People want me. At odd hours.

I haven't really officially informed people to no longer try calling the 5307 number to reach me. However, I guess it's catching on.

I went to bed around 11 on Tuesday night and, with my phone on silent, I missed two calls --- one minute apart --- from this phone number: 352-821-2317.

Then, this is my favorite part, at 4 AM today, I missed a phone call from this phone number: 352-317-9445.

Who are you people?





** I got a text from the number that called me at 4AM that said:

"wh0 da hell y0u is I get money ho'"

I called her, she answered and when she heard my voice say "hello," she hung up. So I called her right back and got her voice mail, naturally. And I left her a message ripping her the nicest new one I could.

"Right, I didn't complain when you called my number at FOUR this morning. I didn't even try calling you back at a ridiculous hour as retaliation. I just let it go. But when you text me something as ridiculous as what you just sent, I had to step in. You had to have known when you got my voice mail that you'd called the wrong number. But you clearly decided that wasn't enough, and you texted me this afternoon anyway. When you hung up, that was the last straw. You called the wrong number, Weirsdale -- yeah, I looked you up.
Don't be a dick about it. You know you did. Don't continue calling the wrong number. Don't apologize or anything -- just don't continue. Have a fantastic afternoon."

That is absouletly hysterical! I got a series of stupid texts one night. When I realized that the guy needed a ride, I text him and told him he had the wrong number. His response? "Why you gotta be like that, dawg"? I responded that I'm no "dawg", but a "mutha" trying to sleep. He quit texting.

Someone busier than you is running right now.

I have a confession to make to my spark buddy, Melissa: I did not go for a run last night. I'm terrible, I know. Here's what else I know: 1. I have never made such great progress in getting into shape as I did when I was jogging regularly. 2. My knee starts to stay in a constant state of noticeable discomfort after I've jogged for over a week. 3. I miss the liberating feeling of running. 4. I miss the empowerment of cross-training (biking, swimming, running) So I've been perusing the intarwebz for motivational media this morning. And while I hate Nike for their shoddy work ethic, jacked up prices, and apparently tiny clothes, I love them for their motivational material. I just have yet to find any media more inspiring to me than the following advertisements. And ... "I am addicted. I've collected footsteps before dawn. Seen places I never knew existed. Run to the moon and back. Been a rabbit for the neighborhood dogs. Obeyed the voice in my head. Let music carr

The heat is on...

I've got to admit, now that people are actively involved with following and commenting on this blog, I feel pressured to write legitimately interesting stuff. Some things that peeve me: 1. I typically don't complain about misspellings of my name, but after three years, my co-worker still doesn't know my name is spelled with one L. Whenever he writes a message for me, he directs it to "All-" ugh. Initially I thought, maybe this message is for ALL of us. Wrong. It's specifically for me, he just doesn't know it only has one L. And I bet a million pesos he also doesn't finish spelling it out because he doesn't know it ends in i-s-o-n. I mean, it is a tricky name after all. 2. I went grocery shopping yesterday. I had a list of five things to get in Publix: dog food, dog treats, Gatorade, wine, toilet paper. I came out with 15 things (I counted because I wondered if I could squeeze into the express check-out... nope). I came out with 15 things -- NONE of

603.

I never told you this story, but when I was a three, I had to have physical therapy for a broken femur. Every single day we drove to PT, we went over a small, fairly insignificant overpass with had a shopping plaza below it. The address for the shopping plaza was just barely visible over the bridge. And it was 603. And every single day as we went over, I would excitedly blurt out the numbers to show my mom I recognized them. This turned into a game for us. And eventually, a tradition. Fast forward into my "more grown up" ages ... like ... high school. And, if you could be a fly in my truck, you would have without a doubt witnessed me driving over the overpass by myself and, sure enough, I'd just say it ... "six oh three." Shortly after high school is when I met Seth, Tommy, Leif, Troy, and Jonesy in Gainesville. Still, there was no connection. Their friends and families came to visit, we then bonded, they returned home, and still, nothing. It wasn't until th
