I don't go to the gym at all. I drink beer and lose the calories by biking. I used to play football (our football), but my knees start to be in a quite bad condition due to a genetical defect. Might take up on that though again if I find a nice team.
My knee meniscuses and kneecaps are unusually weak. My dad who was a promising basketball player had his knees operated when he was like 22. Both my parental grandparents have had both of their knees operated with artificial kneecaps. For example when I play football, especially on artificial turf my knees ache terribly, like breaking up, before I get used to it. Biking again doesn't do any harm, as it doesn't put my body weight on my knees.
For example I can't sit in this position hardly at all before my knees start aching:
Bloody hell. My almost next-to-door Nepali neighbour is having a party tonight. Bloody foreignors, I didn't pay a low rent just to have some non-autistic social people living next to me. And the Nepali has exotic eyes too. The Ethiopian guy living on the same floor wasn't enough, now the Nepali guy is taking some role that I can't spend time with my own people. I think it's time to move in the middle of nowhere near Lahti where I can find inner peace and tailor my KKK-outfit.
e: now they invited me to their party. No thanks. I go to sleep at 23:00 and call the cops at 23:01, like every Owen or snj90 would do. Only one white person attends but me, so I would be a minority in my own country.
I can't believe the self-centered parents in the education forum. They think that the state should spend more money to advance their "gifted" kids (god, I hate that term) as opposed to devoting more resources to the not-so-smart kids.
This is America, the land of equality. And we've got a long, long ways to go to achieve our true ideal. Putting more resources towards people that do not need it is going backwards. It'd be like giving a millionaire more money just because they've got the skillz.
Good grief. I should have been born in 2066 instead of 1966. Society sure would make a whole lot more sense. Sigh. Next time.

Well, my parents divorced when I was 3. Though my mother is an economist and is paid very well, we were relegated to live in the ghettos of Helsinki. Elementary school was pure hell in that area, you had to fight every day for your honour and integrity. My so-called friend threatened me to slash my throat open just for fun when I was 8 years old.
My mother found my stepfather and we moved to the suburbs. I found new friends, but the same story continued. We were the troublemakers, undesirables, and whatever label they gave us.
At some point some of us didn't care anymore, and they turned to amphetamine. The rest of us decided that this has to stop, and a couple of my friends went to study in Sweden, while I came to Turku.
Gifted kids, good schools. Even us losers got into good schools.
