Shoe covers





Life of a bum

In the life of a bum, one who spends money that is, you must jump at every convienient chance to make a little money. One must also posess the skills of a crafty businessman and haggler.

Slept until 11 (after going to sleep at 2:30), when i was woken by my father.
Him- "Are you still sleeping?"
I- "NO"(note the sarcasm and fasicious tone)
Him- "Are you going to sleep all day? Or are you going to wake up?"
Me- *rolls over, no answer*
Him- "I need your help. I have to unload 40 bags of dogfood."
Me- "40??"(note the WTF tone)
Him- "Yeah, 40."
Me- "Why the hell-----ugh"
Him- *walks up the stairs again*
Me- "aw shit" *rolls out of bed after a minute and dons pajama pants, t-shirt, shoes, and carhart jacket*

Then I decided to ride, I get all suited up and he yells down the stairs.
Him- "Can you pick me up in a few minutes?"
Me- "Uhhhhhh......ummmmmmmm.......i guess."
Him- "take my truck, its warmed up"
Me- "What is up with this today?"*removes shoe covers and shoes slips on boots and leaves*

Eventually I got to ride. Stopped at the coolest person in the worlds house on the way home. Made it back in time to see my grandparents before they left, late lunch. I got to eat my first meal of the day at that point, 3:30, boo yah. sometimes i have those nice days when im not hungry, at all. My shoe covers are totally pimp. Ugly and warm, just the way I like them.

Then came my moment of being a bum. My sister is a whimp, and won't wash her car. So I got to wash her car, and pull out an entire bag of fast food garbage form the inside. Made 13.20. Not bad for limited work. Gotta get it where I can. Really didn't want to do it though, so I don't feel bad about taking her money.

Put the bike rack on today. I only have one tray. plus I worked on fabricating an adaptor for my scalpel.

Ummm.....anyone want to enter a 6 hour endurance race on lemond rev-masters? $200 or 50% cash payout to the top 5. Let me know. I'm trying to make this event a go.

Whitey can't dance

Tonight was fun. I will say ,however, washing, waxing, and a furthermore thorough cleaning of my car was pointless and unnecessary. I had a really good time, despite expecting not to. I'll let the picture do the talking. Oh, and it was winterball.



I didn't ride today, i was just thoroughly beat. Tomorrow I will ride a bunch, I hope. I made new shoe covers too. I cut up an old pair of my neoprene waders, and sewed them up with fishing line. I'm sick of this weather. it is very lame.

Sweat Shop 23

Today....OHHHH....todaY. 2 hour delay. snow did lay. No tooth decay. I didn't play. No way. Can you belay?


yeah 2 hour delay. got up anyway, finished my essay, but HAH! i made a funny, i left it on the printer. So i decided not to race back to my house then school again in 8 minutes. 8 o'clock: took my car to get a new tire, and got breakfast at Fays while i waited, with mi mum. then went shopping for an hour or so. I'm not sure what is with all the shopping I've been doing lately, but it's about time, I don't have many nice clothes. now i do. rode a bit. did some stuff. got a life insurance policy. yes, life insurance. whatever.

Random Thoughts

I feel that i must appologize for my choice in attire saturday evening. I didn't realize it was actually that formal, I thought it was casual formal. My bad. Heidi sure didnt let me forget it. Thanks for making fun of me all night. But that is how we roll, me and her. I say something dumb and she makes fun of me(not always) but for some reason I always feel dumb when I'm around her. Marc rocks the tuxedo very nicely.
A little something none of you knew.....My parents and I arrived at 4:30, right as the meetings were still going on. You may know, and if you didn't you now do, that my parents and I don't sit very easily on the topic of my racing and the freedoms and support i get and don't and how we all mesh with the whole situation. They sit across from me, and for lack of better terms insult me, mumbling to each other about me. I can only hear enough to make out that it wasn't a very nice conversation. Enough for me, I decide to walk around Manayunk. Just stood up and walked out. Walked around Manayunk for awhile. Found cadence where mike works, and saw a bunch of nice little shops, including a tibetan boutique. I shoudl have gone in. Maybe I'll go back for the hill climb, it's not very difficult to get there. I finally decided to go back, and bless Tom, he was sitting with my parents talking to them. Having him there eased alot of things, let me skirt around the issues, actually just plain avoid them.

High school

Hishschool does absolutely no prep for the world of reality. None at all. They think they do, but they don't. Really. Graduation project. It's supposed to take the position of some type of project you would encounter in business or something. In my case I used my race. I was doing it anyway, so I figured I'd make use of it as my grad project. Now this would be like a presentation or proposal for a reall business proposal, or any type of business type meeting. I did no prep. Slept in the morning of, gave it an honest minute of work. I was up till about 1:30 that morning doing something.....can't really remember. made notes on cards and a power point. threw my bike in the car and went to present. Worst speech I've ever made, I wouldn't have passed myself. And I did pass. What are schools doing nowadays? Were they always like this? It's a shame what they teach us nowdays?

Finding someone to better yourself

Have you ever met somebody who totally makes you into a better person? I have issues. Thats a give in, enough so that I won't get into that. But when I do things that go against my grain, things I want to do but can't make myself do for myself, when i do that for somebody else, thats saying something. Its that extra drive to be a better, more complete person. How often do you find that? I think thats really special, but hey, thats just me.

hmmmmm.......what are you doing?

ALAS

One they haven't found! *Evil Laughter ensues*
