Okay, I don’t really have time for anything but a running update. I got 6.52 miles in on Saturday. S, a friend of mine from high school, and I ran the loop at Iroquois twice early on Saturday. It was a good run and it was good to see him as well. [...]

Hot and Cold
Okay, so my run last night was lackluster. I think I was dressed too warmly for the gym. That’s the problem with it being about 16 degrees outside and about 80 degrees in the gym. I have to dress well for the trip into the gym and then figure out how to [...]

Untitled
A deep solemn bellow from the depths of soul;
Cry out from within the hollow of a darkening heart.
Like a bitter rain,
a seething rage boils within.
Lightning liquefied sloshes against the greater goodness of
inner humanity.
A white-hot fire burns like a billion suns
rampaging across the universe of the mind.
I feel the eclipse of sadness overtake.

Running update
So, I finally got back to the gym last night and ran off another 4 miles. I nearly made it out of the city…as you can see from the image. I wish I could run about 4 miles a day, which even then would mean 5 months of running. It’s slow going, [...]

Where’d it go?

I think back and I barely remember any of it which is disheartening, because that almost assuredly means I didn’t get most of the stuff done that I wanted to and I [...]

Fear
Today begins what amounts to a final chapter in my life experience. Today I start my final semester of college for an undergraduate degree. Just typing those words makes me lightheaded. The thought of not having that over my head is at once both awesome and frightening. As many of you [...]

The Real Election
Many of you are caught up in the hoopla surrounding some sort of election happening soon. This includes my wife who left a night of playing Wii with the Neighbors early to watch the Iowa caucus results. But, the real election happens today with the results being announced tomorrow. That’s right…the election to the Hall [...]

Caucus Haiku
Republican Haiku:
Dateline Iowa:
Republican hopeful is–
Shucks! It’s Huckabee.
Democrat Haiku:
Could Iowa Dems
have picked a new president?
Barack Obama!
An interesting turn of events last night as the drama of the 2008 presidential election began to unfold. Huckabee was chosen overwhelmingly which seemed to churn a few Republican stomachs. This is not without due cause of course, because [...]

Running Numbers
No, I have not joined the Mafia nor am I involved in illegal gambling. These are statistics for my running and other exercises over the course of my exercise log.
Over the course of the last 3 years or so, I have given my body over to 25,033 minutes of cardio exercise. That’s 417 hours of [...]
