This has become surreal. It’s been 9 long days since my last run and I’m still having deep chest coughing, so I don’t see me getting out for at least a couple more days. I wonder if I should have gone to a doctor, but I guess it’s a little late now. At least today I’ve got some voice back which is damn good, because I’ve got a 2-hour voiceover session tomorrow, a low-key one, thankfully, not one of those evil medical ones.
Meanwhile, I’m feeling sorry for myself and at odds with everything around me. I don’t feel like doing anything, yet I’m bored senseless. This would be the perfect time to design some new shirts (it’s been months and months!), but I don’t feel creative in the least.
Nick is in Las Vegas on a business trip, so I’m up to my own devices, which means watching reality show crap like back-to-back episodes of “Girls Next Door”, the show about Hugh Hefner and his three blonde girlfriends. My favorite part is when he gives them something (he’s always giving them something) and he goes in for a kiss, you’ve never seen three girls try to avoid touching a pair of liver lips like his. Can’t say I blame them.
Next on the schedule is Millionaire Matchmaker, where the star of the show, a “third-generation matchmaker” tries to hook up socially inept millionaires with gold-digging balloon-titted actresses. It’s one of those feel-good shows because as poor as you are, you could never be as big a dick as anyone on it.
Beyond the garbage I’m visually ingesting, I had a freakout last night when I realized my first 5K of the season is in 3 weeks! It’s going to take me a few runs just to get back where I was, not to mention the lost training time, so I’m pretty unhappy about the thought, because I had 4 sessions of speedwork planned and now I’ll be lucky to get in two. Oh well, shit happens and this is mine. At least it isn’t an injury, per se, so when this sick stuff finally goes, it’s gone.
And with that, it’s back to my place on the couch. I just looked at the TV schedule and see my choices are rapidly dwindling. Let’s see, what’s on at 10am? Tyra, Maury, Rachel Ray…oh god, someone come shoot me, please.

YUMMO! I was watching Rachel Ray, ignore that. I hope you bounce back fast after not running that long. It would suck. After a great week of running and no work, I lost my mojo for running and working to much. Im blaming it on the cold and trying to run when I can. Now if I was on one of those reality shows I want it with a big-titted millionaire who can cook. Have fun watching your garbage.
HAHAHA!! Bruce, you are one funny guy…”big-titted millionaire who can cook” lol! Sorry to hear you’re having mojo problems, this cold weather isn’t helping any of us – Spring where are you?? Hope you get back in the swing this next week and if all goes well, I’ll be running alongside you in my parallel universe that is Philly.
