Pain Pain PAIN!

Omg.. SOOOO much pain from Tour De Palm Springs!

Sitting up to write this.. PAIN!
Driving in the car… PAIN!
Laying down… PAIN!
Walking… PAIN!

The weekend was tons of fun though. After work I drove out to Palm Springs and chilled with the Aunt and Uncle types. Traffic getting there was horrible. The first 80 miles was STOP…. GO… STOP.. GOO! Very annoying. And then I got lost. Ugh.

So I get there and they tell me we’re going to the club house for dinner. I didn’t bring clothes for that so I had to borrow mu uncles clothes… Straight outta the 70’s. Horrible! The food was good, they got drunk again like normal, etc…

Got done with that and went straight to bed. Got up at 5am and showered, dressed and then headed out to the bike ride.

Overall it was fun. The first 50 miles were no problem. About mile 67 I started to really cramp up, thankfully shortly after that I got a flat tire, so that gave me a chance to stop and streatch and take a break along the road. Got to the 72mile SAG stop and took my time. There was a nice grassy spot that I laid down on for a while and stretched out. By the time we got to the 92 mile SAG stop I just wanted to get the hell to the end! So the last 10 miles I really cranked it out and averaged 20mph for that part. It helped that I was following this really cute 20-something with a nice ass! 🙂

The first 20 miles took 1 hour and 20minutes, the second 20 miles took 45ish minutes…. Over all riding time was just over 6 hours. Total time on the course was just over 8 hours.
Total Miles: 102.9
Average Speed: 15.7mph
Max Speed: 46mph

I got back to the house about 4ish and showered and then laid down on the couch. We went out to dinner that night and I had some drinks. 🙂

Sunday I got up and was in TONS of pain. Drove home, which was PAINFUL from sitting for so long. And it was raining like a MOFO! Got home and spent most of the night on the couch. Ben came over and we did go out to dinner to Versailles Cuban and had a good time.

As always, photos can be seen on the photodump. And Here’s a map of the route:

Today I’m doing MUCH better, but my tail bone still hurts a ton when I sit. 🙁 I’m not sure if I should go to the gym tonight or not.

Adios.

Another Celeb

This week has been hectic crazy. I’ve been putting off so much stuff and have way to much to do.

I’m really scared about this 100 mile ride yesterday. Its going to be in the 50’s when we start and in the 70’s midday, plus the whole riding 100 miles. UGH!

So lets see. Tuesday the trio ended up going out to Beige again, so that was exciting. We were standing like 3 feet from Lance Bass. Very exciting. Of course you know who was there, we ignored him again. I will not let him run me out of the place I enjoy hanging out at.

Wed I slept in a little and then got up and went to work in NB. Didn’t get in till 11 again and worked till 7pm. It was a crazy day and for some reason everything on my mac kept freezing and dying randomly! I think it’s probably because I had nearly every application open! I talked to the boss about getting me more RAM again, but he didn’t seem very enthused about doing it. That night I went home and crashed right away. I was so tired. I didn’t even bother taking my laptop home!

Thursday I was back in NB at 6am, and it was another crazy day of website changes, etc. That night Ben came over and we hung out for a while. That was nice, he even gave me a massage! 🙂

I even have an actual V-day date for the first time in years! 😀 Yay!

So, I’ve been trying to avoid this, but Anna Nicole Smith is dead! Kinda random, out of the blue. But really not a big surprise. The annoying thing is though that my RSS reader has about 800 stories about it.

Today I’ve got so much to do before heading out to PS. Ugh! I’m out. Later.

Letter to Chiba… Part #2

Blah blah blah… This is all so over… Clearly we’re not going to be talking ever again. So here’s the VERY rough draft of a letter I was working on for him. Eh. Stupid fuck.

 

 

 

 

 

Mayko,

I really hate the way things have happened and I’m sorry that you think I did something to hurt you.

Friendships have thier ups and downs

I made a mistake after the new years saying I didn’t want to be your friend I thoght that it would be too hard to go from what we were doing to being just friends. But I gave it a shot and I really enjoy being your friend.

I know you haven’t known me very long, but I would never do anything to hurt you or any of my friends. I love them all.

Wow…

“Only 13 Percent Of Congressional Republicans Believe In Man-Made Global Warming”. I love how 13% of R, and it’s 94% D… Wow…

“Snickers Superbowl Web site promotes violence against gays and lesbians. Bears & Colts players react in disgust, on camera, to gays.”. Thankfully they have now pulled this Ad.

