Two days rest for me. It's been close to a month since I took two days off. Finally caught up on some sleep too now that the Australian Open is over. I'm kinda sad it's over though. It was a lot of excitement for my evening. I started thinking, I really should go see a Grand Slam tournament. But which one? When? Australian Open would be great, but man that flight would kill me. I could do London I think. Surrounded by British accents..hhehehe that would be interesting.
Liz is really sick. I've managed to stay virus free so far. I'll keep knocking on wood. My friend in TN got really sick too, with bacterial pnemonia. He took a drug called Cipro I think and his achilles swelled up to the point where he couldn't walk. I'd steer clear of that drug if I were you.
Finally watched X Men first class. I don't think I can take Kevin Bacon serious anymore after his commercial with Google TV. He was still pretty cool though. Overall, it was okay for me. I just want the whole movie to be about Magneto. I love me some Fassbender Magneto. What would you do if you could control metal? I mean seriously...like medically what could one do. Inject liquid metal into someone and then shape a joint without surgery or somethig like that? But come on, that's tedious and just waiting for some ingreat to sue you. It would be way more productive to just crush stuff. You could also go to those mindfields that have so many mines that no one goes into those areas anymore. Course the biodiversity that exits there now might not be fond of that. Ooooh treasure hunting in the ocean. You could raise the titanic!!!
Ok I'm rambling. I gotta go paint my pantry.

Chilli Cheese Tots Yum
Got brave and passed on the usual serrano peppers and picked up a couple of habaneros! Made an omelette today with just a third of the pepper. Not even any seeds. Cooked it up well to chill it down just a tad I hoped. And yah I used gloves to cut it up. That's such a painful lesson to learn. So my food had this great smooth heat to it. I was really surprised and pleased.
Have any of you seen these videos of strange noises coming from the sky? They are all over youtube and sound like weird metal banging or really creepy groaning like big a metal hinge slowed down really slow. I stumbled across them the other night waiting for tennis to start and got really creeped out. After some googling though, I think they are fake and part of maybe a viral sort of 2012 paranoia.
Speaking of tennis I couldn't be more pleased with how this Australian Open has gone. I was disappointed to see Maria Sharapova not only lose the final, but play well below her ability. I was very impressed with how she handled the loss in her runner up speech and in her press conference. She has so many devoted fans too. Can you imagine total strangers wishing you these deep sincere pleasant thoughts for your job? Fascinating. I really want her to win a Slam this year. WIth that said, I was very happy to see Azarenka win. Hopefully she won't lose first round in the French.
Perhaps my favorite match of the tournament was Murray vs Djokovic. A grinding 5 set blast fest with several 30 to 40 stroke rallies. It was just awesome to see Murray unleash himself and not beat himself. Plus seeing Ivan Lendl in his box is just too cool. He says to Andy, you will win, but first..you will feel pain, lots of pain! That is awesome! Anyway enough tennis talk.
So earlier this week I may have did too much weight on my dumbell presses. I mean my shoulder got tweeked at the beginning of the year bowling (guuuh) and suddenly I thought oh man, maybe I just tweaked both shoulders. Trying to imagine 2 impinged shoulders. ooof! Anyway, I took 3 days of from that and felt better yesterday, so I decided to do some really light weights and then a few pushups. An hour of so later I felt ok, but some part of me was worried I might wake up hurting. I also ran yesterday and felt kinda sluggy with a little soreness. Ughhh I'm such an endurance wimp!
I stayed up really late watching tennis and fell asleep on the couch. So when I got up on few hours of sleep, I thought..ughhh prolly not gunna run today. But as the morning progressed and I woke up, I found I was itching to run. So off I went since it was an awesome day to boot. Man! My run was insane! Was it the Greek Pisitichio I ate the night before? Sleeping on the couch? Who knows. I just felt like I could've ran all day. It was crazy delicious.
I ran down to Shalimar point and perused all the waterfront/golf course houses. Even if I had the money, I wonder if I'd really want to live in such houses. I ran by the clay courts we used to sneak onto when we were younger. It boggles my mind that we used to sneak on there and play for hours. I found some decent little hills on this run too. I kinda miss hills a little. At the end of my run I decided to push my pace. I pretended I was Ryan Hall with my hands flattened out and really pumping, my mouth making a small square as I tried to suck in as much air as I could. haha if you saw me, you'd prolly think, that guy looks weird and is kinda slow, but in my brain? I was Ryan Hall bitch! It was another good surprise. Where did all that energy come from? I'm going to say it was the greek food. Yahh thats it!

Da Beach
Oh Azarenka is pounding Aussie Kim right now. Im so excited!
I went to the beach today. It was crazy nice outside. What month is it?
Went to Lowes to buy a circular saw blade to cut metal. They don't carry them! They can special order them for 90 bucks. wow I'll go back to the hack saw idea.
Bought a simple bench to do barbell presses on. Oooff my muscles are sore, but in a good way.
Oooooh Azarenka just got broken. The crowd is sooo against her. They want their Aussie Kim to win. guuuhhhhheee!

