so anyway...the story of a Friday night
T'was a pretty good friday..I had the day off from running as per the training schedule-so I wiggled down onto the sofa-and was generally as lazy and useless to humanity as a person could be. I managed to watch several sitcoms-The King of Queens, Friends, Home Improvement..and Seinfeld. Isn't that pathetic?!? But I must say-I do enjoy those shows.. And then to culminate in my lethargic state-I celebrated with a little half-hour nap.. So-as I said-t'was a pretty relaxing and good friday.
After that exciting and ambitious late afternoon and evening, I grabbed dinner and settled down to something more productive. Namely-conquering France..I do enjoy a good war game and Mediaval II Total War has everything I enjoy in a computer game.
So anyway, after whupping up on the frenchies for awhile I decided to toss in a quick little movie-Titanic. Ok, so it isn't a little movie..but I did enjoy all three hours of it. I have seen this movie more times than I can count. I don't know if it's something I should be embarassed of or not-but when it was in the theaters, I saw it at least 8 or 9 times. Now-in my defense I grew up a Titanic fanatic..my whole family was.. plus, no matter what my friend J.P. says-I think the whole Jack/Rose love story makes a pretty good yarn. (He says it is stupidly unbelievable..but then-he always does beat around the bush when it comes to his opinions)
So anyway,.. as I sit here looking back on my Friday I am coming to terms with the fact that I achieved absolutely nothing at all today. Ah to be lazy. It’s rather fun at times.
I putzed around the web after the movie, looking up odds and ends on wikipedia (love that site btw)..
Because it’s my blog-and because I can.. I am going to waste some more time jotting down a few rambling thoughts that I have had this week…I make no guarantees that they will be in any logical or structured order… in fact, I can’t even make a guarantee that they will make sense..but anyway-
Welcome to my mind!
-oh yeah-well I can not return emails too..
-Why can’t people shovel the sidewalks in front of their houses? (makes it most challenging to run on)
-I can’t stand John Edwards….man he looks…too…politiciany
-I really can’t stand Hillary Clinton…. Can anyone? Can’t someone decent run please?
-State of the Union-blah blah blah blah……blah. Nancy Pelosi’s teeth scare me. Blah..blah…blah blah…
- I don’t want to take the trash out. It’s butt numbing cold outside..
-Why the hell am I running in 25 degree weather?..(thought as I was running in a little snowstorm we had)
-I like cheez-it’s a little too much
-Dying on the Titanic-would really suck.
-ok, it’s past time to flip the mattress..I think I am sleeping in a bowl…
-I hate people that haven’t cashed a check you wrote them-SIX months ago..grumble grumble..drives me nuts seeing that uncleared check..as I balance things out each month..
-Hey, only 24 years until the house is MINE.. sigh.. I will be 57 years old..how depressing! Why do I get the feeling those years will fly by?
- What ever happened to the twinkie…you know-that..golden debbie treat thing..you just never hear of them anymore…
-drool-a 60 inch plasma tv screen seen at bestbuy….drooooooool…must…get…must…get…
-With a tv that big-would it freak me out to watch the news-knowing that their heads-will now be bigger than mine? ack-what if I watch home movies on it..I don't want to see my face..that big geesh..
well, enough of that.. It’s almost 3 AM and I suppose-if I must-I should head to bed..Tomorrow I have a big 10 mile run to hit which will take up the mid-afternoon. The good news is that the weather reports are saying that the temperatures will be in the mid 30’s so FINALLY I can run with my music again..Of course-the very next day it’s in the low 20’s..
gotta love Ohio weather..almost 15 degree difference from one day to the next…
I keep reminding myself that Spring is only like..a month and a half away. I don’t mind winter at all-it’s really pretty and all..but all that snow and ice-and cold- is really making running even more challenging than even the summer. I totally remember the hellish 98 degree weather day runs but at least then I could take my shirt off and run with just my shorts..During the winter-you can only put so many layers on-and still be able to move!
ok ok..blabbering on here Jim. I am heading out..really..I promise.
G’night everyone
