It's amazing just how awake I am. kinda bummed that I've wasted so much money on energy drinks in the past.
It was nice to get out on my Mountain bike again. It's the second time I've been riding in probably the last 3 months. I can't believe how out of shape and how my riding skills have suffered. I had a good time though. Met this older guy riding up at the airstrip overlook and rode with him a bit and chatted about bike stuff, then I went back off on my own and explored a little and took some pictures. The leaves are slowly changing in the valleys now, they are almost at full peek above 4000 feet.
I guess I'm gonna start trying to ride more. I forgot how good it makes me feel afterwords and i need to loose a little of that weight I've picked up over the past couple of months.
Anyway, I just took my phone with me so the pictures or not the best quality but you get the idea :P
( see pictures and stuff )
Running on little sleep, exhausted from way to much homework and ready for my Friday-Tuesday weekend.
I've had a lot on my mind lately. School has me stressing pretty good, I've got several large projects due in a couple of weeks. The semester is almost half over so at least time is moving fast. I'm probably going to change my major to networking systems. I just really don't care for website design as much as I thought I would. It's fun and all but I just cant see myself setting behind a desk all day.
Not been able to really get out and do much. I have been riding my motorcycle a bit lately and did ride my Mountain bike today for the first time in a long time. It really hurt and made me realize how out of shape I am XD
I've kinda been in that funk lately that I've known all to well in the past. I think back to where I was last year at this time and have realized basically I'm still in the same boat so to say if not a little worse off. They say time heals all wounds but honestly, especially after some events that took place tonight, I'm not all that sure. I wanted to think it does, I kinda opened myself up again, but I'm really nervous and realized that things have not really changed. I guess it is just wishful thinking.
anyways, just thought I would write all this down
I'm off to bed for some much needed sleep.
It's been a while to say the least. I'm full swing in school right now. It's going OK. I'm holding an A average in all my classes, I have about 20 hours of homework a week but that's OK I guess. It keeps me busy and I learn better on my own instead of setting in a classroom. I'm enjoying it for the most part and have learned a lot already and just created my first website. I had to hand code everything but I'm proud of it, even though it's kinda basic.
I had a good time at MFM this year despite a few things. It was nice to see everyone again and finally meet people that I have wanted to for a long time. I really could not get in the mood to suit there for some reason and really, ended up just hanging out most of the time. When I was leaving Monday morning, taking stuff down to load stuff in Rob's car I twisted my ankle and dislocated it. It went right back in but did some damage to the tendons around it. I can walk on it now but it still really hurts if I put any hard pressure on it. It really sucked walking though the airports with it hurt and swelled up though.
Not really had a chance to get out and ride for fun lately, I've been to tied up with school and everything else. I was hoping it would clear up tomorrow but they are talking about rain all weekend so I dunno. Hopefully this weather will blow out of here sooner than later though, I really need to get outside some, my mood is going downhill fast and I've got to do something about it.
Had to make some tough decisions today. I myself, and Several other close friends believe I did the right thing, however it left one person hurt and several more upset. I just could not let things keep going the way they were though and end up in a situation that I have been in two times already. I kinda feel bad now because of some low blows someone took at me about the whole issue but I'll be OK, even though I might of just lost several friends. I just still find it really interesting how I get involved in so much drama and never look for it. It's about a once a month thing for me it seems like.
That's about it I guess, I just really need to figure out somewhere to go or someone to hang out with tomorrow. Tig wanted me to go to the club with him tonight but I was just not in the mood and really don't like going to that one anyway. So I guess i'll just end up sitting around here most of the day, playing guitar and hoping that all the BS that took place tonight does not flare back up.
Ish it for now I reckon.
Today, I was suppose to go meet someone a hour away to show them my boat and hopefully sell it. Went out to hook the boat up and now it won't idle. my money is on the Idle air control motor but not sure yet.. no codes thrown..

I'm slowly starting to get back in the groove of things, I believe being away for a bit helped me somewhat to deal with what all went down the past few weeks but it kinda hit me hard when I was sitting around Charlotte to catch my connection home. thankfully a couple of friends helped me out and talked me through some things.
Drove up to Boone on Wed. afternoon to hang out with scape for his birthday, He was nice enough to bring my suit back with him so I did not have to worry about flying home with it. Did not do to much yesterday, just kind rested.
