Well, here's something to think about; if there ever was karma would it really strike back at someone who never did wrong? My guess is that you probably didn't understand that, hence I shall explain.

You see, it all started at 11am in the morning after my early lunch at Parkway Parade when I had finished my training at 9.30am. After which, I decided to spend time at MPH, the resident bookstore whilst browsing through some of the new selections.
I managed to go through a couple of good reads in the process, including one banked upon stories of witches in modern times, written by Isaac Asimov. From robots to witches..heh, this guy needs a real job.

Anyway, walking through the store, I chance upon a tiny little book on the chinese zodiac and the year of the Cock. I'm sorry, I meant to say Rooster..innocent as it looks, I pick it up only to find that the little bastard had a rude shock waiting in store for me. What happened you ask?

Well, opening the book, smack-dab right in the face, the very FIRST words I see are:

HEALTH:
"Dear Tiger, the month ahead is going to be one laid out with many accidents that will cause you to stumble. It is during this period you will be most prone to injury and sickness. Try to avoid adventurous or heavy sporting activity."

Thanks ALOT motherf*cker..I happen to be born in the year of the Tiger myself! What a great way to cap off the morning and head into the afternoon. As I read on, I decided to play blind man's bluff and pretended that I didn't read anything.

Chinese astrology..who the fuck came up with that??

So it comes to 2:50pm where I'm ending my training session with front squats at 90kilos. It might seem heavy to most of you guys but my heaviest front squat is 155kg, so in that sense, 90kg can be considered a warm-up.

Someone must have taken notice of me ignoring the words in that stupid book and put a curse on me because the next thing I knew, this grinding noise came out of my back, and yea, you guessed it, I'm injured again. 3 times in 3 months..only this time, I managed to walk away with a back sprain. I'm just hoping it's not a slipped-disc otherwise it would be Hasta la vista baby to my athletic pursuit.

First, the torn chest and back muscles on the right side. Then, it was the fractured rib and seperated collar bone on my left. Now it's a sprained back?? What the hell's next? Honestly, if you wanna know what's going through my mind, it's gotta be, NEVER TOUCH A FUCKING BOOK ON CHINESE ASTROLOGY.
