how many times did batman fall?

yes. i have fallen off the wagon. that is to say, i haven't exercised once this week. i have been so tired that i barely have the energy to continue making excuses. first it was the change to daylight savings time, which was only a part of the problem. then it was that my foot hurt. now i'm waiting to find some good shoes that don't hurt my feet, but that ignores the exercise bike.

of course, now that our 10:30pm show is no longer on, i can get to sleep earlier, and thus have a better hope of escaping the pull of my bed. i'll continue to look for good running shoes, and the change to replace the seat on the exercise bike.

talk about a total joke. if they don't want you to use it, why build it? or why bother with the hard, malformed, flat seat? would it really cost that much more to put a regular bike saddle on it? one that you can adjust the angle, etc. at least that way you could replace the stock saddle with a nice one... sorry. the seat is a joke, so i basically have to remove the "seat" and weld a post onto the base, so i can fit a nice bike saddle on it.

anyway, i want to get these little projects done, and i want to succeed at this. i don't like being lazy. (it's just easier than not) i don't like being fat. (i'd just rather eat than exercise) and more importantly, i want to learn from this latest fall from my path. like batman did. i don't know how often bruce wayne fell, but he obviously learned the lesson, because now he's batman. and really, if i can't learn from batman, who can i learn from? i am, of course, referring to the question repeated in "batman begins," from which we can all learn.

"why do we fall bruce? so we can learn to pick ourselves up."
