Haha... well I guess now my parents know about my motorcycle. Didn't want to tell them just yet but I guess it was for the best. So yea... the other day I was just working out in the garage, and I always leave the garage door open when I work out so it will be cooler. Well while I was working out both my parents walk up to the garage. I knew showing my mom where I lived would come back to bite me... haha. My mom looks at the motorcycle and tells me to tell her that this belongs to one of the other 4 guys that live in the house and is not mine. I guess I could of lied to her right then and said it was one of theirs, but I figured since I wanted to tell her anywayz now was the perfect time.

Well now that my parents knew about the bike they offered to pay for my back brakes since I told them it was making funny noises. While I was taking the rear brake caliper off I noticed that there were no brake pads! The reason there were no brake pads was due to the previous ones being worn down till they dissolved and the brake pistons were rubbing against the rotor. Yea so the rear brake is all fucked up and I have to wait till this part place sends me new parts for the brake caliper. The shit is hella expensive too... all I ordered was one brake piston, one seal kit for that piston, one dust cover, two pins, and two brake shims. Basically, it was 100 bucks for a small metal cylinder, two rubber rings, a metal lid, two paper clips, and two thin pieces of metal to stick to the brake pads. It was 5 dolla for the freaking clips! They're about 2 inches in length and as thick as a paper clip. I guess that is to be expected since the parts are indeed OEM.

So yea... because the back brakes are shot... I can't ride until these parts come in... which wont be till November 6th at the earliest!!! I'm already having motorcycle withdrawals just thinking about it. Actually I would ride the bike now anywayz without the rear brakes... but since my parents know about it I'm not even gonna try it. They would freaking kill me.

Man I don't know what the hell is my problem but I have not been giving a shit about school or anything for that matter. I feel like I am stuck right now and I don't know how to get out of it. I've been skipping alot of class and missing some assignments already. Hopefully I get out of this phase before its too late for this semester.

Tonight I got my second request to do a wheelie and I am still unable to perform... shat. I don't know what the deal is but I still can't seem to pull one off. I was never able to do one when I was a kid... couldn't do it with a bicycle and was too scared to do it with the dirtbike. I think I just need to practice on my friend's dirtbike and then work from there. On a sidenote I did 120 down calvine tonight on the way back home... damn that was fun. Haha, I've only been riding for about 3-4 weeks now and I already feel like I need an upgrade. I already feel like I could be going faster. I really want to get an R1, that would be nice.

Damn, I swear the only thing that matters to me now is the motorcycle. It's my only outlet for wutever is bothering me. Everyday I look forward to riding to and from school. I'm actually glad I live so far away now because it means more riding. And when I get home everynight I'm still looking for somewhere to ride to. Man, I don't know that the heck I'm gonna do when it starts raining.. I wont even be able to ride anymore. Eh, enough rambling, tired... sleep.

Man, I really do enjoy just going out for a ride on the bike. Did another 50 mile tour of the sacramento area tonight... ended up eatin' at adalbertos again. Thats right... ADAL bertos. I had the opportunity to experience what its like to go 110 mph on the motorcycle... and I must say... quite the rush. I tried to hit 120 on the way back home down calvine... but I wasn't sure if there was enough road left to make a slow and safe stop before the light... so I only hit 110 again. Gotta play it safe... I don't wanna be stupid ya know... haha. Speaking of stupid... I went on the freeway tonight too... which means I've combined what I'm not supposed to do with a permit which is don't ride at night and don't go on the freeway. Haha... obviously I don't care. Man... I'm not gonna get a license until at least the beginning of next year.

I've only been riding for about a week now and I already feel pretty comfortable with the bike. All I can say is that I like riding... ridey ride ride.

Ah, another motorcycle productive sunday. Feels good knowing that I have improved the condition of my vehicle... whether it be the motorcycle or truck. Today I changed the oil, added a light for the license plate so I wont get pulled over at night, and replaced the lights for the gauges so that I can see them now. Still have yet to figure out how to fix the blinker situation on the bike tho. When I turn on either of my turn signals... both the lights flash like my hazards are on. Man, I swear the guy who owned the bike before me was a freakin' idiot... and I'm not talkin bout Son... haha. He dropped the bike on both sides, the right more severe, he disconnected the back brake light when installing a new brake pump, he installed a stupid ass looking undertail setup, almost half the screws are missing or different for the fairings, and worst of all he put a racer sticker on the back! Oh well... I'm just concerned with the bike being legal... the other crap doesn't really matter.

Damn, I wanna go riding right now... but gotta sleep... shat.

Eh... Tomorrow.

