100 miles

In the last 53 days I have run 100 miles. This is the most I have run in a two month period since October/November of 1988 when I was 
-working at the Forestville Gap
-a senior at Oxon Hill High School
-Driving a ten year old red car (somethings do not change but I did not have Satellite radio) 
-running cross country
-my computer was an Adam (or was it an 8086?)

I am running at a much slower pace though. I doubt I could make the team but who knows as I am still considering being a backup fullback for the Raiders starting in October. 

I am thinking of making the new goal to be 110 miles in 49 days. I am increasing the mileage by 10% and shortening the days by 4. 

Met up with the crew from Enterprise including captain Cohen and Mr Will whose birthday is today. He told me that they showed Love Story on his flight from Mexico.

98.4 miles down 1.6 to go....

If I wanted to, I could reach my goal of running 100 miles with three laps around the complex but I am spent. 
Will hit it tomorrow and then Friday, I will rest before I run up to the top of the bank of America building. 

Before boot camp, I ran 2.99 miles and then we ran hard and they were times I felt like saying sod this! but I did not. 


Tomorrow will be the 53rd day since I started so I am finishing 31 days early. 

I am downloading the Robbie Williams album with Mr Bojangles.

Last night I went to quiz dates and met some nice women. One of them was geographically desirable and has a black and white dog. People on the street say that I am picky but normally they have bad credit, cat allergies and live in Walnut Creek. Our team was one point away from victory. I should form an elite quiz team.






By the way, the other day, I overheard a woman say, “I don’t gamble, I just buy lotto tickets.”

Gwen, a regular reader and someone who bases their life on my choices, was getting the covers of her opposite of fred digits painted when she heard one of the other patrons say, "I don't gamble, I just buy lotto tickets."
At first I was angered upon hearing this person that was so stupid but then it made me feel fuzzy.
The lottery is 1) an idiot tax and 2) a tax for people that are bad at math.
People should have more lottery options.

News

For the most part, I am not a big follower of the news (but yet I am great at Trivia) but I always like stories about Bao Xishun, the world's tallest man. A few months ago, he used his opposite of fred extensions to help dolphins and now he got married.

Annoyed with AT&T

I got a notice in the mail that my minimum monthly service charge on my AT&T Long Distance. I use my land line for long distance calls as much as I use my telegraph. 
So I call 1-800-967-4890 to cancel the service but they are closed. I am very annoyed with David Dorman (who is the CEO)
Tomorrow I have to call them to cancel the service. This goes on my list of better things I could be doing. 

Anyway I ran 2.96 miles. Had dinner at slice. Only did half of fred container you wear in the snow class. I am 6.4 miles away from my goal. All will be well. I will go into toil plenty so I can run 3 miles and take a shower (by popular demand)

So many things in life are out of your opposite of freds. You must'nt grumble. 

Will regal you with the goings on of the past few days. Rachel Reid called me out for being redundant in my writing. I simply state what I listen to on my satellite radio, mention any cute dogs and complain about such things as saucers (porcelain, not flying except on Mermaid Avenue). I remember hearing about some Danish movie called the four restrictions but I have not been to a foreign film in a while. Will need to go to the post office to pick up my Pakistani Vampire Poster. 

Went to the German tourist house. Was tempted to turn around as I got lost but I am glad I kept the course. Between the beer, the company of foxy librarians, a tuxedo cat and a standard poodle it was a grand day. This was the first time I ever saw a silver standard poodle. There was also a doberman with a great temperment. They were friends which made me think how it was different than the 1980's incident with Jeff, Noel and the Doberman. (Noel saved the day)

Went to the Balboa to see a movie with Rachel and Desiree. 
It was very much movie watching weather in the Richmond. Felt like being a Superhero with a dark side. 

I have been told that the Zombies, Odessey and Oracle is the British answer to Pet Sounds yet I cannot find it on iTunes or eMusic. I may actually have to go into the record shoppe.
Bring it round my desk if you have it.

