No one even needs to say I told you so.
So, I didn't tell you all of the details of my Saturday. If you will recall, I told you that I went to a carnival took a nap and watched the Cubs. I even told you about my jog but I did not didn't give you all of the details.

I got back home from the carnival around 4pm. When I got here, I thought to myself; Self, it looks like a great time for a jog.

Then I said to myself; Self, You don't need those sneakers your wife found for you the other day. There is no reason to dirty a pair of socks for a 10 minute jog.

Then I said to myself; Self, That black top is probably pretty hot, better be careful. As I left, following my son on his bike, the blacktop was warm but not hot. As I got to the half way point which is 1/2 mile from my home I started to realize I was developing some blisters.

Then I said to myself; Self, you can't slow down even though this hurts. If you slow down you will only be out here longer. So I continued to jog home. I got here and could see the blisters forming.

I took my nap and when I woke up they had swollen. I lanced the blisters open, cleaned up the yellow fluid that spewed forth and watched the Cubs game. After that I went to bed.

I woke up about 3 am and the blisters had closed up. I had to do something as my feet were in terrible pain. So I said to myself; Self, this is going to hurt. I took a pair of toe nail clippers and cut half of the blister off. This was quite a mess and the fluid just kept coming. I went back to bed after this.

When I woke on Sunday I put a couple of band-aids on each of them and then put on my socks and shoes. As the day went on I could feel the remaining skin from the blisters tugging at the rest of the skin covering my feet.

I made the decision that rest of the skin had to come off. I said to myself; Self, this skin has to come off and it is going to hurt like a sonofabitch. As I cut my feet up a little bit more I realized that Monday was going to be rough getting around at work. As I was hobbling through hell today I came to the conclusion that I had to come clean and put this on my blog. This is the only way that you can really be part of the Alan Cox experiment.

So, I hope you all gained a little something from what you have read here today. Maybe there is another dumbass out there that would like to share his story. Maybe you will all just feel the need to say "man what a retard". Whatever it is, please let me hear it.
