Back pain and pizza

today was supposed to be a self-emposed can-o-whoop-ass but turned into a cry fest for my aching back!

I think I know the culperate, and that would be my 120mm stem that needs to be reduced to 100mm . It may also be the negative 6 degree angle that needs to be made into a zero degree angle. Could never bring myself to have positive rise.

also probably need to do some more stretching.

Good news, we had pizza in class tonight. Let my little fat kid in me out with 4 slices of cheap ass pizza.

Really need to figure out this back problem because races start in a month with first big challenge being Dawn till Dusk in little less than 2 months.

Time to get back to class.

What-a-shit.

Well right now my brain is almost fried because of all my writing for Grad school. It's bad because all I want to do is the minimum work and get out. I need a swift kick in the butt.

I'll be honest with y'all. Whenever I needed motivation for school, I would go to What-a-shit and do homework there. Reason being, I would look back and imagine myself flipping burgers and I don't want to flip burgers. Wrong....yes....effective...always.

Trying times

Been awhile since I stepped on my virtual soap box, but there have been some issues to deal with first.

Mainly right now I have sick grandma who has been in the hospital for about the past week and things are bleak right now. However, things do look to be turning around and maybe she could get out of here within the next week or so.

So what has been up with me?

Well currently I am at a cross roads because I have been accepted to ride for Team CF. Though when I saw the jersey for the first time a lead weight sank in my stomach. Not because of the design, but for the amount of times the Big Red S is presented. A total of 10 time for jersey and bibs!

WTF!

For those that don't know, I loathe the Big Red S because their bikes are not better than Jamis', Scott's, or Siren's. All they do is spend a shit ton of money on marketing and let the little guys innovate for them. Although that is good business strategy, it still is a douche move in my opinion.

And that brings me to the cross road of selling my soul to ride for a cause I believe in. I believe in riding for a cure for CF, because my brothers have it. I do not believe in show casing a company I do not believe in. All of this makes me think that I will not sign, and continue with the privateer gig. I mean it's not like they were going to pay for anything, I just get to buy a jersey for cheaper price.

If you hadn't heard the weather in Lubbock has been the shit (bad kind) for the past two weeks, and has meant for little riding time. But, the weather looks to be turning around now and should lead to much more riding as long as the school work gets done first.

So how is school?

Well I learned that Hell is just a giant data entry for a meta-analysis, and I don't want to go there! The department still cant make up their mind about whether to allow graduate students to produce research projects instead of thesis works. Funny because it's a ton less work, and it helps professors get published more. Though when has TTU ever done something smart?

Well I don't plan on leaving people in the dark for more than 2 or 3 days, but sometimes it happens.

Rubber side down till next time.
