New Blogger Is Weird.

That is o.k.  I still love you all.  :)  Even if Blogger is weird now.  :)

OMG, I am pretty sure I have nothing to write about.  I look out at the bloggers I read and stuff, and I realize life does not come with answers, and the answers we have been spoon fed since our younger years aren't always the right ones.  Meaning we have to find our own way.  None of us will escape life changing events like death, illness, losing a job, whatever.  Maybe like a William Shirer society tells us were bad.  Can you imagine??  The U.S. Gov't telling the whole world you are a bad person??  Why???  Because fear mongering gathers a crowd.  Even if the fear mongerer is an alcoholic idiot like McCarthy.  Fear mongering comes in many shapes and sizes too.  Hitler was a vegetarian for criminy sakes.  :)  So you vegetarians are basically Hitler.  :)  j/k.   :)


Life is hard.  It is something we have to accept.  I told pumpkinsdiary girl that I think sometimes when we feel the most lost and most confused is when we grow the most and learn the most.  So our hard times are definitely endurance events, but on the other side comes answers.  We all have questions in life, and it is through our hard times we learn the most, because it is when we open our eyes and ears the most, and pay attention. by told I mean blog comment.  Obviously I don't talk to her.  She thinks I am a loon probably or something.  Maybe you all do.  :)    Zany Joseph Heller days are the best, but The Howard Zinn days are the most important probably.  He gives us the Joseph Heller days as a gift.  Time is on his side, and I think he lets time be on our side too.  Maybe that is why my blog is called "The Wait"  I would have done the shit I need to do a long time ago, but I have been led in a way, that I will do it whenever I think.  Not that I am so strong and such a good person, but because of my help.

While I wait he gives me plenty of Joseph Heller days.  If you don't know what I mean about Joseph Heller days and Howard Zinn days you will have to read the 600 + entries in this blog, and get my blogger password so you can read the however many entries were in "The Journey"  I want that done today too btw, and I want a report handed into my desk by 7:00 am tomorrow.  :)

Have a good one all.  Luv Ya's.  :)

That is it for today!!!   :)

WOAH!! Did Blogger Just Change??

Well, good morning all.  How are you all doing??  Fine I hope.  Yesterday was definitely different.  Most of the day my legs were absolute toast.  I wasn't even sure if we were having speed work, so I was like WOOOOO!!  I am taking today off.  I think I'll run some hills on Thursday before work.  Then I get the message from Alan.  Speed work tonight at 6:00.  I LOL'd to myself.  I walk on concrete all day, so you know that takes some out of my springiness.  I kept thinking, how in the heck???  I knew it was a nap day.  Sleep helps in recovery.  So I am driving to the pool where we meet, and I run into the entrance, and surprisingly the legs don't feel so bad. 

A low turnout the first night, but Lil Cath, and Bob the Bullet, and Carol N. were some of the mainstays, and we all did our warm up together, and talked about what we were training for etc...  Then came the hard stuff.  Jerry and I did 4 hard ups, and recover downs.  The loop is 3/4 of a mile.  I let Jerry lead the pace, and it was plenty hard.  I think Jerry and I are at the same speed, because it was hard, but we both were able to do it, and we ran with each other the whole time.  Lil' Cath was a bit faster than us, and Bob the Bullet, and some new guy were a bit quicker than Cath.  On our last up, we started a bit before the fast people so I thought let's try and hold them off.   LOL,   ummm never mind. 

I am taking the whole day off today.  I am driving to work, and driving home.  I am going to have some drinks too tonight.  I should get some stuff done around the house, but I promise nothing.  :)  I will end this week with over 30 miles, so my mileage is getting up there.  Oh, and so you know at work I estimate I walk on concrete floors between 20-30 miles/week at work.  FYI.

