I seriously have no clue what to write anymore on this blog. I mean, my writing’s progress has slowed to a bloody halt because it has. I’ve gotten nothing accomplished…until today.
It was a typical August for me, which means it wasn’t fun at all. August is usually the month that my “high on life” ends and I have to end up taking the next few months to rebuild it.
The inactivity in my writing also carried over into running/cycling. Course, I’ve now contracted my second ingrown toenail in less than a year. It’s frustrating because I’ve literally done everything and them some of what I was told to do to prevent it from returning, but lo-and-behold its back. What makes it even more frustrating is that I can’t run.
Yeah, I should be riding my bike, but alas, the front rim is warped, causing it to rub against the front brakes when it rotates and slow me down considerably. The way I ride is much like how Lance Armstrong rides, which is with a high cadence, which is the cycling term for the revolutions you make with the pedals. Armstrong on average is somewhere near 120rpm on his pedals, and I aim for that when riding, but I can’t since my bike is semi-busted.
I’ve also made up my mind to invest in a decent road bike. I’ll be dropping a little over a grand into a bike, but its well worth it.
A video of Lance because he rawks so amazingly.
Been listening to a lot of U2, Explosions In The Sky and Boards of Canada again. I’ve also gotten into Kanye West thanks to his song “Stronger”. He was kind enough to collaborate with Daft Punk for the song, and included them in the video for the song. Anyone who uses Daft Punk and recognizes them like that is on my good side.
So yeah, writing hasn’t been all that good lately, but I thinkbroke through my mental barrier today because I drilled out about 300 words in less than an hour, which in case you don’t know much about writing, that’s quite a burst.
I want to talk about how I’ve been feeling lately, which is purely amazing, but I think I’ll save that for a later blog so I can get back to writing.
Okay, not all “porno” is bad in my eyes. It’s actually quite amusing. Well, amusing when it’s laughed at, like in this video from some European sketch-comedy show.
Where would this blog be with you Europeans? Probably in the trash.
That’s a wonderful phrase.
“UFOPORNO!!!”
I think the next time I’m at school, I’ll scream that.
Asuki is my new puppy. Born on June 30th at 2am. She is 7 weeks old as of today.
Asuki is a mix breed of Poodle, Pomeranian and Maltese. She weighs 2.6 lbs and has already learned that grass is the proper place to poop or pee. Quite amazing for a puppy I’ve had for only 24 hours.
My other dog, Friskee, is not exactly happy about the new puppy (and that’s the understatment of my life). But give her a few weeks, and she’ll be fine.
This is why I’m currently not writing and will probably not be writing for the next month since I have taken on the full responsibility of raising her.
But then again, with a face as cute as this, could you resist?
I also saw something else that was cute while we were at dinner to celebrate my parents 31st Wedding Anniversary.
A Corvette Z06: my dream car.
That’s a $75,000 car and can beat a Ferrari F430, which is a $250,000 car. It’s a poor man’s Ferrari killer.
7L V8. 505bhp. 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. 205mph top speed.
It was a small attempt at writing a blog to voice an opinion of mine on the subject that is buried within its title. It appears now that the article caught the attention of someone, and now is linked on the very site that I used and cited as my sources for the information within that blog entry.
I was very surprised to see that same link as a “Click” that landed me a hit on my blog. Curiously, I clicked it. Lo and behold, there was a link to my blog.
I’ll have a more comprehensive blog up tonight, so stayed tuned.
Anti-Hero; noun: A main character in a dramatic or narrative work who is characterized by a lack of traditional heroic qualities, such as idealism or courage.
I think that sums it up pretty well. Barry Bonds, now one away from tying and two away from taking the lead is an anti-hero. Sure, Hank Aaron had the racism hanging over his head. Barry’s got steroid allegations, a federal investigation and thousands of booing fans everywhere he goes…except San Francisco.
I hope he breaks the record. Sure, people wont like it, but this whole home-run chase has really brought out the side of sports that no one wanted you to know about. I think we should all hail Bonds as the perfect anti-hero. He’s the one who opened the can or worms, and he’s the one who could end up being blamed as the primary reason that steroids fall away in baseball. For that, I think we should consider him the ultimate anti-hero.
Anyways, Barry is old news as far as I’m concerned. Go ahead and let him get the record. By the middle of the next decade, we’ll all be watching Alex Rodriguez smashing past Bond’s upcoming record.
Uh, I’m still trying to figure out what to put here. I mean, my blog is about me and a pursuit of my dream: to become a published author.
You’d think for someone wanting to be an author, I could write a simple description here. It’s quite simple: I’m blogging about becoming published, which hopefully people will want to follow along. Hell, maybe this’ll help out others with the same dream as mine. You know, kinda’ like a “Follow the same path” kind of thing, but not so heavy on the philosophy. Who knows, people may read this just because they find it amusing, interesting or completely repulsive. Either case, I hope they like it.
It’s going to be a long road, as my goal is being published by the end of 2008. Whether I make that dream a reality or fail to do so, I’ll be here letting you know what it’s like to try.
“Have Adrenaline — Will Travel” refers to my philosophy on life, which is summed up in a single sentence:
