I'm sitting in Panama City after bumbling about the panhandle of Florida.
Today I:
A. Saw the casing that is used to house nukes...aptly called "The Fat Man" that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That's sobering to say the least. Fuckin' A. My bro showed me and my other bro a museum of the US Military's arsenal. First time I saw a SR-71 Blackbird up close. Were it not for the fact satellites have rendered that plane obselete (sp?), it should definitely be in use. Fuck those things are badass looking. I also learned how anti-tank missles nowadays work and suffice to say, I thank my stars I'm not actually in the line of work that requires me to be in a tank.
B. I also saw where they filmed The Truman Show. That town looks just as cheesy and gay in real life as it did in the movie.
C. Learned Britney Spears owns a house just up the road from here in Destin. In the last week I've spent a fair amount of time in Destin. Destin is basically a Girls Gone Wild video happening in real time in the summer. This time of year, its what those "SPRING BREAK GONE CRAZY!!" type vids look like when nobody is going crazy. And Britney living here actually explains quite a bit.
D. Have settled and finally built a Crossfit workout set for strength that incorporates a lot of insane shit but I've walked through one set and survived. This is the way for me to go because it can be done in a very short amount of time (20 min or less) and basically beats the fuck out of your whole body rather than focusing on specific muscles. Note to those of you who are looking to build some strength and get in endurance sport shape over the winter...check this shit out. If its good enough for the Navy SEALs, it's good enough for you!
So tomorrow I fly back to Chicago, get some groceries (cos i'm totally dry) and hoping against all hope I can actually wake up Monday morning and start burning off all thsi fucking food 'n margaritas I've been inhaling all week.