Points can be scored if you know about the Sirens of Titan. If I ever had to go back to any of the Moons of Saturn, it would be Titan. Had a good time. 



Wild Story

Andrea told me that Dad told her that while out on a walk with Cosmo in the fields near the compound, Cosmo saw a cat and ran after said cat and chased said cat up a tree. This is way out of character for Cosmo and I will have to ask him the next time we speak.

90.6 Miles Down and 9.4 Miles to go

My favorite time of day is dusk. 
I like how it is typically cooler and the colors and the sunset reflecting off any malinkey that may be around. 

Mountain View has some nice sunsets with the clouds and the setting sun combining to form some amazing combinations. 

I ran before opposite of fred fred container you wear in the snow class because yesterday we were in the classroom. 
It turned out it was a day of running so I got closer to my goal of 100 miles in 12 weeks. In fact I have 38 days left. 
I think I will pass it this weekend. 
Will need to set another goal. The Nike iPod thing is one of the greatest gadgets. 

I have run 100/10,000.000 or .00001% of the total mileage. 

Four members of the soccer team were practicing while I had boot camp. I am not going to play beyond this season. Sugar Ray says it reminds him of his fight against Terry Norris.

Rice from the Amazon...

I though of something that was totally funny and totally blogable but I forgot what it is. 

I think it was the fact that I have been informed that you can order cereal and milk from Amazon. 

I guess they are people who toil away from Lucky Charms and Fiber One and Yogurt placed in a plastic tumbler so they need to resort in ordering cereal and rice from an online bookseller. 

I think in October I am considering going to Eastern Europe. I have enough Airline miles for a free flight

American Idol

After much thought I have decided not to vote in the whole American Idol thing as I do not watch nor care about the show. 
(Also I cannot get the number without watching and like smoking, I think I would be sucked in)
This is one of those rare moves that will make both Eric the Astronaut and my Mum happy. 

I ran 2.81 miles so I am around 14 miles away from my goal of 100 miles. 

I took Gandolf for a walk today. He is a good dog.

American Idol divides

http://www.votefortheworst.com/

American Idol is one of those mainstream things like Nascar, Wal Mart, the NHL, NBA, Commercial Radio and the Pirates movie that I am simply not interested in.

This week I will be voting simply to annoy Eric.

Cave Prize

If you are looking for a good song, listen to 1952 Vincent Black Lightning by Richard Thompson. 

If motorcycles were not so dangerous (and on the whole. your humble narrator avoids danger) they would be fun but I know how hard they are to see. Richard Kim told me the story of one of his droogs who broke his opposite of fred extension when he rode his other friends bike. 

I did ride my bicycle to the other building. It is way better than getting into the Marcusmobile. 

I got mixed up between Katie and Charlotte and some documents. If you know them this is like getting mixed up between Noel and Sasha. 


My fred extensions were a bit sore but it was not too bad. As I had to toil longer than planned I missed part of fred container that you wear in the snow. I think this session will be more outside which is way better. 

Here is another song by Bonnie Tyler.
I like her raspy voice. Perhaps she could use a cave prize snowman cup with straws full of honey. I would not want to partake because I hate being sticky. 

Every now and then I fall apart...
I like it when she said "I looked like a poodle..."





Continental Airlines...

So my Sister and my Mum have traveled to Houston to visit family deep in the heart of Texas.

I am grumpy with Larry Kellner Continental Airlines as he lost my Mothers luggage. Normally this is not a big deal and you end up going to a Sears Surplus with a $100 voucher but this is a major mistake.
http://www.continental.com/web/en-US/content/company/investor/bios.aspx#kellner

We did the Video Conferencing  thing and I recited lines and plot lines from Star Wars Episode IV. Andrea could not understand the concept of prequels.

Marcus Runs a 12 K

I got up insanely early to get a parking spot for the 12K. We had
shuttle busses taking us to the North Bay start.
I mentally broke the run into three runs 2.7, 2.75 and 1.3 but I did
not stop as it is hard for me to start again.

