Here we go: Happy Mothers Day, Mr. Kohara. I've got a weird one. My sister and I got my mom a $50 gift card from Godiva. The weird part was that we only payed $20 for it. Its like they are giving us thirty bucks. I don't get it... So I had Z Pizza twice this weekend. That was cool. And we won our lacrosse game today. That was also cool. We beat Punahou 4-1. That's all I'm going to say about my weekend. I don't wanna go overboard again. So its straight to the picture now, baby.
Okay. The picture. Wow. I am not a fan of this picture. Not a fan. I forgot to get a haircut this weekend. Not good. I always end up waiting like three weeks too long to got to the barber. My head looks like a porcupine mixed with a hampster. Also, much to my chagrin, my shirt is really really small. After wrestling season, I gained a lot of weight. A lot of weight. Most of my clothes don't fit me anymore. I have to go commando sometimes or the pants won't fit me. Sad, sad, sad. I tell you. This really saddens me because this is one of my favorite shirts. I stole it from my cousin a few years ago and now its too small. In the picture it looks like I have boobs. I don't by the way, its just the angle. Its still embarassing none the less. I'm very wide. Anyhoo...
So this picture is quite obviously of a mirror. There's a lot of cool stuff going on in this picture. There is also a lot of good physics at work also. Now in this picture you can see me and you can see my image in the mirror. The image is a virtual image because it appears to be recessed inside of the mirror. In fact, the image seems to be the same distance in as I am from the mirror. You can clearly see this in the picture.
Also, what I see in the mirror is not the same as what you see. You see me in the mirror because light bounces off of my face, reflects off of the mirror and hits your eyes. The background of the picture is actually what is behind and to the left of me. The same thing is happening to me. The light hitting my eyes, comes from my right. Light from over there, in this case the person taking the picture, hits the mirror and bounces off into my eyes. Interestingly, light hitting the mirror bounces off at the exact same angle. The angle of incidence always equals the angle of reflection. This means that because you can see my face, I can see your face. Haha I see you.
P.S. If you can guess where this picture is taken, you could win a wrestling match for the Kohara's Class Championship title with yours truly...Mr. Carlile Carlile.
P.S.S I'm trying to build a wrestling ring in my backyard. If anyone has foam, or metal (esp. rebar), or plywood can you let me know.
Here we go: Yowza! I had a fun weekend. I'm kinda bummed because its my last family fair. I won a butt load of inflatable guitars on Saturday though. I love those! In tenth grade, I made a video of me air guitaring in a huge pink cowboy hat that I won from the fair and short shorts. It was really embarrassing. Oh, here is something embarassing. Today I went to get my permit at the DMV. Yes, my permit. My parents set a GPA quota when I turned 16, but I guess they gave already. Any way, I go in there and it was like Iolani up the anus. I guess because we are the only school that has today off. So I cram my fanny off for the test, but when I get there I fail the eye exam. That really annoyed me. The machine was super ghetto, the screen was super dark and all the numbers looked the same. Grrr. At least I get to miss school to go back there.
Oh yeah, before I start, I want to mention UFC 97. That sucka was tight. I don't care what other people are saying, I was really impressed. Every single fight on the card was a good one. My boy Cheick Kongo pulled it off. He kicked the hell out of that scary Dutch guy with a broken hand an all. Also poor Chuck Liddell. He's like the knockout king now. Sammy Stout represented well. That was a beast fight. Too bad Thales Leites was such a weiner though. That whole 'I'm on the ground, come get me' thing was quite lame. I enjoyed watching Silva go to town on his punk oshiri. Anderson Silva is so BA. I could tell when he started to get angry. He got super vicious. I like his style, wailing on that lead leg and all. He reminds me of Andy Chung. He has that mentality that says 'If you're not going to let me beat you straight up, then I'm just going to break my foot up in your ass'. That one kick where he stepped behind his own leg was pretty cool. People are criticizing Anderson Silva, but I understand where he's coming from. The mindset you need for MMA is similar to wrestling. Silva was just out there having fun beating the stuffing out of a fishcake opponent. I blame Leites for being such a pushover. The way I see it, there simply isn't enough competition in the Middleweight division. Silva is too good. I hope Bisping beats Hendo at UFC 100 so Silva can whoop some respect into that big dumb head of his. Yikes. This is what you call rambling. I'll skip ahead now.
