Google is great, you know? You can find anything, anywhere, anytime. ... Or atleast you get about a million hits containing any form/combination of the words you typed into the box. Either way it provides ample distraction from class...er 'study breaks' if you will. My favorite search is peoples' names. Sometimes you actually get hits returned from the actual person in mind. Other times you get a hit with some poor unfortunate soul with the same name of the guy you looked up. Anyways, so I'm sitting in class, er, i mean, I studiously paying attention never deviating from what was going on with NO thoughts of open roads my bike and finish lines, and I google my name. interestingly enough, the first hit on the page is from Mugshot.com...so i google it again. ... Same hit. Apparently, among other things, I am a criminal from Idaho or something. Of course my brother Emmett's name returns some environmental hit and only like 3 hits down is something actually about him. Go figure... So this leads me to wonder what Mark returns...and apparently he is a sports photographer.
Well, I guess since class is almost out I should finish this up. Did I say almost over? I TOTALLY meant about to begin, because I am so studious that I found time BETWEEN class to do this and didn't burn precious learning time to...ok, yeah this is a lost cause. Hope you enjoyed my Jazz History class as much as I did!

Downtown ATL
Due to my recent discovery of fun, I have not posted. There is a lot to do in the ATL I have found, er, been showed really. Amanda and I have been doing a lot of fun stuff that doesn't really require any money...which is good cause she doesn't have a job and I spend all my money on bike stuff. I have come to find that the buildings themselves are way cool. While we were walking to the park the other day we passed by Peachtree corners (this shopping center thing thats under this really cool building) and walked around for a while, just wandered through. When we did finally emerge back into the city we stumbled upon the glass ceiling of Peachtree corners. It had this cool seating area around it and we just chilled for a while, laid back and watched the clouds rush over head. We did eventually meander down to Centennial Park to throw the softball around (she's trying to get back into for intramurals). The ball throwing has actually become a really entertaining, regular activity.
Another Great thing about the city is that it has really fun places to study. It is so much more fun, and productive, to grab your laptop, a book, and go sit outside a little coffee shop, or plaza and study. Its so much more fun to sit outside than in the room. And if you need a study break you can just people watch.
Thanks to both people that read this, I hope that you got something out of it. But I have a paper to write, so until next time...go fly a kite
