Warning: Joan Jett is dangerous

[Stac3y]

I often listen to Joan Jett on my iPod when I work out--it keeps me from being bored while I jump rope, and it really helps me get my energy level up. Today I decided to keep listening while I played around with some moves for a new creative kata. I got a little (way?) too pumped up, did a very high reverse crescent kick, and landed on my butt so hard that my ears were ringing. Owie! Pretty sure I will now have some nice bruises....

I knew Joan Jett was dangerous waaaaaaay back when she was in the Runaways... she scares me

hope your ok.

[Stac3y]

Yeah, I'm fine. Just glad no one was watching!

That's what you get when you ... "... love rock-n-roll... put another dime in the juke box baybee..."

Actually, it was "I Hate Myself for Loving You." Great song, and somehow appropriate to the situation.

Something similar happened to me on the treadmill at the Y. I don't usually like cardio machines because I see them as giant hamster wheels for bipeds. So I decided to get more mindful about it and try a fast-paced walking meditation. I'll just close my eyes ...

vvvzzZZWEEEEEE!!!!! Suddenly I'm flailing wildly as the treadmill deposits me on the floor. Everyone is trying not to stare. I'm getting up as smoothly as I can. I meant to do that ... yeah.

Damn it, Tich Nhat Hahn. It's all your fault.

DARN YOU Stac3y!!!!

Now I can't get the song I Hate Myself for Loving You out of my head and NOW I will have to go buy a Joan Jett Album to make it go away

I lost all mine years ago in a car fire

Ouch! I've been darned! Xue, let me recomment "Fit to be Tied"--it's a compilation of Joan Jett's greatest hits. Until you get the CD, enjoy your brain soundtrack.
