this happened a WHILE back on aim when jerm was still @home... but it was so friggin funny that when i pulled up the .txt file i had to break out in laughter... here we go... (caution: do NOT read if you do NOT like having too much bad imagery shoved in your mind...)

jerm: hey. rich.. where do you buy your sheet music from?
me: i don't haha
jerm: oh. lol darn
me: well, when i was still in violin, maybe from world of music
me: but unlikely, seeing my last violin teacher just photocopied my music
jerm: haha
jerm: i had the same teacher as yu
jerm: he would just walk outside to the copier
jerm: and the thing would move left then right
jerm: it was annoying. for me at least haha
me: haha
me: haha me and sam were talking about me adding weight training to my hops program, then i suggested swimming
me: and then we just sorta started talking about swimming
me: did you ever get 1st in your comp?
jerm: haha
jerm: yea
jerm: all the time
jerm: butterfly and backstroke
jerm: actually i only got first like 4 times.. haha
jerm: i got mostly 5ths and 7ths
me: i see
me: but that's still good; i never got 1st... EVER
jerm: really??
jerm: that's proly cuz you swam at the hard meets
me: i think once, if i had chosen to do 100 m backstroke, i would've gotten 1st
me: cause there were only 2 swimmers in my age group that day
me: haha
me: and so i would've swam backstroke solo :-D
jerm: lol
me: but i did get 4th at a finals, so i guess that counts for something
me: i forgot the exact name of the swim meet then, but yea, that was cool, although i took it hard on myself that i could've got better
jerm: haha
jerm: i think you woulda been good at breaststroke
me: haha just like tim duncan :-)
me: i wanted to be better at butterfly, but i just don't have the arm strength or the ab strength
jerm: haha butterfly is sooo hard
me: i'd maybe get about 40 yrds in good form, and then i'd fall apart
jerm: haha
jerm: that's why when i dive i spend like half the lap underwater
jerm: and then sprint the last half
jerm: and win heheh
me: haha
me: i had this thing i used to do during swim meets
me: to get myself to burst
me: like maybe about 10 yrds outside of the other side, i'd stop coming up to breathe
me: and tell myself not to breathe til i get to the wall
me: so in that sense, it forces you to swim that much harder to get to the wall
jerm: haha
jerm: but you lose sooo much oxygen
me: heh
me: not really
jerm: lol
me: although it works great for freestyle
jerm: your just lucky.. you didn't go like won't breathe until wall
jerm: and faint ahaa
me: not so good w/butterfly
me: i think the breathing is part psychological
jerm: haha
me: when you start getting excited, you start needing to come up for air a bit more
jerm: but your workign your muscles so hard
me: if you just calm down your mind, you can push a bit more underwater
me: true, true
me: but i think part of the burning in swimming naturally comes from your lungs
jerm: yea
me: since swimming's prob the only sport where you have that additional factor of oxygen to worry about
jerm: but once you swim a lot. your lungs expands a lot and you can hold more
me: that's true, so more time underwater :-)
me: now you start not breathing @20 yrds out :-)
jerm: haha
me: man, so wish it was high school again
me: i would've tried to stay on the sunnyvale swim team
jerm: hehe
jerm: i woulda stayed on DACA
jerm: and not gotten so fat
me: instead of opting out
me: cause the main reason i quit was cause i thought i took so much timeout of hw
me: but it's not like i used my time wisely after that anyways
jerm: oh
jerm: hahaha
jerm: if we only knew how to mangae our time wisely
me: i'm sure you would've benefitted from swimming a couple extra years too
jerm: yea
jerm: wouldn't have gained so much weight
me: haha i never got to swim against you
me: i went to daca for a meet once though
me: but i got burned
jerm: haha
me: everybody at daca's so good i think
jerm: maybe it was by ME!
me: haha
me: prob
me: wouldn't be surprised
jerm: lol
me: plus i miss the good ol days when ppl wouldn't mock you for wearing a speedo ohimean thong
me: haha
jerm: hha
jerm: mine wore down near the crotch/butt area once
jerm: and i didn't know
me: haha
jerm: so i bent over to dive
jerm: and ppl behind me were like.. OMG I SEE YOU JEREMY I SEE YOUR PRIVATES
jerm: AND YOUR BUTTCRACK
me: hahahahahahahahhahahahahha
jerm: i was like wha???
jerm: and hella embarassed..
jerm: i hella messed up my dive and went belly flop
jerm: hhe.. good 'ol days
me: dude, have i ever told you when my speedo got RAGGED UP?
jerm: nope!
me: shoot man, worst 2 hrs of my life
me: basically, my speedo got pretty damn ripped up usually
me: but i never really consider it, cause, it never gets that bad
me: but once it started ripping pretty badly in the back
jerm: haha
jerm: ripping???
jerm: lol
me: and so the other guys kept going "hey rich i can see your crack" one practice
me: but i was too timid to tell the coach i wanted to quit for the day cause my speedo was ripped up in the back showing off my butt
me: so i just kept swimming
me: and it just got worse
me: shoot man why did i even wear that thing? i should've just swam naked, it would've been the same thing
me: and every time i finished a set i would like turn my back so it faced the wall so ppl wouldn't see, but they knew, oh they knew
jerm: hahaha
me: and just kept making fun of me :-)
jerm: LOL
jerm: it was ripping!!??!!!
jerm: lol
me: yea
jerm: pretty much you were just swimming w/ a loincloth ahha
me: from top to bottom... in the back
me: pretty much
me: i'm only glad the coach didn't laugh at me
jerm: how'd you get out of the pool?
me: that would've done it in
jerm: hehe
me: jumped and ran :-)
me: for the locker :-)
jerm: hahaa
me: covering my ass with my hand
jerm: lol i can seey ou doign that for some reason eheh
me: and THEN for the stupidest reason i still want to have a shower
me: so you know how like swim showers are all together in one place?
me: more mockery and shame for me
jerm: yup
jerm: lol
me: yea...
jerm: shoulda jsut showered naked =)
me: haha
me: eh, why not... should've, would've been the same
jerm: roflmao
me: well, the only plus side was that the speedo did cover my privates
jerm: this definitely desereves a roflmao
me: like adam w/fig leaves :-)
me: now i know how he must've felt after eating that apple
me: damn adam, if he didn't eat that apple, i would've felt NO SHAME
jerm: hahahahahaa
jerm: alrite time for me to sleep
jerm: i'll ttyl
jerm: have a goodngiht
me: later man
