Weekend

Hi Dudes!

Check out the Execution of a Chump video.




What is up?  Another Bix @ 6 is in the books.  This week was huuumid.  Besser and I did not run as fast as previous weeks.  The air was too thick.  But I still ran pretty well.

Getting close to the 170s...

Monday, July 5, 2010

Hi Dudes!


Bix @ 6 was perfect.  We had great weather and I felt great.  It was one of the best runs I have had in a long time.  I had fun passing Gary too...I held my breath when I ran by so he didn't know I was working hard.  Brooksie looked pretty comfortable sitting on the side of the road drinking Miller Lite.  Maybe Brooks isn't really hurt?  Hmmmm.....


After my Chump Rant, I thought I would share somethings that I do like.  Red Hot Brian Scott.  That dude is genius.  I don't always catch his morning show, but they play his "greatest hits" and "highlights" throughout the day.  That dude is a QC icon.  I remember being at the Funny Bone a few months ago and he was there.  I know, right!  Anyway, dude sat down at his booth and his man thong crept out over his jeans.  A little male whale tail.  That was what prompted me to go out and get my a few for myself.  Iowa State...here I come.


I ran down to watch the Firecracker race on Sunday.  Moreno took this race back over, and did a great job.  It was about 11.5 miles from my house.  My Sherpa (brooks) met me down there with some Gatorade and a towel.  Holla!  We watched a bunch of runners (and a boat load of walkers) had a couple of Reebs, and had a nice little Sunday.   


Now back to the real world.

Chump Rants

Hi Dudes!


Welcome back and welcome to the first installment of Chad Rants (or Chump Rants).  Some of you have heard of Zero-to-Mad, or Zero-to-Chad.  It is basically when something sets the kid off.


Chump Rants are my way of dealing with some of these issues in a more constructive way.


For example - I don't like radio commercials with some local business owner's kid on it.  You may think it is cute, but I can't understand a wowd your kid is saying.  Yeah, it's WORD not wowd.  What is cute to you, is insanely irritating to me. "My daddy can fix yo cumputer".  Really?  Can he?  Because he can't seem to teach his beloved child to speak clearly.  Maybe daddy should spend less time on the computer and more time bonding with his son.  Does he really think that people will be driving in their cars and call him after listening to his dumb-ass kid?  Maybe.  But only because I feel sorry for his special needs kid and want to throw a little money his way.  Pitch me your product like a man and move on.


So how was your day lil fellas?  While Chris is slowly falling apart, I am on fire.  There's a new sheriff in town...and it's me.  Holla! 


Bix @ 6 is tomorrow and Brooks will be on the sideline.  Maybe he can carry my bags for me while I crush the course?  For Realz!

A tale of 2 chumps

Hi Dudes!


Welcome to my 21st blog post.  Does that mean my blog can drink now?  Holla!


Some of you have asked about my diet plan.  Some of you are not familiar with "The Tale of two Chads",  it was a lesser known Charles Dickens novel.  Let me illustrate.


The top picture is me a couple of years ago.  The bottom picture, well that that's me on the right, chillin at my class reunion.

Yeah, I know.  That is for REALZ!


But all of that is history.  I will be rollin at 170 before you can say...HOLLA!


Okay, enough about that.  People have been calling me "Chump" since college.  But what does "Chump" really mean?


Glad you asked...here are seven definitions and examples;






'My friend Chad is such a chump. He talks a lot but nothing of any relevance comes out. In fact he is a world champion chump'.

2)  A sucka that tries to act cool, but is really a fool and tries to act tough, but really isn't
a.Person who says they have a million dollars but is really poor. b.Person who says they kill you with a gun, but the only gun they have is a plastic one.

3)  A stupid or gullible person
You chumps don't have a clue what this guy is up to.

4)  Pathetic character who is often reminded of his (guys are labeled as chumps far more than girls) shortcomings by superiors.

Synonymous with 'loser'

5)  An individual who appears unattractive to the opposite sex and contains no social skills to mitigate the handicap. Contrarily the "Chump" reveres them self as a superior in all situations without any basis for this status.

