my body probably thinks im schizo. saturday i had a bumming morning, ran 6-7k in the evening, then scooted over to bobby's to drink up and smoke up. slept in this morning before lunch and then shopping at galleria. i bought sports equipment. lovely.

i've been leaching off lorraine's backpack for more than a year, and now i got my own. a 75 liter conqueror brand for just over 2k. im pretty happy that the people at the store told me that it was around 3.5k before, and that i had gotten a good price on it. it's larger than the 65L i used to borrow from Lorraine which is what i want anyway, and im used to this brand. i just have a small worry about the straps and how it will feel after a long trek, but im comfortable with it, and it seemed quite stable and good when i had loaded it up w/ a 4 man tent, sleeping bag, cookset and stove. i was marching all around the store w/ the gear strapped on my back. i guess i can take it out for some ramps this coming wednesday.

it's gonna be a busy week. i have a paper to write, a long test to give, and a climb to prepare for. i dont think i have time for crap this week. that reminds me, i got to get JV's trekking pole fixed -- mental note.

i love buying good and good value gear. :) i finally bought a few dri-fit shirts today, so that i have something different to wear for the climbs and the runs. i have the same 2 (though good!) pieces. i rewarded myself w/ 3 new ones. i think i don't deserve them though, i haven't been very 'good' when it comes to fitness and discipline.

bob's leaving his house, and last night it looked like a club. it was empty and there were lights. lots of mike's cute friends were there. ha ha. so it was sorta like a club. there was nice booze and smokes. normally i don't touch much, but i was in an odd mood so i say life is short. now, i feel though as if my body has to repair the damage. sometimes i wonder when it'll all catch up. i won't stress over it too much though -- what's done is done.
