Well yea, but how often do you see an open compound fracture of a tibia right in front of your eyes? I see your point for something like a sprained ankle, but once you've got an open wound with bone sticking out, all bets are off. I don't think my initial reaction would have been any different.

Well I guess that makes you some kind of badass or something. Mad props to you brah, next time we will make sure to include better audio of the bone breaking or something. You know, to keep it hardcore.

Sleeping is weird for me. I could get 3-4, and be totally alert and functioning during the day. 5-6, I'm off all day, and can't focus or do anything well. 7-8 is the same as 3/4, and I'm golden. My body is stoopit.

And today I am getting slightly stressed about this week. Lots of stuff to do, and its only Tuesday. Hate the ends of the semester.

Hmm, I average 6 hours a night, perhaps thats why I always hate getting up in the morning.

As long as I don't have to get up until 7 or after, I usually do pretty well, no matter the time I went to bed.

Today I am really stoked. After months of planning over beer, burritos, and mountains, My friend/business partner and I launched the San Francisco Cycling Club. This is gonna be rad. If you're feeling generous, follow us on twitter.

That looks amazin Jandro, congratulations.

Today I made the move to clipless with my M520's and Chrome shoes. Feels pretty cool. Need to adjust my cleats a bit better, though.

I also need to run down to the lbs and grab a longer brake cable.

Oh and the biggest news is that this is my last quarter at UC Davis and I'll be graduating hopefully this Spring, if not I'll have to wait until Summer.

congrats! wish i could play

constructive critiscism:
you might want to specify what speed "fast" and "very fast" generally means, my slow is lightning speed to a lot of people that are just getting into riding

diggin the logo and branding, subtle hint of rapha

ps:i hope your friend jim has some legs of steel with that last name (i kid)
