A week off right now. That's what I'm in right now. Nothing doing. Hardly any work to be done. Watching some TV. Recapping some TV shows. Hanging out with some Charlotte friends. I keep having that feeling that in a way that I'm still part of it, but really I'm not. I don't know really how to feel. I guess there are certain things I want to say, but there are certain I feel sum up some thoughts I've been feeling lately.
The top of my foot has been bothering me. I'm pretty sure I have tendinitis. Maybe a swollen foot. It's pretty painful. I should have been smarter and taken more time off after the race, but I didn't. I'm pretty sure it's related to my tight calves. So I've been stretching my calves more often. I've been laying off running. I do miss running, but don't miss a lot of the other crap from running. NCAA's were the weekend. I apply my own thoughts about it in regard to all college sports. These athletes are not as good as the pros, it's enjoyable to watch, but they are inferior athletes and should be treated as such. I don't idolize other runners. I frankly don't care. It was pretty bad that my mom knew more about the New York marathon and that the guy who won ran a fast time and I didn't. I don't really care that much about running since it's not a really enjoyable spectator sport. One thing I think is that there is no constant dominant athlete in the sport. Another reason it's not that popular is that star athletes can quit in a race and drop out. But that's me. I like running and doing races. But talking about running or getting all nerdy into race stats is really lame.
I like Tim Tebow. I don't mind that he can't throw a ball forward. He somehow wins games. I don't mind that he is a Christian. He's the one guy who backs up what he preaches and actually does true missionary work. He goes out and does what he says, so I give him props. I don't mind the religious in your face attitude. If you replace whenever he says Jesus with McRib is makes it better. The other issue I didn't even know is that the lead singer of The Gaslight Anthem is a Christian and that turns some people off. Which is just dumb. But if people who complain about people being close minded can't get over the fact of one person's beliefs then really what is the point of being a punk. That's why I don't care that much about punk music anymore.
I get the Occupy (insert city) phenom. Maybe people should protest that the bail outs banks got from the government were in fact not capitalism, but really socialism. It's fascinating to see a business that loses money get rewarded by getting money. I can't really say what bankers do to deserve to get all that money, but it's too much. I think the lack of ethics that you see from Wall Street or bankers can probably be traced back to school, when you see so many people cheat over and over again on homework or test. Is that the culture we live in now? I find it a bit strange that people call themselves the 53%, but they work 60-70 hours a week, get no time off, and pay their own college loans. Um that's not really living. In fact that's a terrible life. I can't say that's something I would want for myself or anybody. But you have all these people whose political views are shaping their realistic view. If you make less than 250,000$ you are part of the 99%. Deal with it.
I have 1 follower. Oh joy! I think my old blog got up to 11, so I'm doing ok.
