Tedlar the Feather Foot.....I'm hoping

I've been putting it off for years now. Four years ago, when I reinjured my back, my D.O. said that I would have back problems all my life if I didn't get some custom made orthotics for $360.00. Being the man who owned my body, and not the man with 12 years of medical school, I decided that I didn't need such a product. It was an easy dicison since I was broke beyond belief,the orthotics were too expensive, and they cheap Sixty dollar ones didn't seem to want to fit in my new shoes anyway.

I am still having problems. While my back has gotten better overall, it still gives me pain every day. In the last couple years, I have also had such bad problems with my leg muscles that I've had a couple guys suggest the orthotics again. I am just sick of not being able to exercise my lower body and not being able to walk or stand for too long. Today I finally decided that I had the money and the incentive to spend an entire paycheck on something I'll be standing on all day. The only thing that stinks, well besides the price ($480.00), is that I'll probably have to get new shoes as well. I just bought new Nikes 3 months ago, but it seems as if the orthotics won't fit in them. Oh well, it will all be worth it if I can move like a used to.

Raise the Roof

I love my Jorb. This is the second concert that I have gone to in the last month and a half, and it was FREE! I got to see Kutless, the Newsboys, and some new jamband called Newworldson. The picture above is from the Newsboys. It was pretty sweet. They had two giant bubble jets that filled the air with bubbles. It was awesome. The picture above doesn't do it justice. All the lights were reflecting through changing all sortsa colors. It was cool.

So yesterday the Firemen came to our preschool for fire safety week. When I heard about it last week, I jokingly said I wanted to ride the firetruck. So Yesterday, the preschool director, the janitor, and the assistant pastor all pulled me out of my office and convinced me to go check things out. So on my way over there, I spotted a larger lizard and snagged him on the way. So I walk up to these firemen and preschool kids in my nice dress clothes gripping a lizard that is going absolutely nuts. He was bitting at the air and waving his arms around. He looked like kermit the frog when he says "Yay" and looks all excited. So the firemen, were like, "um, so you've got a Lizard, huh?" It was cool. I let him go after I showed him to the kids.

So later that night, I was walking next to this building and a little lizard was on the wall. He did this crazy back flip, matrix style, and landed right under my path, moments before I stepped down. The little bugger killed himself. I wasn't too happy about it. I like my lizard folk. Why in the world would he jump right in front of my foot? I decided that it was equivalent to stepping in front of a dump truck. I just wonder what would cause a lizard to just want to end it all.
