back pain...

Well I think that Ben Franklin had the saying, "Only two things in life are certain, death and taxes." I think that back injuries should be added to that. On Thursday I went down to play intramural flag football. I thought it was just going to be fun and laid back. Boy was I wrong, every guy on the field except me had at least one year of varsity football experience. Needless to say I was outclassed big time. But wait that wasn't the worst part, the worst part was I got stuck at center. For those of you who don't know I'm 6'4 180 lbs. Translation: NOT BLOCKING MATERIAL!!!!!!!! I had one play where our "coach" basically fell onto my my back, yea just what I need when I am a bag boy and work Friday, Saturday and Sunday working a total of 16 1/2 hours over those 3 days. Don't feel too bad for me, I make $8 an hour (plus the $16 a month that goes to my union but I already talked about that in a earlier post) but that doesn't mean it wasn't a gigantic pain in the ass, or more accurately back. Thank god for IcyHot, a product I totally endorse. It numbed my back enough so I could work for 5 hours today, still hurts though. I have a question for anyone reading this, is there anyone out there who HASN'T messed their back up? Seriously I bet that 80%-90% of the American public has done something to their back.
