Ever have one of those tough dreams? You know, the kind that leaves a strange anxiety when you wake and you can’t quite remember what the hell you were dreaming about?
I had one of those dreams last night except I remember it vividly. If you ever wake up with that strange ache in the back of your head, do yourself a favor and try to forget.
Dreams only serve to taunt, to show us what could have been, never should have and never will.
‘Tis all.
I’ve been working a lot this summer. 40 hours a week to be exact. It’s been a good experience so far, good co-workers, interesting work but nonetheless, tiring as hell. If anything, all this work has shown me how humdrum life can be and I think it is time to add a little something more to the everyday.
I’ve settled upon purchasing a Kawasaki Ninja 250R at the end of summer/beginning of the fall semester. I’m currently looking at MSF courses and affordable gear. I chose the 250R because I am into bikes more for their incredible ability to dominate the curves rather than their outright speed. (Though it does not hurt.) With a bike, every corner is an opportunity to hit the apex. Yum.
Of course with riding, comes the risk. There is a saying that everyone will drop their bike and go down. It is most definitely one of the most dangerous hobbies one can take up. I will do everything I can to minimize the risk, but it is always there. I am a firm believer in defensive riding and will always have ALL of my gear on – no matter how hot it is outside.
Perhaps for many, this is a risk that is just plain stupid. But for myself, and many others like me, there is nothing quite like the mechanical perfection of motorsport. The freedom and excitement it brings is worth the risk and will continue to bring joy and passion to our lives.
So, please watch out for bikers out there. =)

Today was the first day of 4 of the san diego trip. First of all, the Virgin America flight was great. They had live television, games and get this – chat rooms on the plane. You could just chat with anyone on the plane based on their seat. To me, that was crazy.
We’re staying at the Sophia, which is a great place here in downtown san diego. Overall, the place is nice and quaint, but a bit small.
Tonight, we took a cruise into the middle of the bay to see the fireworks display. It was as you would expect, slow, patriotic, but a good time.
Tomorrow, we plan to head to the wild animal park to see how things are there. For now, it is off to sleep for me. I hope the long islands don’t affect me in the morning.
I’ll try to get picture posts to work tomorrow.
‘Tis all.