So now that there is no more wrestling, I'm playing lacrosse. For those of you who don't know what lacrosse is, its like hockey but with a stick with a basket on the end. Its super fun. The entire team goes to Iolani and almost all of them are seniors. Brandon, Joey (aka Angelo Papoli), and Matt kind of carry the team. Nik Snitsky and I are new so our stick skills aren't really that great. We're the defensive specialists. I actually play midfield, which means I play offense and defense but I sub out when we have the ball. So basically, my job is to smash people. Oh, and piss people off. I'm kind of like our teams Bruce Bowen. Or a dirtier Raja Bell. If you don't know basketball, then I'm our team's Ronde Barber. The shutdown corner. Okay this is getting out of hand. I just really enjoy smashing people. Once I had to guard this 250 pound guy. That wasn't fun. Actually it was fun. He got super annoyed.
This weekend our team played Kapolei. We were super short handed. Super. We were missing 2/3 of our attack. One of our starting middies came straight from the airport. One of our offensive middies had two soccer games in the morning. Despite this, we beat the tar out of Kapolei 12-3 or something like that. I even scored a goal. Even better, I got to do a whole butt load of smashing. Nik and I had a contest to see who could smash the most people. I won easily. This one guy was being a real d bag. He cross checked me in the first quarter, but the ref didn't throw the flag. That made me a bit peeved. Then in the third quarter, Kapolei gave up and decided to play like fagits. The same guy (I need to mention that he was a long pole defenseman, and that he was really short and very wide. He wasn't fat. Just wide. He looked like Blake mixed with a refrigerator) grabbed the ball and smashed Craig Yugawa. Of course I had to smash him back. I knocked him down (it was a clean hit) and then, because i was so amped up, growled at him. I probably shouldn't have done that, but it kind of just came out. I wasn't angry or anything, just really amped. Like Mr. Amphere. Anyhoo, d baggety then decides to get up and retaliate. After the play (see I knocked the ball out of his stick when I hit him and it rolled out of bounds) he runs up and tries to smash me. Now, I'm like a head taller than him, but he's probably at least twenty pounds heavier than me. So I have a feeling this guy is a football player and thinks he's a bad sucka trucka. So he hits me right under my helmet. Now sucks for him because 1. I didn't even fall over and 2. he got a penalty. After the game though, Lauren Kimbo Slice pointed out that I had this big red spot on the side of my neck. It looked kind of like a hickey. I thought that was funny. Yeah. I like lacrosse. Wow that was a really long story. Mr. Kohara, do you actually read all of this? Anyway I'll cut to the proverbial chase now. Its physics time now baby.
The picture above is from the two weeks ago. I think its our game against Mililani. Mr. Linsky came to the game and took photos. I couldn't copy, paste, from his website so I had to buy them. The pictures came out nice actually. They look dusty because I had to scan them. We won by the way. So there are really only a few basic skills in lacrosse: passing, catching, scooping and dodging. It takes a while to get used to the stick. The stick. Direct your attention to the first picture. The first picture is not actually me. There weren't any really good pictures of me shooting or passing because I was so busy smashing guys. Thats actually Angelo Papoli, you might know him as Joe Durso. He's actually really good at lacrosse. He plans to play in college. Notice the way he holds the stick to shoot it. The stick is nice and high. His left hand is all the way at the ass of the stick. His power hand is nice and low also. To shoot, Papoli needs to provide a torque on the ball. Now a lacrosse stick is a perfect example of torque because the butt acts as the axis of rotation and the shaft is the lever arm. Angelo pulls out with his bottom hand and whips it down with his top hand. This sends the head of the stick moving in an arc. The ball travels tangent to the arc of the head as gravity pulls it out of the pocket on the way down. The best shots are down in the ground in front of the goalie's feet. He can't tell where it will bounce and its hard to get his stick down there.
