Duality

So, my new computer’s here (using it right now, in fact; PowerMac G5 DP 2.0 Ghz), but something strange happened a few hours before it arrived.

My house has this hallway with a cut-out that leads upward to a skylight. For as long as I could reach the ceiling, I’ve been running down the hallway and jumping to see how high I could reach. Friday afternoon, I was walking down the hallway and decide to make a conservative jump. In the air, I lightly tapped the edge of the wall that goes up to the skylight. Once I landed though, I noticed that my right shoulder was feeling weird. It didn’t have the strength or stability that it had before I made the jump.

Perfect timing. In a few hours, the computer would arrive and my right shoulder was messed up.

Thankfully, I still had enough strength in it to get the tower on my desk. But what happened to my shoulder? It wasn’t until the next day that I noticed my right collarbone was slightly out of place. How did that result from my conservative jump? Well, I guess it doesn’t really matter. I’m taking this incident as a not-so-subtle hint that I should spend more time being active and less time sitting in front of the computer.
