summer so far

so summer has been awesome. other than not having money im doing just fine. i still need a job and it feels like money is blood for me (if i dont have it ill die!) but i get by with a little help. been biking and running a lot, doing the 24 hour run alumni team next thursday and im going to die. thats all there is to it, plain death. so ive been trying to get up early (sometimes it works) and do some runs. been pretty consistent with the biking though. took a Tour de Elgin solo today and wanted to go further but i had no idea where the trail went when there were detours in downtown elgin. also to note; elgin is a really nice place, bunch of benches by the river to sit down at and really nice scenery. the Tour was about 30 miles but i did fine other than the fact that my eyes started to hurt because of the wind and my gouch was torn apart from the rock solid seat. i need to name my bike. maybe itll be "KW" or something because i put that Key West sticker on it. we'll see if any name rises naturally.

went to the CL bars for the first time tonight. celebrated the going away of ashley powell to her new home in colorado. the friends are starting, and now that i think of it have never stopped, moving away. thats the way things are. you just got to find someone to stick on to. it was a good time in down town CL though. i was DD so i didnt really kick back as many as you might say miskell or even fogerty... hahaha. he was a mess. putting his feet on the table at georgios is just an example. oh well, he was a good topic of conversation.

im loving the show The Office more and more each day. watched a bunch of episodes at mals house and tried my best to hold back that bursting/humiliating laugh i have when i cant control it. then i watched the season finale tonight which, by the way, was an hour long (sweet) and felt like i was a character. thats how personal it was. oh lordy.

planning on heading to naperville with some bros saturday. its going to be a night of pure juicing at the summerfest that they are having. from my history with the fest (that being one year) it should be a great time. really looking forward to yelling out random obscenities at the fireworks again
