Sumo Deadlifts

Been forever since I’ve posted an update! Need to get back on track though. Especially now since I’m training for a guest appearance at the Association of Oldetime Barbell and Strongmen Reunion Dinner on October 23rd! Check out http://www.weightlifting.org/aobs.htm for more info about the AOBS. I’m really excited to be a part of this event. This year will will be honoring former Mr. Universe, Chet Yorton, World Renowned Strongman, Dennis Rogers and Three-Time Weightlifting Olympian, Fred Lowe.

A little more about UpSwong

kara — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 20:33:29 +0000

For today’s daily swong I’m going to begin elaborating on the origins of upSWONG. First let’s begin by defining an upswing.

up-swing

1. an upward swing or trend

2. a big increase, improvement or advancement

When asked what makes an upSWONG different than an upswing, semi-pro online poker player and backer Craig Smith replied, “Hmmmmm…it’s just better. I mean, it’s a swong.”

Confession: I like the iPhone WordPress app so much more than BlackBerry's

kara — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 02:12:14 +0000

As a BlackBerry girl at heart it’s always hard for me to admit when the iPhone wins in any way. I can almost always find some way to downplay even the most obviously superior features because it’s become second nature for me to always believe my BlackBerry crushes all other devices of it’s kind. But unfortunately I must admit, as far as WordPress is concerned iPhone > BlackBerry. *sigh*. I don’t even want to talk about all the reasons why as it would be too painful…it just is. The only thing that offers a slight glimmer of comfort is knowing I can crank out posts so much more efficiently on my BlackBerry Storm keyboard.

Clearly I’ll have to go rant about this to a friend on BlackBerry Messenger as a reminder of one of the huge things I love about my Berry that the iPhone will never have.
