Myspace, Spring Break & Mountain Bikes

I’ve never liked Myspace. There is nothing about it that is appealing, except for the ability to have a free “website.” Offering such a large free service means that there are ads… tons of ads. Also, many users have incredibly bad taste when it comes to customizing their page. Most end up with a layout that is so obnoxious that you can neither read the text or navigate. I wouldn’t have a Myspace account if is wasn’t for the fact that a lot of my friends have them. Without an account of your own you can’t look at posted pictures or leave a message. I’ve had an account for three years now, and have only posted two blogs. The first one was a link to this website; the second, posted today, told of my hatred of Myspace along with another link to this site.

Spring break officially started for me Wednesday night, due to my lack of Tuesday, Thursday or Friday classes. Since I have an interview with the police department at the end of next week, Michelle and I are going away for a few days starting Sunday. We’ll be spending some quality time at Cumberland Island. It’s a great place to get away from everything. The ferry runs twice a day, and besides the Ranger’s Station, wild horses, armadillos, beavers, and other wild animals there’s really nothing else on the island. It’ll be awesome.

I bought Brian’s old mountain bike that he was no longer using. I love it! I’ve ridden several times every day this week; whether to class or just around the apartment complex (which is much larger than I originally thought). For some reason I’m able to ride around the perimeter of the apartments, which takes me about 30 minutes off the road, and go uphill all of the way. I start off going uphill, and when I get back around to my apartment, I’m still going uphill. It’s like M.C. Escher’s “Ascending Descending”[Click here for more of his amazing creations.] I hope riding so much will help me get into shape. I haven’t done any real exercise since high school, and I found out about a month ago, that I am very out of shape.
