long time no blog
Sep 16th
well, well, well…. long time since i blogged. it’s be a wild few months but ill try to wrap them up fast. After 8 years or so i finally moved out of medway and i now live in Brighton. I’m really happy with the apartment, it’s location and everything about my new place.
I had been talking with a girl from LA for about a year on and off and then we started to get closer, and long story short, after a drive cross country she is living with me.
There have been many ups and down, highs and lows in the last few months but in general things have been great. It’s not all roses and ponies and candy but things are changing for the better.
the new
Nov 12th
This is my last week of PT, according to my insurance company. It’s been really helpful and i have come a long way since day one. I change insurance companies on december 1st so i may be able to go back. I see my knee doctor on Monday so we’ll see what he says. I’m getting a trainer for my mountain bike today or tomorrow so ill be working out at home. Also with the insurance i get reimbursed for gym memberships so i plan on joining one asap. Sitting around not riding or doing anything that active is taking its toll on me. i’ve been spending a lot of time playing video games, which is fun but don’t want to be a fat ass that only does that all day. Luckily i haven’t really gained weigh since the surgery.
San Fran and Cleveland
Mar 6th
quick update, sorry i have been slacking. I went to San Jose for a Conference and then to San Francisco to see my David and Molly. I got really sick while i was there, which is very weird for me cause i don’t get sick or sick for me is puking for 24 hours… so the flu is very weird to me.
I had so much fun with David and Molly, I miss them a ton. We had some great food and they showed me around the city. We did some shopping too. San Francisco is a beautiful city and i cant wait to go back and see them as soon as I can.
I have done two big bike things in the past few weeks. I went to the TARAJAM at Rye which was a benefit for a rider who broke her neck last season, tons of big pros came out and it was a great time.
Then last weekend I went to Ray’s MTB Park in Cleveland. That place is just plain amazing. I had such a great time and i think it really helped my riding. I have no pictures from either which sucks but i rode for like 10 hours at ray’s… so the riding is worth more to me then pictures.
Erin and I are officially dating… I’m still super scared about the whole thing but I can’t live my life in fear. I have to try things and try to work through my issues. So far things have been really good and I’m happy…. which i haven’t been a lot in the last few months.
handlebar plus face = ouch
Aug 2nd
2 weeks ago today i messed up trying a new trick, and i smashed my handlebars into my cheek. the photo’s are up on flickr (see block of photo’s to the right). My eye, cheek and nose are 100 times better now. today I’m going back to the skate park and I’m gonna have to try to land it again.. fingers crossed.
Here is one last pic of my face about 5 days after i went to the ER.
I Grill…. alot
Jun 19th
killer weekend. dropped $65 at the hilltop butcher shop and i grilled. I grilled so much. I had a great time with my girl and her family. I made them all fall in love with me through my grilling. apple chicken sausage, kung pow chicken, spicy steak tips, hot dogs, burgers… so good.
I went to the beach for the first time this year. It was alright… water, cold!!!!
I went for a 6 hour+ street ride in boston. i rode all over the city but i didn’t really land any cool tricks. I need more practice riding street, which is why I’m going out tonight.