The other two pictures are what I like to do best; smashing. Boom boom pow! Oh gosh, I hate that song. Don't get me started on the music industry... Any way, I bought these pictures because I thought they were cool. These are really good action shots. Too bad his elbow is flying into my face. Actually, this is one of my junker hits. I got this really tall Punahou guy really good on a clear. A clear is when the defense makes a stop and has to move the ball to their offensive zone. You can pass it over, but that's hard. Usually a long pole just runs it over though. Defending a clear is called riding. I love rides. I can just come out of nowhere and clean people out, especially when they are near the sidelines. When I hit the guy in the picture (actually the Punahou guy too), he was near the sideline and the ball came loose and rolled out of bounds. We got the ball back. Oh, so back to what I was saying earlier. The picture looks cool, but it is actually physics. What you are seeing is a bouncy collision. Notice how I go nowhere, but the other guy goes flying. In this example, the collision is an inelastic collision because the kinetic energy is changed after the collision. Momentum is conserved, but some energy is changed to heat and stuff like that. To show that momentum is conserved we have the formula: m1v1 + m2v2 = m1v1f + m2v2f. Its really fun demonstrating good physics. Oh snickelfritz, this is might be my longest one yet. So I guess I'll end it abruptly before it gets too crazy.
P.S. I have a feeling that you think that I'm some kind of sadistic madman after reading this journal. The truth is I just like sports. I might be a little over competetive sometimes. But I do play under control. I try not to clean out the little people. Generally I only really go after people that get physical first. Most of my aggresiveness is in retaliation. I only go monkey nuts on the people that I have to guard, especially if they are good. I like to frustrate them. Oh and on clears. I love clears. Other than than I play nice and respectfully. I'm as chill as a cucumber out there. Hitting is just more fun to me than scoring goals. Ok peace out.
P.P.S. This is officially the longest journal ever. I mean eeeever. For those of you who don't know that's a Chris Jericho reference right there. I did a word count and there are over 1,800 words in this entry. Not including the title. To be exact, there are 1804 words in this entry. It takes up more than 6 pages in manuscript form. That's Times New Roman, 12 pt, double spaced. Not including the pictures. That is insane.
Here we go: So once again, I am reverting back to my old habits. It is now 11 o'clock and I am just starting my physics journal. Stupid YouTube. Anyway, I'm going to try to keep the extraneous comments and details to a minimum this time. It was kind of embarrassing to see how much rambling I did in the last journal. Although, I'm still pissed that Keith Jardine lost to stupid Rampage Jackson. This weekend was a good weekend, but there isn't really that much to share this time. Friday was my sister's birthday so we went to the Cheesecake Factory. My favorite, Yay! I had the Steak Diane and Chicken Madeira combo and for dessert, the Dulce de Leche cheese cake. I was kind of pissed because they discontinued the Tres Leches. That one was pretty yummy. I think I've tried over half of the cheesecakes on the menu so far. My favorite is either the Dutch Apple Caramel Streusel or the Chocolate Tuxedo Cream. Oh so good. The secret to eating cheesecake is to use half bites. You take a piece of cheesecake on your fork, but you only put half of it in your mouth. This helps you savor the cheesecake. If anyone wants the cheesecake eating lesson, I'll be happy to help. Believe me that bugga will explode in your mouth. Yikes I'm getting off topic. I'll talk about the physics now.
So as you can see, the theme of my journal is pro wrestling. I wanted to do it about lacrosse, but the pictures I ordered come in the mail. I tried to copy and paste but it didn't work. Actually I had a very lacrossey weekend. Friday after dinner we had a lacrosse sleepover at Matt's house that carried into Saturday, and Sunday we had a game. We beat Mililani 5-1 by the way. I'm pretty happy. I got to smash some people. The thing that annoyed me though was that this ass clown on the other team thought he was the flipping show because he knocked up the smallest guy on our team. He thought it was the coolest thing that he got to sit in the penalty box for being a douche bag. The worst thing was that we couldn't get our retribution because he didn't play the rest of the game. People like that piss me off. Gosh! I went on another tangent. Dang!
