Not a Running Man

Well, since my stream tonight was nothing but a scene blocked from the PS4, awesome feature *rolls eyes*, I figured I'd at least write something again.  In a few weeks I'll be "running" a 5k with some friends.  In preparation I've done some couch to 5k steps to try and get me somewhat ready for it.  It has not worked.

I hate running.  I have no ability to control my pace when I'm running by myself.  It's go hard or walk.  I'm not in a full sprint or anything, but I don't have a jog.  I honestly don't know how to jog.

This leads to me burning out before I can finish the 30 minutes.  Part of me thinks I should just run at my own intervals, but then again that requires me to want to run.  I don't.

It doesn't help that it's been hot.  Nothing worse than running when it's too hot.  It's hard enough to breath normally while running, adding heat just makes it worse.  So, I've kind of stopped.  It doesn't help that the muscles in my legs have been sore to the point that it hurts to run.

I know that's part of the "training", but oh well.  I'm sure I'll struggle with the run.  Maybe running with someone else will help me keep a better pace.  Or maybe I'll just be the slow poke.  In the end I just hate running.

    I hate running too! I am bad at keeping the same pace. Maybe you should run with a metronome!

The Early Years

When I was born my parents lived in a mobile home in Hilbert, WI.  They had a cat before I was born and it didn't take to kindly to having me around all of a sudden.  They had to get rid of it as it had a tendency of trying to sleep on my face, which a baby tries enough to kill itself when it's young but having a cat, unintentionally I'm sure, trying to help with it wasn't good.  After awhile they decided they needed a bigger house and rented one in Bay Ridge which is in Appleton, WI.  They didn't actually sell the mobile home, but rented it instead so they were able to make some money from that as well as their jobs. My earliest memory was when I was three and I was playing with some Matchbox cars on the floor in the morning and my mom in a rush to get to work accidentally stepped on one of my favorite cars, crushing it.  An odd memory to be your first, but none the less that's what it is.  My best friend while living there was a girl name Ashley.  ...

How Would You Like to Be Described

So, this is a question that basically asks how you want people to see you.  There are people that worry about what people think of you and then there are those that just don't give a fuck.  Sadly, I'm in the first group, not the second one. Nice, kind, caring.  Those are words that I would probably use, but not necessarily be proud of.  Why you may ask?  Well, those don't get me anywhere.  I also tend to think I'm funny, but that's a matter of opinion. There is also the question that has been asked in surveys and such about what would you rather be, smart or beautiful.  Most people pick beautiful.  And that actually makes a lot of sense.  Beautiful people get things easier. That's not saying that I don't like being smart (well, I think I'm somewhat smart at least).  It has a lot of benefits.  But it's been said a lot that smart people tend to be more miserable and I can't argue with that. This question also comes up when you nee...

Opening My Mouth

When I was younger and getting bullied, one of the things I was encouraged to do was talk to the guidance counselor.  Normally this is a good thing to do.  If you're in trouble you should talk to someone that can help. Now, I won't say it's the counselor's fault, but talking to her did not help at all.  In fact all it really did was cause everything to get worse.  At some point I just stopped talking.  I made some changes, got some payback, and the one time it started happening during my Freshman year, I didn't last too long before taking matters into my own hands (well fist). The one thing that I (unfortunately) learned from that was that saying how I feel is a bad thing.  I know I've most likely talked about this before, but it is really important.  It's something that has never really disproven itself over my life. I take the 2 instances I've told someone that I like them.  Yes, there are only two instances that this has happened.  Both...
