When I was in 7th grade, I was eliminated from the first round of a spelling bee due to my inability to spell the word Whirlwind. This is a word that accurately describes the last week of my life. I just counted it out on my fingers and realized that in the past four nights I have slept in four different places. I have not changed time zones in the past week, but I really feel like I have been all over the country, even if it just was the northeast.
I moved at the beginning of the week, which is in itself disorienting. Then I had to go out of town for a managers meeting for a couple days and I arrived back to my new residence late last night. And of course today is a Friday, so I am going to be shot into a weekend of frenzy. I dont think there will be too many stories from this weekend as I am officially sick. This will give me an excuse to keep it low key and let my body recover from the past week.

Lists
This afternoon, full of boredom, I elected to fill out a craigslist thing. Not that I'm terribly lonely, or even that bored right now, but I think it's an interesting element. Partially I'm curious to see what kind of responses I get to my minimal, ambiguous, and suprisingly sarcastically devoid post. To think that people actually utilize anything of the kind in the vain hope of finding love is interesting. I suppose people who are terribly busy (myself) have a difficult time finding someone that they can be compatible with. The only problem is that those who have a difficult time finding people rarely are compatible with all but a small percentage of the general population; sifting through the dregs on a website of anonymity rarely yields a diamond in the rough, despite what Oprah might have to say on the issue.
Regardless, I'm bored enough with my lack of a personal life to go ahead and see what kind of responses I get. The first cute 35 year old woman that displays interest ....it's on.

When Is A Dinner A Date?
Sometimes existence is more limited and sometimes it is really blurry. I am not sure which of the two are better, but right now I am leaning to ward the former.
I went to dinner last night with a new friend, one who has occupied much of this blog since its inception. Now I am not sure if last night would be considered a date, or if it was just two friends meeting up for dinner. I can explain how we ended up there and maybe you can help me figure out the appropriate title for the dinner. As you should know by now, we met randomly after not meeting. This was followed by another meeting at a crowded bar with a bunch of her friends. After this I casually invited her to meet up with my group on Saturday night even though I knew she probably wasnt going out. Since she didnt go out on Saturday, she suggested that we meet up and do something that didnt involve alcohol (as she was intoxicated the two previous meetings). And this is how we arrived at dinner after a little rescheduling. So it was not as if I just straight up asked her to go dinner and she did not originally ask. So was this a date or just two people meeting up for dinner?
I am fine with either answer. The dinner doesnt really give any clues because it was a lot like a first date and it was a lot like hanging out with a new friend who you barely know. So back to existence... I am hoping to move away from the blurry and head back to the limited.

Musical Coma
For the past who knows how long I have been in an unfortunate musical coma. I was brought out of this state today by the purchase of M.I.A. Kala. I also purchased Jay-Z American Gangster and listened to it in and was unfortunately under impressed. I had pretty high expectations going into it and was let down with the overall cd. I will say there were some really good songs, but there were also some songs that were just kind of there. Kala came next, and when the first song came on I found myself dancing in my room at noon on Tuesday. After the first song, I was expecting it to sort of settle and be a decent album. I was dead wrong. It kept pounding song after song and I kept dancing and laughing at myself every 15 seconds when I would finally control my body. I listened to it again and it had the same effect as the first time. Now as I get ready for bed, I have to struggle not to play it again because I dont want to keep myself up too late.

So It Begins...
I needed to create a new blog in order to separate my social life from my running life. My running log has turned into a social diary and I really wanted to get away from that. I decided that since I am not necessarily the most creative individual, that I would open up this blog to other people to help create a unique blogging community.
To start this off... I am going to continue with my previous story. Unfortunately the story mellows out after such an auspicious beginning. In the last post I was unsure if whether or not my presence was requested by this girl or her friend who just happened to be a guy. Well last night I found it was totally the male friend who was into me, and I am sure that leads one to wonder how that mellows things out. Thats a good question which I will try my best to answer.
So last night I met with this girl and a different group of friends at an irish bar in chinatown. This time, it was almost a completely different group of friends except for one of the guys(not the one who was into me). I dont think things could have went better in the situation. I end up meeting up with this group after a few drinks in Arlington. Not long after I got there her friends started talking about leaving in 20 minutes and she was saying she would have to leave to because the metro closes at midnight during the week. Well I was fortunate enough to have a car. I told her I could drive and she accepted this offer. My subconscious was way ahead of me at this point, and possibly you have caught up to my subconscious. I later caught up and realized that if her friends were leaving in 20 minutes and she did not have to worry about catching the last train... than that would leave us with some good one on one time. I was right and that makes me back to how things could not have went any better. I got a chance to actually get to know this girl and the only unfortunate thing is that I am now hooked. I guess things mellowed out last night, but the story is far from over.
