That’s right!!! I can officially say I can play (in some recognizable manner) Summer of ’69 by Bryan Adams on the guitar. I have spent the last week plucking away and tentatively singing along while I strum to that wonderful ode to guitar playing anthem. I am sure it does not sound nearly as good [...]

Rashes, Strings, and Things

I just finished my morning run…another solid morning of miles. It was a chilly morning, which is odd since today is supposed to be over 30 degrees Celcius (around 90 Farenheit for the American friends out there). The run stared good, felt awesome as my shoes were pounding the trail. However, about 2 kilometers in [...]
The Cycle Begins Again

With the end of today, my wonderful, carefree, summer will be coming to an end. There will be no more road trips, random events, or any otherwise sponteous happenings. While the weather here might still be relatively summery, the general summer feel will be starting to wane. The cycle of the seasons has come right [...]
Sing Along

I am about to head on yet another road trip and would absolutely love some new songs to play on my iPod fro the drive. There are only so many times I can bear other drivers to witness me belting out the lyrics to “Redneck Woman” with my windows open on the highway. I like [...]
Airports
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged science, travel on August 19, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Airports can be fun. They are a key point of travelling to tropical destiantions, shuttling you overseas, or just a good place to get a huge oversized and overpriced 3 day old muffin. I like them for all these reasons, but the one place in airports that I do not like are the international departures [...]
Ride Warrior

On my last roadtrip I conquered the road, and my destination had me conquering the death-defying roller coasters. I am not a roller coaster junkie and the rush of adrenaline does not course throught my veins as I think about the “thrill” that awaits me as I plummet down the twists and turns of a [...]

I am back after my weekend road trip/hiatus. I am not one who really minds a drive if it is under 6 hours long. I got my iPod at the ready and equipped with my special “driving playlist”, filled up on gas, and plugged in my GPS as a safety blanket. I have been on [...]
Hiatus Over!

I haven’t posted in a couple days because I have been away adventuring, but have no fear I have some good insights to share. But for now I must go to bed, I am mucho tired. Sweet dreams too all.
On The Road Again

I will be shortly heading out on the highway once again for quite the drive. To help the trip go by faster I have my iPod all charged up with a special “driving playlist” all set up that I made last night. All it really is is a compilation of the top however many songs [...]
The Consensus
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged running, science on August 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This morning running and I came to a bit of a consensus. I still think I got the short of this deal because the consensus did not come until after I had already woken up at 6 am, but with running, I will take what I can get. It was one of its more generous [...]
