"Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum."

-Baz Luhrmann

Yes, I am still quite alive. I have given up facebook and AIM in hopes I can finally leave all the crap at home behind, and just focus on how great it is to be in New Zealand. Yep, so if you need me, you should have my e-mail address.

Nothing really all that exciting is going on lately, just plugging away and waiting for break to travel down to the south island to bungee jump, hike, maybe swim with dolphins, and all that good stuff with none other than Ms. Ashley Ryall. It should be a fun time, and I'm pretty excited. Not to mention I get to fly. I love flying, probably more than anyone else I know. Kind of strange.

I've been working on my book, sort of. I'm kind of just playing around with different layouts for it at this point. I'm not going to show you any of it just because I think pieces of art lose their impact if they are shown before they are done. But by the end of the semester I'll have a nice custom hard cover book all about triathletes.

I got a fairly bad sunburn from being at the beach for a while the other day. Oh well, I don't mind.

I finally got my eggbeater pedals here, and wouldn't you know it, within 5 mins of getting them on my bike, I got a flat. But the next day I purchased some patches and a new tube, then headed up to Makara Park to fool around for a while. Crashed a couple times, but a wise person once said "if you don't crash on a mountain bike, you're not riding terrain that's difficult enough for you." I may have screwed my knee up on one of those, or it was from running yesterday. Either way, it hurts a lot. I'll see how it feels tomorrow then maybe go see someone for it in the case it doesn't feel better.

That's about all from me. I'm going to get some food then head down to the pool to do some research/networking for my docu project. Take it easy everyone.