It feels good to be back.  I'd have to go back and read to see how my attitude was last year, when I kept getting injured, but truthfully, that is about the last thing I want to do.  I do this crap too much, and I don't want to read it.  :)  LOL

I am already looking forward to long run Saturday.  yay.  :)


That is it for today!!!   :)

Thanks for reading!!!   :)

p.s.  I even ate after I ran last night.  What the heck is up with that??    I ate a ton yesterday too.  I had two sandwiches before work.  Turkey breast.  A girl from work Esther brings food a lot to work, and she brought a whole Taco spread for one of the guys 21'st B'day.  So I had 3 tacos before 9:00 am. too.  Authentic stuff.  #nummy.  :)  I also ate 3 oranges a container of raspberries, and a container of blackberries, and 2 baked potatoes when I got home.  LOADED WITH SOUR CREAM AND BUTTER.  I mean a lot.  Some salmon after my run.  LOLZ.  I luv food.  :)

Love You All xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Good Morning!! How'zzz it Going??

Me, I am doing good.  I had a pretty good day yesterday.  A little biking.  Very little, just a bike to work.  Lisa left the same time as me, so I thought... hmmmmm.  I think I will throw my bike in the truck, and go home with her.  :)  HEE HEE.  I came home and napped, because as Lisa was driving, I was getting tired.  Plus I had to run, so wanted to be rested.  I didn't really sleep much, but I rested. 

I have a new book to read from the Liberry.  It is a book about Gandhi, and it is written from one of my favorite authors of all time.  William Shirer.  Now some of you may remember his story.  He went to the same College as my Dad.  Coe College, and he lived in Cedar Rapids as a kid for a bit during a time when the Czech Immigrants lived in like a Communistic way helping each other out.  He was a War correspondent during WWII, and he got blacklisted after the war during the McCarthy era.  Like I said before though, some people are too good.  They overcome, and after a life changing event for a married man, came the classic "The Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich".  The best thing about Shirer??  He isn't a fancy dancy writer.  Meaning he isn't sugar coating the life of Gandhi.  He is telling how great of a man he is naturally, but also telling of his sexual escapades, that may have thrown some of his followers for a loop.  A real Historian yay.  Deifying people while writing history does a ton of damage.  That is why Howard Zinn is so important... or why he was.

Imagine a Revolution won without guns, but won by just showing how Barbaric the ones with the gun powder are?  The U.S. has a history of Barbaric Gun Powder ways, and not the Gandhi way that is for sure.  See Slavery, Indians, Truman Doctrine, etc...  

I just started, but the thing about India as a Country is they were around for 1000's of years, and had a culture, that was well advanced.  Britain at the time thought they were the master race, and the man made coin was what life was about.  People don't do different.  There is a preconceived notion that wherever we were born is the best place.  If you were born in Saudi Arabia, or Japan, or China, or wherever you would think your Country was the best.  FEW PEOPLE STEP OUT OF THAT.  Showing the world you are right by killing people really don't make sense in any kind of logic, but we believe Society.  That is what it teaches, and that is what we believe... unless we step out. 

I am excited for the book.  It seems like it is a good one, and I barely started.  I love reading William Shirer.  Definitely one of my favorite authors. 

Other than that not much going on. 

That is it for today!!!   :)

Thanks for reading!!!   :)

No Idea How This Will Turn Out!! :)

I am pretty sure I have nothing on my mind right now.  :)  I am pretty sure I have nothing important to say either so feel free to skim through.  I would have to say I have absolutely no plan on this thing.  I love my new attitude.  Just wing it.  Roll with the flow.  Live my life do my thing, and let everyone else too.  I am just a bystander sitting on the sidelines just watching people.  We cannot predict our lives for the coming year.  We have no idea how things will turn out.  As time goes on I think I put less and less pressure on myself. 

I don't have to be right in another's eyes, because maybe as time goes on I get stronger and stronger, and I don't really care.  I mean I am not a mass murderer or anything like that so that is good.  I just do this blog thing for whatever reason, although on a day like today, I don't think I have anything to say. 

Well let's move on, yesterday I ran to work, which will make me run 5 days in a row.  Since it was Monday early morning, and my next run is Tuesday evening, that is like a day off.  As long as the legs feel good on Monday it is a good day for me to run, for that reason.  A way to get some miles, while still having plenty of time to recover for my next run. 

Lisa and I decided to go see a movie.  We saw the new Mission Impossible.  It isn't that great.  I definitely suggest the Sherlock Holmes movie or the Dragon Tatoo movie over that one. 

