Whelp, here goes nothing….

My 5th marathon will be on December 5th in Sacramento, CA and while I’m not as trained up as I would like to be, I’ve committed myself to running this race with my dear friend, Derek Brookmeyer.  This will be Derek’s very first marathon and I couldn’t be more proud to be there by his side.

I stumbled upon this quote today and I couldn’t help but find it fitting.  Perhaps this is just what I need to read going into this race for I’m finding that I need subtle nudges like this to remind me why I got into this sport in the first place.

  • The obsession with running is really an obsession with the potential for more and more life. – George Sheehan

Here goes nothing….

The Holidays are here…

… and you know what that means?  It’s time for some of the wittiest, most inventive, and funniest TV commercials you’ve ever seen!

Target has already unleashed some supremely hilarious spots, including these little gems featuring the oh-so-talented Maria Bamford:

but I think this one is my all-time favorite:

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Wow.  It’s strange to realize that 2010 is almost over — and what an incredible year it’s been thus far!  As I find myself reflecting on all of the great memories made with friends and family this past year, I can’t help but feel an intense gratitude for this beautiful, wonderful life that keeps expanding for me.  Today’s post doesn’t intend to list out all of the great memories and accomplishments of 2010 [that'll be reserved for my New Year's post], but it’s more to take a moment and reflect on the many blessings that I have in my life.  As mentioned in posts of past, my life is rich beyond my wildest dreams and I find myself wanting for nothing — who could ask for anything more?

May we all reflect on the myriad of blessings we’re all bestowed with on this day of thanks and remember that every moment, every memory made, every new friend gained, every new experienced indulged in…. well, these all serve to enhance our time on earth and to give thanks we must not only recognize our blessings but also give back in a way that praises those people who have enriched our lives.  Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I want to date a DJ

So I’ve just decided….. that I want to date a DJ.

Here’s my thought process:

1)      It’s safe to assume that most DJs have good taste in music and are always listening to new music to get inspired to improve their own repertoire. I wouldn’t mind being privy to all of this new music and with all of the new stuff that I already find myself listening to, well, how cool would it be to help inspire my DJ boyfriend and hear one of the tracks that I suggested he insert into his set and be like “yeah.. that was me… right there. Credit given, credit taken, credit accepted. You’re welcome, crowd.”

2)      DJs – the good ones, at least – are world travelers, and what do you know? I love to travel the world! Sounds like a match made in heaven, if you ask me. Take me ’round the world, cute DJ boyfriend. Let’s travel to the corners of the earth and go exploring. I’ll pack a suitcase and help you pack yours. Let’s go!

3)      Most DJs are pretty good looking, too. Most. Not all.

Tiesto? Hot.
Kaskade? Hotter.
Armin Van Buuren, David Guetta, Deadmau5. Yes, please.
Gareth Emery. Sure.
Ferry Corsten. You look like Matt Damon.
Axwell, Sander Van Doorn? Super cute.
Jono Grant? Can we make out soon?
Paavo Siljamäki? You are so nerdy-looking, and yes, I know you’re married and have a daughter. But… there is something about you that I find so damned crush-worthy.
Eric Prydz, Andy Moor. Call me?
Avicii. I find you strangely good-looking, though I am probably much older than you.

As for those who land on the not-so-good-looking-thanks-I’ll-pass list:

Claude Von Stroke. Meh. Pass.
John Digweed. Uhh… Pass.
Paul Oakenfold. Cool, but… you is old!
Carl Cox. You look like a hippopotamus.
Benny Benassi.  Meh. I feel like you’re always drunk.
Joachim Garrud. You sure are an amazing performer. And yes, I remember you touched my arm that one time. But…. yeah… no.
Wolfgang Gartner. You are most definitely one of my favorite DJs, but that does not mean that I feel incented to make-out with you.

So there you have it.  How serious am I about this newfound realization of mine?  Not serious at all, really.  But it sure sounds like fun.
