Impossible is nothing.

Put on my running shoes tonight and went for a short run. It's been a while since last time i put those adidas on, don't know why i waited so long. Have i been that busy?

I've waited 23 years for this day and it finally happened. Yes it did, and it was worth all the wait. So i was finishing up my run and heading back home, i decided to go through the neighborhood streets instead of the main streets 'cause 1) it's a change of pace, and 2) i was going pretty damn slow from my workout and didn't want ppl to see how slow i was jogging.... yep. that was probably the main reason. Anyways, this car came by from the other direction and slowed down, rolled down the window, and I heard a girl holler at me. I got hollered!

I know, i know, it's nothing special for all you girls 'cause you gals get hollered all the time. But you gotta understand, this is the first time someone hollered at me while i was running!!! Well, first time if you don't count the boys. 'cause i got a few of those before... i gotta say, it was not quite as flattering as a girl hollering at you. But back to the story. It was dark at the time, but from the voice the girl sounded pretty hot, or fat. she's got this saucy voice that says, i party and drink. She might be asian 'cause she was driving a suped up honda, but i doubt it... Asians hardly holler. Not to mention a girl.

Sadly, the encounter ended as abrupt as it started. the thing with drive-by hollers is that they tend to drive by. And with runners is that we keep on running. Sorry Asian-wannabe-honda-supercar-saucy-voice-holler, it would never work out between us. So to sum up the night: hot chick in nice car hollered at me, and I ran away. Yea, that sounds about right.

On a related topic, I've been finding these little bugs in my room lately. It's not uncommon to find bugs sometimes, but i've been killing like one or two of them a night. the worst thing is that i they're not even hiding away from me, it's like they're dumb or really really brave. found one on my body last night right before bed, and just now i killed one on the monitor. silly bugs, no respect whatsoever. maybe i should shower more... and clean my sheets.

Works' been keeping me busy. And somewhat drained. Doubts, uncertainties, uncomfortableness are taking a toil mentally. The finish line seems so far away and unreachable. it's like a never ending race and i don't know why we're even running in the first place. But, keep going i must. If there's anything i learned from running is that what seems so impossible at first, can be obtainable with time. there will be pain, there will be sweat, and perhaps encounter some injuries along the way. But with each small stride, you are getting closer to the goal. The thing is that the finish line is always there. There is nothing you can do to move the finish line closer, you have to move yourself. And you begin by taking that first stride, one after the other and just keep moving. Perhaps if you're lucky, someone might holler at you along the way. It'll feel good, I know. But keep running. You'll get home yet.
