Yahh, I didn't do much that day. All I really did was finish organizing some pictures and tagging them using Adobe Photoshop Elements. I got a text from Anthony later on that day about going to the gym and playing some basketball at eight that night. I got there just on time. The thing was, that I was the first one there. Matt eventually showed up, but that was after I'd already benched, dumb bell benched, and shoulder pressed. Eventually, about twenty minutes later, Anthony, Geoff, Amanda, and Briana showed up. In the basketball court, the usual Wednesday night pick up games were going on. Matt decided to join in early while the three of us: me, Geoff, and Anthony just shot some hoops while we waited for Matt. After two pickup games, all of us decided to play as a team along with another person. We lost both games pretty badly actually. It's ok though, I was looking to get a good workout out of it. I did. I didn't get home from the gym till almost midnight. Amanda and Anthony invited me to go to some $0.95 breakfast some place was promoting. Since I got home from the gym so late, I basically slept in and didn't wake up.
That next day, I woke up around 11. I didn't do much, yet again, except stay on the computer finishing up some stuff. During that time, I finished the WaterWorld compilation video from the other day. Later on that day, Brian picked me up to try and play some basketball at the gym. We ran into a huge problem though. Brian ended up not being able to get in because they found out that he had already had a trial membership. Shoot, if we would've known that, Brian would've never said anything about that. So what ended up happening instead was that we dropped by Keva Juice to pick up a drink for Brian. After that, we just dropped by Border's and Target to check out on some stuff. Nothing much really happened after that. We ended up just chilling at my house for a short while just sitting there before we basically called it a night. Yep, these past couple of day really sucked. Really really sucked.
Whelps, I'm three days late with a blog entry for a reason. If you haven't noticed by now, I don't write any blogs up when there hasn't been anything going on. Nothing will be up till that next highlight shows up. And it pretty much did today. The other two days were pretty lonely. With the exception of a Myspace comment or message or two and some texting between a few others within the span of those first two day this week, the loneliness meter's been hot that whole time. So what ended up happening during those days, I stay at home the whole time. Sunday though, I took a bike ride to the gym and Border's to research some material up. Regardless, I pretty much stayed in my room most of the time. Sad. I was on the computer most of the time too. And when I look back at it, I got a lot of work done that was on my little to-do list before I head up to Denver. That whole download the whole internet thing's been going well so far. When I get the chance, I'm finally going to be able to start backing the TV Shows I've been downloading to DVD's. It'll be sweet because I learned how to make my custom DVD's look cool and everything lol. When I said I got a lot finished, that was part of it; the whole download the internet deal. Also, I got pretty far with the whole tagging my personal pictures thing. I probably got more than a thousand tagged between those two days and at the same time, added even more untagged oldies from picture albums and such.
The same thing basically happened the next day as well. I sort of had plans that day with Dollar Twenty Five Scoop and such. Good thing that still went through with thanks to Jon joining me. Before I went to Dollar Twenty Five Scoop, I biked to the gym to do my back/bicep workouts for the day. Once I finished, I started to bike back to the Cheyenne Mountain Plaza. On the way, I stopped by Border's, as usual, to do some more casual reading and researching. Jon called me while I was there. So with that, I headed down to Baskin Robbin's to meet up with Jon for one last time before he heads out to Oregon with his fam. Hanging out with Jon for that time pretty made my day. And that really concludes the happenings for the past three days. Lame huh ??
So pretty much, nothing really happened the past 3 days except for two things.
1. I went out to eat with Kristie, Joy, and Darlene at Macaroni Grill, then went and hung out at her house along with Matt, Nick, and Keanan.
2. I went to climb the Pike's Peak Incline with Darlene and Joy.
Everything in between's not really important to tell you the truth. All that really happened was that I did a lot of biking and going to the gym. Well at Radioshack at the Cheyenne Mountain Center, I bought a 32 in 1 multimedia card reader so I can finally make use of my 4 gb SDHC card that's been sitting in my room for like ever since my computer doesn't read SDHC's and my Lumix camera doesn't support it. Other than a lot of downloading to stock up for entertainment for when I'm in college (and I'll get more into that later), nothing really new has been happening to me.
Yahh, so the Monday after the Independence Day Weekend started really early for me, but late for some lol. I woke up around 10 that morning and called Jon to confirm our plans for that day, which was racquetball at Fort Carson at noon. Around 11:30 to a quarter till, I started biking up to his house to carpool with him along with Darlene and Keanan. When we arrived there, pretty much all of us were rusty for some odd reason. We were like missing the "gimme shots" and what not. Eventually though, we all shook off the rust and began playing some intense games. The most intense I had that day was playing one on one against Keanan in back to back games. There were several times during the game where the score stayed the same because the possession of the ball kept switching back and forth. After three hours of hardcore racquetball, we went out to Taco Bell to grab some lunch, special thanks to Mrs. Pugh. From there, we went back to Jon's house to hang out for a while. That basically concluded that night.
