If you were able to get inside my head, and see my thoughts... this is pretty much what you would get.

I'll give you all your answer before you even ask the question. Yes, I am the worst, laziest and most inconsistent blogger on the site. And as I realized this, I also noticed that my blogging skills have a stark correlation with all my other sweet skills. The correlation is that, they really aren’t that sweet. I can walk on my toe knuckles like a Gorilla, I can seed a news article in less than 90 seconds, I can also sleep for an entire day and accomplish nothing.. Do you see the trend? Just look at my sentence, paragraph and over all though structure. So, I’m going to try to not suck so bad in the future, but, come on... really??

In other news, I’m running a bunch again. I’ve got zero injuries and I’m dropping those extra pounds I packed on from not running for a while. Me and the Westmainia (Westmania and I if you wanna get proper (want to if you’re going to get picky)) have also been hitting up the gym every night after work to get in some extra cardio because we have been wasting our lives the past two months.

I’ve been going crazy trying to get in shape, let my show you a little bit of the contrast between and injured Burns and a healthy Burns.

 

Avg. day of activity (injured):

8:30am – Alarm goes off for practice, hit snooze

8:40am – Alarm goes off again, think about hitting snooze, but just turn it off instead. Doze back off to sleep while thinking of a reason for not being at practice.

Some where between 11 and noon – roll out of bed, check my Gmail, aim message, facebook and funny videos on college humor.

12:30pm – eat some brunch, prolly a box of cookies and/or some whipped cream stright from the can. Think about going on the bike or to the pool. Think of 5 things id rather do. Do none of this, check college humor for more funny videos.

1:30pm – Watch a movie on Netflix or play some Tiger Woods ’08. Think about eh other more important things I should be doing, like running, working, finding a job, paying bills, not wasting my life, cleaning?

5pm-9pm – Go work at tutoring. Here I don’t really do work (I’m at tutoring right now). Look for funny videos AND funny pictures on college humor. Leave early.

9pm-3am – eat some junk food or ice cream for dinner, then NOTHING. Literally I some how manage to waste 6 hours and get nothing done. Some how I get home from work and enter this void of emptiness. I prolly need a girlfriend, or a hobbie.

3am – Put in a movie to try and fall asleep to, I’m pretty much an insomniac. I watched Gattaca last night for the fourth night in a row.

??am – 8:30am – The only useful thing I’ve done in the last 24 hours; sleep.

 

Avg. day of activities (NOT injured):

8:30am – Alarm goes off for practice, hit snooze

8:40am – Alarm goes off again, hit snooze…again

8:50am – Alarm goes off… OH F$#&. Get dressed, wash up a little and head out by 9am

9am -12pm – Practice. Depending on the day of the week this can vary a lot, but it’s always tiring. Today was an easy day, with just a 40 minute run over to Hayward for pillars, ab work and hurdle drills.

12:00pm – get to my room, check my mail, my phone, facebook, more mail and college humor. Sit around for awhile, eat something healthy, like a grilled chicken salad or some tuna and edamane. No more junk food. Get around to taking a shower.

1:30pm-5pm pretty much the same as before. I’ll grab a nap, watch a movie, run some errands, pretty much whatever I need done.

5pm-9pm – Working at tutoring, working on runnerspace. Just getting it done. Tonight I won $25 on a scratch off. BOOYA.

9pm-11pm – Hitting up Oakway fitness center with Westman. We go every weeknight and get in 45-60min of cardio on the bikes. Then we do some stretching and some abs.

11pm-11:30pm – Eat some dinner, healthy stuff again. Jump in the shower. Get ready for bed.

11:30pm-3am: even though I just got ready for bed, I’m a complete insomniac; I rock out on my computer or watching a movie all night.

3am - Find another movie to watch and passout to.

 

 

… so that’s pretty much my life over the past 2 months. Also, my essay on running and hotties is still in the works and should be out soon!!

 

 

 

Wednesday. Not only is it a day of the week. Not only is it the middle day of the week, but its my least favorite day of the week. Its just kinda there. The excitement from the previous weekends endeavors, races and meets begin to fade. But the yearning for the coming weekend hasn’t quite hit you yet. You pretty much spend your day in a melo funk. Not cool. Now that I’ve set this depressing tone, let me just say that this particular Wednesday rocked a little harder then most, almost so hard that I might have accidently mistaken it for a Thursday. That a pretty big deal. So, why was today so grand? Well, it’s because I ran today. Its because I ran today and nothing hurt. It’s because I ran pretty hard today and nothing hurt. And why did I run hard today, when I was only doing a nice, easy long run? Because of a little running phenomenon I call the hottie factor. What is the hottie factor? Check in tomorrow and find out more in my two part special feature.

Running by a hottie of the opposite sex: An in-depth look at the hottie factor and running etiquette.

Part 2 Feb 15th

And last but not least. I want to try and take full advantage of the functionality of this blog, so I’m going to bring you a little song of the day action. Try and bring out some new artist and old, just good song I think my fellow runners would enjoy on the mp3 players... or walkmans?!??

And because tis Valentines day. heres a little seduction...

 

I'm sooo blogging right now. I’ve tried this who blogging thing a couple of time before. I did one on Blogspot for about three weeks back in November. Soon after that I began and even lazier rendition of weak blogs on here. The later of the two was pretty much my bloggings waterloo. so after a three month hiatus, im back, and ever more ready to numb your mind.

But this time around should be a little different. The downfall of my previous blogs also, coincided with the downfall of my training. I hit a rough patch of injuries and self-doubt, but I and my blog, like the phoenix, shall rise again. And like the tale of the rising phoenix, we shall be stronger, faster, swifter and slightly better with grammar.

