Eat, sleep, build circuits, and blog. Thats all I ever do. I am seriously considering unplugging after this weekend. By unplug I mean, literally unplug my computer and not be online except when its necessary for school for like an entire week. Its getting to be a problem how much I sit at this stupid computer and waste my life. Anyway, thats my random editorial.

Not much excitement. Although I do have one good story. I was getting out of my symphony class and going to eat when I ran into Todd. He insisted that I sit down on this bench and have a cigarette with him. It was right across the street from Sbisa, so I obliged. We hadn't been there 2 minutes when this total hippy on a skateboard eats pavement right in front of us. He fell forward and his flip flops fell off and stuff. It was really entertaining. So me and Todd agreed that was probably the funniest thing we'd seen all day. As if that wasn't enough, probably like 60 seconds later, I turn to see this girl completely flip upside down on her bike. This guy that was walking by and saw the whole thing caught my eye and all 3 of us lost it and just busted out laughing crazy style. He said that she'd tried to jump down the curb and turned her wheel sideways before she landed and then just flipped upside down. It was REALLY funny. So that made my fucking day. I love taking pleasure in the embarassment of other.

So back to my symphony class. We finally got our real professor back. He was off in Rio de Jenero (or however you spell that) conducting an orchestra for the first 3 weeks of class and we had this total loser teaching us. But our prof is back and he's a badass. I really like him. He has this cool hispanic-type accent, and he memorized almost everyone's name on the first day. Needless to say, that class is no enjoyable and I feel like I'm learning something. And if I'm not learning anything, then I'm enjoying being told something I already know. So now I won't be skipping that class anymore like I was for a while there. So thats good news. No worries about failing a gimme now.

Ehhh, thats really all thats goin on. You'd thing someone with a life as boring as mine wouldn't even bother having a blog, but .... you'd be wrong. If you've got a good bike accident story or something along those lines, go ahead and drop a note and let everyone else know. Talk amongst yourselves. Thanks and gig this.

one of my fondest memories growing up was when my neighbor at the time rode her bicycle straight into a cement incased enclosure. i was about 11 or 12 at the time and she was about 9. i believe she was just learning to ride a bike in the not-so-smooth ally in front of my house. she could balance ok, but turning was a whole different matter. so when the ally gave way to undergrowth and gnarled tree roots it steered her directly at this 6 foot high, 5×5 cement hole on the side of my neighbors house. it was there next to the basement window so people could look out or open the window i guess. anyway, instead of steering away or falling into the grass, she held on tight and screamed at the top of her lungs and she went head first into the hole, bike and all. the best part was when me and my brother went to checkout the aftermath and we looked down and saw her lying at the bottom with the bike laying sideways on top of her pinning her down… it was one of the funniest things ive ever seen. and i will remember it always.

when people fall down, I can’t help but laugh. A few years ago i had a tues/thurs class in harrington. this one tuesday, this girl is coming out of harrington, gets on her bike, starts talking on a cell phone and plows into one of those big cement trash cans. same girl on thursday come out of harrington, gets on the bike, starts talking on the phone again, only this time runs into a curb and breaks the cell phone. I though it was a message from god to either hang up, or ditch the bike.

I fell of my bike when I was little and I hit my head on the curb. I was out for 2-3 hours and no one was around cause it was july 4th weekend during football. They never figured out if I had drain bamage.

I love the exchange of bike wreck stories that is going on here. Thus, I feel I must share a story from my freshman year. Stinky and I were smoking a cigarette on the front steps of Moore Hall. Many exciting and funny things occured on those steps over the course of a year, but this was one of the funniest. As I remember, it was around dusk, and so the natural light was very dim yet the street lamps had not come on yet. All of the sudden, this guy comes flying around the corner b/w Moore and D.G. on one of those Lance Armstrong type racing bikes. He was aiming to go in between the bike racks, off the curb, and out into the parking lot, at least thats what I assume. As he went barreling through the rows of bike racks, he caught the very very end of a rack, the part that sticks out past the last parked bike. He shoots head first over his handle bars and literally past the curb, into the parking lot. In the meantime his bike lays mangled, with the front rim now turned into some triangular looking shape. I’m sure it hurt really bad, both physically and emotionally, as Stinky and I sat laughing at him while he walked back to recover his broken cycle.

Related story. I was crossing over Welborn today to go to the rec for my archery class. As soon as the WALK sign came on, large groups of people walk toward each other. This one little girl comes barrelling into the midst of the oncomers on her bike like full speed. She goes directly into this guy who has to grab her handlebars and run a few steps backward as she frantically applied the breaks. Now, you all know how much I hate racism or stereotyping, so I hate to say this but … I’ll give you two guesses as to this girl’s ethnicity.

hahahaha

I’m not looking forward to a blog on witnessing a car wreck.

its not like her ethnicity even matters, as long as she’s a female she’s going to have no coordination whatsoever. according to a recent study 78% of all car accidents are caused by females, while 12% are caused by males. the reason the percentages dont add up to 100%?, because a woman did the study.

Which makes you wonder why insurance rates are extrememly higher for guys than they are for girls. Sheeeiiiit.
