In about 15 hours I will be on my way to NC for spring break! I finally finished the last bit of homework/examination-ing I had to do. Finished at about 1:15am. I want to punch procrastination in the face. I just want to go ride my bike and hopefully get strong again.
Last weekend at Mizzou sucked for me. Yup I did lose a lot of endurance. I still have my power, just no endurance. I got dropped both races. So I'm going to ride a shitload in NC and then take the next week completely off. Hopefully I'll be a little better after all of that...and then it should be warmer and we can ride outside again.
Ok well I'm going to head to bed. Gotta wake up really early because I haven't even packed yet and my stuff is being picked up at 9:30am....the same time that I have to be at the Rock Agency for an audition. Gah I need to memorize some lines....
Good Night!

RaceTime....
Alright...this weekend will be the first time since August that I'm racing my bike. It will be interesting. I think it'll be tough, but not horrible. I'll hurt, but it'll get my fitness going again. I'm probably not as strong as the field, but I'm still going to go out there and get some work done. If I can't get in a breakaway I'll try my best at getting one of my teammates to get the V.
Here's the race description for Mizzou. A 60 mile hilly road race to get the legs going again. Then Sunday is a nice technical crit. I have a feeling I'll do better in the crit than in the RR. But we'll just wait and see.
Then this week I hope to get my training up a little bit and then go all out and rip my legs off during Spring Break. Week off and then racing again. I think that'll be good enough to stay with the big boys.
I hope I can bring you a good report when I get back from this weekend....

MillerTime....
Well I'm doing 1000 times better. Sickness is pretty much gone...I just have the lingering cough/clearing of the throat that ends every cold. No more dizziness, no more fatigue. It just took about 5-6 days laying in bed doing absolutely nothing but sleeping and eating. Thank god its over...and just in time....
Thursday I finally got another modeling gig. Just fresh off my death virus I got a job with Miller Brewing. I was just an extra, but it was for a type of commercial. I just had to act like I was having a good time at a party. They put a Miller Chill in my hand and two beautiful girls next to me. "Have a good time"! That was pretty much it. I got paid to flirt and drink a beer. And the pay wasn't that bad either. And lets just say that models are very open about everything. It was a blast. I definitely want this to be my life and job. Well not just flirting and drinking beer...the modeling.
These next two weeks will be pretty busy. I need to do a couple intervals on the bike before my first race of the season next weekend in Mizzou. I can't wait to race....its been awhile. And then its Spring Break....

Dizzy....
OK I haven't updated in awhile, but not much has really been happening. I had a strained shoulder for about 2 weeks and couldn't exercise, but its healed now and I'm back into getting fit for modeling. Went to Chicago and saw Rent. I'm trying to survive school and work. I also have an audition this Sunday for an independent film....
Thats what I think is getting to me. I don't think I've been sleeping enough or something. Ever since Freezing For Safety I've been getting short little dizzy spells that last just a couple seconds and goes away. But they pretty much happen everyday. They get a little worse during the evening/night hours. I was riding the trainer today and 30 minutes in I almost fell off the bike...or at least it felt like I was suddenly going to....
So tomorrow I'm skipping class and heading home early in the morning to get this checked out. I hate doctors, but it really has to be done seeing my one blip on the radar screen medical history. I think just knowing what happened 3 years ago gets in my head and makes it worse.
Its probably nothing, but better safe than sorry....at least I get to skip class tomorrow!

Sickness....
Yup I'm sick. Gots me a sore throat and I'm fatigued. So that always feels great....
I studied only 4 hours for an exam that was today...and I started studying today for it. I think and hope it went well. Now I have to start a take home exam for MHR. Yeah I was suppose to start it tonight...but the sickness and already taking an exam threw that idea out the window. Hopefully I can finish it before Thursday night though since I'm heading to Chicago on Friday. Oh and I have an audition for a independent short feature film on Sunday too!
As for racing this season...I will not be racing for Get A Grip. I thought things over and I really don't know where I'm going to be this summer, so I can't really commit myself to the team. So I'll be riding unattached this year. I've ridden without much help for years, so it won't be that much different. But I'm still racing and training. I've been training alot more lately...and I'm starting to feel the strength go up again. I think I'll be ready for Spring Break...and then after Spring Break I should be pretty good to go again.
Well...I'm going to keep up my procrastination skills and not start that exam tonight. Doing it later will definitely suck...but oh well....

