What’s Left, After The Blue Moon?

There was just a small sliver left in the sky yesterday morning as I rode my bike back from the gym. Yea, I’m back at the gym, christ I’m sore, its my own fault! No New Year Resolution here, I know better, no, I mean, I KNOW BETTER, I need to be doing this ALL THE TIME! Since I started posting on my site, I’ve let this slide, I’m really paying for it now, Christ, I’m sore! Well we sent the screaming monkey, flying south, across the train cafe at midnight, january 1, 2010 , I think this was symbolic, just as the preceding decade went south. (by south I mean, out of here) Like I said, there were nine of us, we had our drunk Marine, a good natured kid, on his way to Penelton, deploying to Afghanistan within the week, can’t help but to wonder, how this boy would change. The Conductor was giving him a pass, he seemed the only one, on our train appearing drunk. I’ll get back to our little party on the train later, right now, let me climb back up on this box, it might take me a minute, I’m a little stiff right now, all right, here we go! Now, I’m about sixteen days away, from creating me a habit, not a new habit, just one I’ve drifted from. So let me talk about Health Care Reform, I got your Health Care Reform right here, get to the gym, pay attention to what you eat! If your strong, if your well nourished, if you become ill, your chances for a quick, complete recovery, increase. Back home at Christmas time, I got up on a scale, what I saw scared me, 170 pounds! I stand 6′3″, sounds just a little light. For me to do my job, I need 15 or 20 more, with 25 pounds, I’m strong! With food, there are so many choices, so many of those choices bad, corn fed beef may be a problem, cows have a hard time digesting corn, there fed antibiotics with their corn, just to keep them healthy. Engineered crops might be a problem too, at some point, we need to ask, what possibly could cause the increase of food allergies in our populations, the increase in diabetes, of obesity, of cancers. When I left for the gym this morning, it was raining, as good a reason as any, just to stay home. I don’t use a car, got rid of it seven years ago, easy to say its just too wet out there to ride a bicycle, YOU KNOW, I’m trying to get a habit going here!
