This is A Distraction
Hello, I'm watching cheerleaders.
(There's a cheerleader competition thing on ESPN right now where a buncha cheerleaders in cheerleader uniforms do flips and splits and acrobatic kicks with pom-poms in their fists all..)
Gimme an H!
H
Gimme an i!
i
Gimme a V!

What's that spell??
You forgot the ~E asshol!
I hate TV's in the gym. Unlike for all the woke folk tuned in. I unlike them to death.
I could be in the middle of cardio which I am now or something else, doesn't matter, there's TV's all over this place waiting to distract me. War, natural disaster, weather, mass-shooting; LEAVE ME ALONE, TV!!! And then they go and put a buncha college girls on one jumping around in their little cheerleader uniforms like I'm supposed to be able to keep count of whatever I was doing a second ago.
The Iowa State girls killed it!
There's no volume. They play gospel music in this gym, my earbuds have drum and bass as loud as they'll go. Flipping and twisting, dancing and :pause:
And then pick back up again without missing a beat.
They threw a girl from one side of the stage to the other and then another girl the other way. They both did a back flip / toe touch thing through the air—killed it.
According to the judges, however, DanDays knows zero point zero about cheerleading cuz Iowa State didn't even place which means yes, I watched the whole thing. I got nothing else accomplished in the gym today. I stayed on the treadmill the whole competition all the way through to the results.
Hey, the University of Tennessee girls are next, that's cool, they're on the other side of the street. Just across the Appalachian's to the light purple one on the right.
They didn't do near as many twisting twirly things as the Iowa State girls. They ran in place a lot, kicked their legs real high and played catch with their pom-pom's, next!
They got 3rd place.
Whatever. I never claimed to be an expert at it. If it wasn't on the TV, I wouldn't have to watch it for all the wrong reasons.
Ohio State sucked. That's what I wrote down, I don't remember which one they were. I wrote they sucked and then didn't say anything else about them until the results where once again I scored a zero point zero cuz Ohio State took home the 2nd place trophy.
I nailed first place though—University of Minnesota. They were next level. Michigan killed it, too. Second place, I thought, for sure said no one else—didn't even place.
The University of Minnesota girls took first place like look the fuck out Jabbawockeez. Those other schools had about as much of a chance at the U of M girls as M E getting anything else done in there today. I don't know how long that competition was but I watched the whole thing.
Stupid TV.
Sometimes, it's good to have fun and watch some sport. That's why I love to watch sport to while away time. Hope you had fun watching?
Or, all the time. When it's bad I don't want to know. Goooo Team!
lol, thats the spirit. lol
If Dandays post doesn't make you laugh then you need to check yourself🤣🤣🤣
How can you be so funny effortlessly, you don't try too hard yet you make us laugh!

