I need more COOL T-Shirts...

2005-11-02T17:03:00.000-08:00

For someone who goes through almost 40 T-shirts a week, I found I have a Surprisingly small number of "cool" T-shirts. After some inspection, it occurred to me that roughly 70% of my t-shirt collection was given to me at bike events. Another 25% is from 8th grade and before, and altho were at one time considered "cool", have since lost there appeal. The remaining 5%, ( or as I refer to them, Layer 3 ) are indeed,"cool".(cup cakes/Spain/ USA cycling team... All layer 3 material).
this is a problem.
Now, the obvious thought running through your mind right now, is. " yeah, but Colt, your not that cool."
Am I really not cool enough to were cool T-shirts?!
now that I think about it. Im not manly enough for the pink polo. im not with other people enough to pull off the, "IM WITH STUPID". Im not skilled enough in the field of 'Puffy Paint'. And I am not a Jim Reddig Relative.
Im adding this to the list of 'to do's' for this winter... "*Accumulate More Cool T-Shirts*"

"So my brother and his wife have trained my niece Ciera on how to deal with
strangers.It's very heads up, and frankly if I was a parent I hope that I would
have these conversations with my children. Tim told me as they drive around in
their white 1979 Ford Bronco (just like OJ's), they would practice screaming, "
stranger! stranger! Help!" at the top of their lungs. This came as a great
surprise to Ciera's grandparents, who were having a nice discussion with her
over breakfast at Denny's, while babysitting one recent morning. Ciera calmly
commented to them, "Daddy and Mommy have told me how what to do if a stranger
comes up to me." Ciera's Grandmother asks, "how's that honey?" Ciera calmly sets
her piece of toast down on the plate, places her hands on her hips, shuts her
eyes, and begins to scream at the top of her lungs, still in Denny's mind you
"STRANGER, STRANGER, STRANGER, HELP, HELP" Of course everyone in the restaurant turned startled and horrified at what was going on. The Grandparents were a little embarrassed. Ceira said, "see!?" with a big smile, she picked up her
toast and very matter of the factly continued to eat."

2005-09-27T03:37:00.000-07:00

My heart races. a little at first. Then a lot. And I can’t stop smiling. And im thinking of you smiling. My mind is thinking 300 million thoughts at once. And I cant put any of them into words. My hands kind of tense up, and my fingers spread wide apart. Still smiling. Mind still racing. My heart still thumping. I take a deep breath, and pause for a moment. While one thought comes through more clear than the rest. I exhale, and somehow, find a way to smile even more. Then it sets in. I feel like someone just told me the most exciting news anyone could here. And I want to shout at that top of my lungs. And tell everyone in the world, everything I am thinking. Then something inside me lights up, and im glowing. It’s so dark outside. Yet everything is so clear within. One by one everything im thinking becomes so clear. And I know, that right there, everything im thinking at that very second, is exactly what I should be thinking at that very second. And there’s nothing else I care about. And im still smiling. And my hearts still thumping. And im still glowing. 31 days later. And the glow keeps getting brighter. And the smile keeps getting bigger. And my mind starts racing faster. And my heart is thumping harder. And that’s just when you say Hi.

RANDOM SONG: i picked a number between 1 and 7,500, here is what came up for today...

there are alot of cars named after animals. ( yes, even the Dodge, COLT)

why aren't there many bikes named after animals?

some birds.. ill tell yea.. there just goofy looking. too tall, too wide, not wide enough. There bodes are huge and there head is small. or there tiny, with a 12 foot wing span.

why haven't humans evolved to be abel to fly yet? we could definitely use the modification in Certain circumstances, and i don't even see a slight sign that our race is heading in that direction. its a shame. Maybe my children's, children's, best friends brother, will have wings. they might be abel to say. "i wish grampa was still around, he would have loved to see the incredible flying boy."

yesterday, wile in the tree ( see, IFcoltCOULDfly) i swore i heard Debbie Merzbach in the tree across from me. i yelled over," Debbie!, Debbie!, over here, its colt! im in a tree too!!".. well, it sounded just like her, but it turned out to be an ACTUAL Pterodactyl! what are the chances..

where have all the good skipping stones gone in Massachusetts. How is one supposed to beat a personal best 8 1/2 skips, when there are no flat stones to be found. Frustrating. Very.
tonight I was in the bigges tent I have even seen. Huge The show inside wasn't bad eater.

if, for the rest of my life. I had to listen to music, made from a particular year. What year would that be. An incredibly hard question to answer. Even decade is tough. The 80's were great!, but the 70's were pretty darn good too. And don't forget about the 90's. I think im leaning 80's. Maybe a bit. Or 75'-85' for a ten year period.

movies is a bit easyer. 1942 was a great year!, as was 1992, and 1994. it comes down to those 3 for me.

RANDOM SONG. i ( well, judy ) picked a number between 1 and 7,500. heres what came up for today...

Bookstores have such comfortable chairs!, altho, if I had a book store, I would patrol the chairs, and not let anyone sit in 1 chair for more than a distigueshed period of time. To stop people like me, who just sit, and read the book right there in the store.

Some of those SAT prep books are HUGE!, who in there right mind is going to buy the book containing 20 practice tests? If you do fine on the first 15, IM pretty sure you'll be ok for the real thing. On the contrary, if you do horribly on the first 15, chances are you have a serious disability. ( and love lamp).

I am amazed at the thoughts that a song can provoke, and the memories it can trigger. Just 1 song, will bring back totally vivid images of a certain period in time. Songs I haven't heard in 5 years, and ill know every word, were I was last time I heard it played, and what was going on in the world at that very time. Colors that were present, smells of the season. Its quite literally like a trip back in time.

what song/s that I am listening to today, will, when I hear them in 5 years, bring back the memories of this particular period in time?

how can dogs distingwish between eachothers barks. I listen to my dogs "talk" sometimes. Either they have some top secret code that we humans can not begin to fathom, or they just sit there, and repeat themselves. Over. And over. And over. And...

on my ride today. I was cold. I didn't bring enoughf clothes. And I knew I should of. For that I was angry with myself. That's when the word Burger took on a whole new meaning to me. ( its ok if you don't understand, maybe take a second, break it down, sound it out... It'll come to you.)
