Wii Related

I’m suffering from a Wii related injury today. After several high intensity bowling matches, I’ve found myself with a ridiculously sore right shoulder. And it’s not ‘I lifted weights for the first time in weeks’ sore. It’s ‘I just got hit with a ball peen hammer’ sore. I have a knot the size of a golf ball reeking havoc just under my trapezoids.

So how does this make me feel? Old, out of shape, and slightly worthless are the first words that come to mind. I’ve jumped out of moving vehicles, skied off of 20-foot cliffs, and mastered flips into the water from 35+-feet. Yet, Nintendo’s new game console got the better of me. Hmmm. Perhaps I should have stretched.

What’s next? Am I going to strain an abdominal while taking a deuce, or perhaps I’ll pull a hammy while changing the batteries in the smoke detector? At least when I broke my pinky two weeks ago, I was participating in an actual sport.