So back to the videos. We filmed these videos over the course of two days across the street at club 100. We had wrestling practice there because Keiko was training for nationals. This was supposed to be an audition video for the variety show. I compiled the clips into an actual wrestling match. I'll try to upload it on to this journal at the end. Hopefully it'll work. So the video is of me and Nik Streng wrestling. In this scene Nik starts off with a back suplex. He transitions to a European uppercut and finishes with a super kick. The second video is Truong doing the Angle slam on Nik Streng aka Nik Snitsky. Yeah, that one is cool! The third video is Truong doing a German Suplex on Nik the Snitsky. Its pretty funny when Truong beats the crap out of Nik. The last video is Nik doing the Batista Bomb on me and failing. He kinda just dropped me. That hurt like hell. After that bedlam ensues.
Now as you can see, Pro wrestling is all about bodies in motion. When ever you have this much lifting, slamming, and falling physics must be involved. The video that I'm going to analyze is video three, the German suplex. That one is the coolest. So there is a lot going on here. Shucks, kinematics were from the first semester. I'm going to have to think nice and hard about what is going on. The first thing that you notice in the video is that Nik is big and Truong is not. That sucks for Truong. The first thing that anyone thinks of when they talk about physics is Newton's laws. This applies in our previously stated situation. You see Newton's first law states that an object at rest stays at rest until a net force acts upon it. This sucks for Truong because he is the one who has to supply that force. This especially sucks because Nik is so big. He has a lot of inertia or mass. Mass determines how much an object will resist a change in velocity. Because Nik is so big, he resists Truongs attempts to fly him into the mat. Actually because Truong is trying to induce an angular acceleration on Nik, the force is a torque. Because its a torque we can say that Nik has a very large moment of inertia, but we'll get into that later. The second thing I wanted to say is about Newton's third law: To any action there is always an equal and opposite reaction. Look at the end of the video. Notice how Nik just seems to bounce off of the mat. This is because when he comes crashing down on and hits the mat, the mat hits him back. Fascinating.
Okay so now to talk about torque. This will definitely not be a stroll in the park. Um so this is hard to explain because Truong is throwing Nik. It isn't as simple as pulling with a rope or something. Torque is a force that causes rotation. In the video we can clearly see that Nik's body goes flying in a uniform circular motion. So in this situation it is hard because the lever arm is not clearly defined. Lets arbitrarily say that he is throwing Nik's torso and that the head and neck act as the lever arm. This makes sense because Nik's body is pivoting around his head, which Truong holds onto the whole time. Again, this is very hard for Truong because of Nik's very high moment of inertia. Moment of inertia is a function of the lever arm squared times the object's mass. Nik is very heavy and the lever arm is short. This shows you just how strong the Vu is. Wow.
Lastly, I'd just like to point out one more thing. I noticed that Nik is leaning way forward before Truong throws him. His big fat head is way over his legs. In physics language we can say that Nik's center of mass is over his support base. Nik has no defense against Truong's suplex. If Truong wasn't there, Nik would probably fall on his face. Okay too much physics. I'm tired. I just gotta say one more thing though. After actually doing these moves and trying to make a video, you gain a lot more respect for these WWE wrestlers. This stuff is sore and it is super hard to do right. On top of that, these guys have to make everything interesting and believable. Doing these moves with a straight face proved to be impossible for us. So below is the final product. I really hope you like it. Okay, enjoy. Peace.
