Ode To the Pack

SO hi all squid here

Anyways, I have and Grunt as well have posted stuff about our "packs"
meaning back packs, messenger bags, stuff like that, but I would like to take a second out to thank my messengerbag... (yeah i know... Lame!!!!)

But moving on,

So, i have this messenger bag right... (ok this is going to be more of a post) and i have a single speed apollo road bike that i use to go aournd town. Currently since i got a cycle computer on it, just going around town to get lunch, do errons and go to ultimate i have put 50 some odd miles on the bike. That is in like... 4 weeks totall. Thats about... alot of gass that i saved!

anyways, when i go i usually take my messenger bag, i have been using messenger bags since highschool cuz they are nice and roomy, you can get into them really quick and they are very comfertable to me. also they seem to fit nice when riden a bike. I use to ride to school alot in highschool, and having the messenger bag really made life easy. I can swing it aournd while riden and get shit out of it with out stopping or anything. so that makes life easier.

moving on here
one time i took a good digger, and landed on my back, this is why i ride with a pack most of the time, cuz it protects you! your back at least! I slid on the pack and got up and rode away, the pack took all the damage thank god!

and finally with out it, all the crappy DVD's i rent would be all over the street if i didnt have anything to hold them in!

So whats in your pack?

In mine all the time
there is

One U lock
wallet
keys to the house, (when i remember them)
Allen keys
Cell phone
loose change
a tube
sometimes a pump
and usually DVD's
and lunch

on long trips there is water in there too

one might ask. a messenger bag, did you messeng?

and yes.... kinda, in highschool i use to run a packege here and there, for ma or pa, or the guy i use to work for at the shop
for the highschool yes, and for family friends, what did i charge. food and bike parts! haha

now what do i do, run errons!

moving on,

grunt use to call my messenger bad my "purse"
he would yell at me

yo squid.... what you got in your purse today?
and i would answer

Ass hole. my lipstick.... that you forgot at my house! haha
and he would answer

ass hole shut up! or something like that, but that was highschool, we have grown up, and stopped acting like that..... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA no we havent!

anyways, thats all for now
next time im goign to post about Burke mountain and the Kingdom trails, one of the top ten raited trail systems in the US, and its in my back yard, and i found it easy, so did grunt!

Check this one out

Hi all

so I coach ultimate frisbee at the local highschool here, and i love it, give me something to do, i love thorwing the disk around and well its just a good time for me.

To day at practice i was tossing the disk around and all the player try to see how good they are at guarding me and try to be smart by trying to get the disk before i can. eeehhh ok thats fine with me till something bad happens

so yeah one of the players thows the disk over my head, and i turn and spring for it, when i turned and ran i was looking over my sholder reading the disk, and then when i turned my head to look and see if i was going to hit something...


WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPpp

my face goes into the sholder of one of my players trying to be smart by trying to get the disk before me

I am some one who usually stands his ground, meaning when some one goes to hit dear old squid, i uaually dont move much. so this scronny 5'10" highschooler goes straight to the ground and i stumble back a step or two

then i grab my face and everyone starts to croud me.

oohhh are you allright
ouch man you all right
dude im so sorry
wow, he didnt move
are you ok, did you break anything

me stumbling around eyes shut in pain and holding my nose
im fine im fine, let me be

the kids know when i say let me be... or go away. to actually leave me alone

the other coach stood by at a distance while i walked cyrcles moaning in pain, then i i stopped and looked down to see blood dripping from my nose

"aaahhh great, fucken wonder full"
then i made my way over to the my medic bag, took out the nalgine and some paper towles and washed some blood away, then took everything to the bench and sat down and did some more washing and drank some water and sat

Other Coach "wow are you really ok"
squid "is my nose straight"
OC "is it broken"
Squid "is it straight"
OC "looks ok"
Squid "when i push it one waythen the other it makes a cracking sound"
OC "well ok"
Sqid "im fine just let me sit"

so i took some pain meds and then sat
then got up and scooled the kid that hit me

and then i moaned about how my nose hurts
and it still does, when the swelling goes down some more
im going to poke and prod it, but now it makes a littlebit of an anoying wistling sound when i breath. thats going to suck if i cant fix that!

any ways

boo yaa
im out

maybe with a broken nose
