Big Man Run
Last saturday me and couple friends participated in the Big Man Run XIII "The Omen" in Somerville, MA. It is a 4.8 mile run with 3 manditory aid stations at which you must eat a hot dog and drink a beer. This is why they call it "Big Man." They even have weight classes that you compete in, as opposed to age groups like a normal race. The lowest weight class is 190-210 lbs. Anything below this is considered "Skinny" and you can compete, but you're not allowed to win any prizes. Unfortunately, I fell into the Skinny category. During the weigh-in (yes, there is a weigh in at the beginning of the race), I was actually boo-ed for being under weight. I've never been so ashamed of myself. However, in the race itself I ended up doing pretty well. I came in 11th overall and 3rd in my weight group with a time of 43:04. It was a great time. If you can do it without puking, I recommend giving it a shot next year.

Good Comic
So I've been reading the comic over at xkcd.com for quite a while now. Its in general a very funny comic, but every once in a while I wake up and and look at the strip and think, "This man can see inside my head..." and I cry. Today was one of those days. Not only does it reference an obscure book I doubt many people have read, but it also references my fair city. Creepy. Enjoy.
Let’s try this again.
Its been a year since I've started paying for web hosting space. It actually took that long for the spam bots to find my website and start posting things about Viagra and other prescription medications. As I was deleting them all, I noticed that I needed to update the wordpress software. So I did. In the process I also deleted the old database, as I had only posted twice in a year. Mostly I did it to perhaps force myself to start writing again.
We'll see.
