i tried yesterday to rally some of my staff for an afternoon volleyball game down by the lincoln memorial where they have the sand courts, but apparently, my reputation as a hardcore volleyball player-asshole doth precede me. so out of 15 or so employees, about five show up, which was fine cause really you only need four for a little two on two action.

and so we headed on down and warmed up a bit and then decided to play a match. we noticed however that two of us (and i’m not naming names, but obviously one is me) were slightly far better than the other two and well, that would be just unfair, so we split up and i played with _______ who only slightly resembled a pokemon character everytime he hit the ball, shouting, i’m assuming “PI-KA!”. or something. i had no game plan with ________ other than just get the ball back over the net and hope the other team fucks up. which they did, and we won. i mean, i do enjoy doing the whole bump, set, spike progression on my side of the court, but when you know that your teammate has limited skills, one must resort back to the elementary school style of play and have getting back over the net as your main goal.

so then, once ________ showed up and made it three on two, he showed some skill, so i joined back with the other quality player and put _______ back over on the other side with ______ and ________–who were doing better now that we’ve played a while. sometimes it’s like riding a bike, you just gotta find your balance.

and my team won again of course. although to their credit, it was a competitive game.

i went to the gym today and i decided to shake up my routine by doing all body parts in the opposite order because i read somewhere that it’s better to do your heavy lifting (chest, for instance) early in the week since your muscles will not be as worn out than if you do them at the end of the week which is what i’ve been doing. and i could do ten lbs more on each side of the barbell on each chest exercise.

what i’ve been grooving to at the gym:

i’m assuming this one isn’t getting a lot of airplay because beyonce threatened to kill a bitch if radio played it and michelle just be too scared to fight back.
