Something We Can All Be Thankful For

 

So me and my family drove up to Boston for Thanksgiving. 6 hours and 55 minutes into our 7 hour trip, as we are cruising (well under the speed limit mind you) down the main street, another car suddenly darts out in front of us leaving me only enough time to grab the door handle to brace myself, turn my head to look at my mom who’s driving, and think “awww f#$k” before we smash into the other car. The airbags instantly deploy. I sit there for a second, looking at them, as I had never seen one before this, then open the door and get out the car. No one in our car was hurt, though the fate of the other driver is at this point unknown, though it appears she was having some problems of her own.

When it first happened, I though nothing of it, I just calm walked around, unloaded the car, taking care to save what was left of the candied yams that had spilled during the crash (yes I still ate them, yes they were still good). 5 hours later I got to thinking, “wow, I could have legit just dies” but the though didn't really have any impact because it didn't actually happen and you know how we humans suck at imaging our deaths, because you cant imagine yourself being in a state where you cant imagine anything (if that makes any sense to you).

But like I said, here is something we can all be thankful for:

Shit was crazy, story is too much to tell here, but pictures say a thousand words.

 

So how was your sunday night?

Trickin’ and Treatin’

 

Happy Halloween ‘Fokes!

………..wait a minute, isn’t Halloween supposed to be:

Halloween (also spelled Hallowe'en) is an annual holiday celebrated on October 31. It has roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian holy day of All Saints, but is today largely a secular celebration.

That your supposed to get a scary costume (Tricking) and then get candy (Treating).

But lately there has been a lot more Trickin' and then some serious Treatin' afterwards. Halloween……errrr Hoellaween has really transformed into an excuse for women to run around naked (not that I would complain) in an extreme attempt to attract men. Its gotten to the point that its really shameful. They really should just make a separate “Dress as close to naked as you can get without getting arrested” Day. I mean I wouldn't want my kids outside with these women, that's not really the kind of childhood that they should be having. I’m all for showing a little skin as those who know me know well, but at least make an attempt at staying in costume. I'm pretty sure I've never seen a butterfly dance like that.

But hey, like TI said, I guess it aint trickin’ if you got it.

Life Update #1

 

I’ve been on my grind lately. Usually I wait for some sort of inspiration for a post, but so much has happened since I last posted that I feel obligated to make one.

The first things that comes to mind is the academic aspect of my life. I've got a B in all my classes except for Philosophy, which will be an A. While that's ok, that's not what I want.

Spanish should be cake, I'm at a lower level then I should be, I just need to clean up my writing, so my professor can stop being anal and taking off points when its clear I know Spanish.

Bio I need to study smarter, that's why I'm meeting with the professor to get right from the horses mouth what I should study.

Econ had a BS midterm. Questionable wording, knew the stuff, got robbed, will do better next time. Met with the good Dr. Speigel, he’s going to give me back some points.

Went out on Thirsty Thursday for the first time, was pretty nice, if Ive got the time and can spare the rest, Ill go again….and again. Weekend partying is always nice.

My body has been sore a lot though. Guess that's track for you. And 70 miles a week. I've got to remember to keep taking that ZMA (Muscle Recovery Supplement). Gotta go hard.

And so Ill leave you with this video I'm watching of a song I haven't heard in too long.

My Man Too Nice

 

Someone want to explain to me why he's so nice?

That my training partner and friendly rival (though its not much of a rivalry at this point because he has about 20 secs on me in the 5000. Give me a year or two and I got him.)

The article does most of the talking, but just know there's nothing stopping him, so next time your in a race, no need to turn around, just know he's right behind you.

The Once and Future King

There is Brett Favre (The Once) and Aaron Rodger (The Future). Kings of the Game.

One is an aging almost-40-year-old QB with something left in a once dominant arm. The other is a 25 year old rising star with a cannon for an arm.

For one night none of that mattered.

Both QB’s played excellently, though the latter was let down by a porous offensive line and a crucial endzone dropped pass.

Regardless is was beautiful to watch.

Who’s ready for round two?

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!
