Just thought I would post this for all to see!
My good buddy Phatboy greeted my quick post with the following:
quote:
How ya doin? Are you still the head of that science publication that you started? Are you in school?
--And the great TC speaketh!: Hey hey! Doing good. Technically.. yes I am still the head of that organization. Unfortunately, through 2 attempts--althought the second progressed further than the first--I was never able to establish it well enough to survive. However, I may give it another shot some time--possibly during the summer when I have more time. I am currently a freshman on the USF campus (albeit, visiting my parents for the holidays..) studying toward a BS in Geology (surprising isn't it!).
Various interests and recent events complicate my availability to do all the things I would like to do.. For instance, early this last November, I had summed up significant profits from my business and was able to buy the best toy a person could ever have!
--1100 cc's and 165 horses of madness.
--Unfortunatelly however.. Nearly inherent to the human conscience (as I should have known..indeed people had warned me about this scenario many-a-time before)..after flying down the interstate at 165 mph with 60 other bikers.. there is the subconcious tendency to get a bit over confident in handling the bike.. subconceously I was convinced I had "tamed the beast".. and a beast it was.. so then after making a U-turn and climbing from 5 to ~80 mph in approximatly 3 seconds, I had to break.. hard.. and lost traction. Took a hard spill and my new gorgeous bike, after 8 days and about 700 miles, went from looking like the above to what you see below in an instant:
--That would be me in the white quicksilver shirt, hunched over gazing at the depressing remains of $6500.
--But hey! No worries! Once a biker, always a biker. I have seen the light, and come February, the next one will be black!
--Edit--And of course.. Merry Christmas! And for those of you who believe my username to be a complete oxymoron--happy holidays, enjoy getting off work!
