Running Obviously Isn't For Everybody...

I run a lot but do I like it? "NO. GOD NO."

Where To Get It

Every day in Raleigh I feel like I see at least four billion people running on the sidewalks! There are people of all shapes and sizes all doing the same thing - engaging in an activity created by Satan himself.

I've played soccer since I was 5-years-old and for many of those years, I was center-midfielder so I was always running. I admit, it wasn't that bad, but since I've gotten out of the habit of running three miles a day during the season I've found it difficult to develop that passion once more.

BUT THOUGH IT MAY BE DIFFICULT, I HAVE TRIED.

Raleigh has so many nature parks with great trails to go for a jog on - my favorite is Lake Johnson Park. It's three miles of paved trail and 1.8 miles of unpaved trail and it's nothing short of amazing and terrible, at the same time.

So, for you runners out there, props to you. I applaud you. I respect you. But I do not understand you.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time.
