After that, this book will fade, they way all books fade in your mind. But I hope you will remember this: A man walking fast down a dark lonely street. Quick steps and hard breathing, all wonder and need. A bell above a door and the tinkle it makes. A clerk and a ladder and a warm golden light, and then: the right book exactly, at exactly the right time.

That’s what it feels like when I write, like I have this beautiful world in my head, but when I try to remember it in order to write it down, I change it, and I can’t ever get it back.

By Heaven, Kemp, you don't know what rage is! To have worked for years, to have planned and plotted, and then to get some fumbling purblind idiot messing across your course! Every conceivable sort of silly creature that has every been created has been send to cross me. If I have much more of it, I shall go wild,--I shall start mowing 'em. As it is, they've made things a thousand times more difficult.

H.G. Wells The Invisible Man

Did H.G. Wells ever work in retail, or the service industry? Because if this doesn’t perfectly sum it up, I don’t know what does.

People basically become runners because they're meant to.

IS THIS REAL LIFE?! I still barely believed this happened. It’s unbelievable that even during our Season of Garbage we could put together a game like this; that even when we are THE WORST, we still can’t lose to NYCFC.

NY is RED. If there were any questions about that still lingering, today’s game should have cleared them up nicely.

P.S. Can someone send Klinsi a clip of that Grella assist? (Though I’d be kind of afraid to let Grella go to a national team camp, as I am convinced that Klinsi put a curse on Robles this past January. Why? Who knows. But I wouldn’t put it past him.)

"She has gone back to Brooklyn," her mother would say. And, as the train rolled past Macmine Bridge on its way towards Wexford, Eilis imagined the years ahead, when these words wold come to mean less and less to the man who heard them and would come to mean more and more to herself. She almost smiled at the thought of it, then closed her eyes and tried to imagine nothing more.

A THEORY~

So I think (hope) I have found the root of the recent escalation in my back pain: bad foam rolling technique. My back had been sore from work and from running, so I was like “Oh, why don’t I just foam roll it away?”, and because I am an idiot, I failed to look up the proper ways to do this. So I foam rolled directly on my lower back, which, apparently, is a pretty big no-no. Which, of course, is SUPER OBVIOUS in hindsight, and I should have known that, especially given I have scoliosis and have dealt with lower back stuff and all that. 

I am really hoping that this is what’s wrong so I can stop driving myself crazy trying to figure this out. I am also SO SO MAD at myself for being so stupid.

Has anyone else nearly crippled themselves with a foam roller? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about fixing myself?
