Right now though the groin is starting to feel like it's coming good, but it's only me pushing it a little bit too hard and I'm back to struggling to walk/move/sleep. Hopefully it'll stay good for a long long time. As for the drugs, after suffering from the poisoning (curse you Subway! Trying to crush my dreams like that) I haven't been taking the drugs (by drugs I mean vitamins and supplements, not steroids or anything like that) I should be and I sort of lost my routine and have been struggling to get back to the gym. I've still been eating well, I just haven't been able to work on my fitness. This is quite a big set back because not only do I have to make up for the 2 weeks of holiday I have to make up for 2 weeks of sickness/injury. Did I mention that the Celtics are the NBA champs of 2008? Yeah, I thought I did but it was worth mentioning again.
Last night I was at Aidan's girlies b'day drinks thing and our friend Clay said I was a bit of a hero. The way he said it though was the best and I quote "Kev, it's great what you're doing. I know how hard it is for a skinny nerdy white guy to do something like that in this city". In answer to that I'm going to say I'm not skinny... scrawny would have been a better way of wording it. :P
Now it is time for my groin to toughen up and for me to get back into the painfree workout saddle!

Gastro-nomical
Greetings!
I'm back and fighting fit. First off the trip was awesome. Unfortunately I can't remember what happened on the trip because I was pretty much drunk the whole time. This may have had an effect on me when I got back to Perth because I got sick pretty much straight away when I didn't have alcohol in my system... Well, that's what I thought happened but it actually turned out to be food poisoning (i think). See, I had some Subway on Tuesday and started feeling pretty seedy after consuming the first half of it. I actually stopped eating the footlong after the first 6 inches and for anyone that's seen me eat would know 6 inches just isn't enough for me, I really need a footlong to satisfy me. Anyway, I put the rest of the sub in the fridge. That night I really started feeling it and for the next 3 days I was destroying the toilet. Not only that it took me 2 days to get back onto solids so come Friday I was mighty hungry. Now what should there be to eat? That's right the sub. That was possibly one of the stupidest things I ever done eating the rest of that sub. I spent the next 48 hours destroying the toilet again!
Just a quick thing on travelling on Friday 13th... Don't do it. I told my housemate, who was giving me a lift to the airport that I needed to be there by 7am to catch my 7:35 flight. We left home at 6:50 which is plenty time to get to the airport from where we live. This is if you go straight to the airport. Kate asked if it would be okay if we mailed some letters on the way, I knew we'd be pushing it, but I said okay because she was nice enough to give me a lift and I didn't want to be an asshole. That was my first mistake. I got to the airport at about 7:02 which ment that baggage had closed (by 2 minutes) so I had the choice of getting a later flight or dumping almost all of my luggage and packing as much as I could into my backpack and catching that flight. I decided to catch the later flight. This of course ment waiting around at the airport.... for 6 hours! Do you know what there is to do at the airport for 6 hours? Nothing, absolutely nothing... except jump on the computers they have there that are hooked up to the internet. I thought this would be an awesome idea, I could watch the Celtics vs Lakers game 4. There was my second mistake. When I logged on the Celtics were losing by about 100 points (it was only about 25 but it pretty much felt like 100 to me). What a great day I was having. I have to wait for a plane and the C's have lost game 4 by the second quarter. My plane then gets delayed by a hour and half. Yay, where's a razor when you need one to go cut some wrists? Not in the airport, you can't have anything metal in the airport especially something like a razor (insert emo smiley here). Then amazing happens (<---www.NBA.com joke), I log onto the net to see the final minutes/scores of the C's beating and they're not getting beaten! They're winning! All I can say is "take that Kobi you bitch!". After the C's close out the game I don't care about anything bad that happened to me that day. Kobi and the bitches have a cry and in the post game he talks about how he's going to go get drunk to drown his sorrows. Nice one, let's tell kids how if things don't go your way and you throw away your best chance the way to get over it is by getting drunk. Come on, let them work it out for themselves Kobi. How bout you tell these same kids that look up to you that the best way to shut someone up who's accusing you of rape is to give them a huge amount of cash? Given he lost the NBA finals I'm going to stop picking on him and I do know it's Kobe but the word 'bitch' starts with 'bi' so I feel that spelling it Kobi is just more appropriate.
Enough ranting from me. It's good to be back and I'll have to get back into the gym this week. Catch ya'll soon.
