What makes your hero?

Lance, Lance, Lance. I'm am tired of sports figures and entertainers worshiped as heroes and idols. A true role model is not someone doing anything for personal gain but for the gain of others. I think this inward focus on "me" as fostered by today's sports figures and entertainers is a big reason why there is a decline in respect for one another among ...well society really, not just youth. If we had more respect for one another I imagine there would be less bullying, rape, and murders. Just a thought.

Goodyear? No I'm tired.

Starting off this year tired and having a hard time kickstarting into a regular workout routine. I have managed to take my dog out for some sprints around the block. He can really wear me out. He is huge and strong and not done growing yet. The people we got him from said Siberian Husky mix. I 'm thinking Malamute, German Shepherd mix just because of size and coloring. My son thinks huskies and malamutes are pure if they have light blue eyes. That's just a myth really, eye color is not a reliable sign of breeding. Anyway he all but yanks me on my face and pulls me along. He is definitely a sled dog. Problem is he craps out after a half mile. Ya, he hasn't had a lot of distance training from his previous owner. I'm hoping. To change that.
Restless sleep and bad dreams have been keeping my energy levels at a minimum. There are some days where I don't even want to sleep but I know I would be worthless later on. So I have been living on water and caffeine. Oh and sugar. Not good I know but oh well.
