Only donkeys make the same mistake twice






A donkey is only foolish enough to commit the same dumb mistake twice.........


And since what has happened yesterday, you can address me 'dumbass donkey' too

Weekend = football = exercising in a group in the outdoor (which is much more jolly fun than jogging alone or sweating oneself out to exhaustion at the local gym).

Few guys of us were juggling with the ball in a circle, heading the ball to eachother...trying to keep the ball in play, which was mighty fun, but ofcourse from time to time the ball went astray and we had to retrieve it and re-do the routine again.

First let me tell you, what you see on the tele, those professional players performing their acrobats.......never ever perform them yourself, you might get yourself hurt.

And yeah, this 'donkey' here, thought he could retrieve a stray ball by trying to perform a 'bicycle kick'.

What I forgot during the heat of the work-out is that I forgot my age again. Being a 40-year old fella, means that my athleticism is way, way offline. So instead of perfectly hitting the ball and landing graciously, I fell like a ton of bricks on the back of my head.........AGAIN !!! (see previous post , http://yuenslair.blogspot.com/2008/10/hard-learned-lesson.html )
Grmmmbbbllllll,........what the heck was I thinking off, attempting such a move at my age. I should count my blessings though as there was no visible damage on the back of my head, apart from a lump, and the feeling that the little bit of brain mass that I have left, has moved more towards my fronthead, resulting in a throbbing feeling for a few days (aka : major headache).
Sigh, when will I learn my lesson? Apparently not.....a protective headgear is a prudent option though. Might look silly on my head, but better that than becoming 'dumb' for the remainder of my life.
