You down with O.P.P.?

So, I'm finally about over this sickness. I've been feeling pretty rough this past week. Haven't done much of anything at all, although it's been nice... i am ready to workout and train for cycling and rugby. This post isn't going to be too long but i wanted to kind of tell you about how my last week got 10,000,000x's better on thursday:

After being so sick and being in bed for so long i rejoined society on Thursday morning during my 8AM class, which i didn't really want to go but went anyways. I felt like i had to. Thursday afternoon I ended up driving home to Knoxville and that was a rad choice. I had an amazing weekend there and really dug my whole weekend. had some down time and i loved that. I am sure you are starting to wonder what this has to do with my trip... well Thursday night once i got to Knoxville i got a Facebook Message from the owner of FC Pedaler, the shop i am getting my Bike from, that said my bike had shipped from Marin in California. So get excited for me because i was and am beyond excitement. I can't wait.

My bike should be in Knoxville by Wednesday and It's getting some work done to it all next week and i am hoping to be in the saddle by last week of the month. I can't wait. The long awaited arrival of this bike has been driving me crazy and i know for sure it will have been worth the wait! I will post some pictures asap!

Lastly, i will be getting  a professional website made here in the next couple of weeks... This blog will move over there. I will make sure to give you the heads up on that. Thanks for reading up about my trip. It's getting closer and closer. It's going to be so nuts.

 While writing this blog i listened to an OWEN pandora radio station. It has been delicious!

Livin' the dream. Dreamin' of sports.

I am sitting here in bed... I'm feeling miserable. I say that cause i am coming down with some sort of sickness that is making my days fairly awful. On top of that rugby season has started back up and i am so sore from 2 games yesterday. I feel like i have been hit by a fright train within the past 24hrs. Oh well and oh joy.

Yesterday i had 2 rugby games but my wrist had been bothering me since the week before. Swollen, bruised, and range of motion not so great... It's been a tough week. So ya, yesterday at my games i saw a trainer. Super nice lady, but she put her hand on my wrist and just said, "oh..." I responded with basically, "what does "oh" mean?" (knowing good and well what she was about to say wasn't very positive) She preceded to tell me three things it could be, none of which was it could be fine Keeping my fingers crossed like no one's business though:

1.It was an old fracture i never tended to and the bones are rubbing together, because i re broke them.
2. I just broke it and the bones are rubbing together.
3. (this was the one she thought was the most feasible) I tore a ligament or tendon and the squeaking/pulling noise could be that lil bit of tendon hanging on for dear life working really really hard to keep my hand moving.

So this week i am going to be doing a whole lot of thought about rugby. I don't have a game for another 3 weeks which is great. I can have time to heal up if it's nothing major. I have decided that i will not risk my bike trip though. My heart is in this trip more than it's been in anything as far back as i can remember. The support i have received from friends and family has been incredible. I just feel like this trip will be life changing and i am all for that. So, if rugby isn't in my future this season so be it. Just one of those things that i have to take in stride. I want to play so much though. We will see Tuesday or sometime this weekend. At least i will still be coaching Oakland High School's rugby team. Go Patriots!

I am going Tuesday to get Xrays and such at the doctor so if you don't care send some good vibes, wish me luck, pray for me, just do whatever it is you do. Cause i am a bit nervous. my wrist has been swollen for over a week now and bruised... which can't be that good.

As i blogged this i been jammin' out to Trey Songz. So soulful and chill. i am diggin' it for sure.

MAY you get here sooner?

Being back at school has been a tough thing for me this time around. I really don't know what the deal is but i think since it's my last semester and i only have 6 PE classes it's pretty hard to find my motivation. I want May to be here now. I really am tired of waiting. I know it will be totally worth the wait.

I have gone home a few times the past couple of weekends which has been super rad too. Just a weekend away from school. I know i know, i have been here two weeks and i have left 3 times. Don't judge me. ha. This weekend i am staying in Murfreesboro as far as i know, but we'll see though. I never know what i am doing till the day before and to me... well, that's ok. This trip is actually the farthest in advance i have ever probably planned which is pretty crazy for me.I am super excited for May 10th to get here...

This blog actually doesn't have much of a theme except the fact i want my bike asap, Marin is busy making it perfect before releasing it to the public which it will be worth the wait also. Marin does great work and i don't see why anyone would complain about that. Here is my bike though. i haven't posted it yet so enjoy. If you have any name ideas for my bike let me know. i feel like naming it is going to be a MUST DO.

Listened to today while blogging:... No music... listening to my teacher lecture. Rabbi Rami Shapiro is currently teaching on Judaism.
