"Gonna burn it all away"

A scorcher today and I thought it was going to rain.

Still no Ipod but I had one song in mind and it was "Burned Bridges" by Living Colour (first song off their new album). It has a constant beat and good introspective lyrics. If you are running or pedaling, it's a good song to begin with as you can set a pace with it. It starts off with an unnecessary beat box but gets organic about 30 seconds in.

Wearing my black "Snakes On a Plane" t-shirt which I'm sure contributed to its own saturation. I finished "A Void" last night and will type up a book report later as I reflect on it further. On the whole I liked it but don't feel it's as good as "Life: A User's Manual."

I mention this because I gave myself a morning off from reading really dense literary "maldiction" and finally cracked open this month's Men's Health, which cites a new study claiming that one would ride his bike faster at 6 p.m. as opposed to 6 a.m. I don't exactly recall why, but I have a theory -- the odds are you hate your job and, as quickly as possible, you are trying to put as much distance between yourself and your office.

One thing that saddens me as I see people touring the Financial District is that there are mothers, caretakers, housekeepers and the like pushing strollers along the walkway. It's dismaying because they're potentially exposing toddlers to whatever's still in the air over there. Is there nowhere else for them to go on their constitutionals?

I have run approximately 3 miles at a time during lunch on the past two days so I'll give myself a break today. Must continue hydration and expulsion rituals.

Thank you for reading.
