This past Saturday, June 24, 2006, I went mountain biking on the El Prieto trail in Pasadena, California. This trail starts off near JPL like all the other Gabrielino trails. There's a lots of fireroad climbing up Brown Mountain. It's hard to find the El Prieto trail, but once you do it's a pretty nice singletrack. It's an advanced course, so watch out! Be wary of poison oak and cactus plants that are along the narrow paths. It's nice and shaded along El Prieto, but I thought the trail was way too short. I didn't charge my camera so I couldn't take any pictures. I got this picture from www.geoladders.com. This website has info on lots of other great trails. Be sure to check it out. I plan on conquering every single one.
Bird Bombed
I got crapped on while riding my bike yesterday. god Damned birds! Why can't birds sit down and poo like all the other animals?!!!
Teacher Arrested
Teacher Arrested submitted by R.P. formerly B.S.
It's kinda corny but clever.
At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual later discovered to be a public school teacher was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule, and a calculator. At a morning press conference, the attorney general said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-gebra movement. He is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.
Al-gebra is a fearsome cult," a Justice Department spokesman said. "They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a search of absolute value. They use secret code names like 'x' and 'y' and refer to themselves as 'unknowns', but we have determined they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, 'there are 3 sides to every triangle'."
When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes".

This blog was submitted to me by K.C.
It's a very humorous fictional journal about a greedy partner in a big law firm. I didn't think that overworked partners had time to blog, but it makes for a fun read. It's almost as funny as my blog.
You can also check out the website:
www.anonymouslawfirm.com
It reminds me of the book, "1L" because of its subject matter about the trials and tribulations of being a lawyer.
It also reminds me of the book, "Youth in Revolt" by C.D. Payne due to its hilarious sarcastic writing style and journal type entries.
If you've ever worked in a law firm, you'll get it.

Korea vs. Switzerland
Final score: Korea 0, Switzerland 2
I went to Koreatown to watch the FIFA World Cup soccer match during lunch today alongside thousands of other krazy Korean fans. We were all dressed in Red Devil red shirts. I arrived there at half time and caught the half-time show. There were young Korean-American singers and dancers on stage.
There was a big screen outside at the corner of Wilshire and Oxford. A sea of Koreans dressed in red rallied together to cheer for our motherland. Unfortunately, Korea was down 0-1 when I got there. It seemed that Korea had a hard time trying to get some shots in and played defense most of the time against the Swiss.
Time was ticking away and Korea started getting desperate. Then, in the midst of some sort of confusion, the ball was kicked to two Swiss players who were off-side. The Korean goalie, taken by surprise, tried to stop the ball, but the Swiss kicked the ball in and scored. The referee said the goal didn't count because they were off-side, but he was overruled by the officials. That controversial play was the nail that shut the coffin for Korea. Any chance of even tying was lost then. They lost all hope. The Korean crowd in Ktown was struck with disbelief. What a jip!!
I just took off right after the play. I couldn't bear to watch until the end.
Korea will be back in 2010 better than ever though! Just you wait!
I think I'm bad luck for the team because Korea never wins when I watch the game. I should never have gone to see the game.
Maybe, we should rename our team something else besides the Red Devils. Why would god want to help out a team named after the Devil? Why would god answer the prayers of Red Devil worshippers? Perhaps, we should call ourselves the Red Angels or something.
