a bad mix

got up at 6am and went to Starbucks to meet a friend for some theological exploration. So I got the macdaddy coffee – just black…like Jesus made it. And no I don’t know the proper term for “biggest coffee you sell”. It was good too, but you have to remember Starbucks needs 18% water added to take away that nasty cigarette taste from over-roasting.

I settled in to enjoy a fine discussion that moved from the anti-establishment-down-with-organized-church-movement (maybe that’s called antiestablishmentarianism. I think I just made up a word, somebody check websters. We moved on to the doctrine of concurrence where we finished our time.

Along the way at 7:45am, after coffee, I drank my N.O. XPLODE on an empty stomach. Its one of those $65 super duper drinks that makes you go crazy so you can lift more weight when you work out. Then at 8:30am, are you following this, I started Body Pump at Cair Fitness. I felt like a machine…

and then I hit the squat track and things started feeling a little funny after about the 30th repetition (Body Pump is a combination of weights and cardio) and then my vision was gone. I’m pumping in the dark. Something was going wrong. My body was telling me we can lift more and more and more, but other systems inside me were not keeping up. Dizziness and that “everybody is far away” feeling start coming in. Then comes the bench press, back track, triceps, curls and “oh God I’ve got to get out of here”.

Jayme insisted that I eat a banana. I did. But I gave it back real fast along with the N.O. XPLODE (properly named) and a half gallon of Starbucks Pine Bark or something coffee.

I know there is something to learn here…is there a Bible verse?