Here we go: So this was a pretty good weekend for me. A lot happened, but at the same time not a lot happened. I love having days like that. Lets start with the good stuff. I have a new favorite song. Its I saw 'The Watchmen' on the Saturday night. That movie kicked some serious squooshey tooshey. Yep, it was pretty BA. There were some really psycho fight scenes. It was actually bloodier than 300 if you can believe that. I hope this doesn't spoil anything for any one, but i have to say it. This guy gets his arms cut clean off. Shoot it was pretty awesome. I hate horror movies because they scare me, but I still thought that it was the coolest thing ever. On the other hand though (and I called this), like 300, there was a lot of unnessesary sex. The girl in this show is pretty-- i'm trying to say this in a nice way-- loosey goosey. Overall though, good movie. It was actually pretty serious despite all of the ass kicking. That same night I had my first real plate lunch since summer. Oh man, that was ono. Also, I saw Trevor! I haven't talked to that guy in a long time. Oh and I picked up three empty beer bottles from the side of the road near the parking lot and took them all the way to Big City Diner to have them recycled. Booyah Erinwick. The waitress thought that they were mine. I just ignored her. Oh and we won our lacrosse game! It was pretty fun. I got to hit some people. That was cool. The only thing was I wasn't expecting to run so much. Wow i'm out of shape. Most of it was because I wasn't really sure what to do. I ended up doing a lot of unnecessary running. Lacrosse is really confusing sometimes. This one guy knocked me pretty good. I didn't have a chance to return the favor, though. Darn. That really irritated me because he was being a real dooshbag. After the game we got Acai bowls at the Diamond Head Cove Health Bar. I wasn't really into acai untill recently. Man that sucka was ono. They give you super plenty if you eat there. I also love the biodegradeable spoons that they have. I always chew on them.
I guess I'll talk about the bad stuff now. UFC 96! Broke my heart man. My boy lost a tough one. Keith Jardine came so close. Untill that last two minutes, I thought Keith had the fight. He was getting to Rampage in the second. Those takedowns really killed him. Jackson shot that double out of nowhere. If Jardine could have finished when he was trying to run the pipe he could have won. Poopl I really hate Rampage Jackson. That guy is a meat head. I hope Rashad puts him in his place. The good news is that Shane Carwin planted Gonzaga. Boom. He still hasn't gone out of the first round. I want to see Carwin fight Cain Velasquez now. My favorite heavyweight is still Cheick Kongo though. I think he could take both of those guys. Also watch Brandon Vera's fight. It was on the undercard. You can watch it at UFC.com. This guy is way better than before. He's really scary now. He just monstered through his guy with leg kicks. His opponent couldn't even stand. I want to see Vera fight Jon Jones now. That would be a good one. Wow! I got way off track. I need to get to the physics. I still have to write a paper after this.
So I saw something on youtube that i found to be really interesting. Actually I spent an hour on youtube learning how things are made. The watching them mass produce frozen burritos was pretty gross. They made everything from scratch and it was still nasty. The coolest one was the donut factory. I really like donuts. The condom factory was pretty interesting also. They actually use electricity to test them for leaks. Check it out, its pretty neat. Dang, I got off topic again. So the interesting thing on youtube that I was talking about earlier was this sports science video. I can't remember if we saw this in class or not. I don't think we did... Anyway they were trying to see what generates the most force, a knockout punch or a sumo wrestler pounce. They actually measured the force of the meathead's (Rampage Jackson) punch. It came out to 1400 newtons or double the force of a sumo wrestler springing out of his croutch. This made me curious. Does small but fast always beat big and slow? I decided to test it out.
I rented this wrestling DVD "Edge: A Decade of Decadence" this weekend. It was three disks and full of great matches. I was in the mood so I decided to do something wrestling related. It is really common for people to get attacked during their interviews. This is what is happening in the first video. I'm actually really ashamed that it came out so poopy. My friend doesn't watch that much wrestling. Plus that weight was pretty hard to swing around. I wish we had a sledge hammer. That would have worked a lot better. Too bad Maxxx wasn't there. Oh well. In the second video, my friend was happy to shoot me with his SoCom gas airsoft pistol. I haven't been shot with an airsoft gun in a really long time. I remember it being pretty painful. This time was a disappointment. I could barely feel it. I guess my ass is just really meaty or something. He was standing pretty far away also. When we were testing it out he was able to shoot through a soda can so I was expecting a lot. Oh well again.
