Radda Radda (sneak peak)

So finally got around to listening to some old stuff that most people have not heard of. Econoline Crush totally forgot about them I used to listen to there mp3s all the time which were like impossible to find by the way. This is something for me to look for at Flat Black and Circular. I will probably write more later so yeah preview.

Almost Easy

So where to start this one at. I will go with this weekend.

Friday was pretty uneventful it was mostly wake up crew, sleep, class, crew, sleep early because I am a driver. So yeah whoever decided that we had to leave at 3 am to go to Ohio is crazy. So I got up to drive very early and I actually made it all the way to Columbus without any assistance from energy drinks or 5 hour stuff. Racing was well let me be blunt not good. This is just me speaking about my boats but coach has this tendency to put me in one boat that he knows will not do well but its whats best for the program. Example V8-2 with this you think oh another varsity 8 with some varsity and best novice. But the boat is always second string novice with a few left over varsity and its never good and usually gets flat out embarrassed. I am also in the varsity 4 which is a great boat 3 of us have been rowing it for a whole year. The problem is filling in the last member because it is usually a novice. While this isn't normally a problem its just that we need some consistency.

Fun fact here is how i predict the boats are gonna break down for finals. There will be a Lightweight 8 with James, Andrew,Karl, Dan, Mark, Pipp, Jim, John G. The Varsity 4 will be Matt, Neal, Cory, Me. I say that because The lightweight 8 is more competitive then the heavyweight 8 and it will create the best opportunities for the program. With that being said I don't think Neal is going to enjoy it because he probably feels that he is better then the boat he is in. I just hope that no one gets sour.

Ok so back to the racing weekend. When we finally head out I figure everybody will be just as modivated as me to get back in time to see the final four game. I was kinda right and kinda wrong at the same time. At one point we spent 30 mins getting gas and mcdonalds which is crazy for the fact we had free food on the site and plenty of it. During the van ride I had some fun conversations with Clair well till she passed out. So I told her one of my crew crushes which is kinda alot for me because I am usually not open about that stuff. It is kinda crazy because I felt like I was back in grade school like oh i told you a crush does she like me back. Like just get one of those pieces of paper where you check if you like me or not. Because I do not know about you but I like knowing when people like me.

Well I am just gonna stop here for now if you want to hear how the rest o the weekend went remind me and I will finish. I remember almost all of the party and most of Pipp's shinanigans.
