“Fundamentals are the crutch for the talentless.” – Kenny Powers
19 Pax showed up to start their week off with a little Monday morning beatdown. There were plenty of fundamentals, but also a boatload of unconventional. And, for reasons which I can not explain, there were lots of animals, and not a single burpee. Here’s how it all played out:

– Good to see my boy Country Wide in the gloom. Think we’ve just been going to different sites. But Kotters anyway, brother. It was also good catching up at Coffeteria. Except for that creepy woman.
– Always great to have Yoda yelling at you. Even if he skinned his knee on the warm up lap. “Are we ever going to stop running?” YEAH YODA!
– Deuce was cranking the mining lamp early on, so of course we questioned him on it. Then Yoda ate pavement in the dark, and Deuce shed light on who really had the answers.
– With an odd number I made the mistake of shadowing Weezy. Dude is freaky fast. He left YHC weezing in the dust.
– Country Wide tried to pull an Orwell on YHC. Had to stomp that out real fast. Enjoyed that.
– Hill Repeats were cut short, not because we were out of time, which we were, but because some old dude drove up to the parking lot in his beater Chrysler LeBaron (correct me here) and proceeded to just park at the entrance to the tennis courts. We all ran around him, headed to Mary, and eventually he got the hell out of Dodge. Wait was it a Dodge Mirada, circa 1980?
– Lots of car talk today. Villa is now officially driving the F150 as the Subaru was laid to rest by Mathew’s destruction. It fits him better anyway. Now all you need are some ultra bright off-road lights mounted to the top like…who was that that peeled out in their pickup truck with spotlights blinding the remaining Pax, including YHC? Tube Sock? MCO? Shout out below.
– Speaking of which, lots of newer guys out today, which is also awesome. Great freakin’ names too. Dry Socket, Tube Sock, Jock Strap, Mustard Chili Onions, Tiny Dancer. If you were reading this, and weren’t in F3, you’d think we had some serious mental issues. Actually, we do have issues.
“Some say change is the hardest thing in the world. They say that whoever you are, you’re stuck being that person ’til you’re dead. The transformation from worm to butterfly is nature’s ultimate metamorphosis. The change into your ultimate self is easy when there’s no other option. You look back at the past at the man you were, and you’re like, “Man, f*** that little b*tch. F*** that b*tcha** life.” Then you peer into the future’s mist and get just a glance at the future you, all strong and rich, getting your f***ing come up, and you’re like, “Aw, hell yeah, that’s the motherf***ing man I’m becoming. That’s the f***ing man I wants to be.” ‘Cause a real man knows there’s only one direction to face, and that’s f***ing forward.” – Kenny F***ing Powers
Had a good time today gents. See you in the gloom.
