I retract my previous comment and now wish to pimp "Let's Pretend We're Married" as the Self b-side of choice.

I forgot how good some of the old Self B-sides are: 'Let's Pretend We're Married' is one of their best songs.

Best use ever of Björk's "It's Oh So Quiet" on last night's episode of Flash Forward.
The symmetry of the army in these pictures of China celebrating ti's 60th birthday is pretty amazing http://bit.ly/2yFBpj

The past week has been pretty busy. I am ready to get back into some kind of routine.

Total fail this morning: I thought it was still a bank holiday, but apparently the new bank does recognize it. Just now realizing this.

I swam for half a mile in the ocean today. That shit is scary.

Play by play of the trail marathon I ran at www.robozo.com; because it is all I thought about for most of the race in order to distract me.
Here is a play by play of the trail Marathon I ran today. Mainly because it is all I thought about the majority of the run in order to distract me from the pain.
- Pre-Race: Cool race shirt, it has pirate skulls!
- Start:
Hmm, it's kinda chilly out here.- Mile 1:
I'm sorta hungry.- Mile 2:
This is beautiful, nice trails, roots, logs, muddy creek beds...fun!- Mile 3:
That Gatorade was way too watered down.
Mile 4: OK, I am over having to stare at the ground so that I don't trip. Trails suck!
Mile 5: Uh oh, that lady just crashed and there is lots of blood.
Mile 6: Don't stop in the middle of the trail lady...smack.
Mile 7: Sorry I ran into that lady, but really thinking about that fact that she is 6 months pregnant apparently and was beating me for 7 miles!
Mile 8: Man, I'm really really hungry.
Mile 9: Something stinks.
Mile 10: The guy in front of me is farting. It's like Mario Cart and I am trying to dodge the stink bombs he is leaving behind.
Mile 11: Running on empty here, I need some food.
Mile 12: Food! Peanut butter sandwiches, oreos...yum, yum, yum.
Mile 13: My stomach might not be so happy with me in about 30 minutes.
Mile 14: Actually it feels fine, and this new energy is great!
Mile 15: Playing Mario Kart again, but this time I am the one dropping the bombs. Oops.
Mile 16: Another aid station but the thought of peanut butter makes me cringe. However, oreos!
Mile 17: This trail stuff really sucks. I'm tired of stumbling over roots.
Mile 20: Really? 6 more miles? Shit.
Mile 21: Just stumbled and almost fell for the 15th time.
Mile 22: Aid station. Oreos now make me want to vomit. But fudge cookies and flat coke? Yum!
Mile 23: Does the fact that my hip hurts make me old?
Mile 24: Praying begins. It is still entirely possible that I may not finish this. Pain level is severe.
Mile 25: OK, one more mile. I WILL finish.
Mile 26: The shortest mile of the race for some reason. I think they have been lying about the mileage the whole time!
Finish: Smile. Collapse. Repeat.
Post-Race: Glad to be finished, now food time.
Post-race chow down includes: 4 pieces of pizza, 3 bottles of water, 1 coke, Doritos, half a Bud Light some guy shared with me, McDonald's Happy Meal, Protein Shake, Starbucks Frapucino.
**Special Note to Futre Self**
Dear Scott. I know you CAN run a full marathon (and a trail one at that) without training whatsoever for it, but WHY would you do that? It really does suck and is quite painful if you will recall. So before you sign up for that random race, make sure you are going to actually train for it. Trust me, it will be a lot more fun.
Thanks, your friend.
Present Scott

Headed to Greensboro to go run around in the woods. Talk to you in 26.2.

Nervous about a run I am doing tomorrow morning.
Thursday - 10.01.09
Remembering how good Deftones are/were.

You can't beat North Carolina in the Fall.

Cheers to a band making original music succeeding based on hard work, sincerity, and passion not gimmicks. #Avett

This will soon be mine http://bit.ly/Zg3nU
Believe it or not I am listening to a Beatles album for the first time in my life.
Saturday - 09.26.09
Stuffed from too much food at the Taste of Union event. Congrats to Mom for it being such a huge success.
Went for a run and as I approached my house on the way back my neighbors beside me and across the streets sang the Rocky theme...jerks.

After waiting 3 years I finally broke down and bought a Wii, and then today they announce they are going to drop the price $50. Bummer.
Wednesday - 09.23.09
In a first for me, I got up at 6am this morning and went to the Y to go swim for 30 minutes before going to work. Was weird, but felt good.
Tuesday - 09.22.09
My dogs watching me leave for work through the window is too sad.
Monday - 09.21.09
I need a better chair.
Saturday - 09.19.09
Perhaps because I haven't been running much the last 6 months or so, the 13 miles this morning was gratifyingly tough but still fun.
Headed to Davidson for the Run For the Green half marathon. I remember this race from previous years as being one of the prettiest.
Thursday - 09.17.09
Finally all setup with (some) furniture, internet, phone, music, etc in the Novelope office. Feels good. Now to get some stuff on the walls.
There are some crazy looking people that walk around downtown Concord on any given day.
My head is killing me. Want to crawl in bed but instead dealing with early meetings, Internet install at office, etc. Blah.
Tuesday - 09.15.09
Took the dogs for a run to wear them out before doggie training classes tonight, but wore myself out instead.
Today's jukebox consist of new Muse, Brand New, Pearl Jam, Jay-Z, Cribs, and Teenage Bottlerocket.
Monday - 09.14.09
Anyone have good iPhone headphone recomendations? I'm looking at the Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5vi and the Shure SE310s so far.
I'm addicted to the Amazon MP3 store. I check daily to see what the Daily Deal is and buy albums I normally wouldn't because they're $2.99.

Sitting in the car playing iPod shuffle name that band with Leigh after a nice dinner.