That's the nicest thing you've said to me all day. Thank you. But what do you mean, funny? I was totally being serious. = }
Lol I know but it sounded funny😁
Between me and you, it's just us here, right? I'll take all the encouragement I can get, thank you more than THIS. What you see isn't what I'm accustom to. I've still never been to any of the other social internet things so I'm a work in progress. I built tower cranes for 20 years, public anything isn't my thing. It's all practice. The post button is my nemesis, hate that thing almost as much as TV's in gyms. It's never an easy button.
When I know it's not just me who think it's funny, I give long winded explanations like this cuz sometimes thank you is kinda weak.
<3
I get it😃
Truly "thank you" can be kinda week sometimes but I feel people resorts to that when they are speechless.
Thanks for the update on the competition 👍 lol
I wonder how many cheerleaders get seriously injured each season hurling across a gym or stage?
Great question Leaky. I wonder the same thing. For that we'll go to our floor correspondent, Jill. Jill, roughly how many cheerleaders experience injuries during the season?
= }
Good to see I 'm not the only one who sometimes gets into the hypnotic braincatching trap of a flat screen.
Why am I watching this
Sshhhhhh dont think
But why?
Dont ask. Dont think.
Okay...
Hm???
Because its a good way to be nowhere for a moment
A moment? Felt like half a day. <3
Hello Ms Beeber. I hope you feel better now than you have all year.
We haven't owned a TV since 2017. I used to love it. I'd watch all kinda acronyms—AGT, NFL, etc. Haven't missed any of them. At the gym though? Distraction.
Thank you, I feel okay and hope the same for you ❤️
wow! They really did knock it out of the park! Like you, I never would have caught this unless someone pushed it into my face, as you kinda just did, and I'm glad.
Had they not been that good I probably wouldn't have put this together. Glad it's not just me.
Fun fact:
I had a surprisingly and totally unexpectedly good time asking people like Pura even, you got any photos of cheerleaders? = }. I would've used one for the cover.
Either no one would admit it or I asked the wrong people like @coloneljethro and @nineclaws so I went with :pause:
Anything I say may potentially be used against me in shady curtain conversations.
Who cares, we'll all be dead in less than 100 years anyway.
Probably but it's best not to assume, right?
That's not an assumption, it's a fact. You, me, whoever's tuned in—dead in less than 100 years.
Own it. Dude I got less than 50. I don't make the rules.
Hey, I'm going for 200, it's a goal. I will make a blog series out of it after I turn 100!
We will see how things pan out 😉
It's your story, tell it however you want. = }
Mine's never fast enough, just writing the shit out of it like all I got left is less than a 1/2 century to take it all in.
Must admit I was a bit perplexed that you thought I was likely to have something like that. Got cheerleaders for all sorts of things but no actual cheerleaders.
Figured a photographer would have a photo of whatever I needed. That's ok, Paris subways always come through.
M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A. MINNESOTA. MINNESOTA. GOOOOOOOOOOOO GOPHERS!!!!!!
We have no problem winning the WNBA championship, or some college ones like hockey and volleyball. But when it comes to the pro's, it's always a let down.
Hey, at least you MADE it to the gym.
I know a Prince fan when I see one.
Whaddup man? Long time no this.
I'm a nerd about that place. I'll go there sometimes just to respond here. The TV's though, oh dude. And they're everywhere! CNN.. Fox.. God, they all have a Pat Summerall type channel in deez'eer parts mmkay, ESPN.
...Little tickers with stocks in green at the bottom...
A mountain falling into the ocean.
Stupid TV.
Hahaha such a distraction in the gym… 🤣😂 oh my I can picture it.
How dare they to put cheerleading on the tv.
How dare they put tv’s in the gym. Horrible things… Not even being able to hear it.
Hope you are well and the arm is improving 👋🏻😊
!PIZZA
Can you believe the misery I subject myself to?! Terrible. Cheerleaders on a TV in the gym.. On a Wednesday of all thing. Really, a Wednesday! If that doesn't mean the end of the world, I don't know what does.
Oh I can imagine @dandays 😋 TERRIBLE
On a Wednesday of all days how dare they hehehe 🤭
You could be right there… the end is near…. Run to the hills… 😂🤣

T.V........! That's a great distraction. I thought I lacked discipline as I can't resist watching it when it is played without my desire. Thank God! I am not alone 😇. Somebody across the seas stands with me 😜

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you. And thanks for telling me. Each time I release these things I'm I hope it's not just me who thinks it's funny.
Last time I lived in California was 2017. That was the last time I had a TV. That was about the same time I stopped watching the NFL. Not surprisingly, I haven't been in need of a TV since.
The gym ones, though, man I hate those things. = }
There was a time when I was so fond of watching TV. Then some changes in life made me quit those urges. I have a T.V in my bed room. I never switch it on.
Nevertheless, I live in a joint family and there are other TVs too. When they sre switched on, I do get distracted 😒
I'm not completely innocent. We fall asleep to whatever show my wife puts on the computer. It's her computer though, all bright and rectangular, keyboard and a cord thingy, I don't even know how to turn it on.
Why I don't feel like believing it 😇

Like your rhythm. You'd be a Beat if we were older. Or dead, I suppose. :)
The Appalachians, huh? Watched a doccie on a woman who ran that trail. That's some kinda inspiration
Good you got to the gym. And yep. We're currently living Total Recall apparently. Screens everywhere and all over.
Not on that Appalachian trail though...
Hello, you. Thanks for checking me out. How old or dead do you prefer? This is all virtual, I can be anything I want. = }
I've only known a couple Nicole's. They were dope! Can't say that about names like Lisa.
It's not a bad place, here, wherever the hell I am. Still get some decent seafood and privacy is plentiful at about 1/16 the price of California. We got a 10 year plan here, capitalize on some this's and that's and then go back. When all my friends don't have to work anymore.
Only thing I didn't account for back in 1995 when they told me I needed 37,500 hours to fully retire was all my buddies did other shit so they'll have to work til their 62 (plus or minus).
It's my birthday right now.
Oh fuck... I missed your birthday :(
I used to be really good at shit like birthdays and then the earth became a stupid place to reside and human beings better to avoid. Things like birthdays and valentine's day went along with the rest.
Still... I'm sorry I missed your birthday. I hope you had cake and let them eat cake too! Cake forever! 💥🎂 (!)
Did you have a good one? :D
The pleasure is all mine to find interesting humans doing interesting things differently. Gives me a liddle hope again. So purely selfish, really.
You have a plan?! I'm impressed! I hope it works out swimmingly and your buddies get to retire as well. Not much hope of any of that here at the moment. But we don't mention the war, right now. It's too fucking depressing. And I'm sober.
Your plan sounds hopeful again though. 👍
Sending belated warmth and wishes from the Cape.
Hey I'm sober too. Congratulations, you. I don't count weed. And thanks! Like it's my birthday all over again.
Glad you got back. I mean, take all the time you need, it's better than ghosting, I was.. wtf did I do this time?
= }
I'm the worst though. Holidays are cool, everyone else's birthdays are cool. Mine are cool, too. When it's over.
:D "When it's over"
I hear you. I don't like all the fuss either. Kinda shy and it makes me feel weird to have eyes on me.
I never ghost people. Even when they should be ghosted. It's against my principles!
Yeah... moving slowly here because I want to keep the momentum going when I get going again. I get all excited and then can't contain the creative energy and burn out. I don't know if that changes for an arty person but I wasn't well and i don't want to end up there again. Bit of a wake up call. It sucks getting old to be clear. Once upon a time I would've bounced back in a day or so. Apparently those days are officially over.
Meh

