The last few weeks here in Denver have been pretty much perfect weather. I love it! Tons of good thunderstorms, days full of rain and puddle jumping. It’s been so relaxing I’ve been able to close my eyes and just listen as the rain hits the lightrail windows on my way home.

On top of that, it’s so warm and sunny when it needs to be. It’s no nice to feel the warm summer sun beaming on your face as you step outside.

So many great thing the summer brings. Mini Skirts, long bike rides, sunburns, BBQ’s, swimming, bikinis, string bikinis. Of course, the summer brings alot of bad things too such as mini skirts, long bike rides, sunburns, BBQ’s, swimming, bikinis, string bikinis. It’s weird how somethings make your great/crappy list isn’t it? Trust me, you have to take the good with the bad, and it’s well worth it.

Yesterday for me was killer. My body ached and screamed at me every time I breathed from my previous day’s ride. I figured yesterday was a good of a day as any to just rest my bones. I knew it was going to be a long day seeing as it took me an hour to get out of bed. Ok, not really, but it felt like an hour. My calves, my arms, my pits, my thighs … heck, even my eyelids hurt. With my free time I did a couple of things … I first went to the bike store(which I need to go again, more on that episode later). I needed a few things, extra water bottle and holder, brake pads, a light, a mirror, and new wraps for my handlebars. Well, when I got there and saw the selection of brake pads, my head hurt and my eyes were dizzy. Needless to say confusion ran across my mind and I couldn’t find the ones that fit my bike! As for mirrors, I decided I didn’t really need one after all! Why? I wanted a tiny mirror, one that fit at the end of my handlebars, probably a little bigger than a half dollar. What I found however, was a mirror that was about the size of a full length body mirror that would inevitably be hanging off the side of my bike. No thanks. Vanity is a sin and I don’t want to get into a wreck checking out my body as I’m riding. As for the light, I decided I would do better at getting home(and going to work) at a reasonable time from here on out and thus would never have the need to ride at night. Besides, I didn’t really find the billion and one nats hitting my body that pleasant, lets not forget the ones I ate! But we’ll see how that goes, I’m not quite sure that I can wake up at 8am every day. I’m so used of sleeping in …

I get home, fixed up my bike, took off my old handlebar wrappings and put on the new. It was alot simpler than I had originally thought, and the wrappings only cost 15 bucks, as apposed to the 50$ it would have cost to have it professionally done. Might I add, it looks as if a professional did it I took it outside to go for a test spin, and I looked at my tire pressure. 80psi like normal. I noticed a stint of light on the text of the tire and it read, inflate to 100psi. Seriously? That’s alot of pressure … so I obliged. Needless to say it’s like riding a Cadillac now! My next thing I wanted to finish up was my gear ratios. Some gears were clanking, the other gears were being skipped, and it really does take away from a good ride … and it throws off your rythem some. I tried to fix that, but I think I only made it worse! Now, my 2nd and 3rd sprocket works like a champ, however it doesn’t even go into 1st! How crappy is that? So today I’m going to go to the bike store and see how much they will charge to have my bike re tuned. Hopefully it doesn’t cost too much, and hopefully it doesn’t take them too long to get it fixed! I want to ride some more this weekend …

After that was all said and done, it was only 8 oclock or so at night. I showered, contemplated what I was to next and I remembered that Pan’s Labyrinth came out. I hustled to walmart, and bought it, popped it into the DVD Player and watched probably a good half hour of it or so, then the next thing I remember is waking up to my alarm for work. crick in my next from my bean bag I slept like a baby, but damn my neck hated me.

So what’s the plan for tonight and the weekend? Not much really. I finally get to take a break. Tonight I was suppose to play the role of "wingman" but apparently his date cancelled on him, and thus that canceled my date as well. I suppose it’s not a bad deal, however I am still annoyed. He’s been being a flake latley. I told him to hit me up next time he wanted to hang out which I basically said "have a good life dude". Pretty much the same thing with Adam. He’s moved to chicago and I doubt I’ll ever hang out with him again. Sure we’ll talk, but I’d imagine that’s as far as it goes which is a bummer, but that’s life I’m told. We’ll see.

Tommorow me and my buddies are going to the soccer game. I’m really excited as usual. I love going to the soccer games. The field is gorgeous, the beer is tasty and the setting for the game couldn’t be better.

As for sunday, I’m suppose to do something but I forgot … o.0 Oh dear, I hope I don’t turn into a flake!

Tonight though, I need to take my bike to the shop and finish the rest of my movie. My body has forgiven me for being so hard on it the past few weeks, but another day of rest wouldn’t kill me. Probably what I’ll do but we’ll see.

Have a good one.

What a lucky day I’ve been having.

