Got Crack???

 

Its crazy. I need to go in rehab. Me being on Facebook is out of control. Now that I have a laptop and don't really do much of anything other than study, run, sleep, and hangout, my other four hours of day are usually spent snorting that online cocaine. Its not even that I spend time looking at Facebook profiles, its just that since they made Facebook chat the allure to talk to all those people I never talked to before it too much. I mean I still get my work done, still go to practice, still go out and chill with people, its just now I talk to them online, usually while doing something else eg. making dinner, talking on the phone. I even talk to people who I:

1. Just talked to in person. Or am still talking to, because they are sitting right next to me.

2. I just talked to on the phone/am still talking to on the phone

3. Am in the middle of texting

4. Am going to hang chill with later, but just feel like talking to anyways

FacebookChat will never replace person to person talking, or even video chat however. And no, you should not be on Facebook ever on a Friday or Saturday night, because you should be out with people.

For all you adicts out there, welcome to rehab

Rehab Here!

Shooting yourself in the leg to spite your face???!!

 

How do you like that ironic twist on an old saying. Well I know he doesn't:

My man shot himself and got more jail time than Donte Stallworth who killed a man, albeit when he was crossing a highway while drunk. Plus Plax is a better receiver, so you'd think he’d get less time. Not the case, I guess that's what happens when you carry a concealed weapon in Manhattan. Should have just done it in Brooklyn. This really is sad, even though he wriggled out of the minimum 3.5 years, it goes to show that you really do need to think before you act.

LMFAO

Word to my man Keenan

They have really taken this joke to far. Be warned; if I see you in one of these I'm gonna have to break out the white paint and lighters. These can never be worn. Ever. Don't even think about it.

Yeah so he may have been right, may have been drunk, but that was still classless. Not that bad, but classless. Needs self control. Enough Said.

Running With A Legend

 

Running Update: Yeah so I’m not going to be racing much during cross season, maybe a few tune up races. They’ve got the 5000 indoors so I’ll start then. Ill just be training on my own, staying healthy, building up a base.

So I was out with my new training partner, my man Matt, on our long run so I decided to take him out to the Belmont 5 mile course made by my high school coaches father, Saint Clair. So as we were finishing up the downhill after Parachute (Or Suicide Hill for those real runners out there) and heading into the back part when I see this old man running. He asks if I'm running the 5 mile course and I say yes and he says he is too, so we start talking and I find out his name, Gary Fanelli. He is soon to be 59, still runs, and said he was once and Olympic marathoner which was what really caught my attention. Been running on that course for 40 years, and him and the coach at Philly U are trying to get the back part cleared up so we can run easier. After doing the course with him (kind of slow pace, figured I’d give matt some time to recover) and as we come back to the flat ground I see that its time for Matt and I to pick it up because we have to get back. I tell him goodbye and we have to go, so I'm going to pick it up and be out. I start striding out, and low and behold, but who decides to follow but Gary, and though he has a shorter jerkier stride he is able to keep up. Sadly though, Matt was still burnt, so we had to slow down, but man were we rolling. He also said he knew my distance coach at UPenn.

So of course the first thing I do when I get back to my dorm is look this guy up. And boy was I surprised with what I found:

 

 

 

He’s the guy in the middle.

 

Apparently not only was he really in the Olympics, but he ran a sick 2:14 and ran marathons in crazy costumes. That would explain why he was still able to pick it up though. That's crazy.

Insomniac

I got 20 hours of sleep total over the last five days. So What. Other than a few naps in meetings (sorry coach) and my legs failing on a morning run (had to walk). Parties were pretty nice. Wasn't really the parties themselves that were nice, it was the opportunity to meet other people that was the real fun (even if they were wasted). Never before had I gone out five nights in a row, and I do not plan to duplicate this feat again for quite some time, lest I neglect my primary duty, which is to get an education. I would upload photos, but then again I dont want any incriminating evidence online. My only problem with NSO was the people who took it too far. Those people who ended up being carried out in ambulances while looking brain dead was really unnecessary. There is no reason to ever be that drunk, and Ive got so say especially for all you ladies ou there, it is really unattractive.

Drinking only serves two purposes:

1. To silence the inhibitions of socially anxious people

2. As a way of bonding with your peers

I would only do it for the sake of the latter, but now that I am on the UPenn Cross Country Squad, I'm going to stay dry so I can continue to perform at a high level. Not to knock intoxication, I have a lot of friends who live below the influence, and there good people, so keep it real. Got a few visits from my man John Kile (Check out his blog). Shoutout to my man BStevenson, always down for the ride (a slow ride that it may be). The Sudanese kid showed up too.

This has been a pretty nice week though. I'm just icing my legs, getting ready to call it a night. Bout to get it Classy in here.

Too Nice

More to come, this is just the beginning. Classes haven't started but the Education has already begun. Keep it real.