FFS/Tiramisu....
Yesterday was Freezing For Safety. A whole bunch of us go out to the middle of Library Mall by State St., ride our trainers and yell at pedestrians to give us money. This money will go to the Safe Kids Coalition...they will buy helmets and car seats for children and families that can't afford them. I was out there for a total of 4.5 hours. That was good enough for me, since I haven't really had the motivation to actually get on a trainer. But my power is still up there. So thats good...I won't suck too much at the start of this collegiate season (my last one at that).
I had to take a break at hour 2 to get to class. I just went in my kit. Well as you know my classes are about 97% female. Hurrah for dietetics! One of the girls right behind me said that I looked really cute today, then she asked me to stand up because she wanted to see my ass. Well ok....that was fun.
When I got home I ate alot and passed out at about 9pm. I awoke at 1am from my roommates screaming at video games. So I got up and went and ate some more. I pretty much passed out again right away and woke up at 10 this morning.
Dallas and I went shopping for some groceries today. I made tiramisu for the IMTA reunion being held tonight. That'll be a fun time. Hopefully my tiramisu is a hit.

Got to bed at about 3:30am.
Got up at 7:45am, drove Dallas to class...
Met Dallas at Sunroom Cafe at 9:30am....
SERF from 10:30 to 11:30...my brother believes that I have a strained shoulder muscle (and I could believe that). I just did some legs and abs...
1:00pm until 2:45pm was spent on the trainer with some intervals....
Now its CoffeeShop time for the rest of the night...Gotta get everything done!
Hurrah?.....

Coma....
And thats what I just woke up from. Dallas came over tonight and made pasta salad, ribs and flank steak, bread and brie, green beans and asparagus. For dessert we had sorbet and cookies. We ate at 6:30...and I had way too much to eat and went into a coma at 8. I woke up at 12:30am. And now I can't go back to sleep. Its probably going to be a long night. I really needed to get a bunch of homework done too. Oh well...it was a good time and the food was delicious.
As for today...I hate Wisconsin. Only in Wisconsin will it be 40 degrees with snow starting to melt one day, then 38 with rain the next, and then a blizzard the next day with 8-10 inches of snow. Every school around the area, even UWW was cancelled...but not UW-Madison. But SAFE services was cancelled tonight because the buses and the cabs stopped services at 7pm. I was going to be the only one in the office from 7pm until 3am dispatching cabs, but then I didn't have to come in. AWESOME!! I need the money and tonight would have been easy, but it was nice not having to be stuck in an office for 8 hrs answering phone calls for 8 hrs.
Tomorrow I have no class so I'm grabbing breakfast with Dallas and then if my shoulder is up to it I'm lifting at the SERF. Then I'll be getting on the bike for about a 2 hour ride with some intervals...I want to ride outside. Then its a night of homework to make sure I get everything I need to get done before Friday.
Friday I need to pick up some ingredients, because I'm making tiramisu for our IMTA reunion on Saturday. So busy right now....
Oh and I'm still trying to find a second job....
Almost 3 weeks down...only 12 left. GAH....

I really don't think I'll do the Ohio State weekend since its so early and its still going to be pretty damn cold. I'll try and get as many collegiate races in as I can. Hopefully I don't crash though. But I think my first race is going to be the DePauw weekend. And then it looks like I may be doing about 16 races this spring...if everything goes smoothly. After all of that we'll have to see where I'm heading so I'm not scheduling any races for the summer yet....
And looking at that schedule I better start doing that training thing.....

