Happy 23rd Birthday Alexander Ovechkin.

I woke up out of a sound sleep and turned to the alarm clock on my left. It read 5:01. I thought to myself, "I have another 15 minutes till my alarm goes off."

I woke up out of a sound sleep and turned to the alarm clock on my left. It read 7:06. I thought to myself, "Fuck, guess my alarm didn't go off."


I hopped out of bed, turned Spanky's heat lamp on, tossed on a blue New Balance micro-mesh shirt, Standard blue Adidas shorts, and white ankle socks. I also tossed on my old white, "COCKS" hat. I grabbed my pal's Ipod shuffle which I had borrowed to run home with Monday. I wondered how long the charge would last and contemplated using my Ipod, but decided to go with my initial decision. About 5 minutes into my jog the power ran out, right in the middle of, "Come on ride the train, and ride it, come on..."


I took off the headphones and continued about Bradley Blvd. just listening to the sounds of cars passing by. It was nice and chilly this morning, perfect temp for a jog. This was the first morning since last spring that I've come outside to find my car coated in dew.

I shaved, showered, and hopped in my car. Before getting into work I grabbed a quick cup o' joe from my mom's in Kensington. Once at the office, I told my co-worker Eric to check out my blog. I let him know he could read about what I was about to do later in the day. Then I hit the floor and struggled to complete 50 push ups.


This day in 1787 the United States Constitution was signed in Philadelphia and in 1814 Francis Scott Key finished his poem, "The Star-Spangled Banner." 

I saw two dogs today.
