I'm still saying that I'm not a super competitive person, and that I like running for a lot more reasons than just beating people. But it would be lying to say that I didn't smile at least a little bit when I saw a YouTube video with this picture of me about to pass this lady. I remember working really hard to kick past her in the last stretch, and I don't care if she's a girl and way older than me...that wasn't easy and I'm glad it's on the internet forever now. Besides, I'm not smiling as big as the race director was when we posed for a picture together.

So we're still in Detroit, and I'm pretty sure I like it here. Whenever I'm in a different city, I always try to eat the local, regional foods the area is known for. Detroit is know for food that looks like this. I wasn't too sure I wanted to eat it, but it was better than it looks, and I ended up liking it. I guess you can't really judge these things visually, because my friend Barb always looks good, but I would never eat her. I actually really like how Detroit looks. I think it's pretty much required to take pictures of the graffiti, prevalent urban blight, and this building that was in Transformers if you come here. I understand it though, because it's all fun to look at like a safari for post-apocalyptic party time. Speaking of party time, we spent the rest of the day watching people color. Nicole and Nicole were enthralled and couldn't look away the whole time. I honestly was pretty enthralled by this little worried guy.

Sometimes the combinations of things that I participate in is strange to even me. This weekend definitely makes me question what exactly I'm doing with my life. Here's a quick run down.

I woke up before the sun to hang out with people who like to wear spandex and neon colors and shorts in the snow with my friends. I look really serious in this picture. This picture is less serious, but it means our fireplace has a new present for the mantle and that's serious.

Then we rode in the car for hours to see friends and watch this double glowing yo-yo guy. I don't really take tons of pictures at gallery openings, especially when the artist is so hostile.

And then this is for the trunk full of this to take to the house party which leads to me doing things like the picture above at the hotel...and this is just day #1 of our Detroit adventure.

Glowing cat destroying a fancy chair in a light beam...that's all for now.

Are you wondering why my mom is messing around with her hair? It's because she doesn't want to look like this wig-headed looking woman wearing sunglasses while driving at night on her birthday. Happy birthday, Mom.

I'm not quite sure how boiling water will turn something that looks like this into something delicious that I will want to eat, but nature is weird so just go with it.

It was nearly sixty degrees on the last day of January in Cleveland. To celebrate this rare and incredible meteorological event...I got tacos. Honestly though, I frequently get tacos to celebrate lots of things.

Apparently, the world is full of all kinds of dummies...and one pink geek.

We often use our Sundays to go out for breakfast and to run errands. Hopefully this picture is from the second part not the first.

We went to strange and exotic places with this guy like here (I'm not sure they should be advertising being high in/on anything) to buy this thing and ended up in an even stranger and more exotic place with this guy.

It's no secret that I tend to exhibit obsessive compulsive traits. If you know me at all this is pretty much accepted and no longer a surprise when I do crazy things. What is surprising and strange is that my cat Sienna groups and organizes her toys throughout the day while we're at work. I frequently come home to find configurations like this when I know they were scattered all around the house the night before.

I remember for a long time, I would always see Sonic commercials on TV, but there wasn't actually one within a three state radius. I always thought they were mysterious and weird since they would spend all that advertising money on a product that I couldn't buy if I wanted to. Naturally this inaccessibility made me want it even more. When I heard they were finally going to open one locally, Nicole and I were both very excited to try all the exciting food we had seen advertised for so long. When they finally opened and we enthusiastically tried everything...it wasn't very good. At all.

This happened a few years ago now, and we never went back since that first time. Well, recently they've been playing commercials for deliciously shot chili cheese things and well...I'll just say that their advertising is still far superior to their food.

Believe it or not, that crazy looking floaty stuff is a drink. A drink called Chia Iskiate. Supposedly it's an Aztec superfood that's high in Omega-3 and other "good for you" nutrients. It's also made from the same chia seeds as Chia Pets, so how could it possibly be a bad thing?

Speaking of superfoods, I recently heard in the news that Hostess has filed for bankruptcy, and the future of these magical glowing golden cakes is in grave danger. They aren't full of Omega-3, but they're full of cream filling, so how could they possibly be a bad thing?