I do have one thing to say, and we all are different, and we all are going through a different time in our lives.  Some want to put away past things, and be strong.  Some others might be dealing with things where they are not that strong yet.  If you are a bit down and out no biggie.  Deal with the things, and that passes.  It is an emotional endurance thing.  The mojo should come back.  We cannot always be on, because life does happen.  Always at times not of our own choosing too.  When life happens we have to deal. 

As time goes on, I come to realize my life is mine to do as I choose.  I choose to live my life simply.  I like hanging with my wife.  I like hanging around my house.  I like drinking when I have the chance.  I don't really do fake people.  I don't really do arrogant people either.  Luckily in my job, I don't have to deal with the general public too much.  A lot of times people are just assholes.  :)  Myself included I guess, but whatever, it is my life, and I can be free to do and be my own person, whatever that is.  I have a feeling it can be any number of things depending on the day.  Nice, jerk, asshole, compassionate.  I am all kinds of things.  Never really the same person day in day out. 

Oh well, I guess I'll stop there.  :)

That is it for today!!!   :)

A January Monday Morning.

No snow on the ground still.  I live in West Michigan and we have had very little snow this year.  Typically we get a lot with the jet stream over a big body of water.  Mild winter so far, and let's face it, we just need to survive the rest of January and February.  Hold on... have to let the stupid cats in and get coffee. 

Okay I am back.  I do want to let you know I did run yesterday.  I knew right away I was probably not going to do my 6 mile loop, cause I had Hope with me, and she is a pain.  Thought of just doing my 3 miler, but the 4 miler has some hills, so did that.  Almost thought of tacking on more with a mile left, but legs got a little tired, so called it good at 4.25.  I didn't time it.  :)

I can tell I am a bit different now.  I am way more laid back, if that is possible.  Life goes on, and I am lucky I do not carry a lot of baggage.  Life is better this way.  I don't sleep with an alarm even though I wake up ungodly early.  I blog, although if I didn't I wouldn't care.  The last couple days the number of people who read my blog in the reader fell from like 15-12, and I don't care.  :)  I have less readers, and I could care less.  I have been pretty faithful to the ones I read though.  I realized life happens, and I will let it.  I am not going to stick my nose where it isn't wanted.  Why bother right??  Just do my thing, and let the chips fall where they may. 

Going to run to work today.  Yesterday I watched, Captain America, The Unforgiven, and Sherlock Holmes 1.  again.  Watched the end of the football games too. 

That is my little update.  Nothing heavy here I don't think.  Hope you all have a fab day.  :)

That is it for today!!!   :)

Now for really really cya cya cya   :D   :D 

You know what I think one thing about me??  I think I see people as being people.  No matter what we do we are just people.  Some may have a better position, or more respected position, but at the end of the day we all are just people.  We all fall vulnerable to our ending, which we all have in common.

Back From The Dead

Well, I thought my computer that is less than one year old took a dump, but she is back from the dead, so I guess I will blog.  I was planning on trying to be a little loosey goosey today anyway.  I know I know who blogs at 3 in the morning on a Sunday morning.  I do that is who.  Why??  Who knows. 

I guess I will start off with the run.  It was Jerry, Jim, and I.  As we started to approach mile 3 or 4, I was falling back from those two.  I had no idea if I was slow or they were fast.  I was thinking I have 10 miles today, and I shouldn't have to struggle to keep up.  So I decided to go at my own pace.  As we reached mile 5 Jim stopped.  Oh.... he was only running 6 so he picked up the pace  a bit.  Me and Jerry were only halfway done.  LOLZ.  The rest of the run was pretty easy.  I didn't time it, but definitely had a pretty good workout. 

I came home, and did dishes, and then went out for lunch.  Ran into Charity and her friend there by coincidence, and talked with them for a while, and filled up my growler, and went over to Beau and Charity's for a bit, and came home around 5 or so.  Lisa made dinner, and I fell asleep watching football.  I know lame lame lame. 

That was my day, it was pretty phun.  :) 

Want to know something I was thinking??  I was thinking I am just waiting to see what happens this year.  See how it unfolds.  Just watch, and wait, and see how things happen.  I love it.  I can already tell this year is going to be better than last year.  Today I have to double up on my run.  I am hoping to get a 6 miler in.  I'll know by 2 miles if I cut it to 3 or 4. 

That is it for today!!!   :)

Thanks for reading!!!   :)
