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

she’s the life that breathes in me

got a feelin’ that forever we are gonna stay together
for me there’s nothin’ better you’re the biggest part of me

well make a wish baby well I know we’ll make it come true 
make a list baby of the things I’ll do for you
ain’t no risk now in lettin’ my love rain down on you
so we could wash away the past so that we may start anew

more than an easy feelin’ she brings joy to me
how can I tell you what it means to me
flow like a lazy river for an eternity
I’ve finally found someone who believes in me and I’ll never leave

“too bad, coulda saved you a lot of money” – bike riding renovator

… LOL!! I ain’t kidding either!! I heard about the guy, and today I witnessed it first hand. Apparently he hangs around the neighbourhood trying to drum up business. A renovator (read scam artist, lol), without a vehicle, without tools, definitely without any license. As we were leaving walking towards the car, he rode past, blurting something out about ‘not hearing from you’, before turning his head and delivering this gem as he continued pedalling, LOL!!

I ain’t missin’ iGoogle after November 1, 2013!

Maybe it’s been my fault all along for having People as one of the widgets on my iGoogle homepage. Maybe I shoulda jettisoned that widgebitch ages ago. What I do know is this; I could give a flying fuck how Kanye West proposed, how Jake Gyllenhaal lost weight for some retarded role in a movie you couldn’t make me/pay me $$ to see, how Julia Roberts swoonscrappola … “my husband made me believe in myself in a whole new way” that makes me wanna violently spewpuke … and how some Jersey shithead knocked up some broad, who now is some Jersey shithead proud poppa to be … that I give even LESS of a rat’s ass about!

it’s a fragile thing this life we lead

want you to know that should I go
I always loved you held you high above too
I studied your face and the fear goes away
but all things change let this remain

fed up to the gills!

Just asking again … ARGHHH! Had this written ready to send … somewhere in WP SUPPORT re upgrades, but am posting here instead! It ain’t snippy … is it?!?!

yeah, sure i wanna upgrade … spend some of my hard earned cash, help my blog along the way. thing is, i’m unimpressed with wp not directing many of my blogposts to specifically targeted topics, and more unimpressed with wp non-responding to simple queries wondering why?

Zippy 4K!

I needed it! I’d a rough go of late, with missed training and illness, it really has been a struggle. Today’s run was reconfirmation!

After my fast 4K accomplishment, jogging home at a relaxed, comfortable pace finishing up my running, was in order. Near the end, I was waved down by an old lady using a walker thingie with wheels. She was looking for an address, I offered help, but with her advanced age, and needing assistance walking … and more importantly knowing she’d have about 1 kilometer more to go pushing, supporting herself on that old-fogey stroller thingie, I asked, “how far can you go?” … “as far as I have to” was her speedy smiling reply. You go grandma, I thought, lol! And, not one to miss an opportunity, she took a moment to solicit me with some religious crap (pamphlet/literature). Naturally, I took it and thanked her kindly … I didn’t want her to think that her long life spent peddling fantasies were in vain!

map to heaven – just what I need, lol …

if I want to sit in and drink Super Tennent’s in the day I will, no one’s going to fucking tell me jack!

but can you rely on anyone in this world
no you can’t it’s not my fault there’s wall to wall empty cans
everyone wanted this to all go wrong for me from the start
it’s fucked up that a man’s life can just be attacked
watching this morning with a beer is much better than relying on
unknown cunts for mates I was given that don’t have my back

so here I am in my house drinking on my own settee
everyone’s a cunt in this life no one’s there for me

It’s In The Way That You Use It

Nobody’s right till somebody’s wrong
Nobody’s weak till somebody’s strong
No one gets lucky till luck comes along
Nobody’s lonely till somebody’s gone

It’s in the way that you use it
Boy don’t you know

Asshole Parking!

You motherfucking inconsiderate cunt!! And yes, CUNT … I eyeballed the guilty party, plus her poon was givin’ off a bad stench, somethin’ awful! Am I the only who who knows/follows/pays attention to/abides by, illegal parking moves? ‘Cause, I’m the king of that shit … but there’s still rules for fuck’s sake!! If you’re in and out within a minute, no problem … park wherever you want, just always be aware, and make sure you’re watching …  park ‘n run ‘n get the hell outta there! Def doesn’t apply if you’re planning on parking for a prolonged period of time! This is when you have to use common sense, and be courteous … AND, since you’re doing business with the neighbour’s next door anyways – block their driveway BITCHNOT MINE!! Have respect!! Christ, they ain’t coming and going at that point … ARGHHHH!!

Can’t come home, can’t leave home! Skanks for nuthin’ …

Meanwhile; front bumper doesn’t extend even one inch over the culprit’s driveway. Fucking cunt …

but we can get there if we try

it seems there’s something deep inside of you
and I can tell that you’ve been lonely
and you’ve had hard times too

cause we believed for nothing it seems
and now it’s shattered all apart and like a broken heart
it’s the end it’s a start

I don’t wanna talk about that anymore when there’s nothing going on and something should be done

and I wanna live if I have to die
if I have to die if I have to die

Turkey Day Fartlek!

