So I went and walked around Phalen.  Normally I avoid it, but weather was so nice and I was sure the path was much more clear at Phalen, then most other places I would've gone to.  Well only a few spots still had piles of snow so not all paths are clear.  Took me about 50 minutes to clear to walk around Phalen.  Noticed a few people that were running on in opposite direction and saw them around the other side of the lake.  My legs are okay, however my knees are weak...so I don't think running will benefit me if I should try to jog around the lake at this time.  I really should've worn shorts and t-shirt only but oh well I figure I will just do that later.  Got a little sun so not too bad for such a pale white guy.

It's been nearly two weeks or so.  I physically feel better.  My energy level is improving.  I can do 20 push ups and twenty sit ups now.  That's not too bad considering how weak I was before.  This last week with new job has basically killed any kind of stretching or exercise, so call it a rest and recuperation period.  Anyway here are some pix for comparison...v ery little changes on the camera photo's but I'm beginning to see some veins under the skin, so I know they'er there.

Try leaving the windows open and see if any animals with a black mask will come in and steal your food.  ;D  j/k

It's normal for small birds to squeeze through holes in the wall.

Just fighting for a little bit of peace and sleep.  I work at night leaving for work at 6pm and generally coming home between the hours of 3-5 am in the morning.  My body is beat up and it’s already hard enough to just rest and go to sleep with an aching and hurting body.

It’s so difficult when you have an ex-spouse who still insists on playing her dating games with other people and insists on coming home to sleep under your roof.  Her claimed reason is to help watch the children, like be there to take them to school and be there to bring them home from school.  Yet for the past few months, well like from Oct. of 2013, she has done so little of it up through the month of March 2014.  In fact nearly all of the missed school days for the children was her making them miss the bus stop in the morning.  And then of course when she can’t stand the children pestering her and she feels the need to get away from them.  So then in the end, I have to get up to send the children to school when they miss the bus.  It’s that it’s unnecessary, but she does it to disturb my sleep so I can’t get any sleep in.  Some days I probably get only like about 1 hour of rem sleep.  Most days, I get like a total of 4-5 hours of sleep but broken throughout the day.  It’s no wonder I’m so tired all the time.  This and add into the fear of her doing something crazy like maybe just trying to kill you in your sleep still haunts me at time.  It’s also part of why I constantly have nightmares of always someone trying to kill me.  That makes sleep in itself even more difficult.  I go to a point where I get so tired that when I do finally fall asleep from exhaustion, I sleep like a rock without any sense of what’s happening around me.  I’m usually at my most vulnerable times like these.  It’s also when the ex-spouse steal the truck keys and off she goes to the casino and off she goes to commit adultery.  Yes she usually empties my wallet of any cash, too.

Many times I wake up hours later, the kids are telling me they are very hungry and haven’t eaten anything.  Well that just pisses me off.   Their mother’s negligence and ignoring her kids.  Their mother’s negligence is nothing new.  That’s been happening from the day they were born.  Still with the lack of proper rest and sleep.  I have to fight my exhaustion and get up and cook something to feed my children.  Of course afterwards I’ll be too angry and frustrated to go back to sleep.  Often times, the ex-spouse won’t come home until 24-48 hours later.  She typically claims she’s lost all of the money.  Of which more than likely she lost it and still holds out whatever cash she has left somewhere else.  Because afterwards a few days later, she will still manage to sneak out to the casino…like riding the bus for example and then have money to spend at the casino again.  For someone who has no money, she sure has a lot of money from nowhere to gamble all the time.  Again gambling isn’t the problem, it’s just the symptom.  Getting away from her responsibility as a mother and wife is the problem.  Child negligence, is a normal routine for her.  I cannot fight her on that anymore.  I’m just so tired of her, her negligence.

Yeah...but my body is telling me...can't do it!  :2funny: :2funny:  And when your eyes are going more and more blind...is that the ball right in front of my face!...SMACK...I guess it was.  :2funny:

Today's talents are even less...it's kind of been that way...a slow progression of less skillful players.  It's kind of politics and funding budgets.   If you get money...you sometimes just fill the positions...no t the best players...but more like a coaches ability to play the players.  Understand how coaches operates.  I mean a few movies about how mostly pro football operates...in a hollywood entertainment way, but still some truths to it.

