Wow I just read on the PlayStation Blog that the PlayStation Portable is going to get a firmware upgrade to 5.0 which will allow you to go to the PlayStation Store using the PSP to buy and download games, demos, wallpaper, themes etc. All you have to do is sign in to your account and they keep your credit card info so you just buy something and you don't need to worry about entering your credit card info. Which is actually dangerous unless you have a very very good password with at least 20 digits with random letters, numbers and symbols.
Ok so I just went to the PlayStation Store website and it says that the website is going to be down until late October cause they are totally redesigning the website so you can download to your PSP or PS3. How will they make any money if their website isn't operational for 2 weeks? LOL.
Wow I just read the full blog and they are also adding a full keyboard for texting instead of like a phone. That's pretty cool and I can't wait for that. It will make texting on the PSP much easier I think. They are also adding a sleep timer that can be used for playing music on the PSP. I am not quite sure what that means, maybe if you set it for 1 hour then in 1 hour the PSP goes into sleep mode so you don't waste your battery. Like if you have to have music on when you go to bed. I actually like that idea because I do like to hear music when I go to sleep but don't want it to run all night.

Longer, Harder and Uncut
Ok. I rode the bike 2 minutes longer than yesterday so 17 minutes. Actually it was 17 minutes and 23 seconds but whose counting? (ME!)
I thought the ride would get harder because when you push yourself to go that extra block you use more energy to get there. Well, when I got to Eye st. I decided to just keep going to Chester and I made it so then I was able to turn right and go back to 3rd. It was actually easier coming home on Chester than it was going to California on H. Maybe because I knew I was coming home.
Hmmmm, let's see, what is uncut... Well, this blog is, there are no commercials. So there :-P
By the way, going from Eye to H to California to Chester to 3rd then back to Eye was only 1.6 miles and I've been going 1.5 miles turning on Eye instead of going to chester while on California. I know, 0.1 mile is not a lot and 2 min extra is not a lot but I started out with 15 min for 2 days then got to 17 min. Who knows, tomorrow I might do 17 min again or I might do 20 min and 1.7 miles. The point is that I'm getting my legs used to the work. The first day my legs were in agony, I could barely move. Of course today when I came home I could barely walk, I looked like i was an old man using a walker again lol. But that's what it takes to get the muscles back into shape. A little pain at the beginning so I can go the distance with no pain at all. That's why they say "no pain, no gain".
I remember as a teenager riding my bike to school in the morning and not being the least bit tired from the bike ride, then riding home, putting my McDonald's uniform on and going back out the door on my bike to work. When I got there I had no pain in my legs because I was so used to riding a bike that my legs were never in any pain from it. I think because I was so thin back then helped my case because I have 100lbs more than I did 22 years ago.
Also when I was 22-23 years old and I rode my bike from North Hollywood all the way to Hollywood and I did that several times a week too and it would take maybe an hour but it didn't matter, I was never in any pain. And I never had a water bottle with me because it wasn't that hard that I needed water. Although now that I think about it I probably could've used a water bottle lol. But that trip was uphill and downhill and curvey.
Oh and when I was 19 and I lived in Canoga Park I used to ride my bike once in awhile on the Santa Susanna Pass going to Simi Valley to visit my Aunt Betty at Ralph's. That never even phazed me. Although I was a bit winded, I needed water lol. But I got through it no problem and the ride home was a breeze because it was uphill the entire way there so it was downhill the entire way home.

Today's bike ride
I did the same thing as yesterday. I couldn't go any further. I was looking at the street signs this time and it was 7th street when my legs started straining. I only live on 3rd so that's only a few blocks lol.
Anyway, I brought my step counter this time because it has a stop watch on it and I did 14 minutes total. And I was in the wrong gear by the way. That's why my legs are struggling to keep me standing up when I get up. When I realized the lower gear was a asset I kept it. So tomorrow morning when I go out the bike will be in the right gear and I won't have to struggle to ride and maybe, just maybe, I can go further.

COLD!!!
It's 6:53am. I woke up at 6am and have been waiting for the sun to come up before I go bike riding because my light doesn't work right and it kinda broke actually. And I don't have a back light so I'm waiting for the sun before I go out. The sun is coming up now though but I'm hesitant to go out because it's 43 degrees outside. CHILLY!!! But, I realized I have thermal underwear. I hope that keeps me warm hehe.
True Blood on HBO
True Blood was a nice addition to the vampire world. However, I'm not sure I like the direction they are going. Last week at the end of the episode I was just pissed off that they killed Sookie's grandmother. Her character gave the show real southern charm. I thought she was a great character because even though she was an older woman she wasn't prejudice against the vampires like all the other people her or near her age. And her curiosity for vampires is what got her killed.
I still like the show, I'm just a little upset right now. Everytime I see something bad happen to a main character I think it's a dream or a prediction but then they don't wake up and it's real. I hope they don't kill too many more main characters cause the cast is dwindling down very fast lol.

PAIN
Ok. First off Chip woke me up at 6am because the pain was too great in his stomach and he needed to go to the E.R. He told me he was having a heart attack. He wasn't thank goodness. The doctor gave him some meds for his stomach pain and we were on our way. Ok that was Chips pain.
Now for my pain. When we came home from the hospital Chip got ready for church and then left. I on the other hand geared up for what I thought was going to be a long bike ride but turned into a 20 minute bike ride, if that. I put my sunglasses onto my glasses then strapped on the helmet then put the ear buds in so I could listen to Gavin Degraw's latest self titled CD in my Dell DJ so the ride would be at least tolerable.
I go down H street from 3rd and I'm nearing the Catholic church which is like 10th street or something, I remember seeing 11th street as I was passing the church but just before I started to get near it I could feel my upper front legs just tightening up from the stress I was putting on them from the ride. I don't know, maybe I wasn't in the right gear or something but my legs were in pain.
I had to push myself to get to California Ave though so I could say I tried. As soon as I got to California Avenue I sighed a big sigh of relief. Then I had to turn right and Eye street wasn't too far then I could turn right and go back to 3rd st. Now keep in mind, I didn't go very far.
I finally got home, took of that hot helmet and I swear to science that my legs were in so much pain I was walking like an old man in a retirement home using a walker. Flower was so happy to see me that she was jumping up on my back legs trying to show her love and trying to get me to pick her up but I could barely walk much less bend over to pick up a toy chihuahua.
I'm glad it's over BUT... I gotta try again tomorrow. If I can get to California avenue and not be in so much pain then I can keep going, maybe to Truxton lol. The song I was on was just track 5 so you know that I wasn't gone long lol. Maybe tomorrow I will get to track 6.
This is a cropped image from Google Maps of today's short route hehe. It was 1.5 miles by the way.
