Tennis Elbow

Tennis elbow is NOT awesome. Not even "pretty awesome". What is awesome is a website I found called Discomfort Free that shows a self-massage technique that I just tried with great success.

She goes on for a while, but the basic idea is to place your hurt arm on a padded surface in front of you and use your other arm to make a sawing motion across the forearm and palm. This technique helps both tennis elbow and carpal tunnel syndrome. Try it!

Magnanimous

Everyone knows I love Kanye, so I got a few heads-ups that he was featured on last night's South Park. I haven't even seen the episode, but I assumed it was a pretty scathing portrayal. I expect nothing less from Stone and Parker. They are comic geniuses and Scientologists (I love that spell check thinks that's not a word) are the only people who take themselves so seriously that they don't think South Park is funny.

I just like this guy more and more. Kanye's reaction to the episode is nothing if not magnanimous-

SOUTH PARK MURDERED ME LAST NIGHT AND IT'S PRETTY FUNNY. IT HURTS MY FEELINGS BUT WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM SOUTH PARK! I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MY EGO THOUGH. HAVING THE CRAZY EGO IS PLAYED OUT AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE AND CAREER. I USE TO USE IT TO BUILD UP MY ESTEEM WHEN NOBODY BELIEVED IN ME. NOW THAT PEOPLE DO BELIEVE AND SUPPORT MY MUSIC AND PRODUCTS THE BEST RESPONSE IS THANK YOU INSTEAD OF "I TOLD YOU SO!!!" IT'S COOL TO TALK SHIT WHEN YOU'RE RAPPING BUT NOT IN REAL LIFE. WHEN YOU MEET LITTLE WAYNE IN PERSON HE'S THE NICEST GUY FOR EXAMPLE. I JUST WANNA BE A DOPER PERSON WHICH STARTS WITH ME NOT ALWAYS TELLING PEOPLE HOW DOPE I THINK I AM. I NEED TO JUST GET PAST MYSELF. DROP THE BRAVADO AND JUST MAKE DOPE PRODUCT. EVERYTHING IS NOT THAT SERIOUS. AS LONG AS PEOPLE THINK I ACT LIKE A BITCH THIS TYPE OF SHIT WILL HAPPEN TO ME. I GOT A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF ME TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE I'M NOT ACTUALLY A HUGE DOUCHE BUT I'M UP FOR THE CHALLENGE. I'M SURE THE WRITERS AT SOUTH PARK ARE REALLY NICE PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DRAW MY CREW. THAT WAS PRETTY FUNNY ALSO!! I'M SURE THERE'S GRAMMATICAL ERRORS IN THIS... THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW IT'S ME!

They Even Glow in the Dark

Do you ever see something that you think is so awesome that you kind of hate it? Like when you live in Miami and there are gorgeous women everywhere and for some reason it's annoying? This is in spite of the fact that I'm super charming and sometimes even get to smooch those sexy ladies. My mother tells me I'm handsome all the time, so I know I am at least a little bit.

What does this have to do with sneakers? I think the answer is obvious, since this is like the tenth post I've made about these shoes and I'm clearly running out of good titles. I'm not telling anyone that the pink and black ones come out on May 2nd because then everyone will want to come and hang out with Larry and me when we camp out to buy them. We're going to make s'mores maybe. We won't even have to make a fire since it's like a billion degrees out already. In closing, I hate Kanye and his stupid awesome sneakers and all the hot women in Miami and the humidity in this town. It's only April! Dammit. (Pssst, click on the photo to take an awesome tour of the making of the sneaker on the Complex website. You'll love it.)
