 So today I decided to play a bit of soccer, in lieu of my typical workout. Now, this is the first time I have played soccer in quite a while and it was sort of ok. Why sort of?…well, I have had pretty tight upper left leg muscles for some time now, and have been meaning to go get a deep tissue massage to work out the knots. Â
Well, I did not get around to it, and so today I pulled my upper thigh muscles. Yep, it  was quite silly of me in doing this. No only have my left muscles been buggin’ me, today I did not even get a good stretch before getting on the pitch.Â
At any rate, I hit it with an icepack, took some motrin and then I will try to get a pretty deep massage later.  Needless to say I will have to take it easy on the leg this weekend and rest it up.

Well, kind of a soft cardio/abs workout I must admit. I really did not commit to this workout, but I did get in a pretty good cardio portion though. I will have to workout through the weekend to make up for a lackluster week. I am in a pretty good maintenace phase right now; I feel pretty good about my body, my diet, and generally all things. I thank the Creator for all things and I ask for health strength and guidance in life.Â

Okay, I am not one to be too overly excited about much, but when it comes to my MacBook , IMac, IPOD or IPAD,  I must shamelessly admit, I simply cannot get enough. Why am I so big on the Mac platform, let me give you a bit.Â
I purchased my first Mac platform, my MacBook, in December 2006; it was sort of a Christmas gift for myself.  Now, I had been a total Windows PC guy up to that time, but after I purchased my MacBook, I have not looked back and I don’t see how I could ever go back to using a Windows platform.
It has now been 5 years since I made the switch and I am a total Mac convert – hook-line-and-sinker. Don’t get me wrong, I am not a rediculous Mac Fanboy, I don’t even like the way that sounds, but I have been totally pleased with everything Apple that I have used – both hardware and software-wise.Â
So here we are now. Mac’s latest operating system – “Lion” – is now out, and sure enough, I am just behind one of the leading-edge installers. I installed Lion last night. I haven’t had a chance to really take it for a good spin yet, but from the early signs, it will go the way of the past. I already know alredy that I will not be disappointed.Â
On the financial front, I wish I had stopped and given a look at Apple’s stock years ago, but then again, hindsight is 20/20. I decided to re-organize my portfolio at the start of the year, as a part of my year review and pick up some apple stocks. Well, lets put it this way, I am very please at the trajectory that the stock is on. I would very much recommend a buy, especially after the news on Tuesday that they doubled their net profit quarter over quarter from roughly $3.5B to $7.2B.Â
Bottomline – don’t even think about get Samsung, HP or any of the other wanna beat Mac. just give in and go Mac – resistance my friends is futile.

Deciphering what she wants in bed is like uncovering the mystery of the Sphinx—only more difficult. Especially considering a recent Johns Hopkins University study, reporting that women often struggle to express what they want in the bedroom—and many even have trouble recognizing their own sexual feelings.
Great. If even she doesn’t know her sexual feelings, is there any hope for you? Actually, yes. Use this guide to read her cues in bed.
She says: “Don’t stop.â€
You think: “She’s having a good time; I should go harder and faster.â€
She means: Don’t change anything—at all.

A pretty adult read here from WebMD; interesting nonetheless.