So far I have run 81.8 miles towards my goal of 100 miles so I should
break that in about a week or so.

My next big race is Bay to Breakers.

Marcus goes to Hidden Villa on St Patricks Day

I was supposed to meet some randoms for a hike but I did not budget
enough time and I got lost but as I was in Los Altos, I happened
across a place called Hidden Villa.
http://www.hiddenvilla.org

I have thought about chucking technology and living on the land by my
opposite of freds but we all know I would get made of wood after 48
hours.

You can rent the cabin for the weekend. It will be like going to Big
Sur without the long drive.

Went to the Urban Diversion house for St Patricks day as I was
running a 12 K I was not going to be drinking. Made it an early night.

Marcus purchases a new vehicle!


So I splurged and purchased a new vehicle!!

I am sometimes faced with the challenge of getting a fair distance and I simply do not want to get into the Marcusmobile. 
Our office has some bicycles for public use but at times they are all in use and besides they have these big flags for some odd reason. 

Maria, Sandee and I rode through the short cut. The chain fell off of Sandee's bike and since I am so good with my opposite of freds I fixed it. 

I am listening to a remake of "Oops! I DId it again Live" by Richard Thompson. 

Picked up Raider and Brando for duty. The lesson of the day is to not walk two large dogs with one bag. 
The first one went and I used the one bag. On the way back I saw a seeing eye dog in my path and thought it would be wise to change course so I walked by the volleyball court and there was a wall so  had to keep walking. Sure enough the second dog left a large prize. I had to tie them to a tree and went looking for a bag. Was unable to find one so I used a series of paper cups and paper towels to remove the material. As I was done, someone walked by with a tray full of plastic bags. Even with all of that I had a good time with the pups. 

So you are puzzled by the subject and the first line. 

Here is what happened. I saw an e-mail about a bike for sale. When I ride a bike, I like one that is a bit more durable for all the jumps off ramps that I am known to do. (so the new vehicle is a bike). I run the 1.46 miles to the other office with a pocket full of cash and call the seller. I see someone coming out of the building with a bike and I approach him with an opposite of fredful of cash trying to buy the bike. He responds by saying that it was not his bike for sale and he seemed a bit confused. Then someone else came down and he was the actual seller of the bike. 

I ride it back to the office and lock it up. 

Baby Elephants are the best!


I grab a salad and tuna and sit outside and the security tells me the March Madness scores. He was shocked Duke lost. The NCAA tournament is one of those things I could care less about because no matter what, I am not eligible to play (gave it up in 1994 for the NBA draft)