<img src=http://ozweegoville.com/Photo_Gallery/Photos/new365/5_16_07.jpg width=300>
What an jealous day I’m having! Brandi is soaking up the rays in San Diego! I told her when she got there to send me a picture of her toes in the sand and that’s exactly what she sent. I wish I could see the ocean … when I flew from england I was too young and I was told by a little birdie(aka my mom) that I slept the entire way. So to this day I have yet to see the ocean with my very own eyes. Hopefully she has a great time …

First it started at work. I realize I’m a programmer but I’m not a physic. The past week I’ve been pretty much guessing at the work that others have been doing. It’s kind of hard to explain, but just know that it was complete luck that got me going today.

I’ve been working at work(go figure) on my code to download listings from an MLS and today it started working! Huge weight lifted off my shoulder …

Then both my watch and my glasses came in today. I bought a new watch to finally get rid of the one she bought me and it’s practically industructable, and a ton of cool features. One of which is a lap timer that stops and starts by you hitting the face of the watch. Pretty nifty.

Last week I broke my sunglasses. I didn’t even do anything really to warrant them breaking. Just *poof* broken. It’s been miserable without some form of glasses given the wind in my eyes when I ride. At night it’s even worse becuase of the nats. I decieded to buy some good ones finally, I’m tired of going through glasses I hate. I <a href=http://oakley.com/pd/1222>decieded on these ones</a>. They are so comfy and definetly worth the bones I paid for them.

So I went for my ride. I was lucky again! I had enough time to ride my normal 12 mile path and get back to my car in the nick of time, just as the sun was setting. There is nothing more beautiful than a Denver dusk. Perhaps a Denver sunrise could beat it, but I doubt it.

When I got home I did a load of laundry, grabbed some grub and am now sitting in my bean bag chair, only to find that I missed tonights episodes of scrubs! doh! How can that be? I decieded to channel surf, and low and behold, Scrubs! Not only that, it is my favorite <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Best_Laid_Plans>Episode!</a>.

Now i’m dozing off. It’ll be a good night for sure.

Tommorow is LiveSTRONG day. Wear yellow!

John Q is on … such a great movie.

It’s amazing how big of a part an ego can play in a relationship. Whether it’s at the office, at home or anywhere really on this road of life. Even moreso amazingly, it can even play a big role in relationships that you thought were once over. Sometimes it can break up the best relationships and other times it’s there like an iron curtain keeping the beast at bay. It’s a sad truth, but a truth none the less. It’s just a matter who’s ego and pride filled hearts gives in first.

Now that I can write in a little more privacy it feels good. It’s been something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now and just never had time to. By no means am I blocking anybody from my thoughts, however I’m making it a bit more reclusive for myself, afterall, this journal is for me and I’ve never really have been one to play to an audience.

I think for the first time in a very long while I’m actually a little spooked at life. I’m one that’s not shaken easily, but the more I think about the next six months of my life, it’s really quite unsettling. I’m excited too, don’t get me wrong but it’s that knowledge of the unknown(I know, it should be the lack of knowledge about the unknown, but knowing that I don’t know is what I’m referring to!). Like staring at a big black abyss. I’m not even sure if that fully justifies it, but I’d imagine looking back in 10 years on tonights entry, I’ll get the picture…

Today I did go through a few of my older entries. Sortof a "this day in history". Its hard to believe my first entry was more than 5 years ago. It’s nice to sit and reflect. It’s pretty funny, no matter how young I was, and how long ago 5 year seems, I remember exactly where I was, and exactly what I was doing when I wrote it. Everything from me purchasing my car, my anticipated arrival in Denver to my first day at Echostar. All of which seemed like forever and a day ago. How time flies …

You know what’s even creepier? <a href=http://www.ozweegoville.com/Chron/journal.php?id=163>Check this out</a>. I was writing about the same thing … reflection.

That’s what we are here for! That’s why I put myself through these few minutes each night to reflect on the day, and days past and the future when I’ll read this and laugh. That is a good feeling, which I’ve done so many times. Even if I don’t blog, just read and say, yea … you were right kc of old. kc of new would be proud.

kc is proud. I’ve come along way since my first blog of 5 years ago. Perhaps my grammer has faltered but my writings I feel are more mature, and in some cases imature.

What a neat feeling.

Until tommorow.

PS.
If you made it to my blog, and heck, if you made it this far.

I thank you for enjoying my life(and yours) along with me.

I’m so tired … this rain is making me very very sleepy!

Anywho, sorry for the email confirmation verification before you entered the site today. I had to implement something. I’ve noticed a few unwelcome visitors.

Anywho, I’m heading to bed now!

Night!

So, this weekend was pretty eventful and has left me with a feeling that I need another day off. All in all though, it was a great way to finish up the week, and usher in a new one.

