Daily Update

I went running again. This time it was different, so quiet, and full of anticipation. I had so much to prove to myself, and to my stopwatch, who was keeping track of the time. I had prepaired myself by eating a healthy lunch, as healthy as Jamba Juice provides that is. It was a heavy start. The songs were right in the j-pod, the shoes fit tight, and my eyes were full of the evening light. Fresh air filled my lungs. I ran and I ran as diligent as I could. As much as I tried, the swampy marsh lands were to much for me and they overtook me. I was a tired lion who was fighting for his life. Struggeling to outrun the slowest of his prey that he may eat that day. I had to fight off many foes as well. I think they noticed that I was running alone today. I was hoping that they would just forget about me, but they were lieing in wait. They sprang from the bushes from nearly every direction! All I could do was to fend them off until another friendly runner ran by. But there was no time, I wouldn't have lasted that long. I passed the previous runner so long ago. Luckily I was packing a samuri style knife, so I could both defend myself, and carve them up and send them on their way. There was one attack from the ninja's and then one from a few renegade zombie type creatures. They were no match for me. I finished +24 seconds. not great. I've had a lot on my mind lately therefore my brain was taking up to much of my energy, rather than my running muscles; stupid brain. I'm going to have to have a talk with it. The pervie dude was also not there.

One bad thing with the run today was with the street. The street of the fourth side of the track was recently re-paved. Its sticky asphalt in itself is not bad, but when combined with loose sharp gravel, it becomes dangerous very quickly. As I was running on the last leg of the run, my shoes became coated with the gooie tar stuff. As I ran, the sticky tar would then pick up all the loose yet sharp rocks, coating the underside, and lower sides of my running shoes turning my shoes into virtual weapons. I also need to mention that this was the last leg of lap two, so I was a little bit exhausted. When I get tired, my running form gets a little lax and sloppy. My feet will start to bump together, and my arms wobble. Well this time as my feet started bumping into eachother, it started slicing my ankles up. Similar to what Freddy Cruger, or Edward ScissorHands would do. I am accostomed to the pain, I almost don't even notice it, but I didn't realize it was a 'bleeding' pain until after I got home and was taking off my shoes.

I worked on a new project today at work. It was kind of a refreshing change from the typical high rise i've been with for the past few months. But tomorrow its back to that. My boss said today that next week he'll talk to me about my annual review. I wonder if he'll fire me. That could make life interesting. What kind of practical jokes could I play then on the people there, ha ha ha. I also wonder if he'll give me more money. Should I have questions ready, like an interview? Should I ask for an ammount, or a percentage? Hmmmm.

After running I cleaned my room a little bit, and then went over to Greenfield to watch TV. I stayed way to late according to my tiredness levels. They made me. I had no choice in the matter. We watched the Dancing show, twice. Yesterday's episode, and the current one. I'm listening to some sort of 'Mika' right now. Its pretty cool. Its a kind of British alternative music.

Lunch was sponsored by Burger King, and hosted by the Bean Twins. After lunch I went back to their 'Brain Mapping' office (thats what they do there) and Courtney started asking me the 'screening' questions to see if I would be acceptable as a 'test subject'. I failed the screening test miserably. Out of the four questions I missed two of them; namely, been on medication for Meningitis, and have a huge steel plate in my leg. I knew they wanted normal humans, but I thought that Super-humans were included. I guess not. I think the other two questions were: "do you have a brain", and "do you have a heartbeat?" And of course I got those right.
