Technology has become junk to me, but as such I feel a great deal of empathy for leftover, abandoned electronic junk. Such detritus becomes a mirror of ourselves—circuits, cables, and hard drives mimic our tissues, nervous systems, brains, etc.—but above all, these technologies die, just as we do. In its obsolescence, technology becomes utterly human.

3415I kinda sorta dislike a lot of the people I know. Maybe just a couple handfuls. Isn’t it a shame how it’s not appropriate to tell people what we think/see about them? I am curious to see why people dislike me as well. I mostly dislike people because they are fake and mean. Simple. Great talk.

Reinhold (7), Tim (6), Me (5) on Wednesday, 11/17/11, when ESPN U Road Trip came to film us. Definitely one of my favorite pictures because of Tim’s face. Love that guy, he’s awesome haha!
All credit for the picture goes to Austin Huettl.

Haters gon’ hate
It seems lately so many people are trying to bring me down, and congratulations, you’ve succeeded in making my life miserable. Some of these people I never thought would do it, but hey, I suppose everyone is capable. Too many fake people, people who tell lies, who would hide from things, who probably don’t like who they are so they have to attack others who maybe genuinely care about them. For whatever reason, people don’t like me. I should say, the ones I thought did, now don’t seem to. And why? Probably because of the same reason as it has been my whole life: stupid rumors, false assumptions, and misconceptions. Well, fine. Hate me. Think what you want, call me any name in your limited vocabulary. I’ve been called every small minded name in the book. The truth is, in the end, I know I am better. I am not whatever negative things may be said. I am not a horrible person. I am not a bad friend. I am not cold hearted. If you don’t like me, I most likely don’t like you either. If it’s jealousy, as my brother would say, don’t hate me ‘cause you ain’t me. Seriously. Be your own person. Don’t try to bring others down because of your own issues. Don’t spread rumors if you don’t know the truth. Don’t be immature, face things head on. And more importantly, remember that those who you hurt, those who you brought down to build yourself up, they will be the ones who will come out on top. Maybe not in the sense of world wide or local fame, but they are the ones who will live the more fulfilled life.

0Small World After All
The world is continually growing smaller. I have met a man who lived in a neighborhood next to mine in CO, and his daughter ends up being on my rowing team. I met a girl who went to the same high school as me in Nevada for a year, yet I don’t remember her. People know where Winnemucca is. The girl from my rowing team from CO graduated from the same high school I did. My PT here in Arizona worked with my hip surgeon back in the day. So many links and connections. So strange. Guess we are all interconnected in some way at some point.
