So... getting in shape is tough work. But I am doing it and I have done something that I have never done before. Namely, I have quit making excuses and hauled my ass out of bed to go and run. Now, my knees are fucking killing me and I am going to have to try and find a way to be a better, more efficient...

In a follow-up to my unusual burst of activity I have run 13.8 miles since Monday. I am feeling great. I am not a runner, I am in a group called Clydesdale runners which is for people over 220 pounds. I can run for a while, lose a significant amount of weight and still qualify. But i feel great. I have started doing yoga stretches...

that was very nice!!
In a fairly untypical burst of fall activity I have started sailing, which I mentioned in previous posts. I have also started running in an effort to drop some weight (by some I mean about 65 pounds). Today I am happy to say that I ran 3.4 miles. Which is a record. The last time I ran anything like that would have been back in...

aw thanks...what a sweet comment
First post since my funk post. Huh!
Well let's see, I am not feeling so crummy. What did I change? Well for one, I have changed my outlook on what my commitment level to the people around me is. I am an organizer you see. I am the guy that calls people up, makes events and plans and then orchestrates until things get a life...

I am glad you are out of your funk. I hate feeling like that.
Do you keep a journal? It is good to reflect on your writings both while you are in a funk and when you come out of one.
The hardest thing is to remain creative while going through that.
Well, our library closed until sometime next week, I am sure my copy of The Cave is sitting there waiting for me. I finished all of "House on Mango" street in a couple of days. It was short, but man it is a really good read.
I don't think I can complete the Summer Reading Club in summer, but hopefully I can at least read them during the fall

I am in a funk. There is no other way to say it. I have been seeing a lot of movies, spending time listening to shitty sad-sack pop music, leaving my phone on silent and running through all my excuses on why I am not picking up.
I am bored and discontented. I can't think of what I want to do with my time and...

I totally love it, the colors are great
I totally love it, the colors are greatI have returned from Europe (sadly!) and I have been trying to get used to Flickr. I am not much of a photographer but bought a new camera specifically for this trip. After having taken nearly 2000 photos I am kind of hooked on it. Especially after looking at all the stuff people on SG are able to do. Specifically I love the work of...

I hope The Cave is good! I should have it in my hands soon and I will begin that one..... I hope I have time to finish all three before my semester begins.
It's midnight in Reykjavik and I just watched the sun go down. It was fantastic. Iceland is gorgeous.
I am trying to get a bunch of photos put up on Picasa or Flickr but I have never used either of them and would appreciate any input you folks have.

Imagine that you are standing in a foreign country. The television screen you are looking at is telling you that your luggage is right in front of you; but it isn't. You are looking around at seven to twelve other people from your flights who are also being told that the luggage is right there and everybody is transitioning from bewildered to dismayed and looking...

That's hilarious. I can't imagine Alan Jackson in a Norwegian accent. Have a good time! Sounds like you already are 
In twenty-four hours I will be flying over the Atlantic Ocean on the way to Oslo, Norway. I have wanted to go to Scandinavia for so long. I can't believe I am finally going.
I know I promised pictures of my trip to California and I will put a bunch up when I get back from Europe. Promise.

Norway!! I always wanted to go!! good look in your trip my friend
good look in your trip my friendSpending Fourth of July with friends is awesome.
I took off to New York City on a whim; in part because I felt hosed about my trip to California being cut short and in part because my friend from college lives there. We spent the holiday constructing--then using--grills and watching the boys skateboard and make silly bets involving tattoos.
Great fun.

so nice time with your friends!
Next things next.
This is the first trip I have been on that seemed doomed from the get go; but it didn't go to shit and I had a great time. This is one of those posts that might be read with vitriol but I assure you that if you read it with a tone of skeptic humor you will get a better story.
