keepin up with the joneses

yeah... i wonder if i'm getting too many updates up or not, but it is a VERY laid back week this week... students seem to be in short supply, and those that are around are not the kind who need help...

anyway - i feel some what placated that gwadzilly double or tripples my entry numbers... heck even SB came out of hiding and got an entry up... i should applogize or explain - i'm not trying to one up ya about the swimming... i just suck at it too and avoid it at all costs... i like bein on the water - in a boat what not... just not swimming... unless its to get to a rock out in the sun in a nice quiet lake in Maine in the heat of the summer... and i'm not alone...

A freaky link popped up... and in light of the fact that my car has been violated both in front and back by drivers since getting out here... its rather not suprising to read this from CNN:
dumb_driver_states

I can't get the idea of Chocolate milk outa my head... as a recovery drink. Its no secret, part of my Quality Dairy or Scott Stop (michigan) was getting Choc Milk, donuts or little debbies... its a strange miracle/testament to my metabolism that i only topped out at 235 pounds... and not something like 280 like i should have eating that junk... but chocolate milk... there's good stuff and not so good stuff. I'm itch'n to try the stuff in the returnable glass bottle at the Tiffany of grocery stores (wholefoods)... looks like it would taste good...

It is one area i need to focus on if i am to take this training bit more seriously - the carb/calorie intake post effort. E.Marro is right... i do need to go back to putting something more than water in my bottles... not sure if chocolate milk is the best, however... one chocolate milk, on water... might not be so bad... esp since baby cows live on milk... and cows have lots of muscles...

So i had grabbed some lunch at Antonios on Thayer street.... pulled out a scrap of paper and a pen... and started scribbling (writing):

Thayer Street
My little bro is right, Antonios is the best for people watching. So i sit here making unintelligable scribbles on a peice of paper, stuffing slices in my face watching the crziness cruise past. Some dude with a 'quickpad' on the right - very curious why the hell would anyone purposefully drive down Thayer? I can't understand, sure drop/off pick/up. The craziness low # of ipods is intersting, not many more than those on phones and that's not that many today, but the flat out hotties is crazy. lots of parents here for graduation and what. so many unfit though. flabby saggy frumpy suprisingly almost no fake boobs - the preppy boys are the funniest. Enduring the ridicule of movie makers. The number of stripped polo shirts and quaffed hair and looks of utter distain on their face (two lines of undeciferable scribble). Only in an ivy campus will that strange breed survive - and that ain't a good thing... or is it

Okay - that folded scrap of paper is headed to the recycle bin - at least it was a re-used bit of scrap...

it is a curious phenomenon how crazy kept poppin up in my head writing that. And from the looks of it re-reading it back i KNOW there were 10x more bits i wanted to add... the punk chicks walking back and forth, that and the caste system is alive and well, at least on Thayer street. The haves and the have not as much are glaringly obvious... Time to que up Working Man on the iTunes... the live recording from All the World's a Stage album... I meant to bring my nearly complete collection of Mighty Mighty Bostones in and get em ripped onto the computer... Among the shops upstairs from the bike shop in lansing was Flat Black and Circular, a used music store... it was NOT a good place with cash in pocket... and over the years is a big reason i have nearly every album from certain bands (Pouges, MMB, Black 47...) up until say 1999. Unfortunately the Pogues won't be makin any more it looks like, and to think i had the opportunity to get to one of their last concerts in the US, in boston no less... but i passed... how STUPID?????

We'll see if i manage a post in the next few days... doubtful, but ya never know... be safe where ever your travels take ya this weekend...

peace
