Method Behind the Madness

These pretzels are making me thirsty? That's the title of my blog (and the title of my ipod) and you're probably asking yourself "wtf is that about". Well, let me clue you in. Ever since I was a wee lad I've been a huge fan of the hit television sitcom, Seinfeld. That show is just, yes. And just for the record, the character of George blows away Kramer, don't care what critics say. Anyway, there are lots of little blurbs in the show that reoccur throughout the life of the show, and only true Seinfeldians know what a lot of these blurbs are. "These pretzels are making me thirsty" is one of them. I remember seeing it for the first time with my dad, and we laughed for days about it and always say it to each other as an inside joke. But anyway, I found a short youtube video that displays some of the awesomeness behind this famous moment in Seinfeld history. 

It's been a while since my last post so I'll just do a run through of the current events in the life of colin. 

-drove down to tampa last sunday for a race. it was ridiculous. almost ran out of gas on the way there (I do this a lot). had to drive like, 90 mph to get there in time. got a flat tire on my rear wheel while warming up and had to borrow a wheel from someone. raced like a beast and only got 6th. that's a picture of me laying down some serious pain on the front. 

-totally went to this kickass show at house of blues on wednesday night. saw A DAY TO REMEMBER (soooooo good. myspace them) and THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA. it was totally sold out and jammed freakin' packed! I wore crocs and that was a horrible idea. next thing I know I'm crowd surfing to get out of the pit and my crocs fall off while I'm in mid-air. by the grace of god someone threw them to me and I caught them while being felt up by 100 people at once. that show was definitely one to remember though. going to shows bring me back to simpler times. just go and rock out and have a good time. 

-got a long overdue haircut from my good buddy, dirk. he cut mine, I cut his. it was beautiful. I was rocking a mop top for a while. it goes well with my mustache. 

-yeah that's all I feel like informing ya'll about. 

anyway, life's been so awesome lately. it seems like every day, awesome stuff happens to me and I constantly find myself asking "what are the chances". like the most obscure, random things ever. every day. it's so legendary. just makes me smile and enjoy life that little bit more. 

final thoughts:

-winter park, FL is the only part of central florida worth looking at. 

-less than a month left in this spring semester=CRUNCH TIME!

-I'm sitting in panera as I'm posting this. I'm wearing my obama shirt. I have gotten several supporting comments regarding obama and it makes me happy. finally, we have a leader that has the support of more than 30 percent of our country. 

Eat this not that

So I was in a local waldenbooks store today and to no surprise, they were going out of business. Everything was at least 40 percent off so I browsed around a bit and ended up making a sick find... Eat This Not That: Supermarket Survival Guide. This book is unreal awesome and actually useful. We all want to be healthier, right? Well this book pretty much gives you suggestions of ways to easily achieve that by just making better choices when buying groceries. But what I like most about this read is that it debunks all the bullshit marketing on all these packages these days. "WHOLE GRAIN POP-TARTS ARE HEALTHY!!!" bullshit. I'm just sad that it told me twix is the ultimate worst candy bar. twix is the only one with the cookie crunch...can't beat that cookie crunch. anyway, if you're ever in your local bookstore that hasn't gone out of business yet, pick up one of these books and take a look at it. it may just blow your mind. 

Holdin' it down for the underground

If you're ever feeling down, drink a monster and you'll feel awesome!

just putting that out there...

ok I'm just going to say this now...I'm not going to worry about using perfect punctuation in my blog postings. it's just a blog, who gives a phuck? I have to worry about that enough while I'm writing 13 page papers for my biology lab or what have you. and speaking of biology labs..I just turned in my 13 page lab report, final draft. I worked pretty damn hard on it, which is like the only thing I've worked hard on this semester that is related to school. but I definitely expect something good to come out of staying up until 4:30 in the morning perfecting it..the weight is off of these shoulders fosho. I don't know what it is, but I just have so many other things I rather do than read about cell division in my biology textbook. I totally went to Panera today to kill time between classes, hoping to study. I end up having coffee with a friend, sharing great conversation for two hours. no studying at all took place, but I think I spent my time wisely. and that's another thing.. some people throw around the term "best friend" too loosely when in reality it just seems that them making time for you is an inconvenience. soooooo sorry to be a burden, right? we're all guilty of this, just try and make it right. a scholar once proclaimed "we all make mistakes, but it's how we address them that proves whether we are assholes or not". yeah I totally made that one up, could you tell? 

anyway, I drank a few beers tonight in celebration of a few things: finishing that lab report, having a sick block of riding/racing like champ recently, and for just being legendary, so this post has been kind of fun. I might be drunk again and do this all again soon. hope you enjoied it. 

blog?

Yeah, so I made the leap and finally created my own blog. I have some pretty awesome thoughts in my day to day life and I figured maybe someone out there in cyberspace would enjoy reading them from time to time. When I'm out on my bike for four hours, just pedaling, my mind can come up with some pretty crazy scheize. Or when I have a break between classes and I just sit with a cup of coffee and people-watch.. I think I see some pretty funny shit worth posting about, maybe. Anyway, check back from time to time, be entertained, who knows, have a laugh? Enjoi
