the Sun beat me tonight.....:
well tonight i had quite the experience. i left work a little early to make it home so there would be enough sunlight left in the evening to provide me with atleast an hour and a half of ride time.. according to weather.com sunset was at 9:11 but we all know they are full of shit to begin with. well i took matters into my own hands and decided that since the clouds cleared in the area i was riding that i would gain some time.. little did i know that i pretty much suck.
anyways ive been riding these trails near my house which are amazing. they are the pinckney/waterloo recreation area trails. check out this link to get a feel for how massive these trails are. there are over 70 miles worth of trails.. what im linking you to are the waterloo trails alone.. this doesnt include all of the other trails in the area that all connect. atleast the map doesnt include them.

I just thought of this...It was the year the Green Day headlined the Warped Tour (I think it was 98). The Mighty Mighty Bosstones were playing on one stage, and I thought Green Day was going to play after one more band after the Bosstones. I figured I'd stay up at the fgront of the pit so I wouldn't have to push back through to get to the front when Green Day played. After the Bosstones set, Dicky yelled "Thank you guys so much! Take care and give it up for Green Day!" or something like that. I was confused because I thought Green Day was after one more band, which would make it so they were playing on that stage. Then, in my ear I heard the opening chords to "Welcome To Paradise". I immediately went into a frenzy, and I knew tha I had to run all the way over to the other stage, and push my way through to the front. About halfway through my frenzied run through the pit, There was some kid in a wheelchair that I didn't see. I ran right into him and . . . Read More..

If you have ever met my dog, you know she loves food or anything resembling food! So, yesterday I just finished off a box of Cheez-It's and of course, Ginger had to play with the box to eat any last crumb. After she took the plastic bag out of it, and licked it clean, she thought the box still might have some crumbs in it. In her mission to salvage anything remaining, she put her head inside of the box and it got stuck!! She started thrashing her head around in hopes the box would come off and walking around frantic into ever wall in the living room! Being the mean mom I am, I sat on the couch watching her for a little while for my own amusement, then ran to grab the camera. I was only able to get a couple shots before she got the box off, but it was hilarious!

At one of my first basketball games I made a very big mistake.

Someone had fouled Kevin Shear and it was one of those fouls where you took the ball out on your own side.

Well me being the distracted type, forgot which side we were actually shooting on and sprinted across the court really fast. Apparently the whole crowd was yelling at the top of their lungs for me to stop.

But I just blocked them out. It was my moment of glory. So I did a layup on the other teams basket.

It really sucked and what was BS was the fact that the referees didnt even take it back.

I really had a lot of fun at Saturday games. I loved getting to these high school gyms beforehand and I liked wandering around hanging out with my teammates. Practice was a lot of fun too. I miss basketball. I just wish I had missed that shot that day.
