Tour de Louisiana Friday, Jun 11 2004 

As I prepare for a the tour de Louisiana I must keep my head on straight. I will be coming home from one week on the road. I have legs and lungs right now I just need to make sure my head is clear. This is the first race I have done since I had my horrible premarital divorce. I am strong right now and I am keeping my head up even though I have started my rehabiltion. For now I am just riding and being healthy. (no smokes, good food and good people). It is amazing what a bad relationship can do to your lifestyle. It is equally amazing what a good one can do too.

Game summit Friday, Jun 11 2004 

I will be traveling throughout next week for Game Summit to show two plugins. I will be creating tutorials and preparing to teach on Tuesday. I am excited to go to Austin. I am not so excited about baltimore though.  I am absorbing information information at a rapid pace and am loving it. I love learning and creating new projects. After this week of traveling I will be home for over a month. I will get my collaborate project with Jonah off the ground.   

cycling Wednesday, Jun 9 2004 

I have held out as long as I can. It is time for who is who in the Tour de france this year. We all know Big Tex will be firing his guns. He only has one bullet left in his six shooter so he better be right on target to be six for six. I dont think he will have time to reload.

Right on his wheel is the holy crap Tyler Hamilton. If he doent break any bones or get a weird allergy he will be right on Tex’s ass. He is getting better and better.

Then there is ullrich. Can he do better than second place? I am not sure. I do know that he has the talent to do it. The question is does he have the heart.

oh Madison Monday, Jun 7 2004 

I went to Luther’s Blues Room last night for the Adobe party. I hate when a bar or restaurant tries to label itself as New Orleans or French Quarter. I stayed for one song from a horrible all white band play a U2 song. Me and a gentleman from Chicago looked at each other and simultaneously said “let’s get outa here”. I ended up at an Irish pub indulging in whiskey. I had a great time. I like this city for some reason. Maybe it is because there is no interstate here. It is located between two bodies of water so it is condensed into that area. Elvis played here back in the day. I have been trying to think of what he would have said in between songs while playing in Madison.

I need to go do my job and pack to come home tomorrow. I have this awesome room in the Marriot and nobody to share it with. I hope the people staying below me last night did not here me jumping on the bed. I just feel like if I don’t do something fun and crazy in this room it will go to waste. Tonight I am going to drink a bunch of water and see how far away from the toilet I can stand and still make it in.

Whoa! What a day! Sunday, Jun 6 2004 

lets see. dagger asked “why is there money all over the floor” I replied “if I quit throwing money she would quit dancing”. He was so hung over it appeared that he only spiked his hair in the back.
I was late to the airport, forgot my knife keychain in my pocket that I had to mail to myself if I didnt want to lose it. The plane was delayed thiry minutes due to a cluster of honey bees on the left wing just following there queen bee who just wanted to hitch a ride to chicago.
I arrived in Chicago to find out that Ronald Reagan died. I would like member him as a Hollywood cowboy rather than a republican president. Remember Reaganomics.
I arrived in Madison trying to hurry to my hotel for the 6:38 post time. I told the shuttle driver that I needed to watch the race and to step on it. He said “I want to watch it too but I need to make sure that all of you agree on this so I dont lose my job” everyone in the shuttle agreed and we hauled some minivan ass to the hotel just in time for post. I knew Smarty Jones was not going to win but I wanted him to. Just like the rest of the world I wanted to see Triple Crown sweep. I wanted this little underdog to do it. He fucking tried and he ran his little ass off, but just couldnt hold out the distance. I cant help but thinking about what is going through his head Does he know he came in second? This is the first time this horse has been defeated.

the momentum of being on the ball Friday, Jun 4 2004 

In the last two months I have ragained myself. The momentum has been increasing so rapidly that I cant keep up with my ideas. I want to do everything I feel I let pass me by in the last year. Churning expessions of art are flying in front of my eyes and all I can do is hope to catch one long enough to write it down. I am excited to be back. I want to contact all of my friends and let them know i am back but I dont think many of them knew that I was even gone.

A new blog and a new beginning Thursday, Jun 3 2004 

With this new blog on typepad I will post nothing of the past and strive to look only at the present and future. Things that are in the past will stay in the past.
I am preparing to go to Madison Wisconsin on Saturday to talk about new plugins. It will be nice to be away from New Orleans for a few days. It is only a 4 day trip so it doesn’t cause any complications. I will be breaking my cycling routine which has been my revived addiction. I will have over 200 miles in my legs from this week alone so 4 days off the bike will be good. I have a pool in the hotel so I can swim on my off the bike days. I will be building the design of this blog slowly as I am not overloaded with free time.
