Bicycling

So lately i found out the wonders of how far a bike can really take you, defenitly far out of your confort zone, anyways though.......
Just recently I pulled out my old mountain bike from the grips of the "junk holder" the garage, filled up the tires, and got it working again, and took it out for a spin.
This particular day, I was completely stuck in the house with nothing to do, and so i rode from 19th avenue and Dunlap in AZ all the way down to 19th avenue and Bethany Home, this may not seem far but i was well on my way..........that day my trip was a measly 1 hour.
( Remeber before this it was about 100 ft. that I was aloud to ride, so this was AWESOME! and without permission:( )
The next day, I waited til school was finished and took off again, my initial plan was to start with my four corners of my house. So that day I rode from 19th avenue and Dunlap to 71st avenue and Dunlap. This ride took a total of 2 hours, 1 hour on my way ther and 1 on the way back.

The next day was more of a jump for me, I rode from 19th avenue and Dunlap to Cave Creek and Grover. Which winds around the mountains, while holding onto the street (sidewalk). But this was a much more exciting path because there were sooo many stores.
One that I particularly liked was on Cave Creek and Sweetwater, Its called "Top Of The Reef" and I highly reccomend it for any aquarium/fish lovers out there, it was amazing, with the thousands of exotic fish and realistic sand on the ground, it feels like your walking through the barrier reef (no Joke!)

Anyways, my last bike ride which was on Monday, the day before yesterday, I rode all the way out to Jomax and Happy Valley, and boy was it happy! Everybody I passed was so kind and polite!
There was one strange thing, there were desert chimpmnks, rats, and long lizards EVERYHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






Thats all...........Ill fill you in on any other exciting adventures i have,,,,see ya

more photoshop "mini planets"

April 15 (short story random)

Topic: Clouds

Behind all the dark onimous clouds, there stood a lady, stout as can be. This lady had shining beauty like no other, peeking out at you behind the night sky, giving hope and wonder. This mistic figure would blind you with a telescope, and amaze you from a glaze. She's had men walk all over her, and shes only had a few of them to see the next day. This mistic. This wonder. This spheric shape of a lady. Wrapped in beatings, and puctures, she shines for all to see.

Info:
Snapping turtles are both land, and water reptiles. They're mouth consists of a razor-sharp jaw, that is equipped with an incredibly strong bite-down, that can easily slice off a finger or a toe. Teasing may result in a major injury. While these creatures risk level is high, it does not stop herps (reptile hobbists) from purchasing them at various places and owning them as pets and keeping them at their own risk. While some people like to keep them as pets, some people like to hunt them down, and serve them as delicacies in their restraunts, the meat is cooked, and served, or added to a soup which is appropriatly named "Snapping turtle soup".
You can find close to any exotic pet, including todays animal, The Snapping Turtle, located under the classifieds section of www.kingsnake.com.

Why, You, Why

Pictures shoot
People move
Lovers love
Sun shines

Yet my world,
Paused and still,
On you

Your a person,
Im a person,
Yet move,
We dont

While the stars,
Wish
While the moon,
Cry

The earth,
Has stopped
The earth,
has paused

Hands,
Cold,
Holding,
You

Perish,
I dont
Perish,
I wish

Love,
A monster
Watch,
The monster

I feel.
