Don't forget my 42lbs. bag of cat sand!

I'm so busted! I have all the practice equipment I need (except caber) and have been doing some throwing. Problem is, I suck. Suck suck. It's clear I need to focus more on power lifting than my usual vanity crap. I want to go out next season confident that I'm not taking the place of some dude who actually put in the time--I want it to be clear that I'm taking the events seriously, that I'm not a mini muscle head who thinks he can just step on the field and throw.


I promise I'll be competing next summer. (Cringe) If not, I'll present myself to you for some soul-crushing ridicule.

In the early stages of my info gathering, I happened across a video of a certain heavy giving a clinic on stone. You were with a young lady (Bethany?). Fun to see you in action.

Gird thy loins, man, show up and take the plunge. You're not taking a slot away from anybody. You can do it.

Oh, for the love of...

Argh. We're going up anyway...hang tight. And stop talking about my loins.

So are we to expect pictures of your girded courage next week?

No, only of my shame-faced cowardice (coward ***?) There are other factors involved with this weekend other than my wilted loins, unfortunately. More than willing to go embarass myself, but my potential change of plans didn't sit well at home. I think there are birthday shennanigans planned for me...How about some of you other X throwers compete at Estes with me next year?

"Next year"...do I sound like a Cubs fan, or what? I just know that I'll have to make good on it or I won't be able to show my face around these here parts--been talking it up too much to back down. A good incentive.

I forsee an EPIC photo thread. Oh, wait.....next year. Now, I do understand the issue with these last minute changes, and so in light of that, I offer up this peace offering......

OK. FINE!!!!

now, back to your loins....
