Chris sent me a great video of 100 Japanese school kids playing a professional team in a game of soccer.  I feel for the professionals.  Check it out here.

Write your prayers on a slip of paper, lay them down on the porcelain shrine, and flush.  It works, really … just watch the video if you don’t believe me.

Olympic Weightlifting for a Tight Tone Body

Here’s Cara Heads, the 2000 Olympian taking someone off the street and teaching them the Olympic lifting movements to prove her point that anyone can get into this sport for fun and fitness.

I have proven over and over in my coaching practice that I can show ANYONE how to do the basic Olympic lifts in under 1 hour.  Period.

You don’t need to be a world champion to get in great shape!

And here’s Cara working on her Snatch technique off the blocks:

This video is the proof!

Sleep Talking Man: I’m Jealous


A Woman’s husband in Britain talks so much in his sleep that she is always kept up by it.  In response, she decided to keep a blog to record his musings.  Here’s an excerpt of one of rants:

“I’d like to introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Spoon… Fuck you, tossbag. I never liked them. And never will.”

“Yeah, falling in love is WONDERFUL. Especially when it’s with me.”

“Yeah I do. I have SO much to give. Choke on it!”

“Can you hold… can you hold my starfish? It doesn’t like it when I’m getting excited. Oh look, it likes you! Its legs are all cree-py cree-py.”

My Dad never slept much.  5 or 6 hours was all she wrote.  I clearly got his disease.  Because of my workout schedule I sleep more than I otherwise would, but I still top out at around 7 hours.  So, reading a blog about a guy who’s sleeping largely just makes me jealous! 

But, I can also relate.  My brother and I shared a bedroom when we were kids (until I was 18!).  We both talked in our sleep.  My Dad said he’d get woken up in the middle of the night (light sleeper), thinking we were just being loud, come into our room to shut us up, and realize that in fact we were zonked out … and having a totally insane sleep induced conversation. 

Unfortunately, there was no easy access to video cameras and Youtube back then, or I’d totally have that online.  I would have loved to see it.

Speaking of Youtube, here’s an interview with the couple:
