BeerRun
So during the day ive been pondering the idea of creating a new website with the title of BeerRun.com. I think the title says it all...this will be a site which will deal in part with beer and in part with running. I feel there is a definite cross-section between the two and there needs to be something to connect them. This site would obviously be based in running but it would also include a serious discussion of beer. I know there are plenty of runners who avoid alcohol completely, but on the other hand I know there are a large number of runners who are equally interested in running and alcohol. Some of the main features of the page would be national race results, running news, beer reviews, message board, pictures, and regional events with possible of an expanding nationally.

Internet!
So we officially have internet at the new place. Its weird how just getting something like the internet can take a load off your shoulders. I could obviously access the internet from other locations, but I still didnt have the stored passwords that I had on my computer. This made paying bills and changing my address a bit of pain. I ended up missing at least one payment, but thats another story for another time.
The idea behind this post is the importance of certain things that are taken for granted. In the last year I had a nice stretch of continually lacking at least one extremely important aspect of my life. It all began about a year ago when I egged my phone and was forced to live for a month and a half without a phone. This was most definitely the worst of the big three. You would be how surpised how much not having a phone can affect your life. Not having the phone was actually worse than the month and a half where I did not have a functioning car. I could actually walk to school fairly easily and more importantly I could call people if I really needed a ride. The worse part of not having a phone was ironically enough when my car broke down and I had to hang out in my car for well over an hour and freezing night.
So back to the original idea of not having the internet... thanks to the previous experiences I realized that not having the internet really wasnt that much of problem. There is free internet everywhere, but free cars and phones are hard to find.
