Blake,
Why are you so angry and disrespectful?
We had to take the motorbike to a flatter area to run. We live in a mountain range – it’s all steep hills and valleys. We can’t run hills everyday, that’d be overtraining, so we drive somewhere flat. It’s the same concept as driving to the track to workout.
No, I don’t look like an athlete; that’s why I run, because I’m trying to become one and it takes practice.
I’m pleased that you see that I’m very patriotic. But you completely missed the main idea of my Olympic blog, which was a commentary on how fortunate we are to live with all the privileges that come from living in the Western world. Living in a country that does not have the same prosperity and infrastructure makes you appreciate it very much when it’s gone.
Stop using the word ‘gay’ as an insult – it gives the impression that you are insecure and uneducated; though I’m sure that you are not. Say something intelligent and respectful and your comments won’t be deleted.
All too often students begin fieldwork full of anticipation and high hopes for big adventure, only to end up burned out and on their way home within a month. This has inspired me to write a post about what it takes to survive primate behavioural research for people who may be considering taking this "road less traveled by" in the future. I won't water it down for you; primate research is not for everyone. Fieldwork is an uphill road, overloaded with obstacles that will test your personal strength every step of the way. (Perhaps there's a reason we opted to leave the forest and culture up our lives, oh so many years ago :). But if you've got what it takes to push yourself beyond the comforts of the average everyday world, and you're interested in finding out just how strong an individual you really are, then studying primates is one of the most inspirational and rewarding jobs available! Think you've got what it takes? Here are my tips for what it...
