You know, hard as it is on the mind to adjust to being in the heat of combat, then suddenly waking up in a cloning chamber, I have discovered another side effect that made itself painfully aware to me today… forgetfulness.

Let me try to break it down for you.

As part of my daily exercise regimen, I engage in some good cardio, some free weights, and some machines, to push my body to greater limits and to keep me in peak condition. As anyone who works out will tell you, it takes time, consistency, and discipline. Working out is not an easy thing.

Recently, I have engaged in a new program for muscle gain. That’s a good thing. The ache the next morning of sore muscles trying to repair themselves, the promise of greater strength and better physical appearance, it’s all attractive to those of us who do this to ourselves.

But then I got podded.

It’s happened before; it will happen again. But my mind forgot something very important. This is a new body. So what did I do? I went to the gym of course. I did a fantastic leg workout at the same intensity I had before. That was my mistake.

Now it’s four days later and I can hardly walk. I look worse than had I been anally raped by a group of Amarr priests. It hurts to sit. It hurts to bend. It hurts to walk. It pretty much hurts to do anything.

My body isn’t the same as it used to be. Next time I clone, I’d better remember that.
