don't wanna...

getting a little late start today. i need to shower and eat before i go play v-ball at the park. my friends said they'd be there around one o'clock. looks like i've got 35 minutes...and since i need to make a carefully crafted blog, it looks like i'll be late. still, i must blog...it'll make my day better. yeah

glad that the weather has cooled some and we got some needed rain. however, a weather change is also signaled in my body. i have a weather barometer in my shoulder and knee joints...they came along free with 12 years of soccer...16 years of volleyball...ten years of kneeling and carrying buckets in field...and 19 years of waiting tables. so whenever the weather is about to change, especially the humidity, my joints will tell me a day before because it feels like someone has taken a probe ('bout the size of a pencil) and is jabbing it in my joints. i'm sure that many of you can relate to having body parts that are twice as old as your age :P

before i go, i wanted to pimp a charity walk and run that will be happening August 24th. it's called Race 4 Research. the proceeds go to the University of Colorado Cancer Center. this is the seventh year of the event. it was started while a young mother, Michele Plachy-Rubin, was battling brain cancer in 1997. woefully, she succumbed to the cancer in May 1998, leaving behind her husband, Mark, and an adorable son, Max.

i'm pimping the site because i went to high school with both Michele and her husband. in fact, i even attended elementary with her husband. i'm just asking that you go to the site and check it out. you don't have to sponsor, donate, or even walk/run. i just think it's a worthy cause; promoting things is all about educating the masses. just ask the infomercials...

well, i've got 25 minutes now...maybe i should avoid those UV rays and just sit here...reading blogs and harassing the crap out of people. something else to ponder...