Anyway some DIII schools have better vball teams than some DI school...speak ing women's.

It was a long time ago.  None of us even play anymore....wel l, I can't speak for them.  I don't play anymore.  Maybe the old crew is still playing somewhere, but they gotta be old by now.  I was the youngest.  BTW, they weren't Hmong, but they weren't D1 players either. 

Not all D1 schools were elite.  You're probably thinking California where players are on scholarship and volleyball is actually cool.  Volleyball is more popular these days, but back in the day, volleyball was what guys played if they weren't good at basketball.  Also, we beat them in tournaments and pickups, not an actual NCAA style game.  For the 2v2 sands tournament, I am not even sure if the D1 players got 2nd or 3rd.  I think some locals beat them too.  Of course, those locals might have been older D1 players.   

In later years, the players stopped coming out to play pickup and tournaments.  They didn't even play pickups between different schools anymore.  They only wanted to play among themselves with their own teams.  I can only assume the coach didn't want them learning bad habits, or maybe the coach didn't want them hurting themselves. 

That was a lifetime ago. 


Those don't sound like any trained D1 players I can think of...and I agree not every D1 team can be consisted of good players.  Some are just fodders because they just need to spend their budget and fill the position.  All I've got to say is that most guys are extremely full of themselves when it comes to competitive vball.  Most of them can't hold their own either, cuz some of the nicest guys off court, are some of the best on court and even more competitive, cuz they are that much better than the rest.  Sure I understand that if you're not of college age anymore you really can't compete on that performance level anymore.  But skill wise, if you still got it...you learn to play just differently  and I've seen old guys over 50+ who can still whoop those skilled college age players (not necessarily D1 team players).

LOL...I know Phalen Style...good laugh and fun times.

As long as someone goes and get the ball out of the water.   O0  :2funny: :2funny:

The only thing they haven't learned yet is totem pole spike!  :2funny:

Funny that you mention playing against D1 players.  My ragtag group of volleyball players beat many D1 players.  They weren't the elite D1 volleyball schools, but still D1 players nonetheless.  Beat them on 6v6 open campus tournament.  Beat them in the open 4v4 sand tournament.  Almost won the local colleges tournament.  Two of my teammates did beat them in the city 2v2 sand tournament. 

That being said, even though we beat them, we weren't really better than them.  If they sported their entire team with substitutions, they probably would have beaten us.  They made multiple teams for the 6v6 tournament.  They thought they were going to win the top spots by doing so.  They simply weren't used to playing these kinds of tournaments. 


U sure they're the actual college team or just pick up college players? huge difference...

Maybe your team should really try to compete in an M1 format...if they're still around.

You are the one fixated on the rules, and you just so happen to be wrong on them.   It's not a debate, it's fact.  No on is saying that you can't like FIVB rules, but those rules were not always the same.  Moreover, people can play Hmong rules, and still be good players.  There are a lot of Hmong people in college.  I bet they can all hold their own. 


I'm not wrong about rules...get over it.  The only thing I'm fixated is encouraging others to learn how to play by different rules....so so happen to be current officiated rules.  So you are wrong yet again.  Get over your fixation about making others wrong and trying win by your debate method.

Hmoob Dawb kid would say to Hmoob Lees kid: "Hmoob lees taus ris ntev, nyob hauv tsev, ntsaum nab pom ntsaum nab muab plev" - Hmong Leng wore long pants in the house, ants see ants bit.

Moob Leeg kid would say to Moob Dlawb kid: "Moob dlawb aub pob tawb, moog tom haav tsawb, tsuv pum tsuv muab khawb" - Hmong Der carry a bucket to the banana field, tiger see tiger scratch.


Ah good one!  O0

That technical jargon is all on bulbasaur...LO ;D  since debate forums has been dead... :2funny: :2funny:

That's all what I'm saying if that when you get good at one rule...you should go try another rule to see if your good at that too or not.  If you're not...then you have to ask yourself if you can become better.  If you become better then you should try another rule and see if you are becoming better.  Then if somehow you end up playing pro level because of that...then give yourself a pat on the back.

2309
Why you keep calling it inferior?

2310
Ah yeah yeah...why do you disagree? and only conjecture with only opinions on grounds without any empirical data nor actual experience.

I'm just pointing out your errors and giving you examples of what I've seen of how good you are at wording incorrectly.   O0
