I've got a headache that refuses to go away and a stomach that is quite happily filled with biscuits and gravy. I suppose this is as good a time as any for an update.
The funeral was yesterday morning. A lot of hugs, a lot of crying, and a lot of wishing that Dan had... Read More
Been a rough couple of days. Monday evening, while preparing for our midnight release, I got a phonecall with the news that a good friend had committed suicide over the weekend.
I didn't really know how to process that information, and to be honest, I still don't. This was completely out of left field. Anyone that knew Dan Hendrix knew him as a guy who... Read More
Hey man, please accept my sincerest condolances for the loss of your friend. I wish you all the strength in the wolrd in dealing with it. Try not to dwell on the times that you didn't spend together and instead remember the good times in which you did. I am sure those meant a great deal to him.
Check that out - it's only been three days since my last update. I know you're impressed.
Got up at 5am on Saturday morning for a quick breakfast, then out for my first 5-mile run. Truth be told, it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected it to be - I just stuck to the same pace I had been using all week, and after... Read More
I kind of feel like we all SURVIVED the river, you know? Like the first half was about fun and drinking and the second half was a Bruce Willis movie.
Are you training for something with the running? I started running last winter so that I could do a couple 5Ks (and also to not be fat and out of shape anymore) but I'm starting to think about doing a 10K in the fall.
It was good times, except for the burning
Remember to work some 100yd windsprints into your routine. You will amazed how quickly your endurance builds up
Running continues to go well. After taking it easy for the latter part of last week, I pulled off another 4 miles on Saturday morning before meeting _Sylar_ for breakfast. This week, I tried making some adjustments to my pace and the length of my walk/run intervals, and it seems like it's been helping. I hope so, because tomorrow I move up to 5 miles,... Read More
I think it may be time for some new running shoes - I've had these for about 14 months or so, and despite going through periods where I wasn't going to the gym regularly, I've still put a lot of miles on them. After talking to Bart, that seems to be a pretty reasonable explanation why I'm having problems with my shins. I just finished... Read More
Has it really been a week since my last update? Wow.
For those of you who don't follow me on Twitter or don't have me added on Facebook, I've gotten back into running again. I had been wanting to do it for quite some time, but lacked any sort of motivation to actually get off my ass and get started. You can credit _Sylar_ with... Read More
I think Margot and the Nuclear So and Sos may have ascended the throne to take their place as my absolute favorite live band. There's just something about the atmosphere when they're onstage that I can't quite put my finger on, but I always go home feeling euphoric.
_Sylar_ showed up a little before 7pm, and we linked up with Dave and Kate for what... Read More
Yeah, I'm definitely glad I went to see NIN, because it was fucking AWESOME. They hardly played anything from the last few records - in fact, I would say about 80% of the set was comprised of material from Pretty Hate Machine and The Downward Spiral. I was pleasantly surprised by a few of the song choices, including "Reptile" and "Mr. Self Destruct," but... Read More
Love
