Bloggerific!

Well I was going to complain about others lack of others blog posts for me to look at when I'm bored... but then I would be a hypocrite and that would be bad... supposedly. So in order to remind you that I do like looking at your blogs and to write them I'm going to write one (If you mention the fact that I hardly ever blog and should blog more often your complaint will be ignored :)

2 stories for you alls.

Because it was Angela's birthday on Saturday, Angela and the parents went down to the "Bosque del Apatche" wildlife refuge. That made it easy for me to drive up and meet them. Though I was not particularly enthused about the idea of staring at birds I did want to see my family and get free well made food. The food was great and so was the pie. The birds were....well... flapping/sleeping/doing birdy things. Though the Harris hawk was cool. So Dad and I added to the list of birds that we saw :

Balding Birds
Flip-Flappers
Saltine Quackers
Scooters
Hooters
Birds that Pray
Heavy Lift Cranes
Honkers
Squawkers
Bobble-heads

.... I think there was more but i can't remember them. It was fun... though i was REALLY tempted to run at some of the birds screaming to scare them but I bet the "serious" bird watchers would have been mad.

Anyways onto today..
I usually walk to campus... it's not far and good to walk, but I forgot my book so i hurried home. I grabbed my bike to go back as it's faster. It has been a long time since I've been on my bike and I'm a bit out of shape. Coming back to the apartment there was another guy on his bike riding the same way I was... well I couldn't be outdone by him (1st mistake) so i sped up and passed him. Well I couldn't show that the whole reason i sped up was to pass him so i had to maintain my speed (2nd mistake) I didnt want to look back to see where he was, cuz he might know i was just trying to show off.. so I didn't know if he was following me so i continued on my speed (3rd mistake) Traffic was particularly bad and there were so many people watching....so i still didn't slow down (4th mistake) as I got close to home away from the busy streets I saw ahead of me another biker, who glanced back and saw me.... well I can't slow down now! (5th mistake) i got to my apartment.... and about died trying to carry my bike up the stairs! Pride CAN KILL! It's true! Good news is that i beat my record coming from Jett Hall to the apartment :)

Well have fun everyone! Keep those posts coming! (unless you have a good excuse.. then blog about the excuse!)

PS. Jenny can i get sparkler pictures from you? Please?
