(no subject)
i am struck again by another neck/arm cramp which makes it the 4th time this year that i've been forced to lay around for days being loopy on codeine and flexeril. i now take it as an occupational hazard that directly comes from drafting and rendering for interior architecture classes and working on my bike with the muscles i don't have. i started a new bike build, this one more for touring (it will include a basket!), and decided i am keeping the other one for road cycling. i even thought about getting a triathlon bike (yeah right) and so that quickly escaped my mind. so this weekend i won't be enjoying any time in santa cruz or oakland (lisa) but instead sitting up in bed finishing CAD homework.
my cabbie last night told me he had taken up architecture for a bit but decided it wasn't for him because it was for lonely people. i laughed! because maybe it is true. and damn that cab driver for bringing up the incessant theme of my life. in school you spend a lot of time alone at your desk. once you are finished with school and if you are exceptionally creative and work against The Man, like Louis Sullivan, you are outcast and deemed a nutter thus leading a lonely, but busy, life. let's hope i develop some better client/people skills for this one.
the one piece of advice i did leave his cab with was that my back problems stemmed from stomach problems, and if i worked out my abs i wouldn't have back problems. he was an old man with cabdriver wisdom so i said thanks and tipped him well. i need to work on my abs anyway so he kicked me into it.