Thanksgiving Day today, but celebrated with family yesterday … so you know what that means … LEFTOVERS, lol! Lotsa turkey, stuffing, gravy, pumpkin pie. Yum!

What a beautiful Canadian autumn day today, a great day for a run, a perfect opportunity to try my hand at fartlek training. I guess you can say I’ve done it before … changing up my running. I broke it up into four separate runs. First, I ran 2K semi-fast, then 1K really fast, then another 1K even faster, and finished with a 2K that included a hill climb, and a long gradual descent. Was fun mixing it up. Even tried a new app, sorry Strava, sticking w/ RunKeeper. PLUS, it’s my nephew’s birthday today. A beautiful Canadian day indeed!

my kicks are accumulating kilometers, easily 1200K to date …

hitting the 8K road again!

Running is hard! It’s very hard when you haven’t trained, for whatever the reason. It’s very hard to put on your gear and head out the door. I had two goals in mind after what amounts to being unable to run for the past eleven days. I wanted to complete my 8K run without stopping, and I wanted to establish a good pace from the 1st kilometer, and keep it till the end. I wasn’t looking for anything near my PR. I wanted to run, non-stop at a fairly fast pace. I did it. I’ll admit, it wasn’t easy … running at times takes so much mental strength, as well as physical conditioning. I’d rank today’s run as one of my best ever, especially with all of my adversities of late. I’m hoping with better health, and good weather, my training will continue uninterrupted.

I’m on the road to recovery!!

… FINALLY!! It’s been a long haul getting here, but today I can optimistically say I’m getting better! Everything went well, and this time I capitulated and snagged a painkiller prescription before I left. But, not before Dr. Harry asked for my driver’s license. Huh? Apparently a new (new to me at least, lol) government policy. Same thing happened at the pharmacy … but, at least this time when she began her explanation, I stopped her telling none was necessary.

A couple of quickies:

Was just getting into it w/ the assistant, telling her my running stories/accomplishments before the good doc came in, ready to go to work, abruptly ending my few moments of glory. She was all interested, and impressed, asking lots of questions. Was a great, relaxing/calming way to begin the procedure. It made me happy talking about it. Other than my blog, really don’t get an opportunity to say much about it with anyone. Oh sure, Tiff gets an earful, but it’s exiting the other one just as quickly, LOL!

Dr. Harry said something to me, something about me … and, I was only thinking about it a day or two before, something I’m only realizing in my fifty plus years. I want to say, it’s something I hope to change, but, I don’t think that’s possible, so, I’ll say … it’s something I hope to lessen … “you’re too hard on yourself” – Dr. Harry.

my meds (+ 1 on hold at the pharmacy)

gave me the gov’t literature too, lol

My Lungs Are Screaming!

Knew it was gonna be a rough run. Distance wasn’t an option. Really, only wanted to duplicate my previous one. I did. Travelled 2.35K in 10 minutes, plenty far, plenty fast for now. And again, jogging back was pleasant, very relaxed. Caught up to a couple of runners nearing home. Am I the only one still sporting summer gear?

Protein smoothie. Shower. Pop a pill. Appt. w/ Dr. Harry. Wish me luck y’all!

my “I’m still sick as a dog run” run!

My first run in over a week! Eight days exactly … last run was Sept. 28th … I never miss more than one day (ok, maybe missed two consecutive days once or twice, but that’s it), so to be outta running commission so long tells ya how I felt. I’m still on antibiotics, and I have to go back next week for my “medical procedure” (is all I’m gonna say ’bout that), and I’ve been feeling so dragged down, so faint, so tired – now, I’m not sure if it’s the infection, or all these meds making me weak? I didn’t know what to expect today, and when I started running, after only 100m my legs felt like rubber, but I persisted. Imagine my surprise, hearing my 5:00 minute audio cue, and I was further along my route than 99% of my previous first calls! And my 2K time was my 3rd fastest ever! Don’t misunderstand, I was still weak … truth be told, I was reaching into my pocket, fumbling with my phone, and inadvertently hit stop on RunKeeper – I was planning on at least reaching the 3K mark before I stopped, so I was a bit premature, lol. Good enough!

I stood there, admiring my accomplishment (I’m still in awe, when taking everything into consideration. Plus it was very humid – my glasses were fogged up, lol). I then turned around, and jogged home – comfortably, but at a steady. A nice to be back 5K run … and it was plenty … oh, and on top of everything – I had a bird in the oven … a practice Thanksgiving turkey, and I didn’t want to be out too long ‘ncase it needed tending to, lol!

quick run

“we’re going to hit it hard” – Dr. Harry

… the infection, the bacteria … I’m hopped-up on some serious hard core shit! Which now means, I have even more unpleasant side-effects to deal with. And no, it’s not the discolouration of my urine and feces that I’m talking about, it’s the strict adherence to ten straight days of not allowing any beer entering my system that I find most worrisome and disconcerting. Very unpleasant, indeed!! 😥
