Vanity – it’s my favorite sin

June 2, 2006

At the end of "Devils Advocate" the devil himself said: "Vanity – it's my favorite sin!". It seems this is quite true. Whenever I look around, vanity is all I see. Why in the world do we need all these fancy brand new cars (for which we pay 5 years), car stereos that you can hear from 7 blocks and when sitting in that same car I somehow think that bass and treble are with levels +10 and bass booms through you and makes you want to throw up. But hey, it's trendy, it's cool, who cares how it sounds. What is most important for most of the people – it's what others think of you. If you have more expensive car, louder stereo, eat in more fancy places, go to cinema more often (what ever, you get the point) – then and only then you have fulfilling life. Why is that society convinces us that what you want to be is good-looking, much spending, living in debt… shallow people? I guess I'll never find out about all the people, but at least I can fight for my life not to be such.

The image above is my running log for last 6 months (1 bar for 1 week). I haven't been superconstant about this, but it must change, because in exactly 114 days I'm going to run my first marathon in Berlin. Before that I must survive 16 week training with increasing distance – 2 weeks before marathon I should run 5 times a week totaling around 50-70 km with longest runs around 30km. It will be 'interesting', I'm sure of it. The good thing is, although running straight for 1-4 hours might sound hard, actually it is very-very enjoyable.

Also, tomorrow is one 10K competition. If all goes well then I dream of finishing in top 5 and doing my new 10k record (goal is to run under 40 min). But who knows, it's on very hilly terrain and people say that last 800m is uphills.

I've always wondered, can ninjas catch colds? Now I know. (They can, but it's kind of difficult)
