My Analogies are Nothing if Not Relevant to the Times!

Imagine you were a participant in the Olympic Games. Doesn't matter what sport. And also try to imagine that as you make your way to London via aeroplane you realize that over the course of the past four years you forgot to do any training whatsoever. None! In fact, you've done the opposite of training. Using the determination only an Olympic athlete could muster you allowed your muscles to atrophy through a series of sits and sleeps to the point where it required months of rigorous physiotherapy just to allow you to walk onto the plane. As if that wasn't enough, let's assume that your country of origin has not only decided that they don't want to be associated with you but has actually legally removed you as a citizen. There's more! Your favorite beverage of choice, lets say for instance Pepsi, which you drink four to five times a day did not inform you when they decided it would be in their best interest to replace the contents of the cans with sulfuric acid.

So, you're on your way to compete in the world's premier athletic event. You used up your weeks energy just getting on the plane. You're country-less, functioning stomach-less/esophagus-less and to top it all off the plane seats have caused mild lower back pain. The question is... how do you think you'll fare in your event? Not well. Actually, you may even say you'll... fail! Which now brings us to this blog.

The above analogy is meant to describe how pitifully my sticking to the original rules has gone. Although I would like to point out one thing. With the successful posting of this it will mean that I've managed to make at least one posting per month since the beginning. ...I'll take what I can get!