CoffeeShop & Work....
I'm at Steep&Brew right now working on homework while working at SAFE. Well ok I'm not actually doing homework right now...you got me. I did do a little bit of it though. I only have to get one more thing done tonight. This semester IS so much better than last semester. At this time last semester I was already freaking out. Its so much nicer being able to calm down and relax.
Other than that I did do a lot of the things I said I would today. Went to the Sunroom Cafe for breakfast with Juneau. We were just going to make it a 30 minute get together, but 2 hours later we got on our ways. Good food, good conversation...what else can you ask for. Well, after that I headed over to the SERF to workout some. I got a pretty good 2 hour upper body workout. I pretty much destroyed my body and it felt good. Probably because I didn't work out for 2 days and ate a bunch of bad food during those two days. Body just does not enjoy that....and doesn't know how to handle all of that anymore. I'll go again tomorrow morning, but work on the lower body. Only 2 more months (60 days) until I have to be in pretty good shape and turn in some digital photos to the Rock of my new body. I'll probably do a before and after when it comes to that time. For now you'll just have to wait.
After all of that working out I jumped on the trainers with Dallas and we did a good 1.75 hour workout. Quality is better at this point for me. So there were some good sprints and simulated 10 minute hill climbs. My legs were pretty much fried. And it felt so good. Did some 30 second on/30 second off intervals for a couple minutes. I was hitting about 450 or so for the 30 seconds. Not my best, but I didn't lose too much strength from not really riding for 5 months. I can't wait to ride outside though....that will be a glorious day....and then the temp will probably drop 60 degrees the next day.
Overall it was a good day. Tomorrow I only have 2 classes and will probably workout when I don't have class. Then I need to work at 7pm until 3am. GAH! Atleast I'll have Saturday night off.
Ok well I should probably get back to the homework thing. Oh and I should have some pics from me on the runway up on here in the next couple off days.

Procrastination?....
I sit here at 1 o'clock in the morning thinking about doing homework and not even coming close to doing it. I really don't have that much to even do...but I just can't get myself up to the "challenge". I really want to do well this semester, but I really have to stop all of this procrastination. I think its just because I'm not busy. I need to get myself into a set schedule or something....and probably get another job.
As for tomorrow/today I'll be getting breakfast at the Sunroom Cafe with Dallas at 9:30am. After that I'll head to the gym and get a good two hour workout in seeing that I've been letting my body recover for the past two days..and then I'm thinking about a solid three hour ride with Dallas at around 3. Then it will be work at 7pm to finish the day off. I really need a different job. I want my nights back and don't want to have to deal with my manager anymore. But most of all...having my nights back is the biggest incentive.
I have to work until 3am on Friday night and that seems thats the night things are going on. And then on Saturday when I actually have off Dallas and Mark will be heading home. So looks like I'll be around Saturday night with not much to do. Blah. We'll see what I'll end up doing.

Good Day For Recovery?....
I would think so. We're suppose to be getting an "arctic blast" here in Wisconsin today. The range of temperatures today will be +36 to -5 with winds reaching over 40mph at times creating wind chills down to -25 degrees and maybe even less. Great day to go outside....don't you think? Thats why I'm going to spend my whole day inside...HURRAH!
Well...it doesn't look that bad. But it is....
Blah...well, it helps my body recover. I definitely have been pushing it pretty hard at the gym and cycling and getting up for class and walking around everywhere for work. My body definitely hates me right now. So today I woke up at noon, ate a bowl of oatmeal and then went right back to bed and woke up about 3:30pm. You're probably mystified how I could do this on a Tuesday...well I don't have school on Tuesdays (or Thursdays). Three days of school a week is so much more manageable. I'm definitely not as stressed, at least for now, as I was last semester. But pretty much I'm fatigued...so today I do nothing....
But I think I have other things on my mind. Not quite feeling like myself the past couple of days. I really don't know why I'm feeling so down right now. I'll hopefully feel better soon....

Riddle me this....
I can wake up at 8am on a Saturday morning after getting only about 4 hours of sleep and operate just fine....but I can't wake up on a school day for an 11am class (and then be 15 minutes late) after getting the recommended 8 hours most people should get....
What the hell!?!
Well today I'm starting the day off with a couple of chores. Then its a 3 hour trainer ride. After that I'm going ice skating and grabbing some hot cocao with Emily (from IMTA). Lastly, I work tonight from 7pm until 3 in the morning.
Tomorrow is boring....I'm working on my online MHR 300 class to get far enough ahead to not have to worry about anything for awhile...

