UNSPOILING SPOILER ALERT RE: THE WIRE
Damn.
Anyone who’s seen it knows that’s all I need to say. Although it’s plastered all over the internet so you have to actively avoid anything and everything The Wire-related to not know what I’m talking about.

After 7 weeks of training, and after a 7 mile run yesterday, I believe my half marathon goal time of 1:45:00 is within reach. I think it depends on the pucker factor of this being my first half more than anything else. The machine is pretty well tuned, at least.

Damn.
Told you. About 45 seconds before it happened, did you not get an empty feeling in the pit of your stomach. You knew it was coming.
The way the whole thing was handled, the mixup at the very end…The story getting bumped from the paper…that just shows how deep the Wire is. How something that means so much to you in a show, can just be forgotten in the “real world”. Next episode is dope too! Shits going down!
When the bell rang after someone walked in and he gave a long look and didn’t think twice I knew it was coming and was still surprised.
You summed it up pretty much how I did on a message board (yeah, I’m a dork like that): We saw Omar as a superhero, when in reality he was just an indigent, no friend or family having lowlife who got got by the game.
In other news, are you running in October? If so, are you gonna wuss out and do a relay with your boys or man up and do something serious?
The relay was way too much fun. We were sponsored by a beer company and dressed up in cans. Nothing like running 6-7 miles with a buzz on. Almost made it enjoyable.
When I went to the wrap party in Sept the gag reel showed the part with Omar in the body bag. Can I just say how hard it was for me to keep that spoiler to myself for nearly 6 months? It was torture.
