It’s a good news, bad news situation

Depending largely on your state of mind

I believe we’re on the road to wreck and ruin

But the good news is, we’re makin’ damn good time.

Just like last time, I still think he has no chance of winning. But just like last time, he will have the ability to shift the debate towards more libertarian ideas. The big difference this time around is that Gary Johnson is also running. So instead of being the only libertarian voice in the mainstream debate, there will now be two voices–one a little more extreme than the other. Just   Read More ...

Be emo. I’m ok with it. But please go back a few years and do your homework to see how whining is properly done…with good melody and kick-ass guitar.

Second time I done it on my own…

I’ve been substituting my regular run scheduled for Thursday evenings with 7s rugby practice for the summer. Thursdays aren’t really long runs, so I figure I can go out and burn more calories playing rugby while having fun and getting a good run in. It’s good cross training because it works every muscle, especially core muscles. I end up spiking and recovering my heart rate instead of keeping it steady   Read More ...

The plan for today’s swim was to warmup with a 300sw/100kick/100sw. Then some sprints, 4×200, and a 200 swim down.

Instead of the 4×200 I decided to do a straight 800 and try to find an even stride.   Read More ...

You beat yourself up ’cause you love it. Let it go. Let it go. Let it go.

I’d like to turn off time And kill my mind

Starting to realize how much I reveal about my age with this playlist. It’s a good ‘un for the bike too.

Jerry Jeff Walker — What I Like About Texas Robert Earl Keen — Jesse With the Long Hair Cory Morrow — Always And Forever (Live) Robert Earl Keen — What I Really Mean Ray Wylie Hubbard — Conversation with the Devil Pat Green — Somewhere Between Texas And Mexico Jerry Jeff Walker — Navajo Rug Robert Earl Keen — Copenhagen   Read More ...

Cash in. Did I ever tell you about the time I was playing craps with Carson Daly and Dave Navarro? No? Then you may safely infer my losses were heavy.

Tesla – Gettin’ Better. The only thing that could make this better was if you replaced every cigarette in the video with a Coors Light tall boy. That’s a program I could get with.

Great for beating yourself up during a run because what you did last night is causing you great pain now.
