THE MAJESTY OF DEFEAT
Saturday. 16 on the schedule with 12 @ marathon goal pace. I reluctantly put my shoes on and headed out into an unbelievably beautiful day. Shorts, singlet, bare skin, sunglasses, 54 degrees, sunshine.
My plan was a 2 mile warm up followed by 12 miles at 7:57 followed by a 2 mile cool down which I'd hoped would be more of a continuation of the faster miles than a cool down.
I got through three miles as planned. Right on schedule for the first three, starting to warm up a bit. As soon as I clicked four I hit it. The proverbial wall. I was finished. A mile and a half from home with an outfit that is nowhere near appropriate for anyone not running at more than a moderate pace. Shorts so short that that slightest wind might divulge my manhood. An outfit I strut around in proudly while moving about through my daily mileage -the worst attire one could possibly hope to be wearing for a disappointing walk home after a defeat. Then again who am I to be one who invites judgment as to my attire. I am after-all wearing purple tiger stripped spandex on the cover of my first novel.
Home, food, hot bath, regroup. I decided to hit the last yoga class of the day and call it a sober night. And by a sober night I don't mean the typical three quarters to one and a half bottles of wine I drink on any given "night off."
8 hours of sleep, church, home, food, regroup. I went so far as to put on my running pants hoping to get in 8 miles to put me at a mere 40 miles for the week. Some 8-10 miles short of what is on my schedule, although the previous weekends cruise served as a better than average excuse.
Pants, shirt, socks… I stopped before I put my shoes on and checked my running schedule. Due for 8 miles at a moderate tempo tomorrow did I really want to do 8 miles on what should realistically be my only day off for the week? I sat down and yet again checked the yoga schedule.
Did I really want to do yoga and regroup to start again with fresh legs on tomorrows run and finish out a strong week, or was the agony of the previous days defeat still weighing heavy on my brain? It was very obvious to me that it was the latter. Completely unmotivated I decided to pack my iPod for the first time in lord knows how long just for a bit of inspiration. I ran a moderate 8:00 minutes flat the first two miles and when I got to the park it was on. 7:30, 7:11, 7:18 with the huge hill……
I ran a 46:38 10K knocking a full 2 minutes off of my 10K PR (set last May).
It wasn't that I ran out of inspiration, It was that I needed to break up the monotony. I used the inspiration I found deep within today to sign up for 3 races in the next two months.
See you at the finish line!

OFF THE RECORD
I'd like to go on the record and say that I have NEVER done an interview with the New York Post about The Drunk Diet. And furthermore, any features they may be printing this weekend are completely fabricated.
(I may or may not have gotten word that they're running a bullshit article over the weekend).
For the 14th time, don't believe anything you read unless you've read it in The Drunk Diet!

WHERE HAVE ALL THE GIRLS GONE?
Yesterday was just about the most amazing day of my life. I signed 600 copies of the book for Jameson, did my show on Hair Nation, then went to see Van Halen at Madison Square Garden. Sometimes my life is just too good to be true. I went to the show with my good friend Tommy who sings for a band called The Dirty Pearls (which is irrelevant but a good shout out never hurt anyone). If I am a huge Van Halen fan, consider him obsessed. (It's always best to go to a show like that with a guy who's a super-fan. It's much more fun than going with someone who's heard Jump on the radio a few times).
The show was amazing. All the bull shit you read on line about Diamond Dave not being able to sing, the guys in the band are fighting already, Wolfgang isn't really singing back ups…. Politics, and fuck politics.
The truth is they killed it. Dave was amazing. His outfits were great and of course he's in great shape. The only thing missing was the girls. Since when do girls not like rock n roll? Had we gone to a Katy Perry concert the place would have been packed with hot 20 something girls in the bras. Meanwhile the rock n roll shows are packed with 50 something guys remembering when the used to get laid on a regular basis.
Rock n roll was invented to cultivate more sex. It seems as of 2012 it'll only get you laid if you get the balding gray haired guy next to you drunk enough to mistake your long hair for a girl. If you can even find a guy with long hair at a rock n roll show. The only other guy I saw with long hair was wearing a fucking 80′s Halloween wig and had the cover of 5150 on the back of his jacket. If we weren't in different sections I would have kicked his ass.
My point is, ladies, rock n roll is sexy. Rock n roll men are much more complex and interesting than other men (if you call beer and pre-mature ejaculating complex). And for you guys out there under the age of 55….. Just because it's not on pop radio doesn't mean you can't be a fan! Just because you're 24 doesn't mean you can't listen to Van Halen 2 for the very first time and get excited! Hell I didn't hear that album for the first time until about 2000 when I was 20 years old! It's ok to like things that aren't modern and popular! In fact by liking them you are making them modern and popular.
I don't have all the answers, but I will continue to preach the gospel of heavy metal rock n roll to younger generations. I'm disappointed that there were no girls at the concert last night. And virtually no one in their 20′s or even 30′s. And as usual, I got made fun of for having long hair. A Van Halen concert is the last fucking place anyone should make fun of someone with long hair. If anything it should be the other way around. What the fuck has the world come to?

MONSTERS OF ROCK
I just woke up from 12 hours of sleep after the most amazing weekend of my life. I DJed, I drank, I watched amazing bands, I swam, I drank, I DJed, I preformed a wedding ceremony for couples renewing their vows and made both parties solemnly swear to preform oral sex as often as possible… I even managed to get in 11 miles over the weekend and eat fairly healthy all weekend long, which is absolutely the key to why I'm in such a good mood now although I'm on dry land in 40 degrees.
The best part is, they've already confirmed me to come back to next years Monsters of Rock Cruise!
In other news, my facebook page views are up 3692% this week and my book is number 89 in Health and Fitness on Amazon! (Top 100,000 overall!). With less than 2 weeks until its release you should consider picking it up on-line and save yourself $10 as it will be $25.99 in stores.

FUCK
The Drunk Diet: How I Lost 40 Pounds Wasted contains the use of the word "fuck" 288 times.
We're working hard to find out whether or not this is a record.
That's a lot of fucks to read in 20 days upon its release!

RETURN CUSTOMER
Web designers, doctors, and mechanics.
They don't do the job right the first time, they merely get the job done. You'd have no reason to come back and spend more money if the job was done correctly the first time with the best parts available.
They are in the business of return customers. It's a delicate balance of coming back for more and feeling satisfied.
It's kind of like going to a hooker. You have to be happy enough to come back, otherwise you'd go find another hooker who might get the job done faster and for less money.
Don't get fucked in the ass by your doctor. Unless of course that's just what the patient ordered.
