This Weeks Stalking Points

I usually update this on Sunday night and I’m sure you have all been patiently awaiting. I was too excited last night for Michael Phelps to even think beyond the next 5 minutes.

Anyway, here we go.


Uhh… I have nothing planned this week but work. If you feel like that should be remedied, feel free to let me know.

I fell in love here.  With a boy and with music.

Into the Wild

markyb:

Even though I may post once or twice more tonight, for the next few days I will be blissfully MIA. I am going with some friends to the Upper Peninsula for 4 days to enjoy some camping, swimming, sightseeing, and much much more (ie: drinking). If my cell works, I’ll be sending a photo here and there, and if a bear gets me, I only ask that he continue to blog about pretty irrelevant stuff in my place. So to those that have just started paying attention, the silence will be ended suddenly and swiftly upon my return. And if the siren call of the wilderness takes root and I find myself unable to part with its majestic beauty, well, pour a 40 for me and nice knowin ya.

Crap, now I’m missing the UP. Also thanks for the map, it reminded that I was wrong on both lakes mentioned in the previous post. It was Lake Superior…

the water was really cold

When I was a young pup I met a boy during summer camp in Michigan. He was on swim team for his high school and also played water polo. Oh, and he played string bass. It honestly can not get much sexier than that combination. Anyway, trips to the lake were always a blast as he was basically a fish. I remember specifically him treading water for about 15 minutes in Lake Michigan (or Eerie?) with me on his back. I would get tired of swimming and he was basically my life preserver.

He no longer swims, but watching water polo today and swimming tonight is making me think of the two summers I got to spend with him.

Did anyone else see that amazing win by The US team in the 400 meter relay, crushing the world record??

U.S.A! U.S.A!! U.S.A!!!

That was basically awesome.

Darren Mcfadden Highlights Oakland vs. SF preseason

This is going to be hard to get used to.

I can slowly hear my bank account draining.  I don’t care so much for Squeeze, but I’ve been waiting for James to do a US Tour since high school.

It’s almost 3:30 in the afternoon and I’m still laying in bed with my sunglasses on. I think this describes my night last night well enough.

Now to wake up and actually get some work done…
