First Day of Spring

Thinking that groundhog day just doesn't cut anymore (why did it ever)? ITS A GROUNDHOG. Well I declare this the first day of spring for some slightly (just slightly) more intelligent reasons:

1) I rode to school in shorts
2) I rode to school
3) There were birds flying north
4) I had exposed legs on my 90min recovery ride
5) It is impossible to walk anywhere without getting soaked
6) It is about effing time

All of that and more made it a super wonderful day. I talked to my girlfriend for a while (outside) after school and that is going really well too. I'm sure she wouldn't want me saying it, but she is absolutely amazing. Mushy mushy lovey dovey. This daylight savings time thing rocks. I'm off to go have some tea OUTSIDE. Go do something.

Any of you mercy guys know when the clothes are coming in? I've been forced to ride naked all winter

Weekend

I actually did stuff this weekend. I laughed! I cried! I lost 15 pounds! So for those of you (none of you) who think all teenagers do is sex, drugs, and rock and roll, you're wrong. We just like sex and rock and roll.

The vicious cycle of cold early season rides:
0-10 minutes: "hey this is great! spring is just around the corner, its even sunny out! Oh my god it burns! I forgot about the sun....
10-20 minutes: fingers start to tingle...still better than riding inside
20-30 minutes: "THIS SUCKS I HATE WINTER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
30-? minutes: "..." (too cold to move mouth)
post ride, inside: "man that was great! can't wait to do it again tomorrow!"

it's funny cuz its true

So this dude in my class has brought this fake plastic owl (one thats supposed to scare the rats away) to school everyday for the past week. "He needs an education too!" But someone today stole him! If you have seen this owl please notify him. He reportedly responds to "Paul."

When I/If I have kids, I'm never going to ground my kids for bad grades. That's really dumb. If they're passionate about something, who cares what their grades are? I think I would congratulate them on having bad grades. At least they're doing something they actually want to do and not being obsessed with success within the system. I'm mad at myself for getting straight A's. Maybe I'll just quit school and ride my bike all day...oooooh man.

This weekend there is this thing that is called the 30 hour famine. Basically you don't eat for 30 hours and do community service, then when its over, you pig out, are told how wonderful you are for doing such a noble thing then you can go home and brag about it. I've heard there is a bunch of Christianity involved in it also. That bothers me. Maybe I shouldn't talk because I haven't done it (biking) but it seems very very hypocritical and just a way for Christians to spread the word of god. Not that there is anything wrong with that because I respect their beliefs. But it is a school activity and if what I've heard was true I wish someone would do something about it. I dislike the way a lot people go about community service. They either look to get some satisfaction out of it, or they do it completely for the benevolence of others. I for one do not want to sell myself so easily! We have this thing at school where if we do 40 hours of community service, we will receive a blue cord around our robes at graduation. I would rather do it if they didn't!

Politics are boring and frustrating. Our current political haps have been perhaps the most inefficient way of dealing with things since Sparta. Just that word makes me cringe so I'm not going to say it, like how they don't say Voldemort in Harry Potter. Here is a great example what I like to call blogotics. Which wonderfully illustrates the shortcomings of both of these creations.

Mathmatical representation of my current social life (adolescent sex drive). If you figure it out I will buy you coffee and we will have an intelligent conversation and find the meaning of life.

x+y = 2yx
v=∞
y+w = yw
x+y+z+q=4zyzq
x≥y
x+z ≠ xz
z+ y≠ zy
v+z≠vz

Profound thoughts on an oatmeal box

As I was eating oatmeal like a good little healthy cat 4 this morning, I naturally read the box.

"Put in one packet of oatmeal and add 3/4 cups of hot water. For two packets add 1 cup of hot water"

That little diddy just about threw me out of my pants with thought provoking (high speed on demand) action. It also doesn't make any sense. It seems like something along the lines the more you want the less you have to put into it. (?)

Or maybe that is what they wanted me to think so that I would just eat the whole box, because using my highly attuned math skillz by then I would actually need negative amounts of water to make it.

My conclusion is that it was just a cheap subliminal way to sell more.

ride a bike

I hate how people complain about the weather when they don't even go outside. Why the hell do you people even care? Oh yeah I remember, its because you can't be uncomfortable for 10 seconds on the 20 foot walk from your car to the school. The only people who have a right to complain about the weather are bikers! Like me. So since I'm the only person in the school who is a biker, (therefore superior to everyone else) I'm the only one who can complain about the weather. If you want to complain about the weather get your ass off of the couch and go ride a bike in it. Then you can complain.

I forgot colour my bike was

I just got done washing three of my bikes, it turns out my mountain bike is actually supposed to be white and not ..dirt. My old allez was also covered in that lovely organic material that people hate but if it wasn't here, we'd be dead >_<. It makes me kind of sad to see my bikes dirty but then its also satisfying to know that I'm getting my money's worth. Tomorrow I'm gonna ride to the car wash and wash my bike. Whoa jimmy you can't do that! Just watch me.

We had another jazz band competition today. It was super fun. I talked to people that I've never talked to before. I've noticed how a persons face tells you everything. It's kind of like a complicated book all in one page. Whenever you want to think about someone just think about their face. Everything thought you've processed about that person either with them or away from them all goes into the image that is their face.

Carson, this debate we're having is very one-sided.