Decapitated
Started my morning off with a little John J. Dunbar. Do you remember the scene at the end when he comes back from being captured and Stands With Fists basically virgin mauls him? hahahaha They must've laughed like crazy after that scene. I wiki'd DWW and read an interesting tidbit. Basically the language they were taught was done by a woman who taught them the 'female' dialect of Lakota, so when some Native Americans watched the film , they thought it was pretty funny to hear the men speaking like women. I also wiki'd Alien and read something I'd never scene, in that Ridley Scott wanted the Alien to bite Ripley's head off at the end and then talk in her voice in the flight recorder. Wow! Glad someone at Fox gave the slant eye and finger wag to that idea.
Ran today and just felt like crap. I'll bet it has nothing to do with the fact that I ate a ton of cheese last night and today. Running with a ball of cheese inside your belly...think about that.. yah not good. That's like trying to run your lawnmower on wood glue.
Cats! Some of you love them, so you'll appreciate the conversation I had this morning on the way to school. Asa....there's a dead rat by the truck and it's head as been taken off. Don't get to close to it please. She yells ahhhhh! Did a cat do that!?!! Prolly so, come on lets go. Aren't we glad I'm not in the habit of uploading pics lately. :)

Gaucamellow
Sometimes people have some nice things to say on my youtube channel.
Other reviewers take note on this guy.Opening minute of his vid was done RIGHT. 1) He's SHOWING you well known knives of similar size BUT...2) his voice is delivering interesting information NOT directly related to the pictures on screen. He's respecting his viewers by cramming twice the info in the same time frame. I was a pro news & documentary producer for a long time. On purpose or not, this guy has demonstrated some skills .
I kinda surprised myself with my second fastest run on regular route today, in bikilas even. It seemed hard to breathe for the first mile or so..kinda weird. I kept thinking, I should not have eaten a spoonful of gaucamole. But it was a good thing because we had a huge dinner tonight in the newly done up dining area. We had more fish tacos!, super bean dip, and a mexican chicken and bean soup. For desert , we had a pretzel marshmellow, strawberry jello desert, key lime pie, and flan. My good bud Rick was in attendance and proclaimed that the key lime was perhaps the best he's ever had. This is a big compliment from a guy who can be pretty picky on food items. Liz done guuud.
Needless to say I am so wonderfully full of food which is making me so tired. I don't think I'm going to be able to watch any Australian open tonight.

BBQ DUCHEBAG
Ran today with no issues. Rarrrgh! Put my lower half in the pool three times for about 30 secs a time. AHHHHHHHHH!!! Felt like my ankles were going to burst. Which was odd, but right after my legs just felt fantastic.
There's a local BBQ joint named Kinfolks. It's been here forever and I've never eaten there. Until tonight! It wasn't as good as the BBQ joint by my home in Veegus, but it was pretty tasty. I liked the spicy bbq sauce actually.
I also had lunch with my Adjustment Bureau mate at a Greek restaurant. Mmmmm Dolmades goood.
Yesterday I got another massive headache after driving to Pensacola. WTH! Something about that drive gives me a headache.
Every now and then I'll get a fairly nasty comment on my youtube channel. This one was especially tasty.
"Gay lisp, frolicking and flameing over 200 yr old kitch/long hunters knife on youtube=HUGE DUCHEBAG. Just like the 9000 mossberg 500 and remmington 870 reviews...Oh I just bought myself my first Kabar I gotta go do a review cause Im so proud Im a big boy now LOL. Please help save the Internet from getting clogged up with bullshit. Stop being Nerds and GTFO."
Criticizing spelling is fairly weak imo when it comes to internet smackdown , but the really bad spelling of douche just cracks me up!
And I watched Super 8 last night. I'm sure I'm the last of my friends to watch this flick. And I have to agree it was very cool! I liked all those crazy little kids. I loved how even with all the 'adult' crazy stuff going on around them, they stayed in their world of what was important; get the girl, make a movie, blow shit up! Another winner from JJ Abrams.

Cyber killing tacos
Mmmmmm I'm really into fish tacos lately. Liz made some killer ones tonight. Tasty and healthy!
Had my third electrician come out today. Third time is a charm though. He was fast, professional, and cost way less than I expected. Win win win! I am actually kinda bummed my second electrician decided to not ever call me back. I thought Gary was better than that.
So today was my third day of running in a row. I was a little sore afterward and thought ,well it's been a while since I've run over 5 miles two days in a row. I know, shocking, but that's what running logs are good for. Turns out, its been since May of last year that I've done over 15 miles in three days. Interestingly I took one day off, then ran some sprint intervals. Then my quad went angry 2 days later. So maybe I'll take it easy the rest of the week. I feel good right now, so that's a good sign.
Oh and guess how many buzzards I counted on the comms tower today? About forty eight!!!!!! It's like a perfect scenario for a scify channel thriller where buzzards are turned into cyber killing machines from the cell tower signals.
