It's Been Such A Long Time

I've had such writer's block these last few weeks that I decided to write about not being able to write about anything. I'm basically trying to turn nothing into something. That's what life is about, isn't it?
This summer has not been a big summer for movies. However, next year will be filled with a lot of movies I will want to see. X-Men: Apacolypse is one, and Batman vs. Superman is another. You probably already guessed that from previous articles. The big one for 2015 is the 7th episode of Star Wars. I'm actually looking forward to it despite the prequels ruining Star Wars for me. I like what I see so far. I have no idea what the plot is right now, and I like it that way. Some of the characters look pretty bad-ass as well.
This year has been the Year of the Runs for me (that's what is going on the holiday cards anyways). I can't remember if I did one in May, but I did one in June, two in July, one in August and I have one next week and next month. For those not doing math, that's six runs and walks. It's what gets me out of bed as of late. My foot was starting to hurt a week before the one in August (Color Vibe), but I still did the walk. It might not have been a smart decision to do the walk anyways, but I paid money to do it. And I try to be a man of my word. It still hurts, and I have my next run coming up next Sunday. I'll still do that run, but this run will happen on a dirt trail. I like doing these runs, but as far as the Color Run and Color Vibe, I may not do those again. I feel old every time I go to them. Don't get me wrong. I think they're fun, but I think I outgrew them.
I haven't gotten on the bike as much as I would have liked, but I will get on it more as time goes on. I hope to be able to ride to the High Trestle Bridge and back. Back being in Des Moines, whether that be Grays Lake or Water Works Park. I was never a fan of RAGBRAI, and I never saw myself doing that, but that might be on the table at some point. I won't get into why I don't like RAGBRAI because I don't like to get negative about anything that: 1) I don't know a lot about, 2) I have never experienced for myself, and 3) others may like even though I don't. I have come to an understanding of being on the bicycle and being respectful on the road. I also realize that it's not just a one-sided problem. Any sort of vehicle on the road is a problem. If everyone would just watch out for one another, there wouldn't be a problem. Put down the phone. Text when you get out of the car. Eat when you're NOT driving. Bicyclists, use hand signals. Drivers, learn what they mean. There's no reason why we can't share the road. Go back to a previous article, What's The Hurry?! I'll have more to write about shortly. I have lots going on in the next few weeks, and I'm not sure why I didn't have anything to write about in particular this time. Having a negative attitude might have something to do with it, and I won't come on here with that. We see plenty of it. Good day to you all.
