so yeah...

I have obviously been busy. Busier than normal I guess.... I've been reading a book at night about Joseph Conrad. (And yes, I have read everything, not the little novella Heart of Darkness everyone reads in most colleges or AP lit in high school) Anyways... the chapter on Conradian narrative is soooo deep and written for the academic reader or serious student of Conrad it is hard for me to follow it sometime..

Since I will just be writing as I'm thinking this might be hard to follow as well. Just a warning.

Driving through Lake Elsinore on Saturday night I was behind a car with the plate "HELCNOR". It took me a while to think of what it meant, and I think they were trying to say "Hellsinore", like Lake E. is hell. Now I have heard of Hell Ay to describe LA, but this is a new one to me. Even if that isn't what they meant I am glad to see someone pull something over on DMV.

If you want lunch in St George on a Sunday, good luck! Almost everything was closed that I wanted to eat. So stuck at some taco stand the guy asked me if I was from California. Now really, do I just look totally like I'm from CA? Do I?

Wow, work.... So I have worked 3 days now. Some of my stuff from being a bike mechanic in college has come back, some not. But what I thought was a part time job working with someone I know has turned into a full time job with everyone leaving for a month. Yikes! I feel like I am not a good enough mechanic right now to be left like that. And I know ZIP about most roadbike issues and the computer system at the store. Oh well....guess I'll learn.

The sucky thing is it totally blocks out any time for jiu jitsu. My schedule at work is such that I can attend ZERO bjj classes. ARGH!! I don't know what to do about that....What is worth what to me....? (Caleb, any insight?)

I am also leading, that's right(first place!!!!), my class in the Racers and Chasers Super D summer series with one race left. I have enough points on second place that no matter what I will win the overall!!! YES!! And in the Rim Nordic Super D series if I finish 1st or 2nd in the final race I will be 2nd over all. If I finish 3rd or 4th I will be 3rd overall for the summer series(and this is an Open class!).

So yeah, lots of working and reading. Not much riding/training/jiu jitsu/motorcycles as usual. =( But I think that will only be for the next month or so. I need to cut work back to part time.

Oh yeah, and PA school is on hold for a long time now. With K moving in I can't move for school. Love is about doing stuff for others, not for yourself. K. living with me should be better for him that PA school would have been for me. My work/job/money thing is still an issue that needs addressing over time, but right now things are kinda just how they will be for a few months. Years?

And there are a couple movies out I wanna see. And go to Street Scene next weekend. And I need to sell both little dirt bikes and turn them into one CR85.(get ready to rock M.!!)

My gut has also not been as perfect as it used to be, so I am worried the Remicade is loosing effect....
There you have it my readers, a stream of conscious account of my last week.
