Due to lack of time, I had to split up my miles today and run 5 in the AM and another 2 just a few minutes ago. I can't believe I actually ran 7 miles today. I like to say getting into shape is happening so fast because i'm young but these here knees will disagree (i'm currently icing them.)
   20 minutes is what it takes to ice so during which i'm going to walk to through the randomness that i do on my computer.
   First off we check the blogs. My Bookmarks is full of blogs from film, sports to random hobbies. Some of my favorites are Dlisted.com, theplaylist, Deadline and my favorite place to shop steepandcheap.
   Now that all those are said and done, I'm going to let you in on a little secret hiding place of mine. Tranquility <-- All it takes is a pair of noise canceling headphones and you're back in mexico on the beach getting that 5 star massage. Your mind is running a million mph alone on a run with nothing to do but ponder, dream and aspire. Only this time you won't have to ice or stretch after. It is that thing that is more precious than any metal or rock. It's happiness from a 25 cent gum ball machine...
 

      

May your dreams be sweet and the day that follows be blessed.

                   I must stretch now :/


 

Tickle me Elmo

   I ran 8 miles today!!!! It's getting to the point where I almost actually enjoy running... I say almost because i'm sitting here icing me knees as I write this.
   I'm not always a real people person. I really enjoy my alone time every now and then and lately this seems to be the only place I can really get away from everything. That's what's so great about LA in comparison to NY. I like the Apple in small doses. What it has going is that there's ALWAYS something to do. Whether it's one of the million dive bars in the village, bowling, or even just walking around (there's NO better place to people watch than Union Sq.) But sometimes that's the problem. There's always something to do and never nothing to do. It lacks the awesomeness that is tranquillity.
   That's where LA comes in. It literally has it all. And let's not forget the weather? I mean it's absolutely fantastic about 360 days a year. And don't give me that bull crap about how much you prefer season changes because, like your common empire state squabble about how you can get nature upstate, you can also get it east of LA.
  
    My 20 minutes are up. Time to put the ice away and sleep.

  

when i grow up?

   There's just something about working long hard hours towards a personal goal that, even though you hate it at the time, makes you smile at the end of the day. It makes cold beer taste better and even helps you get over the fact that your flat mate used up all the toilet paper and stuck a nasty Smirnoff Ice in the cupboard with the refills along with the note "YOU GOT ICED" as you drop to a knee.

   My dream, unfortunately, doesn't require those long hard hours so instead I fill my time with random hobbies such as converting old road bikes into wicked fixies, learning to play guitar, training for a marathon, fixing the nasty slice that seems to be glued to my driver, writing a script, memorizing sides, and training my dog. All whilst breaking yet another iPhone < That's probably my forte. 

   Things i'd like to add to that list;

- I wish i went camping more often. The outdoors is more of my element.

- I want to learn to cook.

- I wish I attended more concerts.

- I want to slow dance with Taylor Swift at a dive bar?

Any how, I'm off to bed. 

But first...

Prayer Request;

   My little brother is on the verge of accepting Jesus into his life. I'm very VERY excited to hear this as it's something I've been praying for for a while now. His name's Brandon and he's 16 years old. It would mean a lot to me. 

Thanks friends,

Kerry

   

   

the wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round

   I previously mentioned on my Twitter that I have accepted the challenge of running 30 miles in 30 days which doesn't seem like much to the avid runner, but an avid runner I am not.
   It's day 7 and I'm at 12 miles. I skipped a day due to a hangover but I'm back on track and will now be jumping up from two mile runs to 4 miles to completely shatter that 30 mile goal.
   I already ran with Jackson this am on the 2 mile route so i'm leaving him at home this time 'round. His paws don't seem to be holding up on the cement as well as he wishes.
   4 miles (which makes 6 for the day) here I come and without music mind you. Ipod's dead :/

can't sleep

"And we'll all laugh at gilded butterflies"
   Those of you that were able to stay awake in lit. know it's Shakespeare.
   Some of you know this as Megan Fox's shoulder tattoo.
 

 I can't seem to get around the irony of Megan Fox laughing at fake appearances.
   I suppose maybe she got that before all the surgeries?

There's nothing like Oregon Tap water... mmmmm :)

   Every morning i wake up to a fresh cup of RED coffee from Starbucks and turn on my iPhone to check emails and listen to voicemails from belligerent drunk compadres only to begin wondering what the heck people did before technology...

   Yesterday I ventured down to the beach to meet up with some friends but forgot my cell in the truck. Realizing i had already walked too far to go back (i'm lazy like that) i began trying to look for them around the certain lifeguard tower they said they'd be at. Them being nowhere in sight I spent the next 20 minutes soaking my feet in the Ocean in the event they went to grab food real quick. They never came back so i walked back to my truck to a text telling me that they decided to set camp two lifeguard towers north... 

   I'm actually boggled by the thought of people not having cell phones. Much respect for you old folk out there.

   Perhaps this thought is one to lead me on a mission trip to a place less fortunate. I'm afraid I'm beginning take all these suhweet luxuries for granted.

Prayer request;

   My friend Geoff is in the hospital with acute pancreatitis. Being newly married, let's pray for both that he would be healed and that his wife would be comforted. Send him love on Twitter @GeoffTalbot

   

   

Marathona

   First off let me say that going to live shows is hit or miss, more likely to miss, when it comes to unknown bands. Of the three that performed last night... The opening act was decent, Baily's band. The next group was terrible. I don't even remember their name but then comes our friend Elija with his band Marathona. Just fantastic. I recorded their song Scars with my Flip (this thing is amazing btw. The mic picked up most of the sound pretty clean, aaand its its in HD!! Oh did i mention it fits in the little pocket of my Fruit of the Loom pocket tee:)

here's the link to not only the video but also my new Youtube account:

Marathona- Scars

we invest so much time knowing we can't earn it back.

   welcome to my blog. For those of you that jumped on the YouTube following are probably thinking this is just another hobby that i'll get bored with and erase. My money's with you on that one. But, enjoy the time in between. Perhaps i'll last longer than three posts this time.

Topic of the day: Stephanie Germanotta 

    I came across this name on Youtube and i have, officially, been convinced that she is actually talented behind all the bullshit they call Lady Gaga. She reminds me a lot of Norah Jones. I should like to hear her play again as a real person, aka Stephanie Germanotta. 

    Meanwhile, watch out for a band called Marathona. They're insane. im going to their show this evening actually. They're EP drops in Feb. I might be that guy who makes the first fan page. im not sure yet. I suppose tonight will be the deciding factor. I wonder if he'll sign my boobs?

Enjoy your evenings

Kerry