The next day was basically dull and boring to me all the way till I got outta the gym. I didn't leave my house till about 4-5 that afternoon to bike to the gym. I got outta there around 6:30 to meet everyone up at Baskin Robbin's for the usual Dollar Scoop. When I got there, I didn't notice the news till I actually got in line. There was no more Dollar Scoop. Starting that day, they changed to $1.25 Scoop. How freakin' lame is that !? Yahh, it really got me heated. I mean, first they freakin' raised the price of the Tuesday special at Popeye's gradually from $.89 to a whopping $1.19. But now they had to change the price for freakin' Dollar Scoop ?!? *Sigh* Well thank goodness I'm heading out of this atrocity come next month. From there, I can probably find a new place to treat myself. Anyways, after eating some ice cream, people wanted to hang out, but I was sorta in a cookie cause I had my bike with me. Thanks to Jeff though, I was able to carpool with him along with my bike, Nick, Jason, and Keanan to go to Fortuna to meet up with Amanda, Kailaini, and Briana. I didn't really eat anything there cause I was trying to save some money, but the others did. Once we finished up eating, we basically dropped my bike off at home then Steven, Nick, Keanan, and I all went to the Antiques Billiard Museum to play some pool. And eventually, Robert, Ed, and Ray came up there as well.
I didn't really get up to do anything till like noon. Around 1 or 2, I finally got my ass up to go to the Old Town Bike Shop in downtown on Tejon to go fix up the gear cable on my bike. It was pretty sweet to look at the different types of bike that they had. I learned a lot from looking around at that shop. Basically to have a quality bike, you're gonna need to drop some big bucks on it. To sum everything up about bikes, titanium framed bikes>steel alloy bikes. Anyways, the repair guy did a great job repairing my bike. The service there was great and everything; I recommend going there if anything happens to your bike. Well after I got home, I ate a tuna sandwich and I packed an extra "triple stacked" tuna sandwich for dinner on the go. So after, I left to go bike to the gym and get a quick weights workout.
I wanted to go on base on my bike to go meet up with Jon and Jeff, but as I was approaching the B Street Gate, the sign basically concluded that they would not let me in without a safety reflector vest and a bicycle helmet. So what I ended up doing was biking all the way back home to go grab my car. I thought I was going to be late meeting up with them like usual. Fortunately though, they were the ones late because Jeff left his ID lol. We ended up going to the Waller Gym since the other one we usually go to closed earlier. The racquetball court there was slightly different compared to the other gym's. The ceiling was higher and the walls seemed closer. Like the first game we had seemed really frustrating because everything for me was going too long in my serves. After a while though, I started to kill it. After that day of racquetball, I started to really like this game a lot. I mean, I can finally say that this is much easier compared to tennis now lol.
When I got home, Julie and I went back to Fort Carson to watch some firework near the park formally known as Iron Horse Park. The fireworks were pretty nice from the view that we had. After those 20 or so minutes of fireworks, we drove to Giane's to meet the others up. We missed a huge event though at Tinseltown. So something happened I guess with the movie Hancock, so they started to give away free tickets. Maybe I should've went and got some lol. Well after sitting around trying to figure out what to eat, Giane, Mav, and I went to King Soopers to go pick up some candies and pizzas and fruit punch while Julie, Kevin, Alex, Steve, and Art stayed at Giane's. When we got back, we watched an episode or two of In Living Color while the food was cooking. When the pizza got done, I ended up eating about six or seven slices haha. Well we finished the movie watch the movie 23 with Jim Carrey.
Nothing really happened at all till later that night. Before that, all my ass did was bike everywhere, from Target to Border's to 24 Hour Fitness. I thought I was gonna head to Fort Carson's gym that night, but yahh, that plan for me tanked. So I chilled at the house watching movies feeling tired as hell. Eventually though, around 9:30, I was convinced to get my ass up and go out.
We all went to the Mendoza's house to, I guess, "practice". Hah, that turned out well. After 10 minutes of practicing for them, we ended up watching the big screen. After watching Saw 4 streamed from my phone, we ended up just watching a whole bunch of crap from YouTube, streamed again from my phone. The highlight of the night was when we watched "2 girls and 1 finger", "2 kids in a sandbox" and the infamous "2 girls and 1 cup". Haha.
