chill.

hey everyone. i have been on retreat for the last 3 odd days. i am not at all religiuos and took the retreat as a break from the usual life. I learned some stuff about myself from my small group and had a great time. But the one thing that i found myself needing the whole time was some good music to vibe to. we were reflecting to the likes of israel kamikawole and jack johnson, both whom ive liked at times, jack johnson more so. but what i really wanted was some Bob Marley. My personal favorite chillout music that i think produces good thoughts and helps me get thru life. if you dont have "legend" then you havent lived. ask me if you want it.

no more politics.

so what has been going on in the wide wild world of martin? well, i have been training pretty well on schedule. its been hard with this hellish weather. This week im going on a retreat with school, we leave monday afternoon rite after school and get back wed around 3. its gonna be nice break because that means i go to school 2 days this coming week, mon and thurs, and then i have a 4 day weekend. its kind of a pre spring break break. last thursday i ordered some handlebars and a stem for my fisher mtb. http://www.raceface.com/components/bars/nextxc-flat-bar.htm thats the sweet bar i got. 135 grams of p.i.m.p. i would have got the nicer sl but it was out of stock..damn. oh well whats 10 grams difference. that staff of glory will be secured to my ride with this bad boy. http://www.lhthomson.com/elite_x4.htm Holla!! its been a while since ive bought, ridden or been really pumped about mountain bikes. i think the last time i was excited about them was like in 7th grade when that was all i rode. since these damn road bikes, jk, have taken over my life i havent given my fisher the riding that it deserves. the bar/stem combo will now make my bike fit me better, my old bars were hellllla wide. so hopefully i'll get out on the trails a little more, no alot more, and make a few races. all i need now are some new shoes that fit, cause my old shoes are 7-8th grade era when my feet were a little smaller. if anyone has any nice shoes that they dont want, size 43-43.5, or wants to go to castlewood or chubb or even make a berryman trip holla at me. peace.