You must be killin' it out here!
@thisismylife just slapped you with 5.000 PIMP, @dandays.
You earned 5.000 PIMP for the strong hand.
They're getting a workout and slapped 2/3 possible people today.
Read about some PIMP Shit or Look for the PIMP District
Hii!
Don't know how I missed this message. I mean, look at those eyelashes.
Is it really cheerleading if you there's no team they're cheering for, though?
For that one, we'll turn to our floor correspondent, Jill, she's backstage with the athletes now. Jill?
Jill: Thanks, Dan! That's a great question, one I think only the athletes can answer. Ladies, Just who is it that you're cheering for that allows you to call yourself cheerleaders? And while we're on that topic, do you consider yourselves all to be leaders? If so, where are you leading us?
Photo of rolling hillside to run in..., little confused doing it indoors watching girls. All I am aware of is these girls sure hurt when things go wrong, video looks more like mix of ballet with a little acrobatics involved?
Not energized enough, hit the roads, tackle the hills next time 🙃, running a treadmill is boring, race the train and have fun.
Have a great day!
I know where you're going.
Good morning, Joan. Thanks again for keeping up with me.
It's how I wake up. In all the places we've been, it's just what I do. Like coffee but not really. Training, cardio, or bice versa, fires up veins and lungs and stuff, not to mention work on content and respond ro comments.
By the time I get home, sun's about out dependinfbwhat month it is, Pura's just about awake. Atlas is at thw door with her leash in her mouth. Shower, eat, then the real miles begin
<3
Decisions, decisions, decisions....
Two coffee's to jump start the brain,
do some circles around square block, kick it under the bed,
yup then for some fun, lets chat!
Long yards 🙃
Got dang you know how to describe date night.
Have a good one! 🙃
Love the photo in the subway
I appreciate that more than this. I'm going to blow that one up, wall size, frame it one of these days. It's one of my favorite g rated image I have.

They used to call it the hiv, rhymes with give. It kinda just went away, though, like that other one back in 2020.
Much thanks dude. When I don't hear from for decent stretches, I hope you're alright out there hauling everyone's consumer obsessions across the country.
Reminds me of a race horse one time in Pasadena, back when I was a kid and would go to the track with grandpa—Hoof Hearted.
You know how fast they talk.. Hoof Hearted in the lead.. And Hoof Hearted around turn 2.. Hoof Hearted by a nose, et cetera.
Just do not get behind when Hooffarted...!
That's 1:03 I'll never get back.
How's the new kitty? The white one.
Uhhhggg... Good guys do not wear white.
Haha, funny! Stupid TV!! Blame the tv! 🙃😄😄
I love watching cheerleading to but mostly just here in my country but I've seen some from other countries too, blame YouTube! Haha
It's such a distracting thing—TV. Last time I owned one was 2017. Same time I stopped watching football, by the way, life is so different when you're not 110% engulfed in bets and season tickets and fantasy and wins and losses and...
How rude. I'm doing that thing where I bla bla about me me instead of the cheerleaders in the Philippines Wait!!
I mean empanadas. = }
Haha, it's okay no worries. Us also in the house we have tv but we Don't use it because you can all watch everything in your smart phones nowadays as long as you have data connection.
Empanadas, love them too!
Reminds me of a story. I should write about it.
Back home, in Long Beach, I would meet once a week with a Pilipino dude for Bible study at Panera Bread. We did that for awhile. Whoever got there first typically brought or got drinks for each other. Sandwiches, whatever else. Every once in awhile he'd bring us empanadas his wife made.
One time, he invited me to his place to practice. She made them fresh that night. O M G. I could do a whole post about those things.
Wonder how tf Armand's doing these days...
Oh you should write that story, sound interesting. Specially for a Filipino like me. So that's where you got the empanadas.
You should pay him a visit when you have the chance.😍