So splurged ich und kaufte einen neuen Träger!! Ich werde manchmal mit der Herausforderung des Erhaltens eines angemessenen Abstandes gegenübergestellt und ich einfach möchte nicht in das Marcusmobile erhalten. Unser Büro hat einige Fahrräder für allgemeinen Gebrauch, aber manchmal alle sind sie im Gebrauch und außer ihnen haben diese grossen Markierungsfahnen aus etwas ungeradem Grund. Maria, Sandee und ich ritten durch den kurzen Schnitt. Die Kette fiel vom Fahrrad Sandees herunter und da ich mit meinem Entgegengesetzten von freds I so gut bin, regelte es. Ich höre zu einem Remake von "Oops! Ich wiederholte es Phasen "durch Richard Thompson. Aufgehobener Räuber und Brando für Aufgabe. Die Lektion des Tages soll nicht gehen zwei große Hunde mit einem Beutel. Das erste man ging und ich benutzte den einen Beutel. Auf der Weise zurück sah ich, daß ein sehender Auge Hund in meinem Weg und gedacht ihm klug sein würde, Kurs zu ändern, also ich durch das Volleyballgericht ging und es gab, eine Wand also zu gehen halten mußte. Sicher genug verließ der zweite Hund einen großen Preis. Ich mußte sie an einen Baum binden und ging, nach einem Beutel zu suchen. War nicht imstande, ein zu finden, also benutzte ich eine Reihe Papierschalen und Papiertücher, um das Material zu entfernen. Wie ich getan wurde, ging jemand vorbei mit einem Behälter, der von den Plastiktaschen voll ist. Sogar mit den ganzen das hatte ich eine gute Zeit mit den Welpen. So werden Sie durch das Thema und die erste Linie verwirrt. Ist hier, was geschah. Ich sah eine E-mail über ein Fahrrad für Verkauf. Wenn ich ein Fahrrad reite, mag ich ein, das eine Spitze ist, die für alle Sprünge weg von den Rampen haltbarer ist, daß ich tue bekannt (also ist der neue Träger ein Fahrrad). Ich lasse die 1.46 Meilen zum anderen Büro mit einer Tasche laufen, die vom Bargeld voll ist und rufe den Verkäufer an. Ich sehe, daß jemand, welches aus das Gebäude mit einem Fahrrad herauskommen und ich ihm mit einem Entgegengesetzten von fredful des Bargeldes sich nähern Sie, das versucht, das Fahrrad zu kaufen. Er reagiert, indem er sagt, daß es nicht sein Fahrrad für Verkauf war und er eine verwirrte Spitze schien. Dann kam jemand anderes unten und er war der tatsächliche Verkäufer des Fahrrades. Ich reite es zurück zu dem Büro und verriegele es oben. Baby-Elefanten sind das beste! http://www.africaguide.com/images/library/rd003.jpg Ich ergreife einen Salat und einen Thunfisch und sitze äußeres und die Sicherheit erklärt mir die März Verrücktheit Kerben. Er war der entsetzte verlorene Herzog. Das NCAA Turnier ist eine jener Sachen, die ich weniger ungefähr mich interessieren könnte weil, egal was, ich nicht geeignet bin zu spielen (gab sie oben 1994 für den NBA Entwurf)


Έτσι και αγόρασα ένα νέο όχημα!! Βρίσκομαι αντιμέτωπος μερικές φορές με την πρόκληση να πάρω μια δίκαιη απόσταση και απλά δεν θέλω να πάρω στο Marcusmobile. Το γραφείο μας έχει μερικά ποδήλατα για τη δημόσια χρήση αλλά κατά περιόδους είναι όλα σε χρήση και εκτός από αυτά έχουν αυτές τις μεγάλες σημαίες για κάποιο περίεργο λόγο. Μαρία, Sandee και οδήγησα μέσω της σύντομης περικοπής. Η αλυσίδα έπεσε μακριά του ποδηλάτου Sandee και δεδομένου ότι είμαι τόσο καλός με το αντίθετο freds μου εγώ το καθόρισε. Ακούω μια νέα έκδοση "Oops! Ι DId αυτό πάλι ζωντανό "από Richard Thompson. Παρμένοι επιδρομέας και Brando για το καθήκον. Το μάθημα της ημέρας είναι να μην περπατηθούν δύο μεγάλα σκυλιά με μια τσάντα. Ο πρώτος πήγε και χρησιμοποίησα τη μια τσάντα. Στον τρόπο πλάτη εβλέίδα ένα να δω σκυλί ματιών στην πορεία μου και σκέφτηκα ότι θα ήταν σοφό να αλλαχτεί η σειρά μαθημάτων έτσι περπάτησα από το δικαστήριο πετοσφαίρισης και υπήρξε ένας τοίχος έπρεπε έτσι να συνεχίσει. Αρκετά βέβαιο το δεύτερο σκυλί άφησε ένα μεγάλο βραβείο. Έπρεπε να τους δέσω σε ένα δέντρο και πήγα μια τσάντα. Ήταν ανίκανος να βρεί το ένα έτσι χρησιμοποίησα μια σειρά φλυτζανιών εγγράφου και πετσετών εγγράφου για να αφαιρέσω το υλικό. Όπως έγινα, κάποιος που περπατιέται κοντά με ένα σύνολο δίσκων των πλαστικών τσαντών. Ακόμη και με το όλο ότι είχα έναν καλό χρόνο με τα κουτάβια. Έτσι μπερδεύεστε από το θέμα και την πρώτη γραμμή. Εδώ είναι τι συνέβη. Εβλέίδα ένα ηλεκτρονικό ταχυδρομείο για ένα ποδήλατο για την πώληση. Όταν οδηγώ ένα ποδήλατο, συμπαθώ ένα που είναι λίγο ανθεκτικότερο για όλα τα άλματα από τις κεκλιμένες ράμπες ότι είμαι γνωστός κάνω (έτσι το νέο όχημα είναι ένα ποδήλατο). Τρέχω τα 1,46 μίλια στο άλλο γραφείο με ένα σύνολο τσεπών των μετρητών και καλώ τον πωλητή. Βλέπω κάποιο το κτήριο με ένα ποδήλατο και τον πλησιάζω με ένα αντίθετο fredful των μετρητών που προσπαθούν να αγοράσω το ποδήλατο. Αποκρίνεται με το ρητό ότι δεν ήταν το ποδήλατό του για την πώληση και φάνηκε λίγο ταραγμένος. Κατόπιν κάποιος άλλος ήρθε κάτω και ήταν ο πραγματικός πωλητής του ποδηλάτου. Τον οδηγώ πίσω στο γραφείο και τον κλειδώνω. Οι ελέφαντες μωρών είναι το καλύτερο! http://www.africaguide.com/images/library/rd003.jpg Αρπάζω μια σαλάτα και έναν τόνο και κάθομαι εξωτερικό και την ασφάλεια μου λέω τα αποτελέσματα τρέλας Μαρτίου. Ήταν συγκλονισμένος δούκας που χάθηκε. Τα ncaa πρωταθλήματα είναι ένα από εκείνα τα πράγματα που θα μπορούσα να φροντίσω λιγότερο για επειδή ο οποίος, εγώ δεν είναι επιλέξιμος για να παίξει (το έδωσε επάνω το 1994 για το σχέδιο NBA)

