Volleyball Workouts...

So as you know I'm part of a wicked-good volleyball team called the Mustangs
But as you can tell, I'm not really one to, like working out. So when my coach sent me this...

Mustangs,
I have included a basic workout to help prepare you for next season. Your goal should be to do this 3 days per week. It should take approximately 45 minutes each day. Please do it in the order listed. If you are right handed, make sure that the last 2 steps of your approach jump are right/left.

3 sets of 20 approach jumps

3 sets of 20 bicycle crunches

3 sets of 10 pushups

3 sets of short back and forth sprints (6 X 60 ft)

3 sets of 20 throws (rocks, apples, tennis balls, etc.)

3 2-minute sessions of jump rope

3 30-second planks

 

Go 1 set all the way through the list and then start back at the top for set 2 and then set 3.

I was like...

Ha.Ha. like that's gonna happen....

The Biggest Plot Twist EVER

The Biggest plot twist of all time:

The Good ol' Disney

This one is a CLASSIC!

Well Ali Baba had them forty thieves
Scheherezade had a thousand tales
But master you in luck 'cause up your sleeves
You got a brand of magic never fails
You got some power in your corner now
Some heavy ammunition in your camp
You got some punch, pizzazz, yahoo and how
See all you gotta do is rub that lamp
And I'll say

Mister Aladdin, sir
What will your pleasure be?
Let me take your order
Jot it down
You ain't never had a friend like me
Ha ha ha

Life is your restaurant
And I'm your maitre d'
C'mon whisper what it is you want
You ain't never had a friend like me

Yes sir, we pride ourselves on service
You're the boss
The king, the shah
Say what you wish
It's yours! True dish
How about a little more Baklava?

Have some of column "A"
Try all of column "B"
I'm in the mood to help you dude
You ain't never had a friend like me

Can your friends do this?
Can your friends do that?
Can your friends pull this out their little hat?
Can your friends go, Woo?
Well, looky here
Can your friends go, Abracadabra, let 'er rip
And then make the sucker disappear?

So doncha sit there slack jawed, buggy eyed
I'm here to answer all your midday prayers
You got me bona fide, certified
You got a genie for your chare d'affaires
I got a powerful urge to help you out
So what-cha wish? I really wanna know
You got a list that's three miles long, no doubt
Well, all you gotta do is rub like so - and oh

Mister Aladdin, sir, have a wish or two or three
I'm on the job, you big nabob
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never had a friend like me
You ain't never had a friend like me, hah!

Answer to the last song: I can go the Distance, from Hercules 

WHAT'S THAT DISNEY SONG????? Day 2

Okay so I guess this is the theme for the rest of this month, WHAT'S THAT DISNEY SONG!?!?!?!


                                                       TODAY'S SONG:

I have often dreamed of a far off place
Where a hero's welcome would be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer when they see my face
And a voice keeps saying, this is where I'm meant to be

I'll be there someday, I can go the distance
I will find my way if I can be strong
I know every mile, will be worth my while
When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong

Down an unknown road to embrace my fate
Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you
And a thousand years would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime but somehow I'll see it through

And I won't look back, I can go the distance
And I'll stay on track, no, I won't accept defeat
It's an uphill slope but I won't lose hope
'Til I go the distance, and my journey is complete

But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part
For a hero's strength is measured by his heart

Like a shooting star, I will go the distance
I will search the world, I will face its harms
I don't care how far, I can go the distance
'Til I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms

I will search the world, I will face its harms
'Til I find my hero's welcome, waiting in your arms

      

yesterday's song: Son Of Man from Tarzan :)

The Golden age of Disney

Do you know where this is from? 


       If not go back to 1999 and get a childhood!


     
Oh, the power to be strong
And the wisdom to be wise
All these things will
come to you in time
On this journey that you're making
There'll be answers that you'll seek
And it's you who'll climb the mountain
It's you who'll reach the peak
Son of Man, look to the sky
Lift your spirit, set it free
Some day you'll walk tall with pride
Son of Man, a man in time you'll be
Though there's no one there to guide you
No one to take your hand
But with faith and understanding
You will journey from boy to man
Son of Man, look to the sky
Lift your spirit, set it free
Some day you'll walk tall with pride
Son of Man, a man in time you'll be
In learning you will teach
And in teaching you will learn
You'll find your place beside the
ones you love
Oh, and all the things you dreamed of
The visions that you saw
Well, the time is drawing near now
It's yours to claim it all
Son of Man, look to the sky
Lift your spirit, set it free
Some day you'll walk tall with pride
Son of Man, a man in time you'll be
Son of Man
Son of Man's a man for all to see

