TOMORROW
I don't want to jinx it but I have an interview at one of the local casinos tomorrow night. Woohoo. Wish me luck.
WEIRD
I was at Barnes and Noble tonight reading a new book and had a pretty weird experience. I was just sitting their minding my own business when all of a sudden at the table next to me some latina lady had an out of body religious experience. I am not sure what actually happened but they were all praying and then she busted loose like a woman at any black funeral I have ever been to when there was an open casket. Yes I have been to one!!! Just very weird. They couldn't find anywhere better to have this take place than Starbuck's at B&N. I mean I always heard that Starbuck's coffee could be a religious experience but come on already

YOU CAN BE MY HUCKABEE
REPUBLICAN
I never really considered myself a republican or a conservative, at least not for the most part. I mean I don't appreciate some one else spending my hard earned money haphazardly but I am also reasonably liberal socially. But I am currently reading Mike Huckabee's new book " A Simple Government" and I have to tell you the man makes a lot of sense. I almost voted for him in the last election but got a little scared off by the perception of him as much more conservative than he probably is in real life. I have seen him on a number of talk shows over the last couple of years and he usually makes a pretty good impression on me each time that I hear him speak. I have to say that without any future gaffs on his part or some unveiling of a secret past life he has a pretty good chance of getting my vote the next time around.

JOB HUNTING.......
....CAN BE FUN
Went to an interview at one of the local casinos today. Hopefully I will get a job. With benefits and shit!!!.
The funny part was that when I walked in there were two ladies sitting there waiting for their appointment. One was drop dead gorgeous and had on one very short mini-type skirt. If was of the mind I could have told you the color of her panties. Did I mention she was hot.
Women number two was a moderately attractive lady dressed what appeared to be very professionally and well put together. On first glance I would say that she was dressed appropriately for the interview. Did I mention that she "APPEARED" to be dressed very professionally. AS this lady walked toward the office in which the interview was to be held you couldn't help but notice that her skirt, which was slit in the back, was slit entirely too high for her ass. Both myself and the guy next to me turned to each other with a look of total disbelief. We didn't say to much of it until she came back out of the office after the interview. She walked right by us again to get out of the building. As she did so you couldn't help but get another show. Unlike the last lady I don't think she was wearing panties. She went combat to an interview. The funny part was that the older (60+) lady next to me had also noticed this situation. She was like "damn" and was just shaking her head. As I went in for my interview the situation became even funnier to me at least. As you walked into the room you realized that the lady doing the interview was sitting behind a desk and when the girl got up to leave the office this lady had to have gotten a real eyeful as the girl was leaving.
Seriously, don't people have a mirror in their home. That skirt probably didn't fit her 5 years ago and she is still trying to fit into it. She obviously has no real friends who might bother to tell her " hey I can see you crack" in that outfit. She will probably get a job and I will be sitting at home collecting unemployment.

YOU WILL HATE YOURSELF TOMORROW
ONLY THE LAST .2 HURTS
Just got done watching the movie "The Spirit of the Marathon" on the documentary channel. They follow 7-8 runners as they train and compete in the 2005 Chicago Marathon. I thought that they did a very good job of capturing the nature of training and running a marathon. AS a veteran of 4 marathons an countless other races of varying distances I can certainly relate to what these folks go through to get to the finish line. It almost sparked a thought that maybe I could do that again. I say might as my last marathon was 13 years ago and I am very overweight at this point in my life. I know what it takes and I just don't know if I can convince myself of that dedication. Maybe a 1/2 marathon. My problem with running, well almost any measurable activity, is that I become very competitive with myself during training. One day needs to be better than the last and that's how I end up getting hurt. In the past I have run anything from 100 meters (junior high) to the marathon. I have run a half mile in 2:08 when I was in the 8th grade and run the mile in 4:40 in the tenth grade. Probably could have been pretty good if I wasn't so into football. No small guys in that sport. I have no illusions that I could even match my times of my late thirties much less those earlier capabilities. Could be fun to get back in shape and see what I could do on the roads again.

OUCH!!!!
MOTORCYCLE DOWN
While I was out today I saw a guy get hit on his motorcycle. I think the guy on his left moved over and cut him off. I didn't see the accident until he was already going down on the ground. Looked like he took a pretty good tumble. I know I was doing about 45 at that time and he was probably doing the same. I actually chased after the guy who hit him because, for a moment, it looked like he was going to flee the scene. More likely he was jsut startled and going to the driveway at the Home Depot to turn around and go back to the accident. He was a young kid and he probably just didn't see the biker. That is one of the most dangerous things about riding in a city. I feel bad or the guy but I still believe that the rider can prevent the majority of the accidents we are in if we pay attention to the other drivers intentions and err on the safe side and give them plenty of room. God be with him.

WORKOUT
SUFFERBITCH
That's what this workout should be called. I use videos form Sufferfest for training on my indoor trainer and occasionally I adapt them to other pieces of exercise equipment. This time it was a 2 hour workout using the workouts " Fight Club" & " Downward Spiral" on the stair master and the elliptical.One hour on each. This is a new take on a challenge that the creator put out a little over a year ago to start the new year by completing these two workouts on NY Day 2010. If you want a great workout check out the website. www.thesufferfest.com . I am not a sales person for this sight, just passing on some good info. I have been using the videos since mid 2009 and love them.

BOING BOING BOING
OUCH
Had a $2700 check bounce for some photography that I did last year. Did I say ouch already. It is working out in the end. Got a hold of the company and they are re-issueing a new check that will be here Friday. It really sucks though when you go out of town and expect to have money in the bank and when you stop for gas the ATM says that you are $1700 in the hole. Damn good thing I take cash with me for spending whenever I travel. It's partially my fault since I hold checks for a while until I actually need the cash. Like now when I am not working. But the check did not have an expiration date on it and the compnay is still successfully in business. The funny part is that While I was driving around North County San Diego a rep from the same company called and asked me to do some work for them in April.
This is just a quick sample of the kind of stuff I do for money
NORTH COUNTY
There are two really important reasons I go to North County San Diego. First, that is where one of my oldest and best friends (Maryann) and her husband (Joe) live. They are great people. And fun. Secondly, "Honey's". This is a diner located on HWY 101 in Encinitas California. I have been going to this restaurant for at least 6 years now. Awesome breakfast. Great food, 12 types of coffee ready for serving, and typically great San Diego weather. This place is fantastic and I couldn't recommend it more if they were paying me to say this. If you're there, go. You will not regret it.
Just a few snaps from Honey's
Green ( Asparagus, Zuchinni, Peppers, Avocado, & Feta) Omelette
The Coffee Wall.
REST
I didn't do a whole lot while I was in San Diego. But that was more or less by design. I needed to get away and rest a little. Wish I could have stayed 2-3 weeks. Had to get back to the dogs though. It just seems as though everybody is always so active down there. I love to just drive down the 101 and watch people ride, run, & walk there day away. I have ridden my bicycle in this area last year on a 50 plus mile ride and it is great.
I thought the way that the sand reacted around the various rocks as it was going in and out with the tides was pretty cool and made a couple of cool photos while I was walking on the beach. I could have, and probably will go back to do so, just stayed hours and shot different sand formations/colorations.
Heart Rock (Check out the dark sand around the rock)
Surprise Eyes
In With The Tide
Maryann & Joe