Hollyrock and Pakistani Vampire Movies

Last week I appeared in the video. From what I understand, I open AND close the video which got me thinking that perhaps I should go down to Hollyrock and try my opposite of fred at the acting thing. For a couple of weeks I could go on auditions and get a really cliche toiling such as a waiter. (honestly I think I will be joining the Oakland Raiders as a fullback before I wait tables) 
I have no issue with waiting tables but I think I would simply be really bad at it. 
Perhaps I could audition to be in the remake of such Pakistani Vampire movies such as PYASA SHAITAN. 

My current spot of toil is really nice but a bit far from some offices and I do not like getting into the Marcusmobile to drive the short distance (that is really bad driving) so they provide us with a series of bicyclette. As I was riding, the lace from my fred container got caught up in the fred pedal of the bicyclette. 

La semaine dernière je suis apparu dans la vidéo. De ce que je comprends, j'ouvre ET ferme la vidéo qui m'a obtenu pensant que peut-être je devrais descendre à Hollyrock et essayer mon opposé de fred à la chose temporaire. Un couple des semaines je pourrais aller chercher sur des auditions et m'obtenir vraiment à un cliché travaillant fort comme un serveur (honnêtement je pense je joindrai les voleurs d'Oakland car un arrière avant que je serve des tables) n'ai aucune issue avec les tables d'attente mais je pense que je serais simplement vraiment mauvais à elle. Peut-être je pourrais auditionner pour être dans le refaire de tels films pakistanais de vampire tels que PYASA SHAITAN. Ma tache courante de travail dur est vraiment gentille mais un peu loin de quelques bureaux et moi n'aime pas entrer dans le Marcusmobile pour conduire la distance courte (qu'est à dire conduite vraiment mauvaise) ainsi ils nous fournissent une série de bicyclette. Pendant que je montais, le lacet du mon fred le récipient se fait attraper vers le haut dans fred la pédale du bicyclette.

Will told me about the passing of one of his dogs. 