I got yelled at by the bitch at the grocery store the other day. I had a basket full of shit, and I always just set the basket on the belt. I mean. Why bother unloading it, if you put it on the belt, then the cashier can just put it in a stack at the END of the isle so that it’s easier for the baggers/etc to put them back by the door. And either way it’s really not that big of a deal. It’s not like it’s going to break something. So I get up to the front of the line and the bitch says. ‘Next time empty the basket and leave it at the end”. Umm, excuse me? You talk to your customers like that? Fuck you. The next day I was at the store again and she was working. I only bought an onion, but I was SOOO tempted to wait in her line and just set the fucking basket on the belt again. Stupid bitch.

Nothing much really going on. Today has been hectic!! I’m spinning 7 different projects, all of them have show-and-tells coming up in the next 2-3 days and it’s getting really frustrating. I have changes coming from every direction and stuff. And three of them have the same freaking name! I can’t keep track of them! lol.

I didn’t even get into the office till 11 today, then things weren’t working and I couldn’t upload the changes and what not. Very frustrating. So now I’m sitting in and empty office so that things actually work! 🙂 One of the projects I presented 2 different themes to last week. They picked the one that I thought looked the worst. Oh well, it still looks good though! 🙂

I ended up buying the new camera. It should be here tomorrow. I’m very excited for this, but still pissed that I had to spend the money on it. I should get a retractable cord for this one! lol.

Last night Ben came over again and hung out. Good times. I made Chicken Pizza. It was excellent. What can I say! I think tonight we’re all going out to Beige again. But not sure, people are iffy and I’m tired and what not. Plus I really don’t want to run into you know who again!

Ok. I gotta go, way to much going on. Later!

It Wasn’t Me

So I was listening to the radio the other day and “It Wasn’t Me” by Shaggy came on the radio. It got to the line where the song goes:

now we were both caught making love on the bathroom floor

and instead of that it now says:

now we were both caught love on the bathroom floor

Umm. WTF?! Since when did “making love” become something you can’t say on the radio!? WHAT!? Are you serious!? This has to be one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard!

So then. Friday night I was supposed to go out to Weho with people but everyone backed out at the last minute and it was just annoying. Instead I spent the night working on some stuff for one of my contract jobs and I just couldn’t get it figured out. The View is returning 4 rows and I need to take data from the two identical rows and join it together…. Well, it’s harder then that, I’m just not explaining it right. Either way I couldn’t figure it out. I went to bed about 11 and woke up around 9ish Saturday.

Got up and went to Ikea and the SouthBay Pavilion. GHETTO! Ikea was good. I spent $65 there, got a shoe rack, a rack for the bathroom, some spoons, and a huge coffee mug for the newport beach office. Came home and put things together and cleaned.

So remember the camera I lost? It’s STILL not found. I have spent 15-20 minutes every day looking for it. Today I pulled EvERYTHING off my desk, out from under my desk, out of the closets, turned the couch up side down, moved the coffee tables, I even searched through my underwear drawer!! It’s GONE. I’m really starting to think I might have thrown it away or something, but I went out and searched through the two bags of trash that I’ve taken out in the last week.. NOTHING. So now I have to find a new one. I’ve been WANTING a Digital SLR forever, but I think that’s just way too much to spend on it right now. So I don’t know what to do. I’m thining the Canon Powershot SD630. It looks like a really nice camera and I _love_ the 3″ screen! I really want to have a camera before this weekend’s ride.

I also went out and did a quick bike ride. That was good. Less then one week till my 100 mile ride.

Saturday night Robert and I hit up Weho. Had a really good time, and checked out a few boys. 🙂 Fun fun! Surpised we didn’t run into you know who. But thank god. The lines at HERE were HUGE! Something special must have been going on. Either way we had a great time. Got home about 3am and crashed.

Sunday got up and looked for my camera a little more. But there’s really no where LEFT to look, but I just know that as soon as I go buy a new one, it’s going to turn up somewhere.

Went flying in the afternoon with Jason and Carlito. We flew inland over downtown LA, up to Santa Monica, south over LAX and then back into Hawthorne. While we were flying up towards downtown LA we came within what seemed like a couple hundred feet of an Airbus A320 that was coming into LAX. They said that they were really low or what not. Either way it was COOL and scary at the same time being that close to such a huge jet.

After that Jason and I went over to Torrance Airport and talked to a guy who knows the guy who was in a plane crasha over the weekend. Pretty amazing story. Now that’s a real pilot!

Ben came over that afternoon about 3 hours after I had expected him, but either way we had an enjoyable evening talking and watching Scrubs.
