Most likely, we're just resigned to floating boats into place. Only to wake up with our necks all jacked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sprained my ankle in the most moronic way ever...like a month and a half ago. And it's still not totally recovered. I hate being old. It sucks. Where's the reset button imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue how I hurt it, but it's hurting all the time, and I couldn't tell you why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stood up, my foot did a fail, and somehow, here we are...more than a month later. Ankle still kinda messed up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KManX89 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Pumped for Zombieland 2 tonight. I love me some good ol' zombie blood-splattering fun, especially with Woody Harrelson. It's about 8 years too late for the sequel, but better late than never. Even better, I get to spend one of my only Fridays off of work on one of my fave pastimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugboat Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I'm still full into the "i should've been a figure skater" thing too btw. Went to a show a few nights ago nearly rinkside and honestly, it's probably better than hockey. It's a more pure art. I just want to know if i can become a bad figure skater this many years after my prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, i'm real great at ice skating. I've been doing it all my life. I've just never in my life worn a pair of figure skates with toe picks. Seems bad. Also, weird. Nobody starts figure skating this late in life, do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't know, I've been ice skating exactly once in my life. And I have very little incentive to try it again. Honestly, go for it. Seems like you have enough experience to not break your leg in six places... I'd probably break my leg in six places, so that's why I'm hesitant.

This is also definitely my Florida Mother's attitude toward things. And my goodness, is it hard to teach basic skating to a Gator. And then she broke her arm because of some random kid.

I'd probably break my leg in six places, so that's why I'm hesitant. You should definitely try it again. It's one of the best things on earth imo. Like one of the few things that makes life not mostly miserable. My dream, is to move to a city where i can just skate to work every day. Walking is for chumps. I'm hesitant because, though i learned from a figure skating coach, it was always very hockey-centric. Also figure skaters seem to be "aged out" when they turn like 25 these days, unless they're ice dancers. Which is what i just watched, after they're "retired" and my goodness i wanna do that too. Probably win less olympic gold medals though. Don't think you can be a male ice dancer after 25 years old tho. Probs not a lot of partners who haven't just ****in' quit at that point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh... skating never really caught on in Texas, simply because you're not able to skate in a natural place. You gotta go to a rink or something to get the full effect (ice skating that is). Roller skating/blading? Yeah, I didn't do that much, just wasn't my thing growing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
