Despite possibly failing a quantitative business analysis quiz first thing Wednesday morning, I had the rest of the day to look forward too. 2:45 took forever to come, but the wait was worth it.
Diving in circles in San Francisco looking for a place to eat led us Ike's.
Yes the sandwiches are really worth it. I had the manajatwa, she had nacho boy. What better than Sapporo, canned Red Stripe, and a beautiful view to enjoy the one of a kind lunch.
We wandered, then ended up in Japantown.
Might as well keep it going with a bottle of Jager.
Jeff and myself did our usual Tuesday morning ride before work at iMiNUSD. Today our wolf pack grew to 3, with the company of Tanner, who seemed to be in way better shape than both of us. We rode to Fowler Park, and tried to enjoy the view while catching our breath.
On the ride back to the shop, we passed 2 or 3 KFCs. Plastered all over was the picture of 2 pieces of chicken with cheese and bacon in between. This crazy contraption is called the Double Down. Some discribe it as a "artery clogger". I call it something I tried and will not have again.
It looks nothing like the ad. It was not horrible, but not great. I'll just call it alright. With a price point of $4.99 I wont be having another. Don't believe the hype.
I passed up an opportunity to travel to the big city with some friends, and this video from Kevin has got me kicking my self for not going. Looks like it was a dope trip!
I've been sick since Easter. Nothing major, just a stuffy/runny nose and mild cough, but it still sucks. The rain started up again today, but hopefully wont last for long. Let me try and fill you in with what happened this past week.
Easter the fam came over. I stuffed my face then passed out due to going out the night before. Had class on Monday. Tuesday started off right with a morning ride with Jeff before we start work at iMiNUSD. We did a short 20 miles or so to Santana and downtown Campbell. Wednesday I had class all day, but enjoyed catching a movie after. More so the company rather than the movie (Clash of the Titans) but go watch it... you may like it more than I did. Thursday Jeff and myself rode again, then I had work at both jobs. A night out was much need, but didn't quite go as one would have hoped. Friday worked then had dinner at JP's. Thanks again, the ribs were crack! Saturday was a TAS night out, but I think we need a round two soon. Slow Sunday at work, then home to do homework. Enough of the reading, here are the pictures for you.
Temper your optimism with a healthy dose of realism.
A few days ago, Christian found me my bike on Flickr and told me about this site he runs, Pedal Room. It's a pretty dope site when one can go to browse a ton of bikes, or post up pictures and info of your own ride. Christian asked if I would mind posting up a few of my bikes and having one featured on the site. Also asked me to answer a few questions to be featured along with my bike that can be found here. Be sure to check it out.
Up, up in the air. And I run around, round, round, round this town, town and act like I don't care. So when you see me flying by, the planets move. You don't need to explain if everythings changed, just know I'm just like you.
Do you remember the childhood days when you would promise to be someone's best friend forever or promising to not tell Ashley that your bff likes her, but those words meant nothing unless they were sworn off with a cross of the pinkies. Those were simpler times for me, even though I made promises more often than I do nowadays. I believe it is due to the fact that I'm not one to make promises that I know I can not keep. Friday night I found myself promising something and the first thing that popped in my mind was that I better pinky promise to make it real. After all the years, this act of assurance was the only way I could really express to her that I was telling the truth. Next time you commit to something be sure to validate it just like you did in grade school. It means so much more that way.
It has been awhile since I have actually blogged anything of major importance. Really what is important to me, may not be to you, so I guess it doesn't matter either way. I'll just tell you that life has been crazy lately. Good and bad crazy. The kind of crazy that drains you physically because you find yourself waking up blanket-less on a couch with just a few hours of sleep, only to drive home still slightly intoxicated, to get ready for an 8 hour day at work while not fully knowing what really happened last night. The kind of crazy that has you wishing you saw that one person who seems to matter, every single day. The kind of crazy that has you working two jobs because you think you have enough extra time in your life to do so, when you know the whole time that you really don't. Would I take things any other way right now?
