pop!

ah... nice cloudy fri, nice and breezy, without the stifling heat u'd expect most days, perfect for a nice little game of hoops, walk around town... and where do i find myself?!?

back in my workplace, enjoying yet another round of guard duty.
true tho, i get it better than others. at least i dun have to wear the army issue long 4, and lug around a rifle dragging the very cumbersome combat boots around the compound.

got caught by the RSM(regimental sgt major?) yesterday, a cranky old uncle with a substantial potbelly honed from one too many cheap beer sessions at the spec mess. according to him, my hair's too long, and too untidy. guess i'll have to get a snip later.

the knee's not holding up too well these days. there's this constant dull, niggling pain on top of the kneecap. its like mr bruise found his lifetime partner and decided to set up residence at Mt. kneecap, blk lefthand side, level 13. his children are thinkin of moving out to blk righthand side.

think i inflicted the pain myself from too many plyometrics sessions in the past in a bid to jump higher. true, for a while, i was able to get rim, and i even entertained thoughts of dunking. but i guess the overzealous workouts caught up with me and the knee got hurt. now im a good step or two slower, and recovering from a squatting position would elicit a few groans.

physio wasn't any good. all it entailed was a gym session, followed by some time in a bed with a fancy contraption that emitted heat. and its $75 bucks a session?! luckily good old 11B took care of that.

ricketty, ricketty, creak
creakitty, creakitty, pop

and pop goes the kneecap!
