Last night I made the wrong choice of watching saving private ryan which ran till 1 in the morning. Not only was I tired in the morning but my brain was racing trying to get to sleep. It is a stellar movie but maybe not for a midnight showing.
The day went pretty quick. After work I decided to go and hit up the pump track and get my sweat on for a little bit. Just so happened that Mike from the track strolled in after his mountain bike ride so we chatted for a bit and caught up.
The night was pretty tame. To be honest the most exciting thing for me was meatballs for dinner and how awesome my new underwear worked. I know underwear cant really be faulty but these I feel like a cheetah in. Like I could run across Canada. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

Lush Hair... Nor Thanks June 6 2010
K I am going to vent here. I am all for a advertising if it is effective. Where I draw the line is when it starts to intrude in what I want to do. Case and point tonight I have no idea why this started to grind my gears but I started to watch a few youtube videos after a nice nap. So I am relaxed feeling well rested and simply want to catch up on some college humour episodes and have a good laugh. Instead I am greeted by evangline lilly from loreal which thanks to the magic of f5 I can skip. Thinking nothing of it I click the related links, which is a vortex of time wasting if you are not familiar with the way youtube, works. The next 5 videos had the same L’Oreal commercial on them. These commercials are not informing me of anything in fact they are making me not want to buy L’Oreal anymore (not that I use it anyways). Why don’t these companies do research on stuff like this. This kind of in your face advertising I realize pays the bills and makes money for companies like youtube. I simply think in L’Oreal’s case it is doing more harm then good. Now that is one opinion of a 18 year old Canadian boy that does not need the new healthy look cream gloss colour. I unfortunately do not need gorgeous glossy colour that’s never dull or fake. On that note as well the hair may not look fake but the commercial is so fake its redic off the carts. If you are going to say that natural never looked so good make the setting one that is natural as well instead of having actors placed in a room that is entirely white with pink highlights. Lets see a female mountain biker coming in from a muddy ride using the product now that sounds a little more natural.
On a side note why is L’Oreal (a cooperation) is in spell check? And why do they make a million hair product but nothing for beards?
Great so now that I am done ranting for the night I can sleep in peace and not be haunted by lush “beautiful” hair. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

Frisbee Lesson June 5 2010
It was a nice relaxing day today. First off it was nice to see the sun again that has been a rare thing the past few weeks. As a person who commuted by human power it makes getting around and hanging out with friends so much easier as well. I no longer have to show up in full rain gear and loom like a dingus the entire time.
Got home from work and my allergies starting acting up because I road through a storm of cotton wood. Now instead of using a normal solution like cleariton or something I just decided to go play a game of Frisbee with Vicky right back where the cottonwood storm was. Funny thing is it actually sort of worked because I don’t have itchy eyes anymore; mind you that was probly because I was distracted from rubbing them for 3 hours. Why does it feel so awesome when you rub you eyes? Why cant they make it like a searing pain when u touch sore eyes? Why make it feel nice?
Other then that not a whole lot is new spent most of the night blasting a few tunes. Tonight’s vibe was a little bit of house music coming from a stellar indie band named karton http://www.myspace.com/kartonmusic . Defiantly check them out if you are looking to waste a few minutes. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

I Hear 18 Is The New 19 June 4 2010
Horray for business cards that take way to long to make. I don’t understand how it works because when I order printing for my work it takes 4 days max as soon as I become a civilian and have to go to staples it takes 2 weeks but hey they have what I want so I have to put up with it.
I am at a loss how I am going to fund myself in the states without getting powned by service fees and the Canadian dollar. My thinking is don’t put the cart before the horse and get across Canada first. I will jump off that bridge once I get to it. The only thing with not being 19 and having a credit card is I will not even have the option of going to stay at a hotel. If I am having a bad day I have to deal with it in my little tent of emotion. Anchor man reference for the win.
I must be off to prepare for a stellar weekend at the shop. I am not going to complain about the late shift because I got a lot done this morning, and actually got a lot done tonight with Norco as well. Sorry no Bye Bye Bye tonight. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

Boy Bands And Biking May 3 2010
Instead of starting at the begging of the day I am going to work from the back. I do not know how this happened but I ended up listening to nsync at the end of the night. I went from Barcelona who is an amazing indie artist then my brain went I need a dose of JT and the boys. Sometimes I wonder about myself. Backstreet or Nysnc?
The day was actually very productive got my car put away for the year in a barn in pitt meadows. Kind of weird you always hear of people finding old cars in barns now I finally see why.
After getting home I phoned kev because the weather was clearing up and we went for a nice long 3 hour ride. We rode message therapy which is a trail we both had not ridden and it was AWSOME. I did not ride any of the stunts but the tech sections were tough enough to make you poop a little but fast enough to cover up any mistakes easy. A couple weird things happened though. Kevs shock blew up so we had to rip the power lines. Now power lines may sound easy but these are a little sketch so much so that I almost had a near bail that could have taken out kev as well. It felt awesome to save it though because it was looking bad it I went down. As well we ran into two guys with MAC bikes and they recognized me so that was pretty cool to know that I have a impact on the riding around here.
When I got back I decided to give the bike a good clean because it saved my but 3 times today so I was super pumped. Got de mudified and ready for what was next which turned out to be a nice long long board sesh. All in all about 8 hours of physical activity so cant really complain. Instead of my regual send off I believe that we must honour for aforementioned nysnc. Bye bye bye.

What Does Cat Poo Taste Like? Apparently Coffee June 2 2010
What an awesome day. Had a solid 12 hour long sleep so I had no excuse to be tired. I woke up and hit the ground running… after a 3 hour warm up. Went to work and bought my spare tire, then over to chapters to get maps. I then came home and proceeded to return the maps and get free ones from bcaa then waste that money on a cargo net that was way to huge. I then unwound the cargo net to try to make it smaller and now it is half a cargo net with a long string also known as a fail net.
The night was actually really relaxing. It was one of those nights that made me think hmmm this is what its like to be young. It started off well when I caught up with one of my old mates from high school. I then proceeded to go for a nice shred on the long board over to courts house. I miss court what a character I don’t think many people get me but she does. I only see her once every few months for very few minutes but those few minutes are always filled with a lot of laughs. The board home was awesome as usual the weather is redic nice. The roads are dry and the air is nice temp. Something about calm streets and street lights are always a nice setting. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.
P.S. I do not know how this conversation came up but I was talking to someone about Kopi Luwak (cat poo coffee) and I got to asking myself does every cat poo taste like coffee? Please never try to find the answer anybody.

Relaxing Night June 1 2010
Pretty solid start to the weekend. Scones always get you stoked for anything. It is probably the huge amount of awesomeness aka sugar in them. After work corey and I went for a solid xc ride where I tired him out pretty good. Then I came home to make myself some leftovers and relax the night away. Uneventful I know but sometimes that’s the best. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.