He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs
throughout the south
He spoke through tears of 15 years how his dog and him
traveled about
The dog up and died, he up and died
And after 20 years he still grieves 

I ran 2.61 miles which means that I have 26.5 miles to reach my goal and all will be well. 






Fwd: woof

These are pictures of some jerk dogs that I hate.

Tryst thinks that you would like to see pictures of 26 corgis. Well really it is more like 23 because some corgis are not in the pictures.

Perspective

Much of life are minor details that in the long run do not matter that much. 
Woke up late and took the 280 as I do not enjoy sitting in traffic. Gas is $3.24 a gallon and there is no reason. I would take the shuttle but I get motion sickness. This would prevent me from going up in the Space Shuttle again. 
I did not know the PLANET Pluto had three moons. I still consider Pluto to be both a dog and a planet and I sit in disagreement with many learned scientist. 

Had lunch with Gwen at Plymouth. I am focusing back on the spinach/protein that I had success with in the past and will avoid calorically dense breakfast foods. Of course I am avoiding juices and sodas. 

Saw Alison and the recent events in her life put everything going on in mine in perspective. What happened will happen and it is part of the order of things but makes it no easier. 

Ran 2.53 miles in the evening. Tomorrow is 2.55 miles.

Chimp

It was an odd evening. 

I did not get anyone needing a ride so I called 511 and they said 101 was boots so I went to 280. I stopped off at Sears as they were going out of business but now they are not going out of business. There was no mention that recently they were closing the store. It was empty but no longer being closed. Very odd. (I was killing time as I had time before going to the zoo)

Then I went to Safeway where I spent $50 on cat and cleaning products to get my $5 off a $50 purchase. I bought a swisher. 

The Zoo event was fun but not what I expected I thought we would be able to walk around the zoo and part of me expected chimp bartenders and waiters or at least a chimp band.

21 Columbus Reunion

Went to Plymouth for a 21 Columbus reunion and I ran into Ocean's Dad. I must opposite of fred it to Arne that they did pick out a cool name.
I did like the original Oceans Eleven with the Rat Pack with the 21st century version.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psMpqOcyErQ

Tonight is the last night of my fred container that you where in the snow class. It is over till the next Monday.

We have not found Pluto. Makes me think of Lumpy and Noel.

Post-toil we had an off site and Maria and Sandee thought my like of having woman's hair up in a bun and then released was quite funny. I tried to find a video of the slow hair release but then it will be super popular in about two years.
We were all at a place in Mountain View.

I think the Lord of the Rings is highly over rated. In the 1960's the crew from Star Trek wanted to team up with the Beatles to make it which I think would have been far better.

Gonna change from city boy to country man

Well you say you got the blues,
Got holes in both of your fred containers,
Feelin alone and confused,
You got to keep on smilin, keep on smilin

Yeah, youre about to go insane,
Cause your womans playing games
And she says that youre to blame,
You got to keep on smilin, keep on smilin

Keep on smilin through the rain, laughin at the pain
Rollin with the changes til the sun comes out again
Keep on smilin through the rain, laughin at the pain
Rollin with the changes, singin this refrain

Singin in a honky tonk cafe,
Nobodys hearin what you play,
Theyre too busy drinkin anyway,
You got to keep on smilin, keep on smilin

You say you found a peace of land
Gonna change from city boy to country man
Try to build your life with your opposite of freds
You got to keep on smilin, keep on smilin

Chorus

Youre just hangin out in a local bar,
And youre wonderin who the hell you are
Are you a bum or are you a star?

2.33 Miles

So far I have run 58.61 miles since February 4th. My initial goal was
to run 100 miles in 12 weeks.
Tomorrow I will 2.4 miles to put me an even 60. Or I may make it 2.35.

I must say I am really impressed with Nike and Apples Web 2.0
application.

I ran this morning from my old building through a park and onto a
golf course when I heard the half way point and turned around.

A week from Sunday I am doing a 12 K which I am going to break into
two for the iPod.

