After lifting slightly more than you thought possible for slightly longer than you thought possible, you feel temporarily weak but are filled with a sense of lasting strength.
At least I have found this. The ad team for the US Military has also found this. Somehow, I don’t mean the same thing they do.

I leave Columbia in ten minutes. In three day here, I saw more familiar people than I remembered and most of the time my disposition was that of a resident rather than a visitor. I can see why people stick around. You get to remain on the current.
At the football game from our non-student section seats I saw our senior class president in the student seats. He had a Mizzou beanie and a Mizzou long sleeve t-shirt and was standing with a group of four interchangeable Mizzou students (by which I mean they had the uniforms — north face and greek letters and the like). I don’t know what his situation is, whether he too was just back for a couple days and then he will return to a new life he is building. But I doubt it. I think the current kept him. I’m stretching this analogy thin already, but I want to be the sort of person who can choose to climb to shore and turn in any direction I choose.
We are back in Columbia, where I graduated from college only a few months ago. We’ll be here for a few days, mostly just because.
I thought about how it would feel. It feels invigorating, and that was far from any of my thoughts.
this track.
At least that’s what I’ve found.
I know some very smart, thoughtful people who feel differently, but I believe you can make a sound argument that any band is good or bad or anywhere in between. There’s just way too much contradictory criteria in gauging quality.
This idea is liberating.
I’m just gonna post stuff I like for a little while here.
