Well Hello

Ok Ok So I really suck at this whole blog thing. The truth is, I don't really have a whole heck of a lot that goes on in my life. I go to work I come home and usually watch a couple television shows and then go to sleep. My life is kind of boring.
Something interesting did happen the other day. So, Lauren and I went out to dinner and afterwards we went to see a movie at Jordan Landing. Well last fall we did the same thing and parked on the sidewalk behind one of the stores to keep my bike out of the way and so that it wouldn't get crushed in the parking stalls by some moron who shouldn't be driving abyway. So when we were finished with the movie, it was now 12:30 in the morning, the last time it was in the afternoon. We came out and there was a boot, well not really a boot but it was a lock that went through my tire preventing me from moving and the last time this happened it was a bike lock which I almost broke through trying to drive away, I couldn't see that I was locked up. Well i called the number on the little sticker that they gave me. The whole time while I was waiting for this little pimple popper to come and unlock my bike I tried to keep a cool head. So sure enough 2 minutes later some little dork turns the corner and I could just see it is his face, "Oh crap, why did I have to lock up that bike." He came over and looked at him and said, "So do you wanna unlock my bike." He looked back and told me that it would be 50 dollars to unlock it and I said that it was illegal for him to lock up my bike without having a sign that states that I cannot park there. He kind of looked at me and tried to make up some more excuses and I shot them down with more LAW quoting, it's really funny to quote laws to people they don't know how to react. Well, in the end he started to fumble and then said, "Well, I wasn't really gonna charge you anyway I am just doing what I'm told to do. Then he tried to be my buddy and talk about the Jazz. Funny little goof. Lauren was very irritated at me. I just laughed th whole way home, and yes I will continue to park on the sidewalks until the make me a motorcycle parking, which technically they have to or they can't tell me I can't park on the sidewalk, kind of a double bladed sword. Or, the tow my bike, which I have yet to see happen.
I started to ride my bike to work today. It is in some bad shape. Tires out of alignment and gears not shifting correctly. It works though and I have some of the those egg beater clipless pedals. That's kind of funny, Clipless pedals that are clipped into, ha ha ha. Well it is about 2 and a half miles from work and takes me about 10 minutes to get there, about the same in a car. It's also downhill, which makes the ride home even worse. It's nice to be out and getting exercise though my pulse rate has gone down and so has my blood pressure, so now my heart might not blow up. I am also wearing shorts for the first time in years. My legs should get really tan, hopefully.
The garden is coming along all I have to do now is rake in some nitrogen and make rows then I can plant. I am so ready to get this whole thing started so that I can get my yard going. It needs some severe help. Ok now I am not really talking about anything important so i guess I am finished.

For the Longest Time!!!!

Ok so I'm not doing as well as I would have hoped to be doing with this whole blog thing. Ok quick recap. Finals are over, although it was extremely pointless to even attempt to take the classes over. I am sure that I failed them the second time around. This school thing is very difficult especially not being able to fully be in the classroom. Most of the time my body is there but my mind takes a vacation. hopefully my teachers can understand all of this and maybe help me out. I have started full time at the Western Gardens, I love it there it is so nice to be able to do what I want and fully comprehend what is going on. I understand the whys and the whats it's amazing. I am starting to get a little worried that with working all the time I won't have time to accomplish the things around my house that I want to accomplish. I need to kill off the grass and then put in a sprinkling system. THEN I need to reseed the grass and do all the landscaping in the yard. It's quite a bit of work but hopefully I can find the time.
The garden work really starts this week. I am going to go over and start to REALLY clean up the plot. Then I will plow it all and add the amendments. Then I need to dig the trenches and get everything ready to plant, all before Memorial Day. My knowledge is beginning to grow by leaps and bounds, while working there. I have learned so much and I just can't seem to get enough. I have started to come up with more ideas for my yard as well. I think that I have finalized all of the plans in my head, now I just need to put the ideas into full use. I am hoping that my ideas will turn out cool. I am starting a Bonsai Club and our first meeting will be this Saturday at my house. Hopefully everyone coming over can overlook my yard and focus. Well when you go for so long without writing everything begins to get all jumbled together so when you try to write about it later you can't seem to get everything together. So I will end for now and hopefully get better at the whole typing thing.
