Hello there,
Today was a pretty successful day. Five hours of sleep ... not so fun, ten hour work day ... another power walked 15K marathon (retail), hour and a half workout ... painful leg day, and the best part ... completion of my first challenge. That is right, I have completed a challenge already. On the previous post I talked about the Bag Bite Challenge. Though sounding dumb I attempted it due to a strong desire to win at everything. I needed an immediate challenger so I could crush their quintessence of living. The easiest and natural adversary to take out, of course, could be no other than Lindsey (love you, Peter Griffin laugh). The following pictures might be shocking; please brace yourselves for what you are about to see. Long white legs, crazy flexibility, 25 year old with male pattern baldness and picture frames with a picture of a family who I imagine is not real. Without further delay, the Bag Bite Challenge Photos.
Step one was finding a paper bag. After working out I insisted that Lindz and I go to Publics even though we did not need groceries. Obviously the only reason I wanted to go was to get paper bags. So we arrive to the checkout; the bagger, an elderly man, asks me, "is plastic ok"? I responded with the obvious, "paper please". That is when I received the, you are killing the environment stare. I shortly and quickly responded with, the tree is already dead, the plastic bag will get stuck in a land fill and the paper will be recycled glare.
Above is the moment where I thought I had a chance to defeat her. I found my technique, the groins were not as sore as I imagined they would be after the gym, and I was feeling good. As we continue with cutting off an inch at a time, we start to edge closer and closer to the ground.
VICTORY!!!!!
What is not captured in this final round photo is the kiss to the ground. That is right, 13 years of long snapping have finally paid off with yet another stupid human trick. I can kiss the ground while balancing on two feet. The problem ... I did not beat my rival. She too completed the task of kissing the ground. This unfortunately is a draw, but still a VICTORY over the challenge. The only way to see who the real winner would be is to create a set up the goes sub-floor with the bag. Knowing that I am not Sean Claude Van Damme and my competitor is a former gymnast I am happy with the draw. I would still kick her @ss anyways (love you).
I recommend trying this challenge with friends; it is rather entertaining watching the other person figure out the best way to get as low as possible. Additionally, as my ECON 211 professor used to state, "competition drives everything". So, compete and let me know how well you did. I will put an updated list on the side for final measurements when I receive them.
P.S. I updated my activity log for The President's Challenge and have now completed 12% of my journey in just two days. At this rate Bronze will be reached in less than three weeks out of a six week challenge.
It is getting late and I have another five hours of sleep ahead of me before I wake up for work.
Goodnight Peeps
Keep the Challenges Coming ...
