4 miles

Jon | March 4, 2010

Did a short 4 mile run at the park tonight.  40’s all day, but it was below freezing by 5:30, with blowing snow and a little freezing rain.  I ran the wiper fluid because I’m lazy and didn’t want to go out and scape it off in the cold.
And by the way?  My head is [...]

where’s the white?

Jon | December 20, 2009

I took a quick to trip to the store tonight, thinking I could buy some white “chocolate” to make some raspberry truffles with (poor grammar, I know).  As it turns out, the stores here don’t sell white “chocolate”.  They sell white “morsels”.
Do you know what white “morsels” are?  Palm kernel oil.   They are morsels of [...]

Google now sucks

Jon | December 5, 2009

Dear Google,
I know you thought it was cute to add in the “fade” feature for the menu on your home page. But really? It slows everything down.
When I type in an address, it waits until I move the mouse over the main page before my browser goes to the link.
When I [...]

fat man running

Jon | November 29, 2009

I got out for 5 miles yesterday and it was truly a struggle.  I couldn’t believe how hard it was to run.  I was huffing and puffing from the first tenth of a mile.  My legs felt like lead and my belly jiggled the whole way.  Isn’t that gross?  I could actually feel the whole [...]

the list

Jon | October 28, 2009

Too many things to talk about so I’m just making a list:
1. Dear state cop who got stuck behind me today.  I’m sorry you had to drive the speed limit.  I could tell you didn’t like it because you road my ass for 13 miles.  I’m proud of you for not trying to pass, since [...]

dream

Jon | October 18, 2009

I dreamed that the running partner had an injury where a section of her lower leg was missing and everyone wanted me to donate mine so she could run again.  WTH?
And the part that wasn’t a dream?  I hurt my foot again.
Its my own fault.  On Wednesday I was watching a movie and was rubbing [...]

The irony of Farcebook

Jon | July 23, 2009

I didn’t want go on Farcebook.  I joined because someone wanted me to help other people from my past join.  So I did.  I figured I could keep in touch with them, even if I didn’t really want to participate much.  Did I mention I was booted off there once?  I was.
Well, after being on [...]

What can I say?

Jon | June 29, 2009

We seem to have the most dysfunctional state legislature in the nation.
Thanks so much for wasting 3 weeks of our tax dollars (so far!), you gaggle of useless, greedy, bureaucratic, mindless, petty, childish, stupid, lazy, ugly, smelly, rotten, good-for-nothing-but-flattening-the fat-growing-on-your-wart-covered-butts morons.

Purge

Jon | June 25, 2009

Dear Karen,
Its been a long time.  How are you?  I was thinking about you today and there is something I really need to tell you after all these years.
You were a flaming jerk.
No seriously.  I know we were supposed to be very good friends, and we spent a lot of time together through much of [...]

Wordpress HATES my blog!

Jon | April 8, 2009

I’ve had trouble commenting on people’s blogs.  I make a comment, it doesn’t show up in the comment list.  I try to post again and it says “Duplicate comment.  You just said that!”.  The comments never show up, not in the bloggers spam pile either.
So tonight when I was commenting, I first tried the usual [...]
