outliers

I was talking to a friend this morning and he asked me what was the last book a read. I thought it was gonna turn into some joke 'cuz when we spoke in the past about leisure reading we had very similar views, we never really read a book that wasn't forced upon us with school. I told him that I wasn't really into reading much fiction novels because it never really interested me; I told him i like reading books like Rich Dad, Poor Dad and those type of enriching books. He suggested that I check out this book titled, "Outliers," by Malcom Gladwell. He told me that he thinks it's a book that i will enjoy and can relate to. I just picked it up at a couple hours ago and I can't seem to put it down. I can't wait to finish it!

Just thought i'd share :)

credit

One of my biggest pet peeves these days is when people take credit for things that they don't deserve credit for. I'm not the type of person who needs credit for what i do; i can care less if i never get credit for what i do; however, DO NOT take credit for something you didn't come up with.

THE END

running

This past saturday I participated in a 6 mile walk called march of dimes. The purpose of march of dimes is to raise money for improving the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. It was great to see thousands of people support this great cause.

A couple of weeks prior to the walk I had the urge to get into running. I haven't ran long distances since training for football back it high school but I wanted to give it a shot. I want to run in a 5k to start off, hopefully move up to a half marathon. I was talking to a friend who just recently completed her first marathon and she told me the feeling that she had when she completed was something so great she couldn't explain it. I told her that I don't ever see myself ever doing a full marathon but she told she didn't either and not to think like that.

I found the first race I wanted to do. It's called Race for the Arts 2010 in Sacrament. It is a 5k on August 28, 2010.

not havin' it...

Do you ever have those days or weeks where you feel so distant from everything around you? Like doing everyday tasks don't feel the same? When you worry what the future will have in store for you? When every little thing worries the hell out of you? because i sure do. I don't know why I feel like this nor do I know how to stop feeling like this. I hate for my first blog to be about this but I really did not know how else to possibly make me feel better. I thought that maybe writing how i feel could be that cure. I wouldn't go as far as saying I'm depressed because I don't have anything to be depressed about; however, I do feel like I am having some sort of anxiety. I don't know what has led me to feel this way but i would appreciate it if it left so i could go back to my everyday life.
