One week from this very moment I'll be putting out the milk and cookies for Santa. He loves all kinds of cookies and I like to give him Skim Milk since I'm sure he gets his fair share of Whole around the world.
- I wish people that lived in our apartment building would learn how to pick up their God damned feet. Whenever they come into the building and go upstairs or even downstairs I can feel it in my chest. It's like they have cement on their feet and it's a contest of trying to make the loudest fucking stomps. Just another reason to buy a house.
- This Tiger Woods drama is so played out. I got an ESPN alert text today saying that Elin Woods is moving ahead with divorce. SHOCKING. This wasn't an isolated incident or a "mistake" (I love that word). Half the state of Rhode Island has come out to say he slept with them. She should divorce him and take as much as the prenup spelled out and move on with her life.
- Thursday Night Football is fantastic. Any football that isn't on sunday feels extra special for some reason. And this week there is Saturday Night Football too! Life is fucking good.
- I kicked the crap out of myself in the gym this week, tonight especially. I decided with my race coming up it would be good to do some intervals at my race pace, which translated into 8.6 mph on the treadmill. That would put me at a 6:58 mile. Since I'm training on a treadmill there is no way to simulate running downhill so I went the other way and put an incline on it. I figure if I can run well with a little hill I will do fine. I ran at 8.6 mph every 2 minutes for 1 minute, and did that 7 times to simulate an entire mile at that pace. Holy. Shit. I thought my legs were turning into Jell-O after.
- My shoulder is getting better gradually. I still have pain and some loss of motion at the moment but it will get there. I've learned to just ignore the fact that I can't lift the same weight I could pre-injury but that I will get there soon enough. It used to depress me but I'm seeing the strength come back slowly and that has the opposite effect.
- About a week and a half ago the Niff and I were at a red light waiting to turn left. We were the first car and the light turned green. I went and out of the corner of my eye I saw a car going at least 50 mph straight for us. I hit the break and the horn and I'm pretty sure we both missed being killed by someone by no more than 6 inches that either wasn't paying attention or thought he could fly through a red light without consequence. I joke to her that she should thank me every day for saving her life, but it's pretty fucked up when you think about it. If you're at a light and it turns green, wait a couple seconds and look to make sure no one is coming anyway. It could save your life.
- I've had a Double Whopper craving for the last month. I made the mistake a couple months ago looking at the nutritional content of it. Sucks. Because right about now I know I could eat two without batting an eye.
- I'm a big To Do List guy. I have one in my Blackberry, I have another in my moleskine I write in, and now I have one on Teux Deux. Very simple and clean site, I wish they had an app for my Blackberry that would integrate with the site.
- The Trans-Siberian Orchestra station on Pandora is the shit.
- I am genuinely excited for the future of Notre Damn football with Brian Kelly as head coach. I loved Charlie Weis but he's suited for the pros and I would not be shocked to see him on the sidelines with either the Patriots next year or with an AFC East team like Buffalo.
- Call me a geek but some of the things I love most about file sharing is books and learning materials.
- I would kill to see the Bruins play the Flyers in Fenway Park on New Years Day.
- I have just about had it with my recliner. Aside from poking my nuts because of the spring poking through the seat, when I lean back my feet go numb because something is so fucked up in the back that it almost flips over. It's like it goes back too damn far. I need to find a sweet Lay-Z-Boy...
