Music Monday: The Fantasy

This week's Music Monday is "The Fantasy" by 30 Seconds to Mars.

Why?

I have no idea.

On my way to work Sunday night this song came on while I was driving through heavy rain and wind. I just got into it while I was driving and repeated it a couple times and it stuck in my head after I got to work. I guess the intensity of it got me focused off of worrying about all of the idiots that were driving and walking (yes walking!) around in the bad weather that was going on. So if you have never heard it.....here ya go!

BTW: Isn't Jared Leto a pretty man?!? If you want a great story about the time Jared and I made eye contact feel free to ask me.

Enjoy!

  2. Me, my wife, a friend, and his wife were walking out of the mall (Wolfchase). This dude walks by looking at me like I knew who he was. I thought it was kinda weird so I just kept looking at him. After he walked by my friend's wife said "that was Jared Leto". At the time I didn't know the name but she told me a movie he played in. Then I remembered and said "oh yeah, he was checking me out". For the record, My friend's wife did admit that he was checking me out. So therefore Jared Leto has a crush on me. Then I found out he had a band and I loved their music and now....the feeling is mutual. He is an actor, a rocker and just flat out dreamy!

My first blog post!

Well, here it is. The moment that only a couple people have been waiting for. My first blog post. A few months back I noticed a friend of mine on facebook had a post that was a link to a blog. The title seemed interesting so I figured I would check it out. I was blown away by how honest and brave it was of her to write about something that was a very personal subject. I really didn't know that much about her but I knew what she was refering to and I thought it was amazing that she could be so bold. After I read some of her blogs I started reading others. I found some from runners and other athletes and musicians. I became inspired by alot of the things I was reading. Something that I never shared with anyone, until I told my wife Staci, was that I always wanted to be able to write out my feelings. When I told her I am not sure she thought I was serious. I rarely even say what is on my mind, how could I ever put it into words on a computer. Well, here goes nothing. I originally plan...

Music Monday: 100 Million Miles

This week's Music Monday is 100 Million Miles by Monster Magnet. This is one of my favorite running songs. It's really been my mantra for the last few races I have run. I just finished up the MRTC Road Race Series. This year has been a lot harder because I have been dealing with more pain and injuries. This song reminds me that I just have to keep pushing and that when I am done running I can rest and recuperate. I also love the steady beat of the drums. On a easier run I sync each step with each beat. On my harder days I sync my right foot to each beat. That means a lot of turnover! The song is not about running but the chorus and drum beat make it a perfect running song. "Hey, there ain't no pain! 100 million miles away!" Enjoy!

My new tattoos

I just recently got my tattoo finished and added a few. I already had the letter N with my wife and kid's names in it. I just added the latest (and last!) addition to our family and added a crest. The N was pretty plain for a reason. I really wanted to get a tattoo with the names in an N but I really wasn't sure how I wanted it to look. I went to a shop and the guy that helped me didn't really help me much at all. But I knew I at least wanted the names and the N because the names line up perfectly. The two Ss line up and the two Es line up. I decided that I could get that and finish it later somewhere else. Probably a good idea. I kinda toyed with ideas for what I wanted to do and got close to getting it done. And then the surprise. We had Olivia. So now I have to find a way to get her name on it. The idea for her name came from a hat my Grandfather had given me a few years ago from our family reunion. The second N in my last name has a tilde above it. The hat had one o...
