Today, Allergies Reigned Supreme (AND MEMPHIS IS AWESOME)

Note: In the middle of writing this post, I took a 2+ hour hiatus to watch the 3OT Memphis Grizzlies vs. Oklahoma City Thunder playoff game. Even in defeat, the Kobe face picture I was going to post at the end will now be replaced by Z-Bo. #Respect.

There are few things worse in this world than having uber, uberly bad allergies in springtime (it's May...). I'm one of those unlucky people who are afflicted by uncontrollable sneezing, wheezing, itchy eyes and all of that other sticky-icky-icky stuff that is associated with having allergies. And today, at work I almost had a total breakdown.

Have you ever been in a public place and wanted to sneeze/cough/laugh/cry loudly & uncontrollably? And been helpless to do anything about it? Then there's a little, tiny piece of your subconscious that believes you might be able to hold it together? Yeah, that never happens. Trust me, I'm known for doing this annoying cute thing where I sneeze and sneeze and sneeze again for no apparent reason. Anyone who has EVER slept in a room with me knows exactly what I am talking about.

Today it was so bad, it almost eclipsed the time where my headphones fell out of my phone when I was streaming the Spice Girls Pandora Station and blasted "Say My Name" for a solid 30 seconds. True Story.  Situations like today reminded me of the list that me and The Iron Lung put together a few years ago:

Worst Things That Could Ever Happen (in no particular order):
1. Drowning
2. Going to a Dinner Party With Not Enough Food
3. Allergies
4. Having Someone Else Ruin the Season Finale of Glee
5. Being Allergic to Chocolate

In MTN, I am finally getting back in the groove of working out on a constant basis. After going hard for the first 5-6 weeks, the beautiful weather drew me in yet again. But, I am happy to report that I am now back on my grinding schedule (I want to see those push ups, Mrs. Cooper). One thing I do have to work on is my punching form. I have a tendency to lead with my arms too much and not put enough of my body/legs into my hooks. For anyone who ever took AP Physics, I need more torque.

Finally, in honor of the saddest tweet I've seen in 2011 - "i wanna go on a date" here are some IDEAL places to meet girls. I feel a new Summer 2k11 Pact coming. And this one Ladies & Gentlemen,  has a chance to top the "American Pie", "Slap Bet", "Throw Up or Sun Up" AND "Never Fall in Love at the Jersey Shore" pacts...one of these has to work right?
  • Bowling Alley
  • Car Wash
  • Blackjack Table
  • Lady Gaga Concert (Tix pls, Zordon)
  • Anywhere that Serves Milkshakes

(I have to mention it, R.I.P. Lakers Mini-Dynasty. We all loved Kobe #24, now it's time for the next generation - Bynum 2.0, The Executioner)

And now Z-Bo. See the first few lines of this post for reference.





Peace & Love,
MKP
