Qualifying for Boston is one of those things that I keep on my "supermodel" list. I.e., I know I'm never going to date a supermodel. I'll come close, but it'll never happen. And I'm ok with that, as I've made my peace with it. Same thing for running Boston legally. 3:15 for my age group? That's just freaking funny. So I'm ok with it. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

The only thing I can think of is that your list isn't going back far enough to include Ingrid Bergman. I only say this because she puts ANYONE on your list to complete and utter SHAME. SHAME, I say!! _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Took a lovely hit to the head this morning. My fault for not paying attention and letting my right hand drop. Saw stars. That was cool. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

PAIN IS SIMPLY WEAKNESS LEAVING YOUR BODY. NOW GET OUT THERE AND FUCKING RUN! Kick ass. Heartbreak hill has NOTHING on you. GO PAULIE! _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

I'm not, but I can totally see how. I kinda wanna spar with someone once I get better... _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Anyone else do it? Since I can't run, I'm doing it like, 5x a week. Good LORD, I forgot how much fun it is. It's amazing to come home and just not be angry at ANYTHING! _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

It happens in real life, too. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Andy nailed it. Let us never forget. This is about money. He could call them nappy haired hos all he wanted, as long as no one got pissed. The second advertisers bailed, the decision was made. Pisses me off, though. I went up against Sharpton on O'Reilly last night, saying that he wasn't gonna get fired, and that advertisers were being idiots for pulling out. I still stand by the advertiser statement. Had they never left, CBS wouldn't hve let him go, and Sharpton and company would have been drowned out by the next Britney crotch shot, and the world would have moved on. We're an ADD nation. Never forget that. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Apparently CBS had enough. They let him go. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/04/12/national/main2675273.shtml _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

OK. So... Skymama told me to post whenever I was going to be on The O'Reilly Factor so y'all could tape it then make fun of me. Looks like I'll be on tonight, discussing Imus, and how stupid advertisers are for pulling out. (Remember Kate Moss? Advertisers dumped her after she did blow, now she's more popular than ever, and they're kicking themselves.) That's number one. Number two: I'm injured. Diagnosed with moderate Achilles Tendonitis in my left foot. No running for three months, minimum. Let's not even DISCUSS how much I hate everybody right now. But whatever. That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Makes me pissed off as all hell and frustrated to no end, but I suppose, also stronger. I'll box and bike and do cardio and lift more. And I'll cut my diet to like, 300 calories a day. :) Anyhow... hi. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Agreed. If Milla Jovovich was coming at me and she was a vampire, and sex was DEFINITELY not going to happen, I could see doing it to save my own life. Other than that, simply never. It's just not how I was raised. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Well done. :) _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Surprisingly, it took in virtually NOTHING at the box office...

They're all dead already. Get over it. Carrry on Gota wonder if we're gonna say the same thing about you. I still have friends down there who were never found. In my opinion, it's courtesy to pay your respects if you come in from out of town to visit. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Sadly, no. I need to find out who's writing what on a daily basis. It's relatively annoying. :) _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

I travel CONSTANTLY. I bring them on the plane, read them, rip out worthwhile articles, then leave them on the plane for the next person.

Not cool, dude. Save the speech for after her uncle is better. Kenz, you're in my thoughts, sweetie. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

So I bought a new bike. Weather's been too crappy to ride it. Today, though, was gorgeous out. So I decided to have a go. Up the West Side Highway to the GW Bridge, and back. 12-13 miles or so. Not bad. Just to test it out. Works beautifully. Really nice action on the pedals, I'm learning how to get in and out of the pedal locks on the shoes, etc... It's good. Until I get a flat. On 135th Street and the Hudson River. I live about 4 miles from that. I'm wearing bike shoes. There are SO many better places to get a flat. Now naturally, being a responsible rider, I have a spare tube and tools in the little pouch on the bike, as well as a pump. Sweet. Except, I don't have a clue how to replace a tire on a bike. I was planning on going to the bike shop this Sunday to learn, and buy C02 cartridges, etc. I take out the spare tube. I take out the tools. I take out the pump. I take look at the tire. I spend ten minutes looking from the tire to the tube to the tools. This gets me nowhere. I gingerly turn a knob on the bike. Nothing happens. Like I'd expected the entire bike to magically fix itself from turning that knob. Which, not surprisingly, it didn't. It's getting dark. I'm getting frustrated. I can start and sell more than one company, I can write a book, and save my life while plummeting to earth at 120 miles an hour, but I can't change a fucking bike tire. I look to the sky, and remember my Grandpa Dave. He died when I was about eight months old, but I've heard some amazing stories. He was an engineer. He was one of the guys responsible for laying the groundwork for ARPANET, the precursor to the Internet. He designed the lighting for JFK Airport. Or maybe LaGuardia. A big airport in the area, so it was one of those two. Anyway, Grandpa Dave was really, really smart. HE COULD HAVE FIGURED OUT HOW TO CHANGE A FREAKING BIKE TIRE ON THE SIDE OF THE WEST SIDE HIGHWAY. Sadly, I was not Grandpa Dave. I tried channeling him. It didn't work. I looked at the tools again, and tried channeling him. Again, it didn't work. After about five more minutes of unsuccessfully attempting to channel Grandpa Dave, I gave up and started walking my bike the long four miles home. About a minute into this, a flashing light signals another biker coming towards me, on his way home. With two full-of-air tires, I noted, frustratedly. He stopped, though, and asked - "You need a hand?" "You wouldn't know how to change a tire on a bike and feel like teaching me, would you?" I asked. "Sure, I'd be happy to," he said. "It's good karma." "Oh, dude, you have no idea how much I appreciate this. Thank you SO much. Here are all the tools, and the tube, and thank you thank you thank you. I'm Peter," I said. "Hey, Peter," he said, extending a hand. My name's David." Then, about 20 seconds later, he repeated the above sentence again, because I'd apparently been staring at him like an idiot while I tried to process that. Within five minutes, I'd learned how to fix a flat, my bike was up and running, and David shook my hand and was on his way. I rode home with a happy grin on my face. Thank you, David. And thank you, Grandpa Dave, for watching out for your sometimes-a-dumbass grandson. _______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."
