“Congrats on making it to the Finals”

“sorry that I’m such a dirty player“
I ran the Lonestar 5000 this past weekend, which is the 5K that’s associated with the Congress Avenue Milee and the ever so popular Mighty Texas Dog Walk. Unfortunately, they didn’t have chip timing available, so I don’t know my exact time, but according to the timer on the finish line I finished in about 37:22. I’m too lazy to do real research, but I’m pretty sure that this is my first time finishing a 5K in under 40 minutes. I think that I would’ve finished under 35 minutes, too, but the race didn’t start until 10:40 because of all of the milers and it was already getting super-hot.
My next race is the Keep Austin Weird 5K in late June. I think I’m gonna try for sub-30″.
So I have a new writing gig with some “pals” that I’ve made over at The Big Lead. I’m not gonna link to it because I don’t want my blog commenter and real-life worlds to collide, but if you google “major league jerk”, you’ll be able to find the blog quite easily. I’m the one known as “clown” aka the one who has totally hoodwinked my fellow authors into thinking that I have a passable knowledge of anything sports-related.
I just realized that this post might come up if you google major league jerk. I’m about as cunning as it gets, folks.

Sure, it’s against the Yankees, but still. Sucks the way he went, but that’s a sweet way to be remembered.

Do I have plans for it? Do I really have anything to say? Is anyone interested in what I have to say?
So, you thought I wasted my money when I bought all those shoes? You didn’t think it was a good idea, when I said Marcelina didn’t really need diapers and these Air Max 95’s weren’t gonna be available in my size next week? You made fun of me because I matched my Retro J’s to my t-shirt?
Turns out, the joke is on you.
This was the most famous celebrity to attend the last Opening Day in the House that Ruth Built?

Of all the Yankees-related pictures to ever pop up in my reader, this is probably the shittiest one. Thanks for nothing, Stephen William(?) Baldwin.
Last night, Mary Alice and I stayed up later than we usually do because B was going back to her father’s house and we needed to finish her laundry. The house had it’s usual din of noise: the washing and drying machines were running, B was taking a shower and Noggin was on at full blast so Marcelina could hear it.
An aside about the noise: (more…)
