Damn, tonite I've come to the realization that I really enjoy drinking and being social. I just went out to the local pubs by myself, and it is amazing how cool everyone is, especially when you're whoopin ass at barroom pool. :) -Yes, I am very modest.- I'm having a great time this summer, so anyone who wants to go out and have fun, let me know ( Read more... )

Welp it's debate time. I was just told not to drive a manual transmission for ANOTHER 6 weeks. This is despite that I'm well ahead of the average in range of motion and strength. I'm pretty irked about that because summer is drifting season and my racecar is finally getting a moveon by Frank at Racetune. Nuts. On a brighter note, my business ( Read more... )

Wow, so I haven't posted in awhile. I suppose the only time I ever write in these things is when either something of note occurs or when I'm in that limbo interval between when I've been drinking and when I'm tired enough to crawl into bed. Tonight, as usual, I'm in the latter category. I've decided to put on some Green Day -yes, I know they're ( Read more... )

"So back to the part that I was gonna write for Brad. On the car ride back we talked about girls and the dating game. This was struck up when we saw a couple in each others arms on the corner while we passed them in the car. Brad started laughing and starting going through the motions on his thoughts on women. This then push Sean to sit there and ( Read more... )

This summer has started out pretty well for me. I'm four weeks post-op, and though my left leg has shrunk from the atrophy, I still have retained a good deal of strength. I now have the brace off, hopefully permenantly, and am walking pseudo-normally. I gained 25 degrees of motion when allowed to bend my leg as far as possible, and have 115 out ( Read more... )

I came to realize something over a lunch convo with my brother today. Sometimes tough isn't enough. You need to be careful out there, and take adequate precautions before athletic activity. I played my last game of football on April 10th. -My 5th anniversary of the dislocated shoulder, and my mom's b-day. Sorry mom.- I intend to take this ( Read more... )

Tonight I sit here at my computer. For much of the evening, a curious sensation has burdened me, and until now I haven't been able to pinpoint it. It was not a sentiment of pure sadness, or relief, or anxiety, or even curiosity, but rather an amalgam of them. It was the simple recognition of finality which I've been ruminating on. Life is a ( Read more... )

Forgive the title, I just happen to love Eddie Money. Yes, I am an 80's child thank you very much. I went under for the knee reconstruction on Wednesday and am pleased to report that everything is progressing according to schedule. Point of note: anesthesia sucks big time. -nausea and lots of it- Aside from that unpleasant setback, things have ( Read more... )

Anybody ever notice how livejournals are usually depressing? Damn, it seems to be really common. Except Gabi's whimsical rants about "whatever flips your pancake" -a nice breath of fresh air ;)- livejournal does provide a nice insight into the trials and tribulations of lots of different people. I admit that I do emit the occasional... well, ( Read more... )
