The Soapbox* (or Sport ist Mord)

*steps on the soapbox*

*scratches her head*

*steps off the soapbox*

*steps on the soapbox*

*looks around*

*steps off the soapbox*

*steps on the soapbox*

*thinks for a few minutes*

*steps off the soapbox*

*wipes the sweat from her brow*


Phew, that was enough excercise for one day.

Yes, folks, that would be me exerting mental energy in deep contemplation of complicated life issues in complicated foreign languages, while simultaneously attempting to decide whether or not to stand on the soapbox to preach about certain issues and concerns, while simultaneously simultaneously (yes, this redundancy was madly and deliberately executed) exerting physical energy, which has supposed health benefits.

Though I tend to think that "Sport ist Mord" ("Sports is Death"... but it rhymes in German and thus sounds better).

Well, at least you're getting some physical exercise, which is more than I can say for myself. :-) When you decide to expound upon your mental deliberations, I would very much enjoy hearing them.

I think you could make a lot of money making a soapbox we could use as a stepper while concurrently alleviating our need to pontificate.

Sarah - unfortunately, my physical excercise is imaginary... but at least there are no resulting muscle cramps and strains and such.

Rori - not a bad idea...
