Trash Day in ****holeville OH
Well here it is Friday all ready!! Wow this week has flown by and it has been a banner week for your’s truly. If you read these blogs you’ll know I had an incredible Wednesday but the rest of the week has been outstanding as well. I’ve had excellent workouts everyday, kept the diet pretty clean and have had an outstanding attitude!
I’ve had over a hundred hits to my page in one day….something that’s never happened before and I feel really good about that. It’s good to get just a little recognition once in a while. Maybe if I get a thong or something I could get in the top six!!! Hellllllll Yes!!!
Anyway, here it is Friday and it’s trash day in Shitholeville OH 45887 and because of that it is my least favorite day to run. I hate running by peoples stinky garbage cans lining the streets like some sort of smelly gauntlet assaulting my nose with their stench of rotting meat.
This morning wasn’t too bad because it isn’t as hot here as it has been. It was like surface of the sun hot for most of the summer with 500% humidity but now it’s been downgraded to just hot as hell with a comfortable humidity of 200%!! AHHHHH Shitholeville in the summer…..what a tropical paradise!!
Where was I?????? Oh yeh!! Trash day!! So anyway here I am running by these stinky trash cans and suddenly it dawns on me that there is a pattern developing here. Sitting out on top of every single trashcan I passed were empty pizza boxes!!! I was stunned!! Every can had at least one box and as many as 5 sitting out. I ain’t lying!!! I actually had to stop for a moment and look back down the street just to make sure I wasn’t imagining things….sure enough every can had a pizza box by it!
And in addition to the pizza boxes several cans also had empty cases of beer.
Now this tells me a couple of things. Number 1 is I need to start a pizza place pronto…..and number two is that there are a lot of beer swilling pizza grubbing, just waiting to die…unhealthy people living in Shitholeville OH 45887!!! How sad.
Something to Think About
Yesterday a group of us were standing around at work talking and someone mentioned that they wished they could go back in time knowing what they know now. Then everyone started speculating about what they would do different and what they would change if they could. At the time I said something stupid about how I would stay away from my first wife or some other dumb ass statement but since then I’ve given it some thought and I know exactly what I would do.
I would start living a healthy life right from the get go….as a young kid and try to do everything in my power to get my mom to do the same. I would try to get her to fix healthier foods and not so much gravy and lard fried dead animal carcass!! And I would do whatever it took to get her to quit smoking!!! If I could do that maybe she would still be here today instead of being dead at 66 from heart disease. Yup that’s what I’d do……what would you do????

Yeah I wish I would have stuck with workingout from when I was in the Military….. I would be freaky huge right now
But I guess if I could turn back time ……. I would of snuffed out the 308 kids that beat me in High School…. so I could of actually read the validictorian speech I had wrote…lol

Wow.
First off, no thong will get you into the top 6 …. sorry but there are rules (I have a secret source who keeps me updated) I’m afraid this weeks criteria have nothing to do with thongs lol
Second, when you open up that pizza place, call me I am totally in bro! lol
Third….well, I guess I’d have started getting fit sooner sure but if I could change one thing (that might have changed all else) I might have chosen a different school from 4th-8th grade when I had the chance ….long story but it makes sense to me hahaha

Hey, if the thong makes you feel sexy…do it! You just may start a trend. The pizza thing is so true. I guess it’s because it’s easy when people have had a long day. However, it leaves behind a lot more than it provided. As for the what would i do…I would have not lived my life wishing for things and actually got out of my comfort zone and done them. As for trying to change your parents, that just won’t happen. I know from personal experience as well. People have to want to change. My dad is still a smoker dispite having had two stints put in his heart because of the habbit. You just have to live your life and hope that people will follow in your positive lead.

It’s funny what you notice when you change yourself. Oh, what was that quote… I’ll have to go home to look it up. But what would I change? I don’t know how I could, because I’m not sure how I got to where I am today, but I would like to not have been so scared of everything! And when I was little I wanted to be a vet, but somehow when it came time to pick your career, it completely escaped me, and I wasted 1 1/2 yrs in Community College and probably most of my 20’s
And I of course would have kept up the weights, only added cardio and better nutrition. As far as not meeting a certain someone, well, I got 3 kids from that, so I can’t say I wish I’d never… but I would have liked to skip the crap. But then, again, maybe I wouldn’t appreciate what I have now in Dave… ok, skip that last part.

hmm let me think .. I would have gotten my RN sooner instead of procrastinating so much about it. Wow that is funny about all the pizzaboxes and empty beer boxes. Are all your neighbours a little on the heavier side. I still order pizza for my kids at times i must admit so you will see them at my house from time to time as well. nothing like a good piece f pizza once in awhile. Anyways cute blog and happy weekend…thongs in a photo..when you put one up i might put one up as well….

Okay… you made me laugh… real hard, the kind of laughing when you start to cry and then cry harder, because you’re laughing so much (maybe I have issues…) anyway the trash thing really spoke to me, Bryan. Living in Buffalo, ny our warm days are limited, but the days that it is warm and the stench is floating about….ugh…the run…it’s nauseating…
You know there are a million things I would do differently and at the same time nothing I would change. Even the bad things I have tried to learn from (okay sometimes I don’t - but then I realize that I need to get better at learning from my mistakes….so it is still all good)
Alright,if I had to pick something maybe for me it would be that I understood that my father’s inability to give up his alcohol addiction was in no way directly correlated to how much he loved me…. if I could have learned that in my pre-teen years I think my life would have been saved much heart-ache. Ooooooooohhhhhh that was kind of heavy….. love your blog and I vote no on the thong…..wow us with your charm instead!!!
