Recovery Time

July 27, 2005

Stitches come out today and I couldn’t be happier. Nothing sucks worse in the AM than having to take a shower with a freaking garbage bag wrapped around your leg. I’ll also find out what the hell a ‘planka’ is and if I can start rehab soon. Pumped, I tell ya! Not much going on otherwise. Gearing up for the snowboard trip. I’ve already gotten in touch with two mountains [...]

Post-Op Update

July 22, 2005

I arrived at the hospital at 7am this morning and was in a car on the way home by 11. I  couldn’t believe how quick it all went! Doc says that the back of my knee cap showed a lot of wear and tear, so they cleaned that up. They shaved down my cartilage, and also removed my planka (?). He had mentioned the planka before. I guess it’s a [...]

Unkown Desires

July 21, 2005

Have you ever wanted something, but not known what exactly is the object of your desires? I had that problem last night. I was in a piss-poor mood and I knew I wanted something, but couldn’t figure out what it was. It might be that I’m kind of upset with my career at the moment. Don’t get me wrong, I love what I do, but I feel like I’m never [...]

I received an email the other day from a girl who lived on my floor during my sophomore year of college. We were pretty good friends and hung out in the same group. We’ve been conversing back and forth the past few days and it kind of made me realize that I met a LOT of people over the last eight – wow, it’s been that long since I started [...]

My First Owned Cache…

July 11, 2005

(GC3D6) Ole Fish’n Hole on the Bay by CacheBina (owned by LBSurfer) Well, it’s not one that I initially hid (one of those should be coming soon – hopefully), but it is a great little cache that just needs some TLC. It needs to be replaced with a new container and some new goodies, but it’ll make for a great summer (or winter) cache. I’m really pumped to see how [...]

Family, Friends, Food & Fireworks

July 7, 2005

Well, the 2005 4th of July weekend is in the books, but it’s far from forgotten. What a great weekend it was. Veeco, in an unnatural act of kindness – I’m sure there was some other reason, but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt – gave us all Monday AND Tuesday off. A 4-day weekend! Let’s see if I can remember how all the debauche…err, fun, went. The [...]

Metal, Metal, Metal….

July 1, 2005

I was talking to a friend the other day about needing some music to throw on my iPod Shuffle for when I’m lifting. Given his affinity for metal, he put together the following list of must have metal albums. Without further ado, I give to you: JP’s 21 (cause 20 just isn’t enough) Must Have Metal Albums Powerslave – Iron Maiden If you need to ask why you need this [...]