Today I had to take my truck to have a tie rod end replaced, I've never had a dodge truck that they have not went bad on. Then I came home, got on the Ducati and went for a short ride around here up to Mt. Pisgah. it was cloudy and the bike liked the cool air and ran strong. it's more or less broken in now with all the clicks and taps you come to expect from a Italian bike :P
No clue what's in store for the next couple of days, I'll just have to wait and see.
For the few of those who do not already know..
A few months ago I got a call from my friend Kobalt that he wanted to come to Asheville and hang out. I was like OK, cool, another fur to hang out with. Well, we spent a long weekend together and started to have feelings for each other. He told me the second day he was at my house that he did not have any ties to anyone and that it was not a issue.
One thing led to another, we started spending more and more time together and about three weeks ago became mates. I was really happy, I had a awesome husky that seemed to love me and showed it through phone calls, coming to visit me and just other random things that show someone cares about you. I did know about his past with another fur in Raleigh and asked him about it several times, the answer always ways "he played me, I'm through with him, I'll never try to get back with him, you don't have to worry about that"
When it comes down to it, I had fallen for kobalt hard because he had showed me love back and had let me trust him, I really could not see a reason not to, he was happy. we were planning on going to ac together, I even paid for his regestration because he did not have any money at the time and I did not want him to have to stand in line.
Little did I know, this fur who had moved away for a few months, now had moved back to Raleigh and I guess, decided that after a year or so of Kobalt trying to date him and be with him, and finally giving up and finding someone else, he was finally ready and he did not care if he was with someone or not.
I left Raleigh 5pm on Monday afternoon. Everything was perfect when I left, other than I did not want to leave him, and he did not want me to leave. it took us forever to say goodbye. I called him about 8pm and did not get a answer, tried again several times and got a text back "I'm over at Audis talking about stuff"
so at this point I'm more or less freaking out and know what's going on, he gives me a call back at 2am and acts like nothing is going on, I ask him and he tells me I do not have anything to worry about. The next day, my head is just messed up, I call him while I'm at work and try to talk about things, he tells me what is going on, how Audi wants to be with him now after all this time. I just kinda think it's funny that as soon as Kobalt gets into a relationship Audi wants the one person that ever gave him any attention back.
Tuesday was a living hell for me, I was at work dealing with this crap, fix bikes, and deal with customers. my boss finally got pissed off at me and told me to go home. I did not though, I stayed through the rest of the day so I could get work done. I did send him a email when I got home about what all happened and apologized for it. also how I needed to take the next day off so it would not happen again because I knew what was going to happen. he did tell me to call him when I wanted to work again and I did not see working yesterday because I was just to caught up in this and make lots of mistakes when I try to work in that condition.
Yesterday rolls around and I give Kobalt a call at 12 just like I said I would. I told him how I felt and he told me that more or less he was going to do this, and at this point he felt that he would hurt Audi more right now, not being with him, than he would hurt me, breaking up with me. He didn't care if I thought he was a ass and more or less told me he did not give a shit about me anymore because Audi loved him. If that is not fucked up logic I really do not know what is.
I ended up going to Boone last night to hang out with some close friends and let them calm me down, it really helped out, I was feeling halfway OK when I got home, then I checked my email. My boss replied back and I've been fired from my job, the reason he gave me is because I was upset Tuesday and kept walking out or going to the bathroom, that I do not care anything about it, I don't work, I'm rude to people, and I have no work ethic whatsoever. I'm just laughing about that now and can not believe that I worked for such a ass for all this time and everyone that knows me, knows how I bust my ass at that job and more or less do everything.
So right now I'm not even trying to figure all this out, it's just to much to take in. I'm just gonna take it as it comes. I'm still going to try to make it to AC since I already have my plane ticket and regestration paid for. it would cost me more not to go than to go ahead and find money somewhere. My parents know the situation and say they will help me out even though I really don't like them to. also I've got about 10000 dollars in toys I need to sell that will help pay off a lot of debt.
it seems my whole world has just caved in. I lost someone I loved with all my heart and they could care less what they've done to me, I've lost my job and I've got way to many bills to pay as it is. I have no clue what I want to do with my life now, and i'm still trying to figure out how people can be such heartless sons of bitches and wonder if I have to be that way to get buy in this world.
more about the events leading up to it later.
