I'm STILL a self confessing, self professing know-it-all, or so I think!

roof rack & rope!

… who’d have thunk it? Problem solved. Money saved. Was no way I was doling out delivery fee dinero for a bathtub. I’m already getting soaked enough as it is – trust me!

… oh, and that Lowe’s sign in the background, while purely unintentional, is truly fitting … I LOVE Lowe’s!

09/11/1999

Nov. 9, 1999! I’ll never forget it! My sweet little Lily came into my life! Sadly, she left it too soon. It was then I realized … Lily’s the only hope/reason I have for heaven’s existence … and I ain’t fucking joking! As I said before, if it does exist, and when my time comes … I’ll be barreling through, pushing ALL family members aside who went before, wanting to greet me, looking for her, wanting to snatch her in my arms letting her plant those doxie-lapping-kisses all over my mug like she always did! Speaking of heaven – afterlife … November 9th is also the day one of greatest geniuses of this place we call EARTH was born … Carl Sagan! And I leave you (along with a pic of my Lily) with one of his many great quotes, and this one in particular, pertaining to heaven/afterlife!

“It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring” – Carl Sagan

Early Friday Morning 8K!

Chilly morning run! Will be honest, before I even started, was planning to run a 47 minute 10K (was on pace too), but missed that last traffic light … well, you know how it is. Still, am pleased with my 37:17 8K … and today was the coldest temps I’ve endured, minus 4° with the windchill. I bundled up (probably more than necessary), and hit the pavement. Something so calm and peaceful running alone in the early morning!

toss out my fastest/slowest, and only a 4 second split separation …

yep, it’s getting colder …

“inefficiencies aggravate me” – danistrulytheman

… honestly, should read “inefficiencies aggravate the fuck outta me” … toned it down. Looks like a kinder, gentler danistrulytheman rules this blogroost of late. Maybe that’s a good thing. Seriously, you’ve been doing this, repetitively on a basis for who knows how long? Yet it takes me a mere 2 seconds to see its failings and shortcomings and setting you straight? Get your shit together lady!! Btw, thanks for the extra hot sauce. I’m assuming it’s an apologetic attempt, making things right ‘tween you and I … seeing how I was painfully and sufferingly left waiting, ‘nstead of being well on my merry way. Apology accepted … extra hot sauce too!! 😉

I once had a friend

They found her in a car
A hose to the window
And the motor running hot
Seems she couldn’t take it
The rhetoric of life
Someone found her naked
With a note right by her side
By her side oh by her side
She can’t take it back
Neither can I
No neither can I
Mommy and daddy I’ve borrowed the car to sleep on the floor
I’m sorry so much for bringing my own living hell to your door
Thanks for all the flowers at the ringside seat
Thanks for nothing everyone the prayers were too weak
This is the way it happens all the time
Can you pay attention to everyone that cries
Remember you can make it through
And make it new
Only if you try
You better try
Cause you can’t take it back
Neither can I
No neither can I
Mommy and daddy I’ve borrowed the car to sleep on the floor
I’m sorry so much for bringing my own living hell to your door
But things had gotten heavy everything was deep
Nothing really mattered
So I just went to sleep
I just went to sleep
And I can’t take it back
I won’t try
I won’t try
I won’t try
I won’t try
I won’t try

Tuesday 4K w/ a selfie!

I LOVE this pace … 1 kilometer at 4:30/km!! I love running 4Ks at it, 8Ks when my body feels it, I’ve even kept the speed for 10K. NOW, if only I were able to run four consecutive 10Ks maintaining that pace (plus tacking on ten minutes for the extra 2.2 kilometers), then I’d be onto something! For the time being, dancandream, eh?

Toronto is a laughingstock!

Today, Councillor Doug Ford assured me, his bro Mayor Rob Ford will TRY curbing his drinking! WHEW! Oh good, NOW my mind’s at ease.

I’m just guessing, but something tells me Dougie’s laden with doubt himself, seems to be hedging his bets? We all know what they say ’bout trying … “if at first you don’t succeed …”

crisscrossed lines!

… if that ain’t life’s ultimate metaphor, I don’t know what is. Beautiful iPhone pic taken while stopped at a traffic light on a bleak autumn November day! You can see the sun willing itself to peek through the heavy cloud cover, silhouetting the plane, as it passes preparing to land. Hmmm, can this shot win some sorta iPhone pic snappin’ award, lol?!

We’re a broken people living under loaded gun

And it can’t be outfought
It can’t be outdone
It can’t be outmatched
It can’t be outrun
No

Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go

Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go
Lift me up, let me go

God bless us everyone
