Its amazing what a run can do for you. I had a horrific day at work uncovering what will become the bain of my existence through Holiday. I wont get into details but lets just say because we have no accountability within our organization people can do whatever they want. The problem is that peope can be outright stupid and and make life hell for others based on their stupidity. good times.

So after a delicious steak from the grill - I cleanedup a bit and decided i needed to go for a run and clear my head of work. Its amazing how a run and some good music can take you away from a hell you were in only a hour ago. It was about 80 degrees, light breeze on the water, and the sun setting over the city - listening to music. Music that can take you to a place you've been, want to go or only can dream of living in.

Some thoughts that went through my head
- Portland is a beautiful city. Not many places you can walk out your front door and run on the water at dusk as the sun sets.
- Life isnt that bad. Things are pretty good and we/I tend to forget that
- Work is work and it will throw challenges your way - its up to you how you roll with it and what you want out of it
- Good friends, Good family, Good job = Good life.

Couple of songs highly recommended
-City on Down - OAR live from Maidison Square Garden
- City of Blinding Lights - U2
- Positive Vibes - Kottonmouth Kings

Ok - its a long one - sorry - peace out
