-Kicking Tail and Taking Names
At a fairly big local match, over 100+ shooters I was 3rd overall. When I checked the scores I beat my chest like King Kong (more on him later) and jumped around the living room. I love celebrating in private when I do well but in public I prefer to just smile big and say thanks.

-Sex and the Movies
I've rewatched some movies from when I was younger and just now noticed the huge sexual undertones in them. The late 70's King Kong had a lot of monkey lust for the girl I never picked up on when I watched it on TV as a kid.
Breakin'. Yeah, a movie in the 80's about break dancing that my brother and I saw in a sketchy part of town. The theater was packed and the usher told us "no dancing in the aisles." But what the heck, the dudes in that movie are sooooo ghey!! Again, never saw it as a kid.
Finally the one that always gets mentioned, Top Gun. Yeah, that volleyball scene is pretty homoerotic in a way I just didn't pick up on as a kid. Who knew? Evidently everyone but me!

-Stupid Should Hurt
Well I am here to tell you it often does. It doesn't it matter how many years I've ridden a motorcycle without more than a rare scratch or bruise. No matter how many track days, races, professional schools or whatever. Being stupid on a motorcycle will hurt eventually.
So I'm here to tell you no matter that you're riding only 1/2 a mile away, that you're a great rider and that you almost always wear full gear, well if you do decide to ride in shorts and a t-shirt you will burn THE CRAP out of your calf on the exhaust, permanently scarring it in the process.

-Passport
If things go well, then should be moving to Norway in the spring of 2016. From the sun and sand of San Diego to the forests and snow of Lillehammer.

-Skool
Going to community college has been fun. Getting a nice refresher in basic algebra and learning lots in my fine arts/digital imaging/photoshop class. I'd like to continue learning the photo stuff and next semester add in a writing class to replace math. Then I should probably learn some Norwegian as well! Probably have to take private lessons for that though.

-Home and Hearth
No big back yard remodel. Two easements that prevent it on my property. Foo! Guess it's just re-landscape time then.
Looks like my mom and dad will visit next month. And that JW2 will visit in October. And with trips to Oklahoma and Washington DC in those times should get a little of my travel fix.

-It's All About Me!
Totally off my nightmare medicines. I passed out twice a few nights ago to low blood pressure. Once in the bathroom and once at the foot of the bed at 3am. Not good. I'd rather just not sleep and have nightmares.
I shaved my beard off, too many people told me I looked older with it. I'm vain, sorry. Youthfulness is a drug.
I stopped the type of workout I was doing and I've gone from 145lbs to 141lbs pretty quickly. That's fine by me. All I've noticed is a loss in aerobic capacity but I should be able to get that back on my own.
Not a single one of the many jobs I applied to got back to me. Phooh!
And I think I missed my calling as a classic country singer impersonator. All the Hee Haw reruns must have really stuck in this kid, born in rural Oregon in the 70s..................
