Thunder John on Vacation

August 20, 2010

65,000 pushups completed
935,000 pushups to go

1,473 pushups ahead of schedule

Recently finished a glorious week in Elk Rapids, Michigan, a saint's whisper from the 45th parallel. That's halfway between the equator and the north pole. If you were paying close attention, you may have felt a small shift in the corollis effect as the Earth's rotation was a little bit more stable that week. It's the result of these biceps being on the 45th parallel. I don't want to get into the science of it all but suffice it to say, items with this much bulk can cause the Earth to wobble a bit and I have to be very careful.

Below are some pictures of me passing the time on a sand bar in Torch Lake, 3rd most beautiful lake in the world according to National Geographic. Vacation? There is no vacation from pushups. If we are to believe the members of "Snap!" when they sang that Rhythm is a Dancer, then it is equally true that Pushups are the master. And I am the slave, nay, indentured servant, as my period of servitude expires on 12/31/2019 upon the completion of pushup #1000000. The world awaits, breath baited. And Thunder John abides.

Peace Out

Thunder John

Bringing the thunder, packing the pain, loaded with pushups, makin' it rain.

p.s. - notice that my non-sensical analogies as mentioned in post #1 have returned from sabbatical. feel the sting.
