Skankin by Numbers!

So I'm soo pissed, I had this kickin post all neatly done up and tried to spell check it and up' there it goes erased into oblivion...last time i use the spell check. So this past weekend I went to Ska Fest at the University, and holy crap memory lane here we come! I remember going to a bunch of shows back in high school with my bro and my neighbor, crazy times. I swear my heart rate was pegged at 160 all night, because we be skankin it up like mad rude boys. The bands playing were Hired Geeks, Catch of the Day, Something to Do, and Umbrella Bed. I've only seen Something to Do before...ahh getting lost in Title-town, free pizza, 2 hours early, Rummy, kickin Mustard Plug show (Something to Do was opening). Infact as I remembered it S2D kind of sucked, but at this show they actually were the most notable, I guess that's what happens when you haven't seen them in 4 years.

I have some advice I'd just like to pass down the pipe. Granted this is old news, but lets face it we often don't heed our own advice. This morsel of knowledge is, "If it's not broke don't fix it." I came face to face with these realities when I decided to move my cleat position, because i thought that I was a little uneven on the spindles. So now i've effectively stripped a bolt because I adjusted and readjusted so much that it just gave way, and at the most inoprotune moment, while it was locked in a not quite right position. What did I learn? Well if your knees and hips don't hurt, don't move your cleats. I was all nice and adjusted to my position, and now i threw it all off, infact I had to put my MTB pedals on my CX bike cause I could ride with my cleats so fucked up. I guess we live and learn huh, hopefully though not at the expense of not having any knees when I'm 50.

So it's happened. I tryed to thwart the evils of the world and stay safe, but it has really happened. Swimming through this hazy of morning fog in my mind, I can't escape the brutle truth of it all...I'm all out of coffee. This coupled with the fact that I lost my debit card and had to cancel it, effectively prohibiting me to purchase more of Peace Coffee, has really put me in a bind. I haven't been overly cranky, but staying awake in class has become a chore. I've been tiding myself over with espresso, which came pre-ground espresso style cannot go in a french press but is good for a swallow of goodness, and tea--Honest Tea. Ah i love the name of it I kind of want to come out with a sister company called Subtle Tea. Geeky I know. So yeah tea and intermittent espresso.

Well I've been informed that I should study some mineral fomulas for my Min Pet II class, cause a quiz might be in the mix. Na0-1 Ca2 (Fe, Mg, Al, Mn..)5[(Al, Si)8 O22](OH)2 and (Na, K)[AlSiO5] are some goodies. I will give mad props to anyone who can Id these beotches. The gauntlet has been thrown down. WHAT'S UP NOW!!