*wag wag wag wag*
Drove my truck today because I wanted to take my Mtn. bike. Went to ride after work and was driving back when I noticed a big cloud of smoke behind me. pulled over and transmission fluid was everywhere. I just drove it to the next pull off, called the rollback and had it taken to the dodge dealership. I didn't even get under it to see where it was coming from but it was all the way froward so I figure its ether a line going to or coming from the tranny cooler or the cooler itself. oh well, just another thing to add to the week I've been having. I was suppose to be off tomorrow to work a checkpoint at a bike race but found out today that I have to work! Great! I love my job.
I was having a little trouble with the clutch this morning, just kinda nervous and dumping it lol. The hydro clutch still feels kinda strange to me. no mishaps though which I was happy about, I doubt you could loop this bike out anyway. it got better though the day though and I finally feel good with the controls.
We hit some really tight twisty stuff and it kinda sketched me out a little bit. I'm really not sure how to ride this bike through tighter curves. I can lean in fine on most turns but if it's really sharp I kinda get nervous. I'm trying to pay attention to my counter steer but I'm not having problems holding a line or with the transitions. I think it's more of a trust issue with the bike/tires. I've fought the urge to put my foot out like I do on my sumo when I'm corning in really tight stuff a couple of times, but as we all know, that does not work well on bikes like this and will leave you with your ass and bike on the ground.
I think that it's just gonna take time to learn the new bike. Other than that, it rides great. has more than enough power than I need right now. It handles good on the interstate and is not all twitchy above 65 like every other bike i've owned. on top of that, it sounds freaking awesome, especially the growl that comes from the air box when you really get on it.
Anyways, We stopped and walked around Mt. Mitchell and headed back down the road toward Asheville. Stopped there to eat, walked around a little bit, saw the hippies and came home. Total mileage for me was right at 175. a fun day, just tired and sore now :P Tig snapped a picture of me on my bike next to the elevation sign at mt Mitchell, the highest point east of the Mississippi.
Notice the bad habit i've picked up from suiting. I try to tilt my head and look cute every time I see a camera now. Does not work so well with a helmet and riding gear on :P Oh well XD
So tomorrow it's back to work at the bike shop, watching it rain outside and dealing with the stuff no one wanted to do this weekend.. ACK!
It's going to take a while to learn it but I feel ok on it already. the only thing that is giving me trouble are tight corners and low speed turn offs. I've really not learned to trust the bike leaned over yet and have really not figured out the hydro clutch. it has a strange feel to it after I'm used to a heavy cable clutch. another thing that's going to take a while to learn are the brakes.
the front brakes, I'm pretty sure, are what they use on trains.. those things are massive and I'm sure if you grabbed a hand full you would be over the bars before you knew what happened. I was so used to the engine breaking on my other bike that I didn't have to use them to often. this bike has a slipper clutch so it more or less freewheels when you let off the gas.
I really like the power the bike puts out. it's kinda calm low down and is not scary but above about 4500 rpms it wants to go. I got up to about 80 without realizing it, then slowed down people I've talked to says it'll top out around 130 or 140. I dont see doing that anytime soon :P ended up riding about a hunderd miles today though.
I think it'll take a while to get used to but I already would rather ride it than my supermoto.
One thing I really need to pay attention to, and I don't know why I'm like this, but I always think I have to ride as hard as I can. I caught myself doing it today. I think that's the biggest thing I need to work on.
That's all for now. probably will write a long entry tomorrow or something about everything else that's goin on. Now I'm off to clean up the red bike so I can go ride again tomorrow :P
laters
That is all....
this one I can kinda understand. It's still stupid though and would turn into a cluster fuck eventually.

I wanna see a real fish be caught on this though. I would say a one pound bass would pull this thing under the water and it would be gone forever.

Your result for Which Were Animal Would You Be? Test...
You are a Were-Wolf!
50% wolf, 20% rat, 20% horse, 50% tiger, 40% leopard, 30% fox and 40% bear!
Wolves are predators, but unlike many predators they are also pack animals. Legend has them as being the original were animal.
Wolves are very expressive. They have distinct faces they make that are easily read to show what they are thinking or feeling. They use facial and body language as well as yips and yowls to communicate exactly what they want.
Wolves are dedicated to their mates. They will groom each other, travel together, and sleep side by side. They also join their scents so that other wolves know that they are taken. Wolves in a pack protect one another.
As a were-wolf you will be on the hunt for as many as 20 miles, but you won't have to hunt alone.
anyways