If only they could have all been this great.

Hmmmm, well journal, yesterday when I left you I was describing the rest of the day I had planned and it all went according to plan.

Better actually.

I left at about noon or so for my bike ride… and I didn’t get back until about 4pm. I did my normal ride, but halfway through I caught up with a group of older guys who were very receptive to a new comer, and as we rode we got to chatting. Normally where I turn off and head back, they kept going … I was somewhat confused because I had been this way before as well and it lead to a dead end. Well, they showed me another way to go which opened up the trails to be about 3 times as many more which I found to be pretty amazing. There are so many trails and open roads that I would have never known existed had I not started to chat with these guys which is awesome in itself given the fact I’ve got new obstacles to face. After 20 or so miles we decided to branch off, I wished them luck and vise versa and on I went.

Just me and the open road. For some reason I felt compelled to keep going and thats exactly what I did. I climbed a few richards(hilly hills) and I weaved in and out of traffic on long and winding roads. Before I knew it, I realized I should be getting home. I needed to get ready but in all honesty, I wanted to keep riding. Probably was a good idea seeing as it was a good 80 degree plus outside and my water supply was running dangerously low.

"Ok, but I’m coming back tomorrow and finishing where I left off" I said to myself. I got home, took the longest, hottest , most relaxing and thought provoking shower in my entire life. It was amazing. Just a simple shower …

I turned on to watch the remaining few minutes of the football match and at that time it was 9 o’clock at night or so. Time to head to Brandi’s shindig. I was pretty nervous going, given the building it was at was in the 5 points area, and I’ve had my run in’s at the DMV which made me somewhat reluctant to go. Of course I did, they had free beer

So I went. Mixed and mingled for a bit. Met a ton of new people and met just as many, if not more, interesting and bizarre people but very cool and friendly none the less. I had to get going home though. It was well past midnight and I was exhausted. There is only so many conversations one can make before it gets repetitive so I headed home. I don’t think I even had the chance to take off my shoes. I was still feeling a good buzz from the shot of tequila I had before I left and on top of that, my monte cristo I smoked on the way home.

It was a great way to finish off a great day.

Unfortunately I was rudely awakened by some jerkoff and his 2 cent mustang revving his engine, far too early on a Sunday morning. I suppose I should have thanked him for waking me up. I needed to get up, get my daily rituals done and it was good knowing my day wasn’t going to be wasted.

Today I woke up refreshed and aching from my previous day’s ride. It was a good aching though. It was the same sensation I felt after playing a weekend long soccer tournament. It made me feel like I accomplished something so in that regard I welcomed the pain.

I called my mom, let her know I love her and I appreciate everything she’s done for me, and furthermore appreciate the things she will do for me and just doesn’t know it yet I went back on the bike, but today only for a good 3 hours. It’s amazing how the time flies by. One would think it would get boring, with just you, a bike and the open road, but it’s very therapeutic. I usually end up talking to myself about various subjects. Sometimes it’s women and other times it’s just life in general. Usually it’s a mixture of both.

Afterwards I stopped by brendens house for a good stogy and ribs. When I got there he already had company and so we talked and talked and talked. It reminded me alot like home. Everybody is so nice, just talking wtih each other about various things. It was nice.

And the ribs were amazing. AND, I bought my first bushel of corn, EVER! I felt very grown upa nd mature, even if it wasn’t me who was cooking and processing them

Afterwards me and brenden just talked. Mostly about his previous exprience with women, his divorce and how he caught his wife sleeping with another man ect … It’s always nice to talk to somebody who’s been in the same situation.

Not that my situation or situations have ever really been the same but I can relate none the less. He said it was pretty surreal experience for him, and I can only imagine. He took his vows and said "I do". For me, I called Stevie out on cheating and of course the first thing she wanted to know is what would happen to her stupid phone, nor did she ever deny it. I went to her blog site the other day and saw that she’s now in a good relationship with this other guy. I’ve always known that’s what was taking place, but it was surreal to say the least. We were just nieve and thoughtlessly in love, let alone like brenden who was married.

I can only imagine the thoughts …

I’m glad he’s happy now and has found a good catch in his current wife, and I’m also happy that stevie found somebody else.

As for my somebody else, I’ve got a date this week so we’ll see. Also, my good friend Betsy is coming into town within the next week or two and hopefully I can get her drunk and bring her back to my place, only to make her watch I love lucy reruns I think. HAHA.

We’ll see … I’m excited. I am so happy and so thankful for where I am in life and I couldn’t imagine it going any other way.

The rapids won tonight, I’ve got the best friends in the world, I just ate the most tastiest ribs ever and tonight I will sleep so soundly, for my body aches with happiness and tomorrow will start anew.

Peace!
