pain

kind of ironic, but when i'm home i live in a lot of pain :) mostly 'cause i'm so active, i'll go surfing, slice my foot, burn a nipple, get skin cancer, and my muscles get tight.

go play ultimate, get a blister, get bit by red ants, lay out (i somehow scraped almost the back of my knee...so weird), my legs get tight, my back hurts a little.

i stink.

go hiking, scrape my legs up, maybe sprain an ankle once in a while, blisters? not much. legs hurt, gludious maximus aches....

these past four days have been nothing short of BRUTAL, but lots of fun. tuestay, as i blogged, i went to work all day, as usual, and then went to Irm'as, (as blogged before). two days ago (wednesday) i worked all day, as usual, and after dropping my dad off at home i went surfing at half point, near sandy's. that was much better than irma's, but i did the one stupid thing i could've to make it dangerous (as blogged on wednesday); and yesterday (thursday) i worked all day, as usual, but ended up moving and carrying shit ALL DAY. i was really tired....but i went to play ultimate afterwards anyway. my dad dropped me off at the park, i played, hung out at the mall for an hour and my mom came across the wai`anae range to pick me up afterwards. MAN was i dead. i delved into my hold habits of redbull and sugar (sweet tarts this time) and it actually helps a lot with my stamina, but my muscles just aren't in shape. surfing doesn't do much for your legs, i shoudl run periodically. lots of fun nonethless.

and finally today (friday), worked all day, as usual....bit lighter than usual though, that was nice. lotsa tagging and just separating stuff...not too straining. afterwards, though, i drove my dad to a convenient bus stop that would get him home in les than an hour and went to the beach (waikiki). it was really slow, but there were some pretty nice sets coming through. kind of a creepy thing, but once the sun goes down (like...the MOMENT), almost every time i've been out there a few nice sets come through. it's one reason i always end up staying really late...i can't figure out why it happens...i wouldn't think the sun's heat would have THAT much influence on the waves...wind, maybe, but not the waves. *shrugs*
today was no different, as the sun set, two big sets came through. on a weird wave i took off on, i got a splash of water straight to the eye and it knocked off my left contact (i'm right-eye dominant)....that's NEVER happened before in the water, and i've been swimming with my contacts for four years. but yeah, there's almost a full moon and it was dark enough that the moon was illuminating the water, and i was at waikiki so the city lights also helped....but with one contact i had NO depth perception, especially in the dark, and i could barely tell how far and how big and when a wave was breaking....so i finally gave up and came in. i was planning on staying out there into the night 'till i froze....but that would've been extremely dangerous, for me and the others surfing, *sigh*. could'a been sweet.

afterwards i went and met up with my friend moani as she was finishing work. we hung out at ala moana for about an hour just chillin' and talking. it was nice to see her. i finally broke down and CALLED someone and the two of us ended up setting up a bit of a party tomorrow night for a bunch of us old friends. it seems i do indeed have friends.

all in all, a very good week. got my paycheck yesterday too, but didn't wanna deposit it 'cause i thought i might spend it :) smart ah?
