getting back in the saddle

it's been two weeks so far of training, and getting back in the saddle, from only 100 miles this summer to 200 a week, it's been kinda rough and plus the move in, but you know it's good for me. Lost most of the summer weight, most being the key word and planning on what I'm going to do with my life during school. Some times I wish that it would just end sooner than later and these next two semesters are going to kick my butt. Yet it's still not as bad as it could be so I'm not going to complain, it's senior year, 1st year on the cycling club, and road racing doesn't start until the spring. So here's to training, here's to friends, and most of all here's to all the seniors at clemson, hurah and let's get it through this

#6 most obnoixous team (by fox sports)

#6

Clemson

Do you get the feeling that Clemson fans feel they belong in the SEC and tend to over-compensate for it? They call their stadium Death Valley and chant "Tiger bait" at visiting teams, but honestly, what have they done in the last 10 years? A golf championship in 2003? ("Spin that wedge! Sink that putt!") These SEC-wannabe fans are downright delusional. - Lisa Horne

I really don't know what to think, I mean, when was the last time your heard tiger bait, please I beg you tell me, poor showing fox sports, poor showing

the bike store secrets

There are a few secrets that the bike store doesn't like to announce to much
1. the new location sucks
2.you can make appointments and just drop the dang thing off
3. it takes an hour from riding your bike to the cyclery then walking to lowry
4.the old location would have taken 20 mins
5.There promoting your to drive your bike to there store, not ride
6. the clemson police probably hated the old location (1000 dollar fine for riding on the sidewalks
7.the people there are always nice
8.ask for a deal, they'll find you one
9.there's a used parts box above you, I bet you didn't know that
10.Mondays & fridays at 6, there's a local beginners bike ride

and a 2006 namatu mtb
yea for not having the 2007 denalli xxl and finally getting my last pay check of the summer

modeling actions

if you wanted to know having a either extremely badly jammed finger or broken finger makes it hard to do much typing, writing, ok basically anything. So here it goes. As the week slowly begins anew, and I start this last round of crazy made up exams that the teachers seem to think are threatening. I start to ponder the importance in this all. With getting emails about blocking your facebook so employers can't see. The thought of staying up here at Clemson for the summer and all this entails. I seem to be strangely complacent about everything that is coming up in the very near future. It seems like how, jackson one of our pastors sons at DCF decided today that as soon as his mom left that he wanted his snack and juice. Now I gave him a little bit of it, and saved the rest for towards the end of the service but he knew exactly what he wanted. Yet if I took away from him he found something else to entertain him, if you asked him not to get out something he was quick to put it back, and wanted more than anything to help clean up. His face lit up when a pop-up Frisbee was given to him folded and he got to pull it apart. This idea of being completely complacent with the moment you at, and being exuberant when something delights you, I've decided that is how I need to model my life after a 2 maybe 3 year old that I kept in the nursery this morning, that still brings a smile to my face. Also it basically helps me keep my mind off of the idea of what in the world am I going to do about rooming next year since robbie decided that he is leaving Clemson and going back to upstate
