Triumphs All Around

Man, I'm tired.

The day has thus far consisted of me biking about.... 4miles past Pepperdine which is about a 40 miles ride, cooking a delicioud meal FOR ONE... and watching the "Batman: Beyond" cartoon show for the last 22 x 4 minutes. Wow. It seemed like a lot longer while I was watching it. I'm really enjoying it. I never watched those sort of things when I was younger; I don't know why they're suddenly interesting me now. The ride was really nice. No close calls to death. Most of the time, there's at least one. Oh, and I took a nap. That was between cooking and the Batman.

On this ride, I had been determined to go past where I went last. Before, I had stopped before the hill that Pepperdine is built on. That is a huge fuckin' hill. I really can't describe it any differently, so excuse me. I am certain, even after 14 years of education, there is no other way of describing it. Even a thesaurus has been consulted, and there were no synonyms.

Anyways, I went up that hill. I WENT UP THAT HILL. I amazed myself. Yeah, I didn't go up it super fast, but even as my heart was about to exploded, I just kept going, and never slowed down. All to the tune of Stevie Wonder's "Sir Duke." That was the ost difficult thing I think I've had to do while biking -- besides stopping.... and unclipping.... and not getting flats 6miles from home. It was great, because the rest of the ride seemed so easy. Coming back up the hill from the other side wasn't so bad.

Speaking of tunes, I'm pretty sure whoever is watching my life right now is getting extremely bored of my life's soundtrack (if they haven't already). Especially my "Bike" playlist. Hey, I like the songs; I don't really have anything against them. Hell, ok, their a bit outdated for the times, but they're good.

DON'T JUDGE MY MUSIC.

I HATE THE BANDS YOU LIKE.

Haha.

I think it's about time that I stole some music from Justin. We'll see how it goes. I really just need to freshen up my collection.

Where IS Justin? Hmmm... He went mountain biking this morning with the usual. He's probably at one of their's places right now.... although I did ask him to call me when he got back to Westwood. Oh, well. I've stopped caring. Unless they're dead somewhere -- then the caring begins again. Haha, I don't know why I alwasy assume people are dead. Today I tried to call my mom and dad probably about 8 times throughout the day... they didn't answer. I just assumed the worst. But it's odd, because I don't get freaked out over the looming possibility of their death because I assume it so much that I don't take it seriously. They had actually been at a ship-naming ceremony for my dad's work. Lucky. I love those sort of things.

Speaking of my dad's work, I'm so happy fore him. No really. I'm so incredibly happy for him. The thing with that Norwegian company has FINALLY been finalized. He has the contract in his hands, thank God. He's going to be heading up there sometime in mid-September to start his own company. SWEEEEEETTT.... It's really what he's always dreamed of. I'm so glad that it's all coming true for him right now. You know, my dad works so hard... he's worked so hard his whole life to get to where he is today... it's so nice for him to be able to reach those goals. He told me he'd compensate me really well if I designed a company logo for him -- which probably means something like not having to vacuum the house the next time I visit... which I'll take. Every time I go there I always end up vacuuming the house. Seriously. It ends up being like, "You know, I haven't been ere for 3 months, and I'm only here for a day... is this really necessary?"

The answer is always "yes."

I'm thinking about starting up a new blog. In addition to this one of course. I'm thinking about starting a cooking site targeted towards college students. A lot of it would be really simple ideas, taking into consideration of cost... and then I'd have one nicer recipe a week. It stems from the fact that I find myself never really making myself bad things to eat. I think overall, I'm fairly healthy... and it doesn't cost all that much to be that way. Plus, cooking is fun... and I like placing food on a plate to make it pretty. It's an art form.

The only thing I need right now is a name for it. I'll have to think about it.

I took pictures of what I made myself this evening. Sexy. I'll do the recipe for my next post.
