Montrez Harrel says " bitch ass white boy" to Luka. No big deal.
Black lives matter everywhere, but what about the white lives also being butchered by the police?
what about the black lives being butchered by other black lives?
It's a corrupt political organization and scheme. lolll
So glad I didn't get brain-washed like many Democrats and Alt right republicans.
fuck off.

that's interesting about juggling improving coordination and learning. i started learning guitar a few months ago and it's been super cool to be a complete noob at something so complicated and endless. i took piano lessons for a few years as a little kid (stopped when i was ~12) and really wish i'd stuck with it long enough so that i didn't have to re-learn how to read sheet music. it's not that relevant for guitar, at least at the level i'm at, but it'd still be so helpful to have that additional language as i get better.
plus learning guitar is making me want to pick up piano again.
why in the name of all that is good and holy did i wait until i was 33 to start learning music in earnest?
anyway brb adding one minute of continuous three-ball juggling to my list of goals.

- run 18.11 km in 1:39:36
T+DI 141 but i'm sure it was lower at the start of the run. drove my parents and two friends of theirs out to a botanical garden near the end point of my normal sunday runs. they walked home from there and i did an out-and-back and then drove the car home. such a glorious day. left heel started getting a blister in the last km or so, pretty annoying. the new kinvaras are harder to lace tight for some reason.

- warm up x 1 km; 400 intervals x 10 in [1:37, 1:39, 1:34, 1:38, 1:39, 1:38, 1:39, 1:38, 1:38, 1:23] w/100 jogging rest; cool down x 1 km
T+DI 130, felt amazing. kicked a wee bit on the last interval just for fun and because i could: the Rx'd pace (4:03-4:08) was set for a hotter, humider day.

tornado warning and flash flood warning in effect until 8:30 PM, guess i won't be running today. flash flooding isn't so uncommon here but tornados are rare. the thunderstorm happening right now is pretty biblical.
