so two days ago one of my cousin was online (a very rare occurance since his mother doesn't approve of the internet for anything but homework) and i was like, omg! bob! come fishing with me! and he was like, qua? what is? and i was like, on gaia, come fishing on gaia with me. and he was like, qua? esplane. so i was like, it's a game on gaia. u can go fishin' and catch fish, and have fish, and love the fish, and sell the fish. and he was like, okey dokie but don has account so i made one for him and his next door neighbor, vanessa. and then i made on for his little brother derrick and his older sister elise. the beauty part here being that they now have these accounts so that they can come hang out on gaia with me but since neither of their mother's are big on the internet, and since i made the accounts for them (they couldn't cuz had no e-mail, whereas i has 5) and knows their passwords i act as "steward" for their accounts. basically i run their avi's through the daily motions and and then put all the gold on my account. i then bankroll anything they want for their avi, which, as they don't get online often, isn't going to be a whole bunch. oooooo, gaia life is sweet. now, i'm off to go buy jewelry smile .

the most amazing thing happened to me today. i was picking up my friend greg and i passed a cop with a radar gun and he didn't pull me over. this was the forth cop i have passed in my eight months with my license who had a radar and wasn't already giving someone a ticket, the first three pulled me over and in every case i wasn't the fastest moving one in the area nor even on the top end if u consider the density of the traffic, but i was always accesable, highly visible, and a teenager. anyway, i couldn't believe it, i mean i wasn't speeding but that didn't stop the second guy, i surprised me so much that i had to tell everyone.

today while driving home from my grandmother's house i saw a guy on a motorcycle. the first i was aware of him he passed me and before 2 seconds had passed he sped by 3 or 4 more people in alternating lanes, he was barly entering one lanes before switching to the other more in the middle than anything else. my first reaction to this was to think my how dangerous he is, he had on a helmet, t-shirt, shorts, and lose tennis shoes, and he was doing lots of dangerous manuvering. then, more to my fashion, i stopped and assesed what i had just seen, and i thought, no, he is not a reckless fool, he is not a danger to everyone, he is not unwise in the extreme, he is happy. right now, right here, i have witnessed freedom. he was doing what he liked to do without thinking of the consequences. he didn't say "i should be careful u never know where a cop might be" or "i should stop before i get hurt" he may have thought it but it was shot down with "and am i going to let that end me, am i going to live in fear." (the answer was no btw) he was in my sight for about 3 minutes including about one and a half spent at a stoplight but in that time he passed about 15 people in the same general fashion, did two wheelies, swerved back and forth in his own lane when he couldn't pass anyone, and then sped away ahead. i am thankful to this man for reminding me what i believe, my stay in the mountains had made me worrisome through risk managment lessons, i believe that thinking too hard can only lead to bordom, that without a healthy stupidity we are left with a very well planned fear. i have always understood every risk i take (mostly) and that is why i feel comfortable in ignoring them. it was when i realized that most of what he was doing was stuff that i used to do on my bike except faster and fittingly simpler that i remembered this. my eternal gratitude is owed to this kindred of spirit.

i lost my journal for a while there but with no further ado here is the next entry from my journal in the mountains.
07/01/05
Happy Birthday Alex! i hope you're having a great time today i still need to get u a present still true ...carve it! a pirate ship! yeah! i have now killed 595.2 mosquitos! we finished clearing the centenial trail 1/2 way through the first section and we have now started making a new trail connecting the centenial to the road about 1/2 the way through. we are now sitting by the same river a bit farther down eating lunch and again it is beautiful here. i have begun to miss home but most of the time i am too busy despite how much less there is to do out here i am never at a loss for what to do. i've read 250pgs of lord of the rings and made a spoon and started a knife and laddle. i have also worked to the point that my hands tore on the bar i've been using (over the gate of an old hourse penn)(a feat that i'm actually proud of) 596 it would seem that excercize is exponential where the more i do the more i can do and so forth but not in the more basic terms of muscle mass. g-pa was right, these trees dwarf our own. leaving now.

when eye for an eye leaves everyone blind,
nobody's happy but nobody cries.
when eye for eye leaves the other man blind,
that's when you realize your no better off.
if u give and not recieve,
life may seem like a cruel seive.
but to take and never give,
then u never truly live.
yeah, it's better to have loved and lost,
than to get caught up in the cost.
cuz if u think to Heavily,
no eye can help u see.
the first verse i wrote one day when i punched a kid for being an a** to my friend will, i'm not even sure if will knows i did that cuz he'd left by then, anyway, and the second verse i just wrote about how i thought when my gf broke up with me, that is how i think about the world when s**t happens.
