Wished He'd Watched Out...

for a simple twist of fate.


Morning. Working the desk. Sitting. Pondering. Restless. Sleepy too.

So lately, I've been having fun running. It seems brand new to me. I have a long way to go to get where I want, but so far I'm really enjoying it. It isn't really kicking my ass like I thought it would. Classes are going okay. Not much to say there. There isn't really anything going on in them yet. But I'm keeping up with my reading and I feel important for doing so.

Had a decent workout yesterday. A 4 mile threshold from 5:50-5:55. I hit my times on all but one mile. 5:51, 5:53,5:59,5:55------> it was a good day. Although it did hurt a little and not in the way I expected it to hurt. I guess surprises are good.

Some surprises are bad.

I ordered a laptop, it's my first. I'm excited. It should be getting here in the next few days. Then my project can begin.

I just remembered that the other day Kelsey cooked this most awesome baked pasta. It was the best ever. I swear it was just like Mac Grill...but well...better. Oh the Bessima cooks like a storm rains.

Does anyone ever feel like the current day is the worst day of your life? I dunno why. I just do this morning. Like I just get the impression that today isn't going to be a good one. I know that's pessimistic, but I've just got this feeling. I don't know how I feel about that? I wonder if I'll have it tomorrow too.

TIRED.

Women are like soda caps
1 in 12 wins
But lately all I'm getting is
"Please play game again"




SIMPLE TWIST OF FATE (Bob Dylan)

They sat together in a park
As the evening sky grew dark
She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones
'Twas then he felt alone
And wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate

They walked along by the old canal
A little confused I remember well
And stopped into a strange hotel
With neon burnin bright
He felt the heat of the night
Hit him like a freight train
Moving with a simple twist of fate

A saxophone someplace far off played
As she was walking by the arcade
As the light bust through the shade
Where he was waking up
She dropped a coin into the cup
Of a blind man at the gate
And forgot about a simple twist of fate

He woke up the room was bare
He didn't see her anywhere
He told himself he didn't care
Pushed the window open wide
Felt an emptiness inside
To which he could not relate
Brought on by a simple twist of fate

He hears the ticking of the clocks
And walks along with a parrot that talks
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
Where the sailors all come in
Maybe she'll pick him out again
But how long must he wait
Once more for a simple twist of fate

People tell me it's a sin
To know and feel too much within
I still believe she was my twin
But I lost the ring
She was born in the spring
But I was born too late
Blame it on a simple twist of fate

YAY for a new year? It's time...

for an update...

Andy Andrews shakes hands with Mr. Bob Dylan

A wise man once said, "You can't be wise and in love at the same time." I believe he was a musician...

This leads me to make some decisions.

If not for the courage of the fearless crew the minnow would be lost. Seek wisdom. I have a board of directors that makes all my decisions. You know it's scary, all my best thinking got me here. The same level of thinking is not likely to get me out. I have a decided heart. The purpose of analysis is to come to a conclusion. One cannot make right decisions all the time...but I choose to be a conqueror. I am a conqueror. "BURN THE BOATS!" Take the treasure or die. If we're going home, we're going home in their boats. Criticism hurts. Choose to be happy. Whiny people get less encouragement because no one wants to be around them. People don't hang out with depressing people. Is this why I don't have any friends? But wait, I am not one of those people...am I? Anger management is a crock. Anger resolution is the answer.


Forgiveness? People don't have to ask for it to get it. People don't have to deserve it to have it. Forgive and forget? NO! Forgiveness is about the past. Trust is about the future. Just because you forgive a liar doesn't mean you have to trust them again. I will persist without exception. So what's the next idea? What would you do next? I am a person of action. Sometimes my action is the choice of not acting. Juanita says not to carry potatoes, but I think I can manage to carry a few. But don't forget that every action or non-action matters. Everything you do has consequences.





SIDENOTES?
YES, it's been a while.

1. Don't make me kick your ass in these slippers. I will pull you out of that white mustang and beat you senseless right infront of your lady friend.
2. I gave up fast food, well, not completely...just not as often...haven't had it in a week.
3. I've lost 5 pounds.
4. Track is gonna kick my ass in the morning.
5. Beauty is perfected in nature. Beauty is perfected in you.
6. "UAH 3 Airforce 2---go navy!" -Kurt
7. She's coming back tomorrow.
8. I saw Munich. It was really good.
9. Bottlerocket on comedy central...good...yes...very.
10. Serenading Bessima and Bethany.
11. That's a good cherry limeaid...screw Sonic, I'm goin to Bessima.
12. If ever there was someone that the sun set and rose for...
13. Spring training...sucked...save for the food...except for the reception...man that sucked...5 pizza rolls? you're kidding?
14. Me: So what's practice gonna be like on monday?"
Coach: 7:30@Spragins 8 miles @ 5:45-6:00 pace.
Me: You're kidding?
Coach: why? Are you not ready?
Me: I can't do that.
Coach: Didn't you do any of the tempo runs I gave you?
Me: Yes, but they hurt like the Dickens.
Me: I might be able to do 4 miles at 5:45-6:00
The idea of running 8 miles that fast right now literally makes me sick to my stomach. Coach kinda forgot that instead of not running for um...a month...like the rest of the team, I haven't run in...NINE MONTHS...this is really going to hurt.
15. Beauregards with Mom and Dad.
16. Alfred and the incredible night of taxiing me around the campus. He was my driver.
17. It's all over now baby blue.


You must leave now
Take what you need
You think will last
But whatever you wish to keep
You had better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan
With his gun
Crying like a fire
In the sun
Look out the saints
Are coming through
And it's all over now
Baby blue
