Ice Cream Kid


Something I've been thinking about for the past few months (and I think Aaron Karo touched on it in a recent Ruminations) is at what point in my life am I going to stop calling people "kids". The other day, I ran into this kid from high school (see I just said "kid") and he said " Hey so who are you living with these days?" and I said Mike B and some other kids. Now, even though we act like we are 9, none of the people I live with can be considered a "kid". We are all in our mid 20's with good jobs and some even have serious girlfriends. So there's no reason for me to be calling them "kids". I could just as easily say "dudes" or " gentlemen" but "kids" always comes out. Whatever. I'm not ready to be an adult.

I don't understand why VH1 couldn't wait until the end of the millennium to come out with a show called "I :ove the New Millennium". Don't get me wrong, I've watched every single episode like twice this week, and they got some awesome panelists (Winne Cooper, Six from Blossom, and of course the great Michael Ian Black and Hal Sparks, to name a few), but isn't a tad soon to be recapping a decade that's only 80% complete? I know VH1 has "Best Week Ever" but at least they air that when the week is done, not on Wednesday.

I have no interest in celebrity gossip, for about the past year and a half I've been reading PerezHilton.com once or twice a day. It's mostly to catch a new celebrity Nip Slip or to see what that crazy old Britney Spears is up to. But I've recently decided to stop looking at his site because of the way he treats my dream girl, Miss Lily Allen. He constantly posts nothing but negative news about her, and I will not support his stupid site any longer. With that being said, I do need to get my celeb sleaze so I have made What Would Tyler Durden Do as my number one celeb site.

Lily Allen is adorable, and dare I say it, a beautiful singer. I'll even go as far as to say that I would like to date her, and if you know me, you know I don't date. But I would make a case for Lily, and here's why:

She dyed her hair pink.


If anyone has seen me recently, you know that my hair is also shocking. As in shockingly long and stupid. But I'm cutting on July 4th.

She loves to party




Everyone knows I also love to party.

She loves ice cream!



Not only is she eating ice cream in that picture, which is something that I do 5 nights a week, but she is eating what seems to be a Pink Panther bar. While the Pink Panther bar is not in my top 5 of ice cream bars (see below for list), I can respect her choice. Anything ice cream that also has bubble gum in it is top notch.

Lily Allen's FTW attitude really gets me going, and I also love her accent. I think that she would enjoy my company. If anyone knows her, give her my number. Thx.

4. Power Rangers
3. WWF
2. Old School Tweety Bird
1. Snoopy

I nearly got killed the other day while chasing the ice cream man for a Snoopy Bar, but that's a different story for a different day.

hey

Well I suppose it's been some time since I've written anything. Whatever. Get off my case.

My running streak is in tact. I've done at least one mile every day since February 11th. I think there's only been 3 or 4 days where I've run only 1 mile... if I'm gonna do a short run I do at least 2 just because I don't like to get everything all dirty and sweaty for only a mile. But there's been a few days with horrendous weather that I've only done a mile. With the weather getting warmer, I've been going in the early mornings. Or sometimes if I'll do a quick two miler done on my lunch break or whatever., No
worries. The summer run series began last week. I love the summer run series.

I've changed the name of the blog to Dinosaurs and Pez because the name Run then Blog implies that I would be writing a lot about running, which is cool and all, but I don' want to limit myself to that. Running has become something I just do. I just run ya know. Dinosaurs and Pez are two of my favorite things, so wtf mate I might as well just call this that.

If any chick out there reads this, I have a question:

when ya'll wrap your heads in a towel like this-



Does your hair actually get dry?


Speaking of chicks and / or women, the Presidential Election is coming up in November and after the longest goddamn primary season ever, it looks like it will be John McCain vs. Barack Obama. While this is interesting on a thousand different levels, something that I've been noticing the past week or so is the media's coverage on whether or not the millions of female Hillary Clinton supporters are going to support Obama or McCain. This is stupid to me. If you were supporting Clinton, male or female, I would think that you were supporting the Democratic Party. There should be no question as to if the so called supporters were going to vote for Obama or McCain. Now this is going to sound incredibly sexist, but this is my blog so I don't care, but what this whole thing tells me is that the women of this country still have no idea as to whats really going on. Here we have George W. Bush ruining the country for the past 8 years, and there is still a possibility that the millions of female Democratic "supporters" that came out super strong in the primaries are going to vote for another stupid Republican just for the off chance that Clinton will run again in 2012 and they can vote for her then. That makes a ton of sense I suppose... Vote in McCain, suffer for another 4 years, then hope that Clinton runs again. It's cool, everyone else will pay 6 bucks a gallon for gas, the U.S will blow up 40 percent of the rest of the world, but you chicks will get another chance in 2012 to really make a statement.