6) Predominantly male social outcast
Joe: "How was the bar last night? any luck with the ladies?"

Chad: "Everybody wanted me, but I decided to come home and get the worlds highest score on Call of Duty instead."
Joe:  Dude, you re a Chump
7) A person who is being unnecessarily condescending or disdainful, often because of their own internalized judgmental opinions.

I'd like a new name...for REALZ!

Des Moines in the house

Hi Dudes!

What's up lil fellas?  The kid is back in Davenport and ready for another week of 11000111000111.  Binary ROCKS!

Is it odd that my bicycle weighs more than my car?  I think my car gets better gas millage too.  ...and don't call me Surly.

Speaking of weight...the kid is at 185 L-Bs!  Holla!  As you readers know it took forevs to get from 220 to 200.  The last 15 have come off really quickly.  Look out ladies, pretty soon it will be time to rock out with my gock out.

As that great "Bump N' Grind" song by R KELLY goes: "My mind is telling me no but my body my body's telling me yes I...I don't see nothing wrong with a little chump and grind."

Bix @ 6

Hi Dudes!

Remind me not to make fun of Besser on this blog.  He destroyed the kid...for realz!  We hammered through the Bix route at 7:11 pace.  What is a near death experience?

Bonus - I found an IPod Shuffle.  Biggity Bamm!  Holla!  If you lost your I Pod Shuffle on the Bix route I'm sure it wasnt the same one I found.  Unless you love Barry Manilow, this probably isn't your I Pod.

"Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar
Across the crowded floor, they worked from eight til four
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
At the Copa, (Co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana, (here)
At the Copa, (Co) Copacabana (Copacabana)
Music and passion were always the fashion
At the Copa .... they fell in love"

Okay, for REALZ.  Who can run to this?  Were they out of Frankie Valli or the Carpenters?  And I thought Brooks was a nerd.  He has just been out nerded.  Congrats mystery nerd Bix @ 6 runner.  You don't deserve to have an I Pod Shuffle anyway.  The music Karma God's stole it from you and gave it to me.  I can't wait to load my one word techno beats...oop pst, oop pst, bam.  Maybe a little "Oops I did it again!"?

Doesn't matter what I load...it will rock the hell out of COPA, COPACABANA.  I'd like to buy a vowel please.

What a weekend Forest Chumpmiles. .

Hi Dudes!

"Aint no party like a Run Chump party, cause a Run Chump party doesn't stop."  For REALZ.

Oh man, where to start?  I had such a crazy Chumptastic weekend...it was just sick.  Actually I was just sick.  Sick as in "ill" not "phat".

I ran 9 on Saturday and 10 miles on Sunday.  It felt pretty good.  It would have been a lot better if Besser hadn't run (ran / run?) with me.  Better - Besser...get it?  No?  Yur dumb.

Guess what?  CHUMP is not only my second given name, it is also a computer language.  I know, right.

Below are descriptions of a STUMP (little 16 bit RISC) written in CHUMP.


(isa "STUMP16"  ; STUMP is a simple 16bit processor (C) Andrew Bardsley
                 ; Use this description to learn chump
                 ; This is not a good tutorial but you can get the basics
                 ; Firstly the basics:
                 ; The following is the correct syntax to describe a translation
                 ; (("Disasambled descrption")(Assambled description))
                 ; disassamled description is simply a string or set of strings
                 ; Assembled description is a set of bits I (always on),O (always off),
                 ;      X (dontcare but set as on),Z (dontcare but set as off)
                 ; Be careful, I and O are LETTERS. The parser will complain if it doesnt understand.
                 ; e.g. 1 :   (("R3")(OII)) - matches 011 to "R3"
                 ;                              and "R3" to 011
                 ; e.g. 2 :   (("BR")(OZX)) - matches 000, 001, 010 or 011 to "BR"
                 ;                              and "BR" to 001
                 ; e.g. 3 :   (("PC")(III))


Is there a language called "Chris"?  Yeah, I didn't think so.  I win.

Bix @ 6

Hi Dudes!

The first Bix @ 6 was Thursday.  Me + me sick + 95 degree weather + bix @ 6 +Brady street = deathFor realz!  The kid was struggling.  What is no relief?



