its official... lance is the man...
but ne ways,
summers been a bitch. I was hoping for one of those fun, everyone hangs out at the beach, getting drunk under the moonlight night, sleeping till two pm, being a whore kinda summers. Hasnt been like that at all. I find myself bored and lonely. The job is good, i dont get enough hours, which in turn doesnt pay the bills, which in turn leaves no money to spend on a good time. Which in turns makes out for a shitty summer. I remember when my parents didnt want me to get a job so i "could enjoy my teenage years." Now oddly enough im being urged to try and find more hours and maybe even a second job to help out with the bills. Its depressing when i cant do the things i use to before. I always have to pass on goin out to eat with the friends cuz i cant even afford a measly $10 meal. I give em the usual, "sorry i gotta work," or "im not feeling to well" sorta excuses. I hate all the people that say money doesnt buy happiness... well hell no it doesnt... but it definetly makes life A LOT easier. Even tho i am a broke ass dude... i always find a way to put some money into my cycling hobbie. I dont know how i do it (maybe cuz i took out a grand in loans to pay for it) but riding is definetly worth every penny.
Well school is starting up again soon... im friggen excited... i get to see all my gvsu buds again. haha believe it or not i miss rowing, but in my financial slump, i might have to leave the team so i have more time to study and make money to pay my loans off. Besides, crew is so demanding, i dont think my body can handle it this year, and lately my health has taken a dive. But we'll see. its still only july.
But until then im waiting for my big break. Nothing ever gets handed to me... so hopefully some drunk will hit me while im on my bike, and i'll call sam... and i'll get this huge settlement... and then i can pay off my loans, help my mom out with hers, then buy a descent car and a decsent bike lol. sounds retarded. but i can only dream.
