The Burdens Of Friendship

Trying to stay in touch with people who aren't in the same state as I am is taking way too much time away from my drinking. Man, FWPs

There's nothing worse than when free equipment worth hundreds of dollars just doesn't quite work right. Man, FWPs

Velo News Problems

From the Facebook page of blogger (and FWP-haver) extraordinaire, Sam Johnson:

This pissing me off right now: 1. phone coverage here in Redlands. 2. after a careful reading of the contract for my health insurance plan, realizing that I am probably not covered for racing related accidents. Let's hope health insurance reform helps me out some.

Knock Knock.

Dear Alex,

It's not rocket appliances, it's a shift key.

Runner's World Problems (Part 2 Of A ? Part Series)

No, you can't have your marathon finishers' shirt, because (as you should be able to tell from its name) it's only for people who actually finished the marathon. Man, FWPs

Runner's World Problems (Part 1 Of A ? Part Series)

So as most (all?) of this blog's readers know, I'm interning with the a marathon this spring; as most of you don't know, we ran a few hundred short of medals, race t-shirts, and our pre-race gifts. As such, we (justifiably) received some complaints. Despite the complaints' justifiability, not getting a $5 medal, $6 tech shirt, or $7 backpack after being wealthy enough to shell out around $100 for race entry; healthy enough to run either 13.1 or 26.2 miles; lucky enough to do so on a gorgeous day when near-freezing temperatures, rain, and high winds were predicted; and to be able to do all of it on the roads (many of them major thoroughfares) of a metropolitan area (over 1.5 million people) that have been closed for hours at some inconvenience to the general population purely for the entirely esoteric purpose of allowing 13,000 people with Vaseline rubbed on their inner thighs and nipples to run around in short shorts (only to finish up just eight blocks away from where they started) is the FUCKING DEFINITION of a first world problem.

I'm Sure This Racist Somehow

The bank was closed when I wanted to deposit my checks, but because they were uniquely-formatted paychecks the instant-deposit slot on the ATM wouldn't accept them. Man, FWPs

Somehow This Is Isn't Surprising

I think I accidentally joined the "gay gym" in my new town. Man, FWPs

I Don't Know Whether This Piece Of Technology Does Or Doesn't Make My Life Easier

I just went in on an mlb.tv account with my roommate, as I do every spring, and tonight I discovered that MLB archives great games from the past and allows you to watch them online in their entirety with an mlb.tv account. I just wasted 45 minutes of my life watching Kerry Wood's 1998 20-strikeout game. I'm sure that will only be the beginning. Man, FWPs
