Reply To: Totally ADD: No Exercise

Now this is ironic.

Tomorrow just might be the day for the BIG Mavericks waves to come in. The next mavericks annual surf contest is shaping up [possibly]. I had a little bit of trouble sleeping last night just thinking about it. Just watching some exercises can get my heart really pumpen. Watching football gets me all worked up. Watching nascar gets me worked up. Breathing too much air gets me worked up.

I’m a recovering adrenaline junkie. Guess I don’t need to say any more. @Fabulous I think I can relate to what you’re talking about. It started way back in about 7th grade. At scout camp they used to call me “muscles”, when we played “king of the hill”, I pushed all the other kids off the hill, I was pushing back against all the bullies in my life. A lot. I ran with it and by the time I was a sophomore. I had a full on body building, road biking, mountain biking, a lil running (used to get a side ache) sports addiction.  And I loved being on the track team. In 9th grade I won the all around boys track team MVP award. The only time I remember my parents showing up at school for anything at all. I was proud to be a track star that day. Never knew I was a track star until then. Of course I forgot about it within a few weeks because I didn’t have the self esteem that usually comes with it.

I was running away from problems. Pushing weights because they represented my problems. Destroying quarterbacks because I was jealous of all the chicks they got that I wanted. I got to play outside linebacker/defensive end. It was fun, not for the quarterback though.

I don’t run any more, or bike etc. But yep, I still love that addrenaline stuff. Can’t seem to get enough when my motor gets started. It ain’t easy but I’m starting to learn a lil moderation. Moderately. I especially take it nice and easy when it comes to trying to mellow out. In other words I don’t give myself a hard time when I still act a little bit foolish. It takes a long time to slow down when you’ve been traveling at the speed of light for such a very long time. I’m just a lil bit faster than the sound barrier I think. Don’t quote me on that though 🙂

I’ve been thinking about getting a Wii thing for a couple years… I will probably break it though. Hmm.