Man, what a day. Today feels like a waste of day and yet a productive day. I guess today has been a good day but for some reason I don't feel all that great. Well lets see, today I woke up at noon, and then worked on my motorcycle all day basically. Didn't really do much on it... but I guess I fixed two out of three problems that it had. I didn't end up finishing puttin the bike back together until the sun had already set... but that apparently wasn't going to stop me from going for a ride tonight... haha. I can't work on the bike all day and not take it for a ride... I just can't. For those who don't know my motorcycle permit doesn't permit me to ride at night or on the freeway. But heck, I don't have insurance for the bike either... so obviously I don't let the little things bother me. Legality... eh!

I don't know why but I can't shake this feeling that I fucked up in some way. I don't know what it is but something just doesn't feel right. I think it might have something to do with the fact that I am riding a motorcycle... cuz if I remember right I think I had a similar feeling last time I went riding. I wonder if subconsciously I actually feel that is wrong for me to be riding a motorcycle, basically behind my parents back. My mom really doesn't want me to have a motorcycle, she always tells me how she lost two cousins and how dangerous they are. I'm gonna have to tell her soon cause I don't like keeping things secret like this. She'll just have to learn to accept it cause motorcycle riding just feels like something I need to do. I've been wanting one for so long... and now that the opportunity is available I can't let it go. I know out of all people I shouldn't be riding a motorcycle. I am quite aware that I always take risk on the road and I am not that afraid of getting in an accident. Now I'm not gonna say that near misses haven't scared me... but I think its mainly because of the fact that those almost accidents would have been my fault which means money and consequences. But when other people are at fault and they almost hit me it usually doesn't bother me the slightest. I know motorcycles are dangerous but I have no intention of not riding my motorcycle.

Today I just got my loan check finally... w00t... so now I can make motorcycle riding a legal possibility... haha. I can pay Son for the title and pay for insurance. Oh yea... in other news I found out that Max is trying to get kappa sigma going again at sac state. I just got a call from Christina at Alpha Alpha Xi saying their chapter is willing to help out and she is wondering if I will help out too. Now I want to help out... but shat... I'm already taking six classes and working 20 hours a week. I know other people can pull off work, school and aphio... but I'm not one of those people. I'm a lazy bastard. I think I'm gonna help out anywayz cause I don't want kappa sig to die off. So we'll see how things go.

Damn, I wish I had a motorcycle right now... I soo want to go riding. Soon tho... soon enough I will get my loan money and the bike will be mine. Right now the bike is in the garage taunting me. I have a helmet and a permit to ride... just no registration or insurance. I've wanted a motorcycle for so long now and the only thing stopping me now is money. Haha... well I guess that has always been stopping me. But yea, I went riding last week for the first time and that shit was hella fun.

Yea... me want motorcycle... that is all.

Damn, I've been feelin' hella down lately and this shit sucks. I know why but at this point it doesn't feel like there is much I can do about it... or just unwilling to. Not even sure why I'm writing this... just feels like I should. I know this feeling will pass... or hope so soon anywayz... but rite now I'm just like wut the hell... hella gay.

Speaking of gay... I dunno why but I'm hella diggin' this song rite now. Corinne's album is hella chill and for sum reason I just really like the sound of her first track. Eh, I dunno... gay.

Today I went over to my parents and they just got me a new laptop.... w00t. Hella outta nowhere and I didn't even ask for one... but oh well... it should make getting my work done easier now at school. I also finally got a response about the school loan... finally gonna have some money so I can buy a damn bike... haha. Man, can't wait to get a motorcycle, shat.

Damn... what a day to go bike riding. SHAT! I guess I can't say I didn't expect it to rain... but damn did it ever rain. Its funny too, cause the entire time on the way to folsom it didn't rain, well it sprinkled a little but basically nothing. But once we reached the farthest point away from where we started... it started rainin' like hell. Man, by the time I got back it actually felt like I just jumped in a pool with all my clothes on, but I'm just glad my annoying phone still works. Eh, I gotta admit I actually enjoyed it a bit... it made riding the 39 miles a lot nicer than when the sun is out giving me weird ass sun burns.

Damn, 7 hours straight in that damn lab typing code... I feel like I've completely brained my drain. Well at least I got the entire project just about finished. Only got this last project to finish and a final on friday and then I am finally done with this semester... aw00t, aw00t.

Finally got it so that I can play the mp3s from my computer on my stereo in my room and its nice finally having some bass with the music... bass fishing that is. Oh yea... and now that I finally got a new phone that can play mp3s, I can start finding time to listen to some of the albums I have. Was listenin' to the James Blunt album, and that shit ain't bad. At least half of it is decent... which is hard to come by nowadays with most albums.
