Samurai, Without Ever Having Felt Sorry For Itself

[alicat32]

Your poses are so great

I hope the healing is going well. I really liked the lion shirt you had on the previous set of pictures!

[ElrondHubbard]

Ha! Holstein, eh? Well, I think you're as strong as an ox! Nice shirt, though.

It's still amazing that it's warm enough to dress like that in January at your latitude!

[Samraiwise]

You look like a lean mean Karate machine, keep up the work, you are not a holstein.

By saying "you are not a holstein", unintentionally you are implying "Kaz may be a holstein", LOL. Just kidding! I'm a lean mean Karate machine!!

Your poses are so great

I hope the healing is going well. I really liked the lion shirt you had on the previous set of pictures!

Ali, you are so generous, thank you!! *bow*

Lion Shirt is my favorite too!!

LOL, Dave you are very tactful!

While jogging, I wear both long-sleeve shirt and windbreaker. It's only during my photo session that I wear A-shirt. And I only do it when sun is shining! Winter here is mild but not that mild, brr.....

This is the first ruck marching since March, 1st. I hoisted my backpack very carefully each time. The day's temp were too warm and I took off my long-sleeve. Heavy backback wearing only A-shirt was a mistake. It caused chafing on my shoulder. Every time I put my backpack down, I winced with pain. Sorry my whimpering.....

I ordered a pair of Velcro Shoulder Pads at Amazon, hoping it would work.

Not sure if your "rehab" bench press numbers are reduced from your usual numbers, but these are solid numbers regardless!!!

good morning, brother! that photo makes it look as if you ruck with the bar and plates attached to the rucksack!! triple-tough, not just double-tough!

sending you an email after work tonight. just a heads up.

[/QUOTE]It is not? I thought that was how he was adding weight. It would explain why we never see picks of Kaz rucking around other people.

There's just something about seeing you posing in that lion shirt that brings a huge smile to my face, Kaz.

Good to see you progressing with rehab, your lifts, and your rucking too.

[jreacher]

Kaz, I've been thinking about you lately. I hope you are doing well.

I've been working about 60 hours a week so my workouts and reading have been neglected a little bit. The book I am reading now, Out of the Dark by Gregg Hurwitz, mentioned a KAZ sushi place. I figured that was a sign that I should check in on your thread. Haha.

[grouchyjarhead]

Kaz my friend, still hard at work. Impressive as always. Great idea on the shoulder pads!

Guyz, LOL. But I'm really happy to be able to ruck again. Though I don't know the reason when I ruck my hip (sciatic nerve) pain subsides, while I jog it flares up. So it seems an ideal combination would be to alternate ruck and jog. So during those three weeks my hip condition too continually deteriorated without any ruck marching. But now it's fine. *sigh of relief*

There's just something about seeing you posing in that lion shirt that brings a huge smile to my face, Kaz.

Because that's what you are, a lion yourself.

Musashi would be proud, keeping alive the way of the sword in our own way

Oh hi brother, thanks for kind words, I appreciate it! *bow*

my brother is tough enough to do it, though!

Lady, you are the tougher one now I know. *bow and smile*

I feel you brother. A really tough world out there for people like you, people with a soft (I mean gentle) heart. You are a good husband and great father I wish I'd be in another life. I hope that sign you saw at the sushi place also means a good omen for both of us. *bow*

Kaz my friend, still hard at work. Impressive as always. Great idea on the shoulder pads!

Thank you Brother, How's your biceps tendon tear. Hope yours is getting better. Yes, shoulder pads work! It's washable too! I think I'm ready for a sweaty Summer ruck! (to be free from the stink too, which only we could know!) *wink*

*A Job Interview this day. It turned out that both the pay and the working condition are pretty bad. So I declined. For receiving unemployment insurance check, I must have two job application or interviews in every four weeks. Beggars can't be choosers.

Spoiler!

And Japanese government made my generations beggars. We were supposed to receive pension money from our retirement age 60 but now it's 65. I don't know how could I survive another 5 years, because every company's official retirement age remains 60 and they won't hire people who is over 60 or near 60 for obvious reason. You can't hire people who is already over their retirement age. This is all because of the government's botched and illeagal pension money investment scandal years ago.

When the money offered by those companies are less than unemployment insurance check, what should we do? What would you do? Work for less money? or keep receiving more money as unemployment check than you will get for working honestly for a new job?

And I am ashamed of myself whimpering all about me always, while there always are people whose whole life is devoted to help other people and unfortunate children who cannot help themselves. I know as always I am not making much sense, I probably will never do and I'm sorry about that.

I'll take a breath.............ok, now I'm fine. Must be my old age and weak mind.

Looks like you are well on your way with your rehab. Best wishes to you, my friend!

[ElrondHubbard]

I feel your frustration, Kaz. I went through a long period of unemployment, and it irked me no end to know that potential employers were rejecting me because of my age, even though I was healthier and stronger than they were! I'm glad you're ot neglecting your training, though. That's one thing that really helped me get through it.

Keep at it, Kaz. I'm hopeful the pain will soon subside. But don't be ashamed to relax the weight load if you feel the need!

[Payton1221]

Strength is still there but so is the pain.

Is the pain only while doing the movement or is it 24/7?

[Athena]

sorry to hear you're still experiencing pain. maybe it's time to rest for a few weeks? just do some stretching but no lifting?

Dave, Mark and Athi, thanks for your concern. It will be a slow process but they will heal eventually, left elbow, right biceps and chronicle left shoulder pain. I've been just trying to find the best workout intensity, volume and frequency or their combination for the recovery. So I'm monitoring closely my pain level during and after each workout.

---------------------------------------

Busy 10 days, I had six job interviews but no success so far. Some they don't like me, about my age and gender and the rest I don't like them for mostly bad working conditions. My skill sets are English, PC and being healthy(!). I applied for an internet shopping site management job. But they want a younger female who knows jewelry and apparel well, my mistake. Others were another very dubious web site, Cable TV company's assistant, a repo man for a gas company (just notifying people who are behind in their payment), a guide at Tokyo Waterworks Historical Museum, office building management worker (another name for a janitor), etc....

At night during those days, I spent time watching movies, a lot of romantic comedies and musicals enjoying a lot of booze.......
Must be my age, can't sleep, tend to wake up too early......

I have another interview today, with an IT company for a job of setting PCs for their clients. Wish me luck, I need it. Later if I'm not that tired I'd update my journal.

[bamazav]

Kaz my brother, I know the stress of being without work. I am lifting you up in prayer. Praying for a job and that your aches and pains will dissipate.

Take care of yourself! But have fun doing it.

[ElrondHubbard]

Seconded. You are winnowing out the chaff. You'll find the right match eventually. And you WILL get better. Just don't let the booze get in the way of that, or of your sleep!

Kaz my brother, I know the stress of being without work. I am lifting you up in prayer. Praying for a job and that your aches and pains will dissipate.
Take care of yourself! But have fun doing it.

Seconded. You are winnowing out the chaff. You'll find the right match eventually. And you WILL get better. Just don't let the booze get in the way of that, or of your sleep!

David and Dave, thank you for the support and the encouragement. I really appreciate that. *bow*

Usually I put my res to the friend's post first but the error occurred, so I changed the order and that worked. A few month back this started frequently and many of my friends here also are complaining about the same trouble now.



And I removed this part from the post above because the site has never allowed me to post with this in it.

BTW, actually I like the picture of that woman in that error msg. I think that's a good news.

...........or not.
