So, I'm back. It's been busy (as always). I went down to Roanoke this weekend to participate in the Marine Corps' annual Toys for Tots 5k Mud Run. I've got a friend that lives in Roanoke, so it was a chance for the Supavillains to gather and do some damage.
The Trip Down:
-Friday morning I woke up drunk. This means that my hangover happened around 2pm, while I was just starting the trip. Not cool.
-Wendy's chili is actually pretty good. But they just put chunks of hamburger into the chili, which caught me by surprise.
Roanoke:
-I stayed near downtown Roanoke.
-Roanoke is not a nice place. It's pretty much a ghetto.
-Speaking of ghetto, I saw a guy run from the cops in our neighborhood. No one who lived there was surprised.
-Again, ghetto: they found a dead body in the park across the street that Thursday.
-Really, I mean ghetto: they don't just have hookers walking the streets - they have lines that would put drive-thrus to shame for hookers. At 4:30am on Sunday morning, I saw two hookers get out of a car. Within 10 seconds, 4 cars pulled up to try to get the hookers.
-The Chick-FilA is really nice... the manager came over and talked to us, and refilled our drinks. I mean, we were sitting 5 feet away from the fountain machine, but it was still a nice guesture.
The Mud Run:
-You would think if you were going to run at 11am, you wouldn't stay up until 5am drinking. You would be wrong. A group of like 15 of us played flip-cup until the wee hours of the morning.
-The river was much higher this year. Trying to go upstream sucked.
-The first time the current took me under, I hit my head on a rock... but I still managed to save my cigs. I probably shouldn't be proud of this, but I am.
-The mountain sucked. I should probably quit smoking/drinking, or at least quit doing charity runs.
-The mud this year was the craziest yet. You definitely couldn't even walk in it - my legs kept getting stuck. There were a lot of lost shoes.
-I had to throw away every single piece of clothing I wore - shoes, socks, pants, drawls, shirt, hat, and tie. Don't ask about the tie - if I get them, I will post pics that explain everything.
Well, it's time to get back to work. It's been fun, and maybe if I ever have a free minute again I can entertain you further.
