Pole is back from maintenance!
Feels good to be back after quite long (:
Computer was down from maintenance and I took the opportunity to fix my water gun so now it's in perfect working condition.
*Splash Splash*
Okay enough with the nonsense.
I've spent half of my day thinking about what to post, and half of that time sleeping.
And a little of that time worrying about the outcome of my bloody &*^((*&^ maths test which I think I am going to fail.
But nevertheless, I still thought about what to post (:

o.o

Why do I keep going back to nonsensical stuff -.-
Okay so here's the (actual) post.
Since I'm a sportsperson myself, I can't help but notice the way people engage in their 'sporting' activities.
Let me list the few different kinds of 'sportspeople'.

Firstly, we have the hardcores.
These people devote 3/4 of their free time engaging in their sporting activities.
Yes these are the people you see staying back in school 5 days a week and change to their 'sweat-it-out' attire right after school.
Right after the teacher dismisses the class, they're gone like the wind and you can find them in the toilet changing. When it comes to running to the toilet, they're like Usain Bolt.
And these are also the people who have an abundance of PE shirts.
And not to mention these PE shirts will turn yellow and have a funny smell after they do their sports and are as wet as wet blankets.
Such is the way of the hardcores.

Secondly, we have the slackers.
Slackers even out their time between something else and sports.
I listed them as slackers, because they are not as hardcore as the hardcores and I have a limited range of vocabulary.
Slackers generally have average grades because the 'something else' I mentioned earlier is most likely studying.
However, it need not be studying, it can be baking, knitting, stamp collecting, or maybe even sleeping. Slackers are usually from the hardcore group. When the hardcore-er gets tired of his CCA, he stops sporting and generally, slacks.
Slackers and Hardcores can make the transition pretty easily.
It can follow this timeline: Slacker -> Hardcore -> Slacker.
So a leopard might never change its spots but a person can change his/her underwear.
(The above phrase is never to be used in an essay of any sorts. Even though it is extremely attractive, please refrain from using.)

Thirdly, study-ers (I'm not using mugger cause it is offensive.)
What else is there to say?
These people spend 100% percent of their time studying -.-
I admire them for being so persevering but, seriously they should get out of their houses more often.
Ever gone out with a study-ers?
If you fall in the category of slacker/hardcore, you'll realise that you feel like some gangster and your manners will fall short of his cause this person is so textbook that he follows every rule.
Let me demonstrate a true story. The setting is an empty train from the interchange.
Me: -sits down-
****: Don't sit! Got people coming.
Me: Why. Have plenty of seats what.
****: You never see the sign is it. Must give up seats what.
Me: For people who need it more than you only -.-
(Old man steps in.)
****: You see you see. Stand up lah.
Me: On my face, -.- (In my brain, &*^$%##*%.)

Lastly, we have the fake hardcores.
These people are seriously damn into sports.
More than the hardcores.
However, they like to act hardcore and they take activities like UG campfires, PE to be physically exerting.
They do their best every PE lesson and never ever slacks when it comes to their CCA.
For example, push-ups.
Some (I emphasise on SOME) of these fake hardcores can do quite a number. Maybe 15 or so.
However, they usually boast that they can do 2 to 3 times the number.
Then when they tell you that, you go "Oh shit this guy owns me I must train harder."
So in a way, it is a good thing cause it benefits you in a certain way.
So when they are pumping away and cannot take it anymore, they start pumping in a fashion that I cannot comprehend.
Like a wave.
Imagine a guy in pumping position, with his upper body kept straight up.
Then 1 rep will be moving his butt up and down.
Putting that description crudely, it's like humping the ground.
Please be on the lookout for such actions and don't criticize them, just tell them the right way to exercise (and you might get a rebuke, saying that they are doing exactly the right thing and there's nothing wrong when there is some thing VERY wrong.).
Remember, be polite :D

Yes that ends my post.
Thank you very much for your attention and remember, Xercise (In conjunction with the post on the 4th January, 2009. Please view to get a better idea.)!
Thank you for your attention.

Yours truly,
The Pole.
