I have always thought blogging a mildly pointless pasttime. Unless the blog is themed. Themed blogs are exempt. I just tend to stay away from 'life blogs'. The need to share my intimate thoughts about people in my life died somewhere around age 17.
That being said, tonight I inexplicably decided I wanted to start a blog. And I have no theme. Go figure, we are all hypocrites.
Most of these posts will consist of my daily movement documentation. See below.
1. bike to work, roundtrip 8.3 miles.
A note about biking to work in LA - when leaving for work, one should really consider changes in light over the course of the day. I wore all black to work today. And forgot my bike light. The return trip at 5:15 PM after sunset in rush hour traffic was probably not something my mother would have enjoyed watching me do.
2. run, roundtrip six long LA blocks (or 2.87 m, according to walkjogrun.net)
A note about running. I want to hate it. I have hated running for so long that I almost feel an obligation to hate it. But once in awhile I catch myself wanting to go on a run. I am very disappointed in myself.
About Me
- justdusty.rakm'ubak
- Born and raised in Seattle, Washington where I learned to love tea and rain and evergreen trees. Found a love for Judaism in NFTY after a slight push from Rabbi Michael Latz, set my sights on becoming a rabbi at age 16 and have been moving toward that goal ever since. Moved to sunny southern California for college and graduated from UC Santa Barbara in 2008 with a BA in Religious Studies. During my undergraduate years, I fell in love with cycling, spent a year in Dublin Ireland (and worked as a Starbucks barista!) and wrote my undergraduate thesis on JUBUs (Jewish Buddhists). After college I had the privilege of serving NFTY SOCAL's phenomenal teens as their regional advisor for two years before enrolling at Hebrew Union College's School of Rabbinic Studies.
