Madonna has collapsed!!! Hopefully I can make it back there to conquer it someday before it is all gone.

As I sit here anxiously watching the clock for the weekend I am dreaming. Maybe just not of there but anywhere but here. I would like to spend the weekend with you and just have something differnt to look at. That is life though and the decision I have made. It isn't all that bad.

I am presently reading this, and I think that is where my main source of longing for something different is coming from. Check your local libraries and see if they have a copy available.

Have a wonderful weekend and why can't we all just get along? How about us doing this to their kids while we drive through the neighborhoods.

Riding By

Where did Levi come from today? I bet Floyd and Denis were like this motorcycle rider from last year saying, Where did that guy come from? Has he been bluffing so far, regardless he has already lost to much time. We have Denis and Floyd but who will be there to take the third step?

Well one more day before we reach the moments that we have been thinking of all week. Mine has yet to be decided but anything will be better than work. I will definitely be hitting the trails on the mtb and hopefully taking a hike.

I need something new in my life. I am not sure if it is just my job or my present locale. I am almost at 2 years since I got out, and sitting here thinking what do I want to do with my life....?
More to follow on that as I recall the 5 years I spent in the midwest and Europe.

I often wonder how people can be so stupid. Then I see more things like this and I just have to laugh for some reason. I guess it should not phase me after living amongst europeans for 2 1/2 years.

Always do the "right" thing but keep doing this..... Ciao Ciao

Humpty Day

Happy Wednesday everyone! Also Happy Birthday to Lindsay. Hope she had a good one.

I am thinking of something to put in here that does not seem to boring but am having a hard time of doing so. Ugghhhh. I talked to "Rusty" (as he put it) last night and he is doing well and glad to be back home in the good ol' miss. Hopefully he is able to land something soon besides a bass or catfish in the lake behind his home. haha. I am hoping that I can make it out that way soon, but will have to see what happens first.

Also talked with Juan & Marie today and they are gearing up for a fun weekend. Good luck to them, including Brandon, Tom and Heather. Wish I was still there so that I could be along for the ride. Oh well at least I will make it back later this year to do some other biking.

Speaking of riding, Good for her that she has decided to do more of it. She will definitely benefit more from it. Maybe she won't have to work the night job anymore, haha.

Also talked to Shawn before he boarded the plane for Deutschland. He is supposed to arrive there tomorrow about midday. Hopefully he can get some rest before racing on friday. Good luck to him and the rest of the team.

Anyways you all have yourselves a wonderful evening and I will ramble some more. Ciao

Unauthorized Page

Happy tuesday. How was yours? Mine was so boring, I had my tasks done before 8:30 and could not seem to come across any more. Also on top of that, the flippin' IT people continue to block more sites from me on a daily basis. I mean why do you block sites like this and what is wrong with this guy? I mean it is bad enough that I cannot read Shawn's page when I wish.

Speaking of Shawn and his recent post, he needs to quit being a B and stick with the advice that anonymous left. Hang in there man, nothing lasts forever, so make the most of now. I will always be there cheering you on and so will your family.

Hopefully they do not block all my favorites, because I do not know what I would do without my daily of her, even if she sometimes does not get up in the morning to post something new but rather sleeps in. I mean I am not trying to look at porn. Well sometimes bike porn like this, JK, but c'mon!! Anyways if I do look at porn, it is only because I read the articles....

Have a good evening and stop by his site and check out his post for 7-10. Once again the Dr. throws a wrench into things. Or is he just talking......

Straw

I guess I didn't have to wait to make my decision but it became clear today. Yes, I received that last piece of straw that broke the camel's back.

Today I was busy staring at my flippin' screen when the secretary walked in. She had my time card from last week in her hand and then asks if I had worked last tuesday. I said no, that was the 4th. She then goes on by saying that I do not get paid for holidays since I am not truly employed by the company. I understand that but think about it, it is a bunch of crap!

After returning from my hiatus in Seattle they told me that if I worked for one month as a temp they would hire me on. That was early February and here I am like an idiot waiting, and for what...? I have been back for 6 months and have not gotten anywhere with these guys. So just as they don't care, I have quit caring. It's quite humorous how they can send me to Phoenix 3 times for training. Also to Milwaukee and forward me money on my trips. Yet have difficulty or not wanting to bring me on permanently. They have given me a cell phone to "use as my own" and also a key to the place. I may use any of the tools or packaging materials. C'mon now, this totally is not making sense.

Well I am not exactly sure how much longer I will lead them on but it is constantly on my mind. I smile about the day that I show up and say, "Take this job and shove it, I ain't workin' here no more".

Happy Monday and hope your week is better than mine.

Right Now

Here I sit while trying to enjoy today. I am enjoying not really doing anything but there is part of me that is ready for some event or adventure. I am really wanting to go see the new Pirates of the Carribean movie, but I am not the only one. It is showing on several screens but that draws several more people. I will try again later in the week, but will honestly have to wait for next week or something.

Tomorrow it is back to the job and the fun I have staring at a screen all day. I am getting really bored and sick of my job. I am really starting to contemplate being a full time student and just working part time. I have to get caught up on some bills first, but I do see being a student taking priority. I am not getting any younger and I only have 8 years left on my GI Bill. Let me know what you think. Thanks for reading and talk to you soon.

How did that happen?

Hey there I am truly sorry that it has been over a week already since I put anything here.... It makes it look like some other pages that don't get updated too often. I guess it really does not matter since I do not have a fan base like them.

Anyways, I went camping on monday for the 4th. I love the mountains!!! Hung out in Silverton most of tuesday and watched the spectacular fireworks show they put on. I tell you nothing beats fireworks in the mountains! The only down part of the trip was not getting home until 12:30 that night and having to be at work at 7 on wednesday.

I survived the week and am happy it is over. Today I met up with Chris at 5 am, and then it was off to the moutains again. The clouds and rain have been looming the past few days but we wanted a chance to conquer. We were on the trail by 8:30, and came across some great abandoned mines. It is amazing to see the machinery that was hauled up there way back in the day. We climbed for 2 hrs before we decided that we needed to head back down before the visibility was worse then the 20 feet or so we were at. We made it back to the truck with only minimal showers and huge smiles.

We are hoping the weather is better next weekend, so that we may be able to summit what we start. Once again I am truly sorry for it being so long. I am really keeping my eyes open for inspiration and will not let this happen again. Thanks to Maigh for helping me through the week with her daily's and just being the great writer she is.

Talk to you guys tomorrow, hope your weekends are all great.
