Lost in Boston

Yesterday, me and my friend attempted to get to a well known building in Boston known as the Pru. Not only did we easily get lost but soon we found ourselves at a stop along the Silver line (for anyone that does not know the T system in Boston, we started near the Fenway stop on the green line and somehow got to 4 stops down the silver line---this is quite a distance.)
Although for a good two hours we were completely lost and had no idea where we were going it was semi-warm out and I had remembered to put my camera in my bag, so many pictures were taken. We passed numerous small little bag dogs that sadly were subjected to wearing the puppy sweaters and sparkly collars and I couldn't help but feel sorry for them.

We eventually made it to Newbury street and from there we were able to make our way to a near by T stop because at this point it was freeeeezing and the wind was starting to tunnel down the streets, making my hood useless as it kept blowing off.
Overall, getting lost was a good thing, it was a nice day out (for a while) and I was able to take quite a few pictures that I had not been able to do for a while. People should try and get lost once in a while...it can turn into quite the adventure

Run!

So, today me and my roommate felt like being healthy college students and try to postpone the inevitable the freshmen 15 so we went for a "nice jog." This "nice jog" quickly turned into a lung heaving, leg burning, nose running, FREEZING death run. We forgot to take into account the fact that neither of us had worked out on a normal basis for lets just say...a while. We were both so tired that by the time we even made it to the track we were ready to do a quick ab workout and call it a day.
We passed many interesting characters on out short run of death, a few dog walkers with the cute little chihuahuas, and pugs, and came close a few times to wiping out on the snow covered trail. Nevertheless, by the time we got our dead bodies back to out dorm room we felt pretty good about ourselves (except for the sore lungs and dead legs.) We had somehow motivated ourselves to get out of our normal day to day routine of coming back to our room and going directly on our laptops for the rest of the night.
Hopefully, this motivation will continue on for the rest of the semester. Note to my few followers, when you have nothing else to do (even though you might tell yourself you're busy) get out in the cold and go for a run. You might hate yourself once you start running and realize that you are more out of shape than you realized, but you and your body will thank you for it later.

Here's a random picture to stick with my theme...this was taken last winter in NY

Homeless Man

So here's the deal...

I'm walking down the street and I see this homeless man pushing a shopping cart wearing as many layers as he can possible fit on himself, as the wind tunnels down Fenway. Regardless of the wipping wind in my face the sun is shining and the sky is blue. I know that the angle I am at would make an amazing picture to capture this man pushing his possessions down the mangled sidewalk...if only I had my camera!

How many times have I wanted to take a picture and not had my camera on me? It's sad because every time I see what could be an excellent picture my crappy 10 megapixel camera is not in my bag. So...from now on I am going to carry my camera with me, maybe not every second, but more so than I am now. So when I see this homeless man again, I will be ready.
