Ow


Ouch. I was at Triad today working out with Kirk (who incidently was selected for the 2nd year in a row as one of the top 100 trainers in the US by Men's Journal Magazine) when I crushed my finger. We were working out on doing bench presses on a stability ball when the thing slipped out from under me, I rolled and crushed my finger between two dumbells, instead of just letting go, like a dumbell. My finger swelled up to the size of a toe and hurt like I'd broken it until I finally poked it through the nail with a needle to let off some of the pressure. I've got ice on it, but it keeps seeping blood out the nail, which is kinda gross. On a more interesting and less gory note, while Kirk and I were warming up, I got to talking with a couple guys who'd just gotten done working out there with Kirk. Both used to play for MSU in the past two years, one being a quarterback and the other a wide receiver. It was interesting to hear their take on John L. Smith vs. Bobby Williams. Both are working to go pro, either with a canadian or european league.

are you gaining sympathy, or flipping people off?

Sympathy. Doesn't seem to be working. It just happens to be my middle finger.
