I am an inspiration

I met up with my boy Wolsky at this delicious bakery/cafe called Random Order up in Portland's Alberta District. When I last saw him, he was talking about how one of his biggest regrets was tossing his old Bulls starter jacket back in the day. The following week, I was at a thrift store when low and behold I came across the exact jacket he was describing to me, in mint condition no less. So of course I bought it and gave it to him when I met him for lunch. Like a kid on Christmas morning, he lights him all smiles and totally pumped on the nostalgic gift. He was so happy that he dropped his tuna melt sandwich on the ground. He picked it up, examined it and said " I'm so happy right now I don't care", and resumed eating it. If I can make a grown man happy enough to forget that he's eating a sandwich off the dirty ass floor, then that's all I ask for in this world.

Airwalk Desert Boot

Airwalk is bringing back the desert boot in hopes of getting into the good graces of shoe connoisseurs. I'd say this is good timing since the hot shit nowadays in fashion seems to be boots. Unfortunately, no word on if these shoes will actually go retail but rather just hyped up promo.

Contigo West Loop Mug

The wifey picked up a couple of these on Amazon. If you take your drinks on the run, this is a great mug to have. They keep your hot drinks hot and your cold drinks cold. It's double stainless steel and they have a built-in pressure relief system the prevents spray when opening. I was suprised that my tea stayed hot after 6 hours.

TGIF

If you are not going to watch next Tuesday's inauguration, there is something seriously wrong with you.

For every time you drink and drive and get away with it, remember something like this here happens. Those people were friends of friends just minding their business.

20 minute Cleanse

 I did the 20 minute run I told myself I was going to do.  With each exacerbated breath, I felt like my lungs were going to explode.  You can call this totally cheesy and lame, but have you ever had a moment where you were just totally focused and honed in on what you want out of life?  I told you it was super cheesy.  But I can't describe running anything else but cathartic.  I filtering so many thoughts in my head, "I hate this", "I think I'm going to die', "You can do this", "I don't want to go to work."  I managed to push through and keep running.  I know I get a lot of shit for making claims and not coming through.  But I have never been so focused and wanted something so bad like I do when it comes to getting into better shape right now.  

Back to Basics

One of my resolutions this year is to do a sprint triathlon with my wife.  So since swimming has been my exercise of choice lately, I'm going to switch it up and add running to the mix.  Today I am going to jog for about 20 minutes, not really care about distance.  Besides basketball, I have not done anything run related in about a year....this will be interesting.

Nettie Pot

    

 So I was over at Matty's loft tonight, and he was trying get me to try this thing called a Nettie Pot.  Basically, it's a small pot with a small, long tip at the end of it where you stick it up your nose and let warm salt water come out the other nostril.  It supposedly cleans out your sinuses from all the excess dirt and mucus that gets lodged up there.  I was hesitant at first because I imagined it being like getting water in your nose when you're swimming.  But since I easily give into per pressure, I tried it.  It was a weird sensation at first, but in the end, my sinuses were totally cleared up and I could smell and taste things a whole lot better.  I totally recommend this to anyone who is fighting a cold or just wants to clear their sinuses.  You can get the pot at any Whole Foods or health food store.  It works, plus it totally looks funny watching your friends do it.