So just to catch everyone up to speed on what I’ve been doing out here. I’ve been hurt for a while. My body is getting used to high milage training. At least, its high milage to me. I have faith it’s going to drop my times now that im getting back in the swing of things. Tomorrow will be my first day back to doing workouts with the gang. Im pretty pumped. Though I know I will be taking that back after about half of an interval. So there it is folks, ill try and get back at this lil’ thang daily and do ya proud. Proud.

P.s. Happy Valentines Day

 

Before you even begin to read this blog, let me set the tone, let me start you off with a little flava....

...For being so late at updating my blog because he enjoys reading it and it saddened him very much that i had a lack of commitment to updating it and his entertainment needes. Now on to my semi-kinda-daily update.

 

 

Somebody fired my editor, so its not my fault that this hasn't been updated in 9 days. I've been sending in drafts for review, man my publisher is way behind. let me catch you up since last Saturday.


Sunday- Running, TONY ROMO!

Monday - Pillars, running, muhco hotties in the fitness center, bad timing for gas.

Tuesday- Workout, no burger and brew cause someone *cough cough Westman* is a wimp and gets food poisoning. food poisoning is for hippies and communist. Which are you Westman? My vote is for Nazi war sympathizer. Shame on you. Fitness center hottie score: 5 ***NEW WORLD RECORED***

Wednesday- I have no idea what i did??????

Native American Pillage and Rape Remembrance Day - Run, Ate dinner with some of the guy and coach at the Electric Station. Only the most fabulous restaurant in all of Eugene. Then I cooked a Turkey. 6 hours for that puppy, man, 6 hours! It was delicious though. We ate again over at Joel's, He also made a bird. It was a good time for all. TONY ROMO!

Friday- Tempo work out, abs, went to a movie. No country for old man, the worst ending to a movie ever!

Saturday- ????? stufff and running prolly??? i prolly pooped on Saturday also. Oh, I watch some football over at Westmans. he's dating an Asian girl. I also made some CRAZY insane Pancakes. Bestest I've ever made. Better then that Ratatiouli rat feller. Strawberry-banana, thats all im gonna say, and cinnamon, ill say that too.

Sunday - yeah boooooy! i went out ands bought the secret weapon. I bet every one of you thats reading this want to know what the secret weapon is, dontcha?!?!!?!? Well guess what, it'll scramble yo brains! I went running for an hour, biked for an hour, and did abs for 30. Sundays fitness center hottie score: ZERO... =(

I'm gonna try and be more up to date, but I've been really really busy, with all the important things i do all day long. Anyways, if i don't do another update today... you can call me a liar, a cheat, and a down right horrible person with little to no respect for anyone. Whats a humdinger??

I lied about the publisher and editor, they didn't get fired. they are just really lazy, and they are me.

I would like to take a minute of your time today, and discus with you a important topic thats increasingly prevalent in todays society. That topic, is plagiarism. In order to engage in a meaningful, two way conversation about plagiarism, it must first be made sure that all parties involved have an equal understanding of the topic at hand.

The word plagiarism comes from the Latin "plagiarius," meaning "to plunderer." Such as in, "The pirate want to the club with his drank and his two step, so he could plagiarius da booty." Now if you put the work in laymen's terms, such as stated in the Merriam-Webster dictionary....

Pronunciation: ˈplā-jə-ˌri-zəm also -jē-ə-

Function: noun

Date: 1621

Definition 1: The method and/or practice of getting and A in a meaningless art/history/english GenEd class.

Definition 2: Google.

Now that we are on even ground, i just want to know when it became "hip" for teachers and professionals to start looking at what people actually turn in. It is a well documented fact, thats as college enrollment rates have gone up 14%, over the same time period that GRE scored have decreased an astounding 27.8%. This just proves that the same 73 term papers have been circulating college campuses the world over since 1964, That was the year Al Gore invented the GoogleNet. Secondly, this proves that not a single "New" idea has been had since. PS3, Gutar Hero, even yogurt in those little tubes, are all idea dating back to Pre-1964. Just look how well Plagiarism has been working for this country. Do you think The US would be in Iraq right now if it weren't for the wonders of plagiarism? Heck no! George W. Bush's "credible evidence of WMD's," was just a "paraphrased" report by George Washington, about the british, he found on Google. Look how well that worked out! Bloody brilliant!

So as for teachers Googling your papers.... lame!

anyways... I just wanted to say that from now on I'm just going to be copying my blogspot blog onto hear so you all can read it. But i'm not giving my self permission and i will not site it with MLA citations. VIVA LA RESISTANCE!

So maybe i'll be serious. I have another blog I started about a week or so ago, if you wanna catch up on the exciting world of Gered Burns, then hit up this sweet looking link... Sweet looking link. If you don't want to read it, thats cool too, i don't mind, but it does make you a bad person. But seriously, my name is Gered Burns. I'm a runner. I enjoy dangerously under cooked steaks and buying iphones with my hungarian roomate. We bought 17 this weekend. I just moved to Eugene, OR this past September. Before that i lived in Albany, NY. thats where a grew up and went to college (UAlbany). So this is pretty much the first time i've lived anywhere else. Some of you might think that is lame, and that again, would make you a horrible souless person. I hope you like coal, cause thats what you're getting this Chrismahanukwanzica. Gotta be P.C.. I' m a horrendouse speller and typist. And i wish this blog had spell check. So yeah. The weather here sucks. I might  also have ADD.

 

Love always,

-Burns

Your classy!
