Man, been jumping up and down all day looking forward to heading out tomorrow. Trying now to see what i can trim off my pack weight. I'll be sure post pics when i return.

Got up this morning and did a ride before going to church here pretty quick. Definatly was awesome, minus the couple of crashes that didn't feel so good. During the ride it Got me thinking , I really don't pray enough which kinda filters in to how much I let God into my live and him controling it, not me. If any of all ya'll see me on a regular basis, ask me how I've been prayin to keep me on me toes.

Went riding with the shop ride today in Calumet. I need to get faster just so I don't get covered in dust and dirt (pretty scary looking after I got done). It was also fun to go in to the Michigan house resturant totaly fithy.

looks like we're going to pasty fest tomorrow. Yes a day to celebrate the fine poor man's dish known as a pasty. I even saw a life size walking pasty today. Should be interesting and then off to more biking.

So I went out mountain biking today and realized that I'm really quite gutless on the trail nowadays. I won't hit stuff I used to. Don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I wanta do my log rides and jump courses again dang it! But I do wanta get out of this summer without any serious injuries to me or my bike.

So I've now come up with a couple goals to expand my bravery.
A)To actually hit a deer while riding the trails on my mountain bike. Not hard enough to actually hurt it or me, but a little daised is ok. Plus if I kill it you cannot nessesarily put around a 100 pounds of road kill on your back and bike it home.

B)to get a speeding ticket on a road bike. At least in a 35 zone perferably in a 45 zone while passing cars. Quincy hill might remedy that one.

thoughts of the night.
goodnight all!

Thought I'd actally start LJing again. Its been over a semester since I have updated, but thoguht it would be good for me to write more of my stuff down and see what other folks think of me life.

Life has been good, pretty easy goin summer though. I don't know if I like that so much. Have been thinking a lot of ASP because there I was working 24/7 with a day off every other week. So needless to say, I've been doing a heck of a lot more moutain biking and other recreational stuff as well as seeing Sarah more.

Speaking of, we had a really awesome weekend togather, along with my fam at the cabin in Naubinway. I think relations between both those parties are getting better too. We got to do a lot of talking and relaxing togather, and I got to fish, what more can you ask for.

So my main thought of the day is that I think wanta definatly plan for my Isle Royale trip for July 13 through the 17. I wanta get some personal R&R in and time to myself to think a bit. Not so much that I object to others comming with me, but I'm not sure too many people would be able to or wanta spend that time off. Got me thinking today to. Was at blue house and felt a little out cause a bunch of guys from there where planing a big backpacking trip too and it seems like they have deep friendship roots in blue house. I knew all of em but I guess I put feet half into water with Grace and IV leaving space for half friendships. I don't intend it to happen, but I guess I let it. I kinda feel a bit bad for that and for being pretty grumpy lately I guess.

Anyways, just some thoughts of the night and update on how life is goin I guess.

yeah, for the most part i was in a very good mood for my b-day. My cell phone battery almost died today with folks wishin me a happy birthday. Today at lunch i went to daily prayer meeting with the IV bunch. It was swell, i got treated to lunch in wads and got sang to but after that it was just back to class and schoolwork. then to be flooded with birthday wishes on facebook, which were awesome. when i got home i laid down for a nap and woke up 4 hours latter at 11:11 by Sarah. So pretty uneventful wish i would have stayed awake and done something. maybe atleast treat myself to dinner somewhere, but no one was around anyways and me just by myself at a restaurant is no fun.

awesome quote of the day, one that makes you think:

"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them"
- Henry David Thoreau

probably should head to bed. Leaving for New Orleans in the morning!

its been snowing a lot up here, started yesterday night and is still commin. I LOVE MY TRUCK! got stuck once, no problem, just put it in 4x4 and she goes great. then watch others slide around and jump out to push em up the hill.

Speaking of other things that are freakin awesome.

so i got an email from my advisor about me requesting to overload my schedule to 19 credits. and i quote "Wow, you're a glutton for punishment! " so yeah i'm kinda scared. in other news, i went and saw sarah in marquette. we went to munising and to Pictured rocks around there hiking. It was a lot of fun, time with her and hiking. further inspired me to see if i can find a job on isle royale this summer. On the filp side of the weekend, my brother was in a accident with my old car. he's ok, but he fell asleep at the wheel after an all nighter and hit some mailboxes inbeded in the ground with metal posts that messed up the front of the car good. but like i said, he's alright so that's all that matters. here's some pics( here's some pics! )
