This morning, as I previously mentioned, I was in a very foul mood. I wanted to have nothing to do with the world. And then I got on my bike. With each methodical revolution my feet made around, my mood was becoming more elevated. With each deep breath I took to relieve the pressure in my straining lungs, [...]

Nope.
I hate you, Nebraska. You are the bane of my existence. If you were swallowed up by the Earth tomorrow, it wouldn’t be soon enough. F*ck you Nebraska. I hope you rot in Hell. You frustrate me so much, I want to pull my hair out every time I think about you.

Tomorrow I head back in to work. yeah. I know work will be crazy busy, and I will go back in refreshed, but I really like being home. Who doesn’t though, right? Vegas was nice. I enjoyed seeing my family. Sadly, the weather was crappy pretty much the whole time I was there. Here are [...]
