no more boredom

so the basis of this blog was to take the boredom i experienced day to day, find the things that most people would think were normal, and run them through my oh so random brain to make them somewhat funny. since school has taken my life by the balls, i don't really go through much boredom anymore. HOWEVER, my life is about to take a pretty serious turn because i'm turning my back on the systematic "get a job right out of college" plan. my plan is to train really really hard in the spring, race really hard and frequently, then after i graduate, keep racing next summer and training 30+ hours/week and hopefully make it up to cat 2 by the end of the summer, and be looking for a team starting the following spring. people tell me i'm talented at cycling, i love it, and according to a coach i saw this summer, i'm physically built well for the sport. it's scary knowing that i'm not going to the fall career fair on campus tomorrow where i could potentially get a job that'll pay well, pay for a house, food, whatever else i need and instead focus on something where i have a very slim chance of success and won't be making much money. i say screw it though. life isn't about getting a job and making money. it's about living. i'm happiest when i'm on my bike, even when it's already my job. even on nights at work where i can't feel my hands or my feet, there's nothing i would rather be doing. even when i'm high up in the mountains, can barely turn the pedals over and my heart rate is through the roof, there's nowhere else i'd rather be.
