Divided Loyalty

"Your companions are like buttons on an elevator - they either bring you up or bring you down."
I really like that quote cause it's really true.

Recap from Thursday. Fail SF rendezvous
Woke up early that morning. Headed out to Mountain View for school. Flower Project was pretty fun.
Collected 30 flowers. i need 15 more. After it hit 11:15 i decided to call it quits and head home. Headed home then to SF.
Pretty wack really cause of the misunderstanding. Forgive & forget. Chill really, tested some shots inside the mall & around
downtown. Read some interesting things in Borders though, & i think i'll consider reading as a hobby now, i fell in love with it again.
Headed home after 5 hours in borders & just chilled at home.

Friday 4/24/09 the BBQ
Early morning again. Left the house around 11 & took the 11 30 train to mtn view. Took the VTA to Great Mall, took the 71 to Eastridge & then
the 39 to EVHS (Evergreen high school). Went all the way from home to visit Jansen, ha it was pretty cool, & just chilled, met Vy & Catherine, & some other people i forgot. We talked hella shit about ratface & wanted to kick his ass. Ha. Jansen's  mom picked us up & we rendezvoused with erika in the van. Headed
to Jansen's home, ate chicken & some fried chicken. Left for Jansen's Ortho appointment, hella quick. "What color?' "Teal"  We then dropped off
Erika at her house & then finally arrived at Jonathan's. No need to name all of em but it was the usual i saw at the Barbeque, chilled with Eric, Jimmy, & Alex though & taught me a few things about a fixie. Honestly my first time riding a fixie my size, i learned how to skid & sit skid all on the first day. Later on Jimmy & I went to pick up Kenny at Golfland, headed back, blah blah blah, just chillin and shit, then we Andrew had to leave so we did a little photoshoot at a park near Jon's. Went back & did a small break sesh. Fail at the sleepover. My Dad picked me up & everything was all good. Hyped.

Saturday : Fixie Building
Slept at 12 & woke up at 7 and couldn't sleep. Got ready around 9 ish & left the house around 9 30 to be at the mall around 10, went to borders to kill some time to wait for Sean, met at Rasputen around 11 & went to Performance first. Picked up the starbolt tool, spacers, & my front tire. Then headed to freewheel to exchange my cog & pick up some lube & rim tape. Then headed to Bike rev to pick up toshi straps & plastic toeclips, then my cap for the fork. Sean had to stop by Tim's to drop off the frame & such, we decided to eat but stopped by another freewheel to get the cups in for Tim's Frame. Headed to this Cafe, forgot the name but Tim's bro, treated me out, thanks bro. 3 pancakes, hashbrown, & a sausage, yum. Then headed out to OSH to buy some steel wool & brushes to paint the frame. Back to my house. Stripped, Rinsed, stripped, etc, primed, coated, painted, sandpapered. Then built. Bike was done around 9 & we wanted to eat Phu but my parents wouldn't let me go out, whatever really. Night time rides for the win.

Sunday. SkatexBike Sesh.
Another early morning, i hate this cold weather really. Vacuummed the house & washed the clothes before i left around 12. Parents wouldnt let me 
leave without a helmet, lights, & a lock, so we bought everything. Pretty happy really. Headed to Fernando & just practiced & just watched everyone play Skate. Jazer, James, Renjie, Gabe, Clinton, Shelbie, Jody, Kirk, Prince, Mikey, John, Anthony, Paulo, & John. Hella people. We then decided to leave 
to go head to Ben but 3 of all those people we didn't want them to tag along, so we made it seem like we're all heading out. Met near Ocean Grove and went down near Westlake. After at Ben, we decided to eat, Clinton, Shelbie, & I at 88 rice bowl. 4 spam wasubi's & a chocolate oreo smoothie. Met 3 new skaters, then shit started happening. When we arrived at Ben, a fast forward a bit but Shelbie & this girl got in a fight over John, who is Shelbie's ex. Popos came and everyone headed out, Renjie & i with John decided to go home, took the 120 to Daly City Bart & said our farewells there. Lonely night though. Thanks Catherine for keeping me company.

Today though
First day to school with the bike, pretty cool, have to wake up at 6 30 everyday now though. Today was damn pretty chill though. Lips hurt like fuck,
nothing new really except the sameold same old, 4 weeks till finals. FUCK. Time to just fucking get off my lazy ass.

My lips hurt like no other, & i know the only thing will heal this is vaseline
which i don't have, almost never have it & i know it's the only thing that'll work
i smile, but it hurts.

fail at no pictures cause i ran out of space on my flickr. sorry yo. I'll put em up after this weekend.
