Woke up today and found out that we need to clear everything out of our living room by tomorrow. A little later we need to clear everything out of the fun room because they will be totally redone w/ new insulation and walls like the living room. After that we'll be eating out for a while as our kitchen is getting a makeover also. So today I finally started cleaning my room a litte...which I should have done a long time ago. Craziness....sometimes I feel spoiled in this house and that I don't deserve it.
Well, I have my interview for the Rock Agency in an hour. I've done all I can do to look as good as I can. I've always been good with interviews so that part will be easy. I just need to be what they're looking for. I hope I don't have too much competition either. I want this bad. Lets see how it goes. Wish me luck....

Pasta Carbonara....
I really miss Italy. I need to start making some Italian dishes. First on the list Pasta Carbonara. Its actually pretty easy...all you need:
For the Sauce:
6 egg yolks
Freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
Heavy Cream
Bacon
Then you just need some fettuccini pasta. Cook the noodles like usual.
Mix the 6 egg yolks together with the parmesan cheese and 2 cups of heavy cream. Cook the bacon in a pan until crispy. Turn the heat off and add the mixture to the bacon (if you leave the heat on it will curdle the eggs, we don't want that). The heat from the pan and bacon will heat the sauce. After the creamy sauce has thickened, turn the heat on very low and add the cooked pasta to the sauce and heat. Finish the top off with chopped chives and enjoy.
I can't wait to make that. I think everyone at MGM will enjoy the meal. You should try cooking it too.
I don't really have much else to say...other than I can't wait until my interview at The Rock Agency tomorrow. Also tomorrow Dallas and I are planning on a 4 hour ride. Should be a good day tomorrow.

6 Hours of MTB'ing is....well...a lot of MTB'ing....
Right now I'm watching the Sunday Night Sex Show with Sue Johanson. She rules....if you want to learn more about her and the show go to:
www.talksexwithsue.com
She told me to tell you to visit the site.
I think I'm going to start up with the blogging thing again...especially because I like the new look of my new template...
OK so yesterday I woke up and thought....SHIT, I have to ride my mountain bike for 6 straight hours today. The race was over at Crystal Ridge in Franklin, WI. The course was pretty easy...and I really liked it. But....6 hours on a mountain bike does hurt. I did pretty well. I placed 6th out of 25 in the field. I did 9 laps totalling 56 miles in 5hrs 43min. Geo got 11th with 8 laps (his brake stopped working for a little bit and then he got a pinch flat). Gehling got 24th...he flatted twice. He was only able to go 5 laps. The course was very turny and there were 2 major climbs and 2 minor ones. The best part was the 3 switchbacks at the end of the lap. So Fast! My legs felt great the hole time, but I didn't want to go to hard seeing that it was my first endurance MTB race. I was happy with my placing. And I didn't have any mechanicals, which was great and surprising. I ate right and fueled up at the right times. Oatmeal cream pies are the best fuel for an endurance race...no doubt. 310 calories per pie...I recommend it. Good race overall...and I think my legs are back...sort of. I definitely overtrained in Italy, which really sucks, but how could you not? I'll get better...superweek will really help.
Geo and I after our 6 hrs of being on a mountain bike...
This Tuesday I have a Maxtest. I hope to hit at least 445 watts and I better. Then in August I have another research study. That one will really see where I am at the end of the season.
Also on Tuesday I have my interview for the Rock Agency. God I hope I get signed. It would be pretty cool to be a model. I enjoy jobs where you really don't have to do much...seeing that I'm pretty lazy actually. So I have everything planned for what I'm going to wear. If I do get signed I'll have a fricken huge ego, but oh well.
Today I went over to the Holy Hill area to watch Ashley ride Cash the Horse. It was interesting and Cash seemed to be a nice and friendly horse. Seemed nice, calm and listened better than a lot of the other horses.
Me and Cash...
Well, on Wednesday Geo and I drive over to Ann Arbor to see some of the Villa peoples. I can't wait to see them. Its been too long. It'll definitely be a good time.

What has been on my mind?....
That is a question that I have been wondering for a while.
Well, to start off I got back from Italy on May 10th and I missed it right away. I hate the US. I hate the US lifestyle, the food, and motorists. They're fricken morons and retarded. Don't get me wrong, I missed all of my friends and family, but there's now just something missing and thats Italy. I feel like I belong there and I want to belong there.
When I got back to Madison on May 18th, my body decided to breakdown and have me go through hell. I got some stomach flu thingy. The first night I puked 6 times and had horrible shits. It lasted for 7-8 days. I could barely eat, and I lost 10 pounds in 3 days....thats always nice. I had to take more time off the bike for that....I didn't ride my bike for 5 weeks and that was killer. Lost some fitness. But since that point in time I've been feeling alright....except for the legs.
I only work at SAFEwalk this summer and I barely have any money. I'm doing another research study on the bike, with shocking and stuff, so theres a little bit more income. This Tuesday I actually have an interview at a modeling agency. Hopefully they like my looks and sign me. I think that would be a cool job. I'm also a lazy person and hate working, so the less work for money the better. If that doesn't go through I may get a job at Capital Foods cuz I really need some more money. We'll see what I do. If anything I stop eating and doing fun things. Great....
As for my legs...they have been feeling like complete shit for the past two months. Racing hasn't been going the way I was hoping it would and I haven't really been training. When your legs feel so shitty, you kinda lose any motivation to keep riding. But finally just the other day I went for a ride with Dallas and I finally felt decent on a bike. The 65 mile ride opened up my legs for some reason. The ride even today felt great and I felt like I had power again. Thank god its starting to feel good now...Superweek is in 2 weeks and I want to go for the overall (at least a top 10 if I could). We'll see....
And things have been on my mind definitely as many of you probably have noticed and have asked about it. Yes, I haven't been myself lately...or at least I can tell. I was an asshole last night and drank myself silly. I was stupid and should never have done that. I embarrassed myself and probably was kinda mean to others. More than I usually would. Not quite me. I've been wearing a mask and I don't like it. But I hate talking about it all. I really don't even know what's on my mind. I don't know how to put it into words. Its all scrambled in my head. And I can't seem to unscramble it. I've never been one to really tell what I'm feeling either. Its hard though when you don't even know what to say, or even how to start.
I don't smile as much as I use to, I don't laugh as much, I stare off into space, I don't have motivation for anything, and I just can't think right. I don't know why. This summer has been fun, but again something is missing and I really don't know what I want. Sometimes I feel lonely...actually I've been feeling very lonely. Is it time to finally find a significant other? I don't know. Just someon new to hang out with? I don't know. I've seen a lot of couples out there in Madison and sometimes it makes me a little depressed. Yet, at times I'm happy being single, but I think thats starting to wear away. I would enjoy a cuddle from time to time, a kiss that actually means something, a loving hug. Do I need a woman? I don't know. There's a couple girls on my mind....but: One is taken, one is in Germany, and one I barely know. Those are the only two usually on my mind. But is there someone else out there for me. Thats always the question. And as many of you know...I'm picky. I need a certain someone. Hopefully I find it. I don't quite want to be lonely anymore.
On a brighter note, I have a 6 hour mountain bike race in Franklin, WI tomorrow. First endurance mtb race I've done. We'll have to see how the legs hold and the bike. All I really have to do is beat Geo and Gehling...thats my goal.
Well I better get to bed seeing that I race in 11 hours. We leave at 10am. Lets do this. Ciao....
