off the beaten path. imbibing the new sights for pleasure. 

Sometimes routine gets very boring. It is routine, after all. I cannot do this. I have a hard time with repetitive actions simply for the sake of said repetitive action. I need a little meaning. A little discovery. I have found it to be of tremendous personal value just to leave the beaten path, or my usual set courses, and just....go....some fucking where. New sights, new sounds, new pavement, new dirt.

It's a bit like running through the back alleys and recesses of one's own mind, if I think about it.

Anyway, I took a turn off of my usual path today and found some cool new sights, new inspiration, and some new reflections. After three miles I stopped, and decided to film some things on my walk back, to use in an impromptu music video of sorts for an impromptu song I've recently written. I'd like to share that vid with you guys today.

Here it is:

"Halloween (don't change a thing)" - Music video and original song from an exploratory run.

Well, guys, I suppose that is about it for me today. I'll be finding out the lottery results for the Tokyo Marathon tomorrow, so keep your fingers crossed for me!

Peace!