Borat/Lost Dogs

One thing that always makes me sad are lost dog signs. I posted some signs with pictures of Pluto. 

On another note it turns out that at the compound they want to watch the movie Borat. 

Here is what happened when I went to go see the movie. He stole my red hat.

Here is his fred container chair joke

I am thinking this will be like when I told my brother to see the movie Sideways. He took his son and Mum. 




LOST DOG: PLUTO

One of my favorite dogs, Pluto is missing.

He still has a blue leash and collar attached.
He is an 18lb terrier mix last seen around 1600 Plymouth Ave.

Marcus dreams that he was going to the Soviet Union

Most of my readers hate it when I write about my dreams. They simply want a recount of the days events as explained by me with some pictures of dogs thrown in. 

Anyway last night I had a dream that I was traveling business class to the old Soviet Union. I was really thrilled to be traveling business class but then was disappointed 

Man I had a dreadful flight. 

I was not quite sure why I was going or even if I wanted to go. 

I was considering going to Las Vegas the weekend of April 15th but I checked the flights and was made of wood on the schedule. I am not a big fan of Las Vegas but it has been a few years. 

Right now I want to get another 8,000 or 18,000 United miles to fly to either Europe or Australia/New Zealand in October. Maybe South America. Perhaps I could ride across Siberia on a Motorcycle. 

I am sure the made of wood comments will come strolling in. Anyway I ran 2.3 miles. You would take an inch but you would love a mile. So far I have run 55.6 miles towards my goal of 100 miles. 

Every day in your indigo eyes, I watch the sunset but I do not see it rise. 

The DVD for Borat is released and I may actually buy it. That is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. It would be up with Spinal Tap.

12 2.2

After toiling but before opposite of fred boot camp, I went for a run, 2.2 miles. In a couple of weeks I am running a 12K over the Golden Gate Bridge.

I find myself far more motivated to run when I have something to work towards. 

Fred container you wear the snow kicked me down in the head. I am quite fatigued but thats good. It provides a break in the day. 

Next week we have off which will be nice. 

After the last class I will try and get Maria G, Jane, Mel, Laura and perhaps the guy from South African dude or Debbie L (who is quite a good soccer player) to go to the Blackhorse but I think the Sports Page is more likely. 



Noel and Cosmo saving the family

In the 1970's Noel saved Jeff and I at separate times.
Many years later Cosmo makes sure everyone takes their medication at the proper time.

George also has helped out.

Kickball Season Three

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrHkb0ZPsaE

It was a super nice day.
Had a soccer game in the morning (we lost 3-0)
Went to the Haight/Golden Gate Park to meet up with the Kickball team.

Traded in some CD's at Amoebas. Will be putting on my music onto my
hard drive and will be getting rid of that CD rack.
Check out Money Mark.

It was good seeing the team. Kickball is way funner than Soccer.

Here I go again

I heard "Here I go again" on Classic rewind and it made me think back twenty years when I was driving my 1978 Ford Pinto to either Oxon Hill or Forestville Park Mall Gap. 
<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aqg8TAZ9oJE"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aqg8TAZ9oJE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

So even though I liked some good music, I also had some crappy taste in some things. 

My car at the time was nine years old and my current ride, is 10.

      Congratulations! You are not susceptible to brainwashing, your values and cares extend beyond the borders of your own country, and your Blind Patriotism does not reach unhealthy levels. <b>If you had been German in the 30s, you would've left the country.</b>

<br><br>

One bad scenario -- as I hypothetically project you back in time -- is that you just wouldn't have cared one way or the other about Nazism. Maybe politics don't interest you enough.  But the fact that you took this test means they probably do. I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt.<br><br>
 Did you know that many of the smartest Germans departed prior to the beginning of World War II, because they knew some evil shit was brewing? Brain Drain. Many of them were scientists. It is very possible you could have been one of them.
<br><br>
Conclusion: <b>born and raised in Germany in the early 1930's, you would not have been a Nazi.</b><br><br>
