Haha, how right you were... i only needed two truck beds full (one for bed, kitchen table, couch and one for chairs and belongings) but i didnt have nearly enough dedicated containers for the random shit! At the end i just started throwing random crap like ice cube trays and door hooks, dish soap etc. into the bed and hoping for the best. I was borrowing a coworkers truck (small ford ranger) so i w as overwhelmed with rushing the process. I think i only had maybe one item fly out down the road lol...
So yeah you called it
im very minimalist yet need to be even MORE so sometimes.
Ps: carl why you gotta be all here and there and nowhere at once man? I moved to ABQ but you should still come and kick it with me all fresh.
Pps can i call you F-dawg or does that sound too dirty?
Ppps: did you watch the pre classic this weekend? OMFG RUPP!
On topic now: drinking a beer now that ive unpacked pretty much all my stuff. May try to get my herbal smoke on later since its the weekend. I need a fucking cheeseburger too; im famished.
ABQ?! Weren't you in VT before? That's a big difference, how you liking it out there? Never been to the SW myself. Would like to.
You can call me whatever you like. If I didn't see this post then I probably wouldn't know who you were referring to if you said F-dawg, but I think I can remember that.
Sadly no, I have not seen any track results in a while. As you know it's pretty much an "internet sport" since no IRL knows WTF you're talking about, even if you're at a track meet. One of my best friends from HS, who was all New England in indoor (champion!) and outdoor, who competed in college in the decathlon, well he was the only person IRL I talked to about track. It was awesome just getting a beer and BSing with him. He was the only person who ever understood the obsession, aside from the good people on the Stat! and the so/so people of Letsrun. He killed himself on Aug. 31, 2012 and I've always felt partially responsible. That was the beginning stages of being totally fucked on heroin and I couldn't bring myself to follow track. Was too painful.
I mean we would still go to the big HS meets if we were both around when they would be going on.
I really miss it though. Last time I briefly signed on to Letsrun there was an article announcing Webb was retiring. He was a senior when I was a freshman getting into the sport and he was an instant hero of mine. My other former XC/track friends are all over the place: NY, Hawaii, Japan, so it just felt like I was clinging to something that was no longer there.

I'm trying to get back into running shape after a LONG lay off and I'd definitely want to get back into the sport. I remember seeing some races where you could just tell something special was going to happen. I don't know how to explain it, but you could almost literally feel the electricity in the air. I remember helping to get the word out on a big 2mile in Hartford years back where we had the deepest 2mile CT had ever seen, Barnicle 8:50.xx, Gras right behind, 5 under 9, Haji set the CT record first sub 9 deuce (LOL if anyone else is still reading and actually understands these references then I'd give you significant props). Knowing I helped get the word out on that and a few other things I actually did that made a difference, however small, really used to mean something to me. There's something special about track that you either get or you don't.
I'm rambling now. You just had to throw in a Rupp reference! I have all of this old race info stored in my mind still, but no one I can share it with and reminisce with. That's what I miss the most about my friend. I guess it's time to look to the future though.
Sorry I was bad at getting back to you a while back. I've actually felt really bad about that for a while, where I even stayed away from BL for a while as it reminded me of all my social failings. Hope you're doing well man! %)

Thread: Took some Adderall which gave a nice boost. Took my sub dose, though that is actually less and less everyday because I can't stand being on a maintenance dose. About to toke some herb after work and then maybe a night run?
