THe E y e of the TIGER

So the internet went down, and I called verizon. Apparnetly they are messed up so I called up my bro in law. This dude can work magic. We spent two long nights working on resolving the conflict. In addition we got the wireless working in the basement. If the renters are happy, I am extremely happy. I have been up and have to be at work in two hours, its three thirty am. I just know if I fall asleep I wont wake up ( well who wouldn't). i guess now I feel victory, like Rocky Balboa. Note how the sun is shinning on me!
My plan now is to go to work, stock shelves untill two then climb all evening. Then of course I am going to go to bed.
I should make a mental note to buy arizona ice tea. It actually works well.

my MAD whitewater kayaking skills and the China Bus

Today is Aug 21st 2007. That will be my first observation for the day. It seems as if time flies so fast and it s nearly impossible to catch up.
At this moment I am recovering from a sweet day of whitewater kayaking. Spinning in the waves was sooo sweet, I did two rolls and it shot my anderline sky high. I was happy I had a nose plug on, the last time I rolled, I got water up my nose and it took a while to get back it back to normal.
After the trip, I think the one thing I want to improve my brace, since thats where feel out of my comfort zone. Its like being thrown off a pirate ship with weights attached to your feet. In my situation its more like being attached to the boat, and knowing while you are under you are going down stream. Another thing would be not to wear a cotton shirt, I out of all people should know this. Even thought the water was warm, the air was cold. And wearing a cotton shirt lowers the body temp, which makes its colder. A feeling you dont want to have, when you are crashing waves.


I ll be adding pictures of the trip soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The China Bus Syndrome

The China Bus is the way to go when you want to get to philly for only 15 dollars. Yes, you read that right. They make you feel right at home with their sign that says
" we are not response, for your belongings" And yes you read that right as well.

My mission was to get there and help my sister move her stuff. It was a sweet deal. There are three things to do in Philly: 1. cheese steak sandwich, 2. run the public libary stairs, 3. eat water ice cream. I did number 2. While number 1 and 3 I m putting them on hold for next time. I had a great time, and would like to complete another bike trip, while i am there. The trip ended up w a five mile walk home because my sister's room mate had a flat. And we decided we should all walk back together. I did not agree w this, but I had to make it look like I was a nice brother so I walked. Furthermore, it wouldnt make a good impression on the room mate either. Such as gentleman, arent you Paulus!