Dark Chocolate

Dark Chocolate By Hannah Walker

Now I know you're thinking “Oh great it’s another version of Hansel and Gretel!”  But it’s NOT it’s a version of a story not told very often for who knows why. Now to start the story we are going to place you in the middle of the 1800’s. Exactly 30 years before the beginning of the Gold Rush a baby boy was born. His parents were rich but suddenly poor after a terrible accident. They became farmers. His mother as a result received a terrible lisp. When they were in the delivery room the baby boy’s mother had a surgical mask on and no one could understand her. She desperately wheezed “Could I have some dark chocolate please?” but it sounded like “da da da den da dama cleeze?” which her husband thought was a perfect name for the baby boy. So there it was.  He was named Damocles. Damocles lived a very difficult life mostly because of his name. And thirty years later he still didn’t understand why he was named Damocles and not one of the popular names like Benjamin or Charles.  Around the same time an unscrupulously rich baby Girl was born and named Gloria. Now let’s fast forward to around the time the Gold Rush started.

Damocles moved and built a home in California; Got married, and had a couple kids. He bitterly followed in his father’s footsteps and became a farmer. Being a farmer Damocles was very poor and didn’t make a lot of money. He had the “perfect” life as some people call it. But of course some drama happens because without drama the story would be pretty boring. He got jealous yes jealous J-E-A-L-O-U-S.  Now I know that doesn’t sound tooooo exciting but believe me it gets juicy. He was jealous partly because he had traveled all that way and hadn’t struck it rich yet. And partly not two days before today his neighbor won the best wagon award and revived a brand new oxen team paired with a brand new silver plow! What did you think I was going to say a brand new car!?  So Damocles was feeling sorry for himself and he went into town hoping to find a deal on a slightly used Oxen Team. He was briskly studying his very cheap watch when he fortunately bumped into Gloria or ‘The king of Gold’. She had been the first person to strike it rich and was often referred to as the ‘King of Gold’. “Whoa! It’s you! You’re the- the king of Gold!” stammered Damocles. “Yep it’s me and don’t ask for a loan either!” rudely drawled Gloria. “H-h-h hi your majesty!” quaked Damocles. “Hey calm down my life isn’t that great. And none of that your majesty stuff!” gruffly lilted Gloria or the ‘King of Gold’. “Your life is the best!” happily Whistled Damocles. “Yeah well how bout you take my place for a week ‘betcha couldn’t survive my life!” truthfully Joked Gloria. “Bet I could!” crossly queried Damocles “Okay I’m going on vacation next week so you can fill my spot then.” Gallantly snickered Gloria.

So that was that Damocles was going to be the ‘King of Gold’ for a week. And boy was he happy too! Bright and early he woke on be king of gold day and wolfed down breakfast. He didn’t even have time to hug his kids and wife goodbye. Damocles snuck out of the house. Unfortunately he didn’t tell his wife where he was going and boy he’s going to wish he did sooner or later. He arrived at Gloria’s amazingly big mansion and was very excited. “So you’re really going through with this huh.” Bluntly guessed Gloria. “Whoa! Where did you come from!?” franticly trembled Damocles “Never mind that well here are the keys see ya and Hawaii here I come!” jubilantly jested Gloria and with that she sped off into the sunrise. Days went bye and boy was he living the life of luxury. He was right in the middle of listening to the top 25 hit songs and brutally attacking some fried deer meat or as some people call it venison. When a bomb broke through the glass, rolled down the stairs, and exploded in the kitchen! Right at that point Damocles dropped his venison and almost puked. ”Number three!” expectantly shouted one of the servants. “What! Someone call the police or the bomb squad or the F.B.I. or my wife or something!” fearfully rambled   Damocles. “This happens all the time calm down!” calmly emitted servant number 2. ” I’m done that’s it someone get me home!” abruptly retorted Damocles. So he noisily looped home only to find his farm gone! “Honey is that you?” nervously entreated his wife. “Where is the barn!?” loudly beseeched Damocles. “You left so we left we thought you died and the worst part is I married Craig our neighbor! sobbed Damocles’ wife “ “Sorry daddy!” scornfully chortled one of Damocles’ kids. “What!!!!!!!!”Surprisingly screamed Damocles. Now I don’t think you want to listen to Damocles crying so, to end this story don’t be jealous unless you’re Damocles because in that case you have a right to be jealous. I mean c’mon! Damocles’ neighbor stealthily got his wife and won a new oxen team and silver plow. And to think it could have all been avoided if Damocles’ mother got her dark chocolate   .
