There are some companies I’ve pledged to never do business again, and then they’ll buy the competitor I’m doing business, so I’ll switch to another competitor, and then they’ll eventually buy that business and then I’m stuck eating humble pie.
Yesterday in Alpine, TX, a 14-year-old female freshman student shot and injured another female student before turning the gun on herself. There was a time in which that would lead the local news and make the national news. But yesterday, I didn’t see it land in one of the top local stories or even mentioned on the national news. The world has changed.
I just discovered the cossack squat and thought I’d try to add it to my workout. In researching the move, I came across this GIF of a very fit woman totally killing the move with two heavy kettlebells. Color me impressed.
GIF – College in a nutshell – I’m thinking with camera phones, this doesn’t happen as much as it used to.
The instructor has his board erasing technique down, always erasing up and down, not side to side. If you do it side to side, your booty will shake and wave back and forth. At least that was a tip a friend who teaches high school told me.
He was pretty adamant he did no wrong, but last week he signed with super agent Jimmy Sexton. I’m thinking he’s so desperate to work again, he was “forced” by Sexton to apologize to repair his image.
I’m surprised that Baylor was able to open the season without a single sanction or penalty from either the Big XII or the NCAA. Granted, my knowledge when it comes to what they and the legal system can do within any time frame is very limited, but it seems like something would have been done before the start of the season.
I was attending a Baptist church when the Dave Bliss Baylor University scandal hit. The topic reared its head during Sunday school, and one grandmother, an alum, said he was just one bad apple. I responded by saying I fear the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and she gave me a death stare. I’m not sure if she’s still alive, but 15-years later, I’m sadly right. I used to wear Baylor gear, but they were thrown out around that time, my loyalties have moral limitations.
The Atlantic – Sex Ed Without the Sex – In West Texas, a Christian pregnancy center has grown increasingly involved in reproductive life—including teaching sex ed in public schools.
West Texas in this case, is Midland.
One paragraph mentions Joshua Harris’ book I Kissed Dating Goodbye. Man, that book was super popular during my last two years in college. I admit, I was a fan and succumbed to his suggestion of not going on “single dates” (one boy, one girl) but “group dates” (several boys and girls, no alone time). However, my last “group date” crashed and burned, and during that date, I met a girl and asked if she would like to go out with me the next night, just me and her. We were engaged seven months later. And now I refer to that girl as “WifeGeeding” on this here blog.
An inability to identify people by their voices is a poorly understood deficit called phonagnosia ― a term coming from “phone,” meaning “voice” in Ancient Greek, and “agnosia,” meaning a “loss of knowledge.” And the condition might be much more prevalent than we thought, according to a new study published in the August issue of Brain and Language.
The squat exercise that girl is doing looks like a great way to blow out a knee.
My first thought, too. With any exercise like that, they always tell you to keep your knee over your heel. Going beyond that can cause damage
