I'm signing up for a 10K this January in St. Paul, which means that I will run the longest run I've ever run in one of the coldest places on earth during the coldest time of year in that place, and honestly I'm really excited about this.  To me, running has become more than just a way to blow off steam at the end of the day...it's turning into ( Read more... )

Wow.  Wow!  This is only the 2nd time all YEAR I have written in livejournal.  Whoaoaoaoaooaoaoaaa!  Seriously if any of you even notice that I updated this, then mad props to you.  Actually this might even still carry over to facebook, so it won't really be that hard for you to read it.  Honestly that is probably one of the biggest things that ( Read more... )

There were periods when I posted every single day without interruption for a good month or so...I don't really know who still reads this anymore, other than folks on facebook. If anything, ( Read more... )

Let me test...

I thought that the 1998 season where Gary Anderson missed that field goal kick to make it to the Super Bowl was the most painful sports moment I ever experienced, but then I watched this ( Read more... )

So I just bought myself this fancy new smart phone thingamabob, and I have to say that it's a pretty fun toy. I often forget that its main purpose is to be a phone...my friend Destry will tell you how confused I was when I was playing with the thing and then someone called me! Whaaaat, a phone call!? Now how am I supposed to use my vuvuzela app ( Read more... )

He even beats himself up!