So here is the physics. Force is measured by an object's mass relative to its acceleration [F=m*a]. That's Newton's second law. The 45 pound weight has a very large mass compared to the tiny air soft pellet. It was really hard to get a good swing on it though. This can be explained by another one of Newton's laws-inertia! Think also about moment of inertia and the way they are designed. The large barbell weight has a large inertia making it very resistant to a change in state. The tiny pellet on the other hand, was very easy to sent flying throught the air with a high velocity because of its compact shape and light weight. The test was inconclusive. It was hard for me to tell which one hurt more. They produced different kinds of pain. My little experiment was far from scientific, but it demonstrated my point. If we wanted to we could have taken some measurements and actually calculated the force of the two objects, but I don't see a need for that. I was able to prove first hand that something does not have to be big to be forcefull. It still blows my mind what kind of damage a tiny piece of plastic can do.
P.S. Here is a little out-take for your viewing pleasure. Think "How to be a Ninja". Check it out:
Here we go: So this is the first time I'm doing my journal before nine o'clock at night on Sunday. Wow! I can't believe it. Real fast, that BJ Penn fight was just a huge smashing. GSP had superior position the entire fight and just worked him. It was pretty sad. At least Lyoto Machida had a good fight. That guy is scary. Anyway, I went to my friend's house to watch the fight and there was a lot of food. I mean a lot. The best was the pokes from Tamura's and the barbeque chicken. Ono. After the fight we didn't know what to do, so we decided to shoot a film. It was pretty stupid. The idea was to do a survival show. I was the survivorman. We just went outside on the street and did random stuff. I ate an aloe. That was sick. The whole movie was pretty stupid. Anyway that explains the fake dirt spots on my face. While my friend was doing the editing, I went to get something to drink. On the way back, I noticed that they had a lazy susan on the dining room table. It was pretty cool. I started to play with it. I put the soda cans on top of the lazy susan and spun it around. While I was doing this I was reminded of a lab that we did. The lazy susan was exhibiting rotational dynamics. I ran to grab the camera and quickly captured it on film. Here is what happened.
When I spin the lazy susan I am exherting a torque on it. That is, I am creating a force that causes rotation. This sends the susan spinning. The cans on top of the susan are sent into motion as well. Because they are spinning, the cans have both angular momentum and centripetal accleration. The can in the middle of the lazy susan is tricky. The can has a greater centripetal acceleration than can on the outside, but it has less angular momentum. Of course this makes sense. The two cans have the same linear velocity and moment of inertia. The can toward the outside has a greater angular momentum. The radial distance from the center of rotation causes it to have a greater momentum becasue the moment of inertia of the two cans are the same. This works oppositely with centripetal acceleration. The can on the inside is closer to the axis of rotation so its angular acceleration is greater. Because the two cans have the same mass, the centripetal force on the inside can is also greater. Centripetal force is a force that causes circular motion. Centripetal force is expressed similarly to Newton's second law. Fc = m*Ac The centripetal force always points inward. The pepsi can toward the outside of the lazy susan flies off of the table because the centripetal force is not great enough to overcome the force of friction which opposes it. Notice the can flies off of the suzan tangent to its circular motion.The can in the middle has a greater centripetal force and thus stays on the suzan. So there it is, physics on a lazy susan. I hope you get to play with one. Its super fun. Ok gotta watch 'The Office'. SeeeeYa SuckaTrucka!!!
Here we go: So I was having computer problems this weekend, and I was getting super mad. I think my computer has a virus. It kept randomly restarting. I was getting super angry. By nine o'clock I was flipping irate. I couldn't even listen to music to calm myself down. All of my music was on the computer. Grrr. I when it finally started working, I was looking through all of my files for anything suspicious looking and I came across these pictures of me wrestling. Some of these are from winter break, others are from last week. Because all I have been doing lately has been wrestling, I decided to use this on my physics journal. I rely heavily on takedowns when I wrestle. This is mostly because I suck on the ground. So one thing that we've been working on a lot is staying in good position at all times. Getting the takedown is all about being in a better position than your opponent. What I mean is, you need to stay in a good stance--ass down and head up. I realized that this is actually just simple phyisics, the concept of center of mass. The center of mass is simply a point (not neccessarily on the object) where an object's mass seems to be concentrated. You can also think of it as the balance point. You can calculate that center of mass by taking the sum of each mass times its position and dividing by the sum of all of the masses. The center of mass of a human is usually right below the belly button. The pictures above are of me wrestling in pretty good position. Both of our CMs are right over or behind our support bases. Because the opponents have their CMs right over their base, it is very hard for me to take them down. If I want to take them down, I need to extend their CM over their support base. Gravity will help create a torque, making it hard for them to stay on thier feet and easier for me to take them down. In the pictures below, you can clearly see me extend his body over his center of mass.
