Daily Update

It was cold. It was dark. But somehow my running shoes had been strapped on, and I was standing at the starting line of the Australian Outback race track. I don't remember getting there, only being there. The winds were high, and the lights were low. It was night time after all. There were the usual people running about as well. Only one or two people there could run fast er than I. That always makes me feel good about myself. The Blond-Lightning Phenomena was also there, lighting the way for all the rest to see. It was very cold. I thought global warming was supposed to be a factor in the world today, but this night has changed my mind about that. (I haven't seen all those activists around lately either.) But it felt like I was rushing straight toward the highest peak in Antarctica. Most of the wind was from me moving faster than my surroundings rather than the wind pushing me back like the previous day in the Urals. I felt like an Arctic Zebra like Cat, rushing forward with zeal like never before. It was a bit short lived though. Only two miles were accomplished. The elements and the long winter nap have taken much of my strength from me as of late. But that is something I must overcome shortly.

Last night was the resurfacing of some show called 'lost'. Its the kind of show that makes you 'lost' after having watched it. A big group of us watched it over at Kami's. Little did I know that shoing up 3 minutes late would get my ass chewed out by about 12 angry people! I mean they were serious about watching this show. I guess I had never fell victim to the optical heroine that they all had. As soon as the show started I decided to make comments, but OOPS! that was another scolding moment for jim to recieve, along with two pillows thrown at me, one slap on the arm, and some unidentifyable food item. I think it was hurled at me from the depths of someones inner digestive track, but I didn't look further into it as it slowly creeped down the wall behind me moments later. I mean, this show just makes you wonder more and more about what they are up to. And if you don't see it from the start, I guess you don't care at all, like me:) My Man Danny was also there observing it for the first time. It was unfortunate that he and I, as well as Chris and Mike weren't allowed to make comments. I mean, that would have made it a super great show I tell you! Maybe next time guys.

After that episode, I rushed off to Scott's After Birthday Party. I had missed the birthday party due to running. But it wasn't JUST running, but it was running night, and I was only told that a bunch of kids were going out to dinner AS I was getting in the car to go. Sure it was special that Scott invited me, which was weird cause not only does he never go 'Out', but to invite ME to dinner was most generous of him. So after my run I found out that it was for a Birthday dinner, and only then I remembered that Jeff warned me about this last week. So I stopped by to say Hi and to wish him well. As usual I found Scott and Plewe Zombying the couch up, taking all the ESPN in that they could, before overload. How Priceless.
We got a new girl in the office today. She's replacing Susan. Susan is apparently going back to the Philippines. Apparently America is a little to fast paced and luxurious for her. Thats to bad, cause she was always laughing at work. I don't exactly know why, but she was the one who would laugh at ANYthing I did.

I'm listening to One Man Army right now. They're cool.

Lunch was sponsored by Marvin's. Today at Marvin's, the Racist Stan was pushing the Marvin's employees for their rent check. The Employees said their boss was just in a bad car wreck and is in the hospital. Stan didn't seem to care, and still kept threatening them, and talking down to them. I'm sure the two little Mexican Fellas who work there could take the greedy and unforgiving Stan.
