If it weren't for distraction, what would my life look like? Books, booze, starving, motorcycles, bicycles. I have gone through those except the last two. Actually, except for drinking, I dabble in all of those to a greater or lesser degree. What next? Does this end, or is this what life really is like for everyone? Thirty or forty more years of ( Read more... )

That's right, I ate an apple from my fridge, and I didn't even rinse it off!

Ha, I spit at the face of death!!! P'too!!!

Most times I'm fairly even-keeled, neurosis aside. What I mean by that is most days pass by quietly without great joy or great aggravation. There's very littl edrama in my life, and I'm thankful for that. Each day has its little pleasures, its quiet satisfactions, its confusions, and some minor irritants. I find that when I'm off-center, that's ( Read more... )

I am almost halfway through my second semester of senior year at St. Joesph's University. I have a midterm tomorrow and I haven't done a damn thing to get ready for it even though i really enjoy the class. My post-modern literature course is frustrating because I just can't wrap my head around Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury or Woolf's Mrs. ( Read more... )

Well, since my last update regarding my health and my first bicycle race, I was asked to join a single-speed cyclocross team after they heard about my roadrace results.