I almost didn't run, but it's Bix @ 6 brother.  You gotta run that.  It might be hard to tell, but that is me in the picture.  Rockin it shirtless style cause I am a gangsta.  "G" is for gangsta!

What did I run it in.  Who really knows?  I think I eeked out a 56 minute effort.  Not bad.  Not bad because that is awesome!

What are you looking at?

First of all, I'm not bald, I'm just big foreheaded.  Maybe if I grow my hair out long enough, no one will notice?  Ninth of all you are all haters and jealous.  You need to respect The Chad.


Hi Dudes!  What is up?  Who likes soccer?  Four of you like soccer?  Well four of you are in for a real treat then.  I am going to write the rest of this post in South African.  For Realz!


Oooh, check that.  Turns out English is not the most common language.  Zulu (24 percent speak Zulu at home), followed by Xhosa (18 percent), and Afrikaans (13 percent). English is only the sixth-most common home language in the country.  Boo.


But, here are some common Zulu phrases you can yell at the TV during World Cup -


Cheers/Good health!    =                                Impilontle! Akubekuhle!
Call the police!             =                                Biza amaphoyisa!
This gentleman lady will pay for everything  =  Inenekazi lizokhokha konke
My hovercraft is full of eels   =                        Umkhumbi wami ugcwele ngenyoka zemanzini
I feel sick  =                                                   Ngiyagula.
I need a doctor  =                                          Ngidinga udokotela


Okay, maybe you wouldn't yell that at the TV, but you try and find useful TV / World Cup / funny / Zulu phrases you jerks.


What is no Zulu?!


Okay, back to running.  I came, I ran, I kicked a$$.  That treadmill didn't know what hit it.  But I know.  It was me, and I destroyed that treadmill.  For realz!  Check it out. 


That's right...I ran the tread right off the mill.  How's that taste treadmill.  Who's calling the shots now?

In the 190s


Dam-to-Dam-to-Dam-T-Dam-Ditty-Ditty  A little Kid Rock for you, Dam to Dam style.

So, I'm under 200 pounds still and dropping.  Today I am sitting at 195.  Holla!  It took the kid forevs to get under two bills.  The upsetting thing is that Jillian Michaels says my reasonable weight is between 129 and 163.  129?  Really?  And 163?  Jeesh, that is thins dudes.  Maybe Jillian should weigh 87 pounds.  What a cow.
I'm gonna keep on keeping on.  Because "it is what it is".  BTW, that is favorite expression.  Let's say it again..."it is what it is".  And who can forget that great Lifehouse song..."It is what it is".  But what does "it is what it is" really mean?

A) A phrase that seems to simply state the obvious but actually implies helplessness.


B) A phrase that seems to simply state the obvious but actually means "it will be what it is," as in "it ain't gonna change, so deal with it or don't." See also tough shit, oh well, cry me a river and tfb.

example - I can't believe the price of gas! It is what it is.

example - It troubles me that you continue to put cyanide in my Yoohoo even after I've asked you to stop.  Hmm, it is what it isFor Realz!

What goes Chump in the night?

Hi Dudes!

I like food, I like my couch, I like reebs.  I like Reeba McEntire and Rees Davis.

I just don't like running right now.

header_img.jpg (469×184)

Hate is a strong word, and my daddy always said, "you have to first love something, to hate it."  Oh Daddy.  Why don't you get your lazy ass up and go for a run?  Let's see who hates what now.

Breathe.  The kid is getting mad again.  I am going to go punch your mom in the face.

Sweet Couch

Hi dudes!

The kid is in a brutal battle with the couch and motivation.  Right now it's couch 2, the kid 0.  On top of that American Idol is on tonight, so is Hoarders, MythBusters, Dog the Bounty Hunter, and Ugly Betty.

How can I run when all these great shows are on?

What gibs?

Motivation is the activation or energization of goal-oriented behavior. Motivation is said to be intrinsic or extrinsic. The term is generally used for humans but, theoretically, it can also be used to describe the causes for animal behavior as well.

What?

Hi dudes!