No Motivation....
....For school that is. Yeah I woke up at 11am today for my 11am class. That always feels good. I thought I missed a quiz, but they moved it to Monday thank god. I just really don't want to do this semester....after 5 years of college I just want to be done. Yes LA or NY is definitely on my mind, but its more than that....
But hey...I did actually get on the trainer yesterday. Today probably won't happen though, because of too much work to do. But yesterday I felt amazing on the trainer. Yeah I only went for 2 hours, but threw in some longer intervals and it went well. Hopefully my power is coming back quickly.
I really don't have too much else to report. I work tonight and Saturday night so all of my weekend nights are blown. But I don't drink too much anymore anyways. God I can't wait for this semester to be over....only 14 more weeks!?!

LA or NY?....
That is the question. I guess NY is more the high fashion/runway stuff, while LA is the acting. I definitely have choices now. We'll know more in March or April when I get more pictures for my book. For the next two months I need to become a little bit more buff and defined. Not bigger though...just buffer. Oh and I have to get rid of the tanlines....
Icon in NY wants me...Asia thinks I have potential....and others have all said similar things. Icon was a new one for me. I guess they just didn't put me on their callbacks because they already liked me and had me down as a yes. And another agency did that too...so I guess I had about 19 or 20 modeling callbacks. Thats pretty good. Means I would have almost been the Most Sought After Male Model. Not trying to get a huge ego here or anything. No matter what it looks like I'm going to be in NY or LA this summer. Craziness....both places I would have never seen myself in. You gotta do what you gotta do....
As for school...I had my hopes up and then they came crashing down. At one point I was able to graduate this semester, the next I couldn't. I've talked to a few profs and they've all said the same thing...."even if you can't finish up this semester, still go out there and follow your dream....you can always come back and finish later." That is completely true...but it would be nice to be done and not have to come back.
Ahhh so much is changing in my life. My director pretty much said you're going to be in LA this summer! I must thank her, because she's been taking care of everything and making sure I make it big. Hopefully everything does go to plan....
Well Gehling is here...I'm going to ride a bike for the next two hours before its off to the gym for me. Yes I do actually still ride my bike. Keeps me in shape and I do hope to do a couple races this spring in the A class...and P/1/2....
Ciao ciao....

Icon in NY wants me...Asia thinks I have potential....and others have all said similar things. Icon was a new one for me. I guess they just didn't put me on their callbacks because they already liked me and had me down as a yes. And another agency did that too...so I guess I had about 19 or 20 modeling callbacks. Thats pretty good. Means I would have almost been the Most Sought After Male Model. Not trying to get a huge ego here or anything. No matter what it looks like I'm going to be in NY or LA this summer. Craziness....both places I would have never seen myself in. You gotta do what you gotta do....

Living situation....
Its far in the future and who knows what will happen, but I may be living in Toluca Lake/Burbank when I move out to LA. There's a great deal going on right now and hopefully I'm able to set a deal with the apt building. We'll see....

I actually rode a bike....
Yes it is true...I actually rode my bike this morning. Just for an hour and a half, but I incorporated some intervals to give that intensity. Yes my power is down...but not that much. My endurance is down more. If I can start getting on the bike and atleast ride I'll be able to get up to a racing form. I really want to ride outside though....

Wow...is it cold outside....
So its 0 degrees outside right now and feels like -11 with the wind chill. I am really starting to hate this Wisconsin weather. After being out in Cali I don't think my body likes this Wisco weather anymore....
I at least got out today. I wasn't able to spend time with Chelsee and Emily because things just weren't working in our favor. That was disappointing. So instead I got out to the gym and then went to the book store to buy my textbooks for this semester. Thing is...I don't have any books to buy!?! Thats pretty sweet if you ask me. That saves me about 200$ right there.
It may sound crazy, but I don't want to spend the night in the house so I think I'm going to head out to a coffee shop and do a little work...get things situated for this semester and just relax there with a nice hot green tea. Riding there is going to suck, but it'll be worth it in the end....
Tomorrow I'm going to try and get on the trainer and do some intervals. I know I'm pursuing this modeling and acting thing, but I don't want my cycling endurance to go down...especially if I plan on doing a couple races this collegiate season. Gotta be ready for something at least.
It would be nice to at least be in this shape again. I think my body will improve exponentially when I get back on the bike...I just need to get back on the bike. And well I need to be in good enough shape for Spring Break too. So theres a little more motivation for ya....
