A Good Rant.

Recently I have figured out there are people in this world that I never want to meet. Since Cory has been doing this whole Pisgah Stage Race Blog Contest I have not meet people, but read what they have wrote and have now deciphered that I never want to meet some of these people ever in my life.I have recently been wanting to get into racing, but now I am not so sure that I want to come face to face with people. Okay I agree Cory does not have the best grammatical skills and his blog to everyone who does not know him may lack a sense of humor or "entertainment." However, I have never been so appalled by people in general. To them Cory is just some kid who can't spell and how dare he even enter a contest to get a free entry into a race that he will have to blog about. Just so everyone can get just a small taste of where I am coming from here are some examples:

"This seems pretty simple. The individuals who are the best writers and provide the most entertainment should be picked (not voted on by Facebook fans). The current leader has absolutely no writing ability, and provides little, if any, entertainment value (read that as comedy). This is not a direct dig against that person, all I'm trying to say is that his blog is boring and would reflect poorly on Blue Ridge Adventures if he won. The two individuals in second and third place are good at what they do (blog) and would be much more entertaining to read. I hope this doesn't come down to who has the most friends on Facebook, but to who is qualified to represent Blue Ridge Adventures in the best manner."

"My sixth grade students have better grammar skills then this kid"

Okay now that we are all up to date on this hypocrisy let's address some of the facts that the Hippocrates decided to add as their main points.

1) I have read Dick Head's blog and it is cool I guess. I mean he does have a good blog and his minions do love to read about it. Yes he is older than Cory and I am sure he has more time to blog about all his crap he does with his single-speed.

2) WOW really people everything in life is a contest and a popularity contest. I would think that everyone would have experienced that either in high school or at their first job interview that someone they knew helped them get their foot in the door. Everything is about who you know in life. If you people haven't realized that then you guys might need some help.

3) Seriously get over it! If you don't want to read his miss-spelling then don't read it. That "seems pretty simple".

4) Maybe one person has went and read all of the contestants blogs. I have so maybe I am that one person. Let's just all state the known fact people who voted for who they knew not based on good blogging.

5) Cory is good at what he does which is riding his bike.

6) Blogging has nothing to do with grammar or writing skills. A blog is just a website that anyone can talk about anything that they want to. If I wanted to write about dung beetles I could. If I wanted to talk about watching paint dry on a wall I could. That is what a blog is your own personal thoughts. So maybe Cory's personal thoughts are miss-spelled and only people who actually know him understand his humor. SO WHAT it is his blog he can do write that down.

7) Really you think "you know what is best for Blue Ridge Mountain Adventures". NO you don't so go shove it. It reflects poorly on you that you assume "you" know what is the best reflection for Blue Ridge Mountain Adventures. Cory is dedicated to his riding and a great rider how could that reflect poorly on BRMA? He has raced in many races and won quite a few. He has sports manship and has not once talked back to your slang. He holds his head high and accepts what he can not change while you blog and make snide comments because Dicky is loosing.

8) Every single person who is entered into this contest wants a free entry into the biggest race in the East The Pisgah Stage Race. DUH!! Not because they want to blog about it. I have no doubt that they will do that anyways.

Final Thoughts:

These people do not even know Cory they do not know his love for Mountain Biking and the sport of Cycling. They are not there when he is climbing up a epic hill or do his intervals on the roads around his house for his training. They do not have the heart or the love for the sport that Cory embodies. So what if he can't spell and does not blog everyday. He is too busy training, riding, building random trails outside his house in the woods, and just enjoying life. Cory is an awesome person and a great mountain biker and if he can get this opportunity I know that he will do something great. He also makes me smile constantly he is a great person and you should really get to know him if you don't already.

I Love you Cory. Hope you don't get mad at me for this but these are my personal thoughts and I just had to share them.

P.S Since this is a contest will you please go vote for Cory Rimmer and help make his dream come true so that he can race in the Pisgah Stage Race. Here is the link http://on.fb.me/VOTE-HERE you have to have a facebook account to vote. It would mean a ton to me. Please Vote.

