Free

This has turned into a motorcycle blog.  I don't care much because it's my blog, and thats the biggest thing that's going on in my life.  I'll see if I can update something else this time but..

Today was the first day I felt "Free" on a bike.  It just happened, it wasn't one of those things where I wanted to feel "Free" but it's just how it went.  I didn't ride yesterday, I spent the whole day watching scary movies, and by the end of the day (10pm) I was too tired to ride and plus I had to be up at 5 to get ready for work.  I really did feel great though riding today after work.  It was about 8pm and my Mom doesn't want Derek and I to ride at night.  I bought my motorcycle..err am paying it off and I pay for everything about it.  It's kinda the first serious thing I own that doesn't have my parents say in it.  Tonight though when riding, I just felt...good.  I have my bike down, I figured it out, and it just feels good. Riding today it felt like nothing else mattered, and it was just me (Even though when I'm riding with Derek I always look in my side view mirrors to make sure he's there).  Riding has such a certain "High" that I love to hit when rolling around town.  It really is great.

I'm still trying to hit 600 miles before winter starts so I can get it serviced and then I can store it.  I have about 500 miles to go.  It'll be expensive, but Mark said to bite the bullet the first time and to go from there.  It sounds like a good idea with a brand new bike.

Other than riding, work is getting pretty crazy.  Not crazy because anything is coming up, but it's getting crazy because there is a lot of stress that shouldn't be there.  I'm okay with that because I really need the job, but if I had all my bills paid, I'd be out of there is a second.

Midterms are this week for me and I'm ready.  I have a few papers to write and a test to take but I'm not the least bit worried.  I'm not trying to sound cocky, but I'm just taking easy classes.

I wish the summer was longer.  That, or I wish that I had the guts to buy a motorcycle this summer. I'd have more time with Mark, and a lot more time to ride, instead of trying to cram 600 miles in a few weeks.

The bike is my baby though.  I wake up at night sometimes just to look at her.  She's my favorite thing in the whole world.
