Speaking of the kayak world championships, does anyone know if Roxanne went to those? That would explain her disappearance on the ultimate field.

The deal with th US and track and field is this.

There apparently has been a change in the rules this year regarding disqualifications. The new rule, which i think is in line with collegiate rules states that after the first disqualification of a race, the person who committs the second (even if it wasn't the person who committed the first) is disqualified. This was the problem with Drummand, who was that second guy . . . then revented to the level of a three year old, lay on the track and refused to leave. He now has withdrawn himself, that's classy.

Aside from that we are just not having a great meet in france. The heat there is pretty tough as they are just getting to the end of a massive heat wave that had temperatures over 100 in paris. We didn't even medal in the 100 meters for the guys, we only had one guy even in the finals (thanks Tim Montgomery for not being a baby).

Basically between the heat and the disqualifications people are leaving. Remamber, track is a very egotistical sport so if things aren't working well with a person they will bail before they decide to pull it together for the team or some shit.

So in other news, I'm at a "Lan Arcade" here in fucking Marquette. This is pretty sweet. It is basically a mini Lanwerks from PA fame. Currently I have some people playing Jedi Knight on my left, and a bunch of 11 year olds playing Team Fortress and yell fuck and shit because they can on my right. It is pretty sweet and totally makes me wish I was an FPS guy. Maybe I'll have to pick that back up from the summer at the fort when I was playing halflife all the damn time. It totall would be worth it here, expcept for the 12 that kicks my ass regularly, but that's the best way to learn. The only thing that could make this more perfect is if they had a SC2 tourney tonight.

Um, I sprained my ankle a bit lifting today, which sucks because I have to play this weekend. As a result my workout sucked today and it's looking like another poor week. I did get a good track workout in yesterday, so that makes me happy.


Oh, I got kicked out of the place that I was staying last night. Crashing in the girls dorm worked just fine until the roommate of the person I was staying with was questioned by their coach about where I was sleeping and forgot that telling the truth would be bad for me. So I got a room at the Ramamda, which means I'm paying money, which suckes. But at least I have total freedom to walk around naked and shit. Oh, and I have a bathroom that I can use without worrying that the girls next door are going to walk in.

My stay here is Michigan will come to a close soon. It has been nice to have a few days, check in with people and relax. The next two days of driving will be much easier because of it. Oh, and I get back on an interstate again at some point, that will be nice. No more fucking one lane roads underconstruction with moose walking across them. Way for big cities and black people.

Hopefully I'll get post in from Donner's place tomorrow night. I think we are going to sit around, drink beer and watch the MTV music awards, or that's what he said his plans were. Talk to you all soon.