Birthday. Munchie. Life

Friday The 13th of May was my BIRTHDAY!! Yes 20 years ago was the day that I graced this earth and my lovely family with my presence.  I can only assume that 20 years ago it was awesome that I arrived and well I know that my Birthday this year was actually to my surprise quite awesome as well.  After coaxing Cory into coming over the night before in promise of French Toast the next morning I knew I had to get up and make some French Toast to begin the day. It was a feast I must say almost making an entire loaf of bread to appease the never ending black hole of hunger known as Cory Rimmer.Then off to work where I found out it isn't half bad to work on your birthday.  You ask why?? Because everyone has to be nice to you.  I mean it is your birthday for goodness sakes. Not only that I got 4 credit applications which is kind of a big deal.  Which means I am kinda a big deal. Just Kidding. It is just I have to get so many credit apps for work or else I could get fired. Anyways after work I went over to Cory's and Cory kinda gave me in a way the best present ever!! He kinda in a way gave me MUNCHIE!!!
                                                                                                 
 This is Munchkin. That is his real name, but Cory and I call him Munchie for short. Like I was saying Cory gave me Munchie kinda after I asked if I could have him as my birthday present. See Munchie is a stray that Cory's mom and sister found in Friendsville in the middle of the road. So they picked him up and there for a week put up posters and nobody claimed him. So instead I claimed him and I love him.  He is awesome. He is really well behaved and just a sweet dog. I have taken really good care of him and took him to the vet where he could get his shots and everything.  Munchie is flee, tick, and rabies free. He is still an itchy bug, but that is okay with me it is funny the way his leg twitches when you scratch his tummy.

Since I have gotten Munch I have taken him everywhere with me basically like the other day we went to Cory's race in ducktown together which was fun. He just kinda hungout in this bag that I brought. Yet when he did finally get out and about he was a hit at the race.  He is a people dog. There and back he just slept curled up with me or next to Cory.  That is when he wasn't getting his view on,  looking out the window on Cory's lap. He is a driver's seat dog no question about it.

Cory got 4th at Ducktown. I thought he did awesome even though he wasn't too happy with the outcome since he did not get paid for his hard work. However, he was pleased when I treated him to some awesome race day Quiznos for free. Anyways that is about all that has been going on with me besides the normal stuff. I am glad that we found Munchkin because now he has the best home ever and I know Cory and I both love him. Plus the best thing about Munchie is that he loves Blue Cheese like me too!!

I AM A GRADUATE!!!

So like I am still really horrible about updating my blog here and I should really try harder to update it more often. However that is besides the point. 

Yesterday I graduated from Roane State Community College with an Associates of Science. I graduated Cum Laude which means that I achieved a grade point average above a 3. 50 so I was very proud of that fact. I also graduated with Honors so that is really cool. It was a really huge step for me I am so glad that I am getting the heck up out of Roane State. I had to sit through the long on going speeches and hear my nemesis speak about her experiences at Roane State. As soon as they introduced her I looked over at Cory and he knew that it was her the girl who beat me at the President's Award. He gave me a sweet smile which meant your silly and get over it all at the same time.

Me getting my diploma my fake diploma actually and some pin that says Roane State Alumni. It is kinda blurry oh well you get the jist.

Cory and I! I look like a fatty yay lol

Cory trying to teach me to slide down stairs. Which is way too scary for me to especially with all the broken bones I have had.

Cory driving me home after graduating and yelling about my smelly feet.



So that is that and I am out of school for the SUMMER!! I have a lot of things planned like my trip down to the keys for the summer biology field trip. I am gonna be working as well I am getting quite a bit of hours which is awesome.

I would like to give a big thanks to my Mom, My family, and Cory who have all really helped me get to this point. My mom knows me so well she got me a sweet hammock for gradutaion present!!

Love you Cory.

Happy Mother's Day Mom!!