Chris and I have been going back and forth arguing about who is a better writer.  The answer is clear - I am smarter, better looking, and funnier than Chris.  Soooo, obviously I am a better writer.    I wrote in Canadian.  Can Chris say that?  He should give up blogging.  What is no talent?

Should I buy a mobile home?  Maybe.

I did a little personal Bix @ 6 this weekend.  Don't even get me started on the meaning of Bix @ 6.  If you want to piss me off, trying showing up for Bix @ 6 at 5:30.  Can you sat Zero-to-Chad?

Mmmm.  The kid likes Miley Cyrus, for REALZ.

Canada

Hi Dudes!

I am going to write this entire blog entry in Canadian.  Sounds good now eh?  Sury if this is hard to read.  Just trying to help people learn another language.

My phone is still broke, I am still broke.  I did drop a few Looonies on a delicious Double-Double.

I really wanted to stay on the old Chesterfield this morning, but I laced up the Runners, and went for a nice 7 miles.  It was a bit of a Give 'er, but I did okay.

Enough of that.  Canada sucks.

Have a good night convicts, hope those darn Mounties don't get ya eh.

That is code for Hello.



Thank you dialing in to my blog today.  Um, do you dial in to a blog, or log in to a blog?  I suppose if you use your cellular telephone it could be both?


These are the questions that plague our society today.  By "our" I mean "me".


I am fixing my I Phone tonight because I am a nerd and because it hasn't worked in 4 days.  That's right, I can fix an I Phone.  


How does that taste bitches?  D-Licious 


Chad-Licious style.


This is a running blog right?  Here it is - I ran good today and felt good today.  4 miles never looked so sexy.

Bloody Sunday

Hi Dudes!


I just got done watching "Minute to Win it".  Lame.  What is no fans?  I should have watched "House Hunters".  I should have punched myself in the face.  I should have punched your mom in the face...again.


BAMM!


I ran today.  Thats right, biatch.  How far?  How fast?  


Don't worry about it.  I ran.


Damian, Dave, and I went out last night for bit.  Good times, cold reebs, early night.

Happy St Paddy's Day (kind of)

Hi Dudes!


Today is an off day, and I take my off days very seriously.  Never miss an off day.  I ran three days in a row and felt good.  Holla!


Plan your work...work you plan.  I have a training schedule mapped out that is rather brilliant.  It involves running.  What? Crazy.


I was going to go to Ames on Friday, but did not.  Andy and I hung out Thursday night.  We did some speed chatting.  I don't recommend it.  Let's see...had some wams, some reebs, and it's time for the weekend.  Bamm!


Well, Campian just came over.  It's go time,


Later bitches!

Back to Back

Hi Dudes!


I am running / jogging as this blog post is being written...literally.  Today is the second day to the new old Chad.  Yesterday I rocked 9:48s for 4.2 miles and felt good.


I drove my tiny inflatable automobile to the gymnasium while blogging on my Apple cellular telephone.  Technology rocks...and so do I.

Today at work I programmed some pretty cool stuff.  I can't really get in to it, but let's just say that the US Treasury Department is pretty jealous of the amazing things we are doing at Quad City Bank and Trust.  Real cutting edge.  Here is a glimpse into what I do;

- sprite behavior to follow cursor horizontally
on exitFrame me
  sprite(me.spriteNum).locH = the mouseH
end 



I just need to perform a core dump, cannofy the process, and blammo.


I know...wow!

Please note that I am not a real Chump, I just play one on this blog.  These thoughts are not necessarily those of the Chad Wisham.  They are most likely too advanced for him.  Please feel free to give Chad full credit though.

Well goood evening blog heads.  Today is the first day of the rest of my running life.  You heard me right.


The Kid is back and ready to role....tootsie roll...let me see your toots...um no, don't.


I had a good workout today and my dear friend Chris Brooks is the greatest motivator of all time.  I owe him more than I can ever repay.  for realz


I signed up for the Nashville Marathon today.  Well, I signed up for the Hama today.  It is on like Donkey Kong smokin a bong.


That's it for today.  Re-read this gem as often as you like and soak all of my greatness in.
