There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person. - G.K. Chesterton
I was sitting at the coffeeshop downtown studying when I notice a group of 20-something guys coming up the street. As fate would have it, they all sat down next to me, and here’s what I learned about them:
1) They were a band
2) They were not local
3) They were successful enough to play gigs [...]
No running for almost a week. The weather has really been an obsticle in my training, although I think I’m still on track for the half-marathon in 4 weeks. Or is it 5?
I’m too lazy to look at the calendar that I can access at the bottom toolbar of my screen.
At [...]
The sun has been engulfed by dreary, cool gray clouds today. Yesterday I ran 6 miles in what the clearly, always-correct meteorologists tell me is the last day of sun for a week.
Sunday I broke into the double digits with my run, finishing up 10.14 miles in an hour and 46 minutes. [...]
So, I’ve been wanting to have a blog dedicated just to art for a while, and I finally made one. I’ll still post my random inane tomfoolery here for the 5 of you that still come here. A lot of my sketches will end up over there.

The rain stopped.
Finally.
I ran for the first time in a week (I haven’t gone since my 9 miles last wednesday.) The sun had come up, and even though it was a little breezy, it was still warmer than it’s been all weekend.
I only went 2 miles. Not sure if I’ll try for 10 [...]
Rows and rows of books.
Pick one up. Go ahead. Read a few sentences. Enjoying it?
Put it back and pick up another one. Look! More words.
What was that first one about? Who wrote it?
I’m sorry I couldn’t hear your answer over the cluster of teenagers that walked [...]
Hi.
Nice to see you.
What’s that? My fly’s open?
No, it’s not. You see, these are the jeans that Sarah found discounted due to a defect.
I see you spotted the defect. The flap that covers the zipper doesn’t do its job. Instead, it’s permanently folded back.
Why do I wear [...]
Ever have those days where you feel you were getting a ton of things accomplished with almost no effort? Such was today.
After trying to shower only to find the hot water had mysteriously disappeared, I threw on a hat and met Jimmy for breakfast. Then, as if carried along by some current of [...]
I like getting out of the house to work these days. I get a little more done with a change of scenery.
After being up here a year, I’m still trying to figure out what works best in terms of where to keep things. I like having my markers to my right, but [...]
I ran 6 miles yesterday in the glorious warm sun. Everyone always seems so surprised at the odd juxtaposition the weather here in NC brings. Every year we can’t believe it was one day 30 degrees and the next 70. How many years do you have to live here before you start [...]
This past weekend I was in Orlando. It was sunny. It was warm. I was so happy.
Then of course, they called for snow the night we were driving back home. Of course they would call it, and it would actually happen, the time I have to drive 10 hours home in [...]
