Obscure lyrics…FTW!
Since I’m training for a half marathon using the very unorthodox “running once a week” strategy, I decided to become a bt more orthodox. Run every other day, something like that. However, there are two problems I face.
1) Its f****ing cold.
2) Its still somewhat dark in the morning.
So, I was in Wal-Mart the other day (because I love corporations!) and I came across the hunting section. While they were fresh out of starter pistols they did have these:
Only in my case the zipper is black, because that makes it slightly more badass.
Well, since I have a penchant for brightly colored articles of clothing…I bought it.
This morning, I set 4 alarms so I’d wake up. I downed some water, stretched, and through on my personal nuclear reactor. Even though it felt epic cold, it was still sunny (damn you Earth and your tilting ways!) so I through on a pair of sunglasses. It was a good thing to, because in the sunlight, this sweatshirt is brighter than me (get it…I’m really white)
Anyway, the run felt good. Some drivers seemed to laugh at my sweatshirt. Whatever dudes, I’d rather you think this was a gimmick than worry about getting clipped on an overcast day.
Besides, the asphalt was to cold to day to lie on it for any length of time.
In other news, I’ve found out a way to insulate my house. I’m just going to put the inside doors up in the attic. Seriously, these things work great. I closed my kitchen door and my second bedrooms door last night. That kept my room nice and warm last night. This morning when I got up and walked into the hall, it was something akin to walking across the DMZ. Coldness.
That’s about it from here. Technically there’s some other stuff I cold talk about, but you’ll have to ask me about it in private.
Oh and one more thing. Go buy Narrow Stairs. It’s a great album.
I wish you could see
THe potential of you and me,
Alan