Here my legs are bent and my butt is underneath me. I'm in a pretty good position. If this guy was a lot stronger, I would want my head up more and looking into him. I would have to arch my back more also. This would cause my ass to sag even more, bringing my support base much wider underneath my center of mass and actually placing my CM behind the support. Here though, he isn't putting that much pressure with the wizzer. Notice, though, that my arms are extended. I'm a lot weaker in this position and its hard to hold up his leg. In the next picture below, I jack up his leg and pull it into my body. This makes me stronger and it extends his CM out over his support. Before you go on, take a look at the girl in the yellow shirt in the photo above. Then look at the guy in white sitting next to her. It looks like he's watching her adjust her bra. Sick.
In this picture, you can clearly see that my opponent is extended. His center of mass is clearly over his support base. He is weak in this position. I would also like to point out that I made a mistake here. Now I'm out of position also. You can see how I brought my hips in and under me. This would be good if I was trying to pick him up, but here I'm out of position. My CM isn't behind the support base anymore. If my legs are bent and my ass is down, I'm a lot stronger than when I'm standing straight up. Hey! My moment of Inertia increases, making it harder to turn me. Despite this, I'm still able to get the takedown. Two points. Yay!
P.S. This guy that I'm wrestling in these last three pictures was super duper stinky. Especially downstairs. Just ask Maxxx. He wrestled him too back in the day. I can't really describe the smell but it was pretty nuts, dude. Oh yeah, the ref in the first picture at the top looks like Mr. Feeney from Boy Meets World. Feeney Feeney Feeney
Here we go: So this is the first journal that I've written in months and months. Wowie Kablowie Man. That definitely cannot be good. So last time I randomly stuck pictures of WWE superstars into the journal; mostly just for funsies. This time I decided to stick with the WWE theme. Maybe next week I'll do some real wrestling. I have a few perfect moves that I could demonstrate. There is even a move called the "torque" Unfortunately Maxxx and all of the other wrestlers were in Maui and I had no one to do these moves on. So I was sitting at home trying to find something physics related that I could take a picture of. This weekend was pretty uneventful so this was proving to be quite a challenge. Today I did almost nothing. I stayed home, lifted, ran, and did homework. Boring. It turns out, something physics related literally jumped out at me. Earlier I had the last glass of milk while everyone else was o
ut of the house. I didn't think that it was that big of a deal, but apparently it really pissed off my sister. So I was walking to the computer to do my English paper when, all of a sudden, she pounced. BAM! She hit a codebreaker out of nowhere. While I was on the ground cradling my throbbing visage, she immediately locked in the Walls of Jericho. I was so scared! I didn't even know that she could perform Chris Jericho's two devastating finishers. She kept yanking my legs up unrelentingly. Look at her bulging biceps. Look at the crazed expression plastered upon her face. Yikes! I thought my back was going to break! It was so painful. In fact, my back is still throbbing as I write this now. The pain will just not go away. I can tell you why it was so sore. My sister was applying a gargantuan amount of torque directly onto my back. You see the point of rotation is directly on my back, right where she is sitting. My legs are being yanked and yanked because these serve as the lever arm. Thankfully for me, my legs bend. If they didn't they would be snapped off. The reason is, my sister is actually applying a force almost parallel to my back. This all creates a massive torque. The torque is, as you can see, causing my legs to bend and rotate. What you can't see is that unlike my legs, my back doesn't really have any flexibility. It is actually bending a teensey bit upwards. Thus the pain. I tried my best to ignore the burning sensation, but in the end I was begging her to stop. I learned my lesson and I tapped out. I will never drink up the milk again.
