What JP!?!
No! Fall doesn't suck, the temps are great, snow hasn't fallen, and those leaves make great extra padding.
Right, they do make great padding, and the temps are great, and fall would be awesome, but, school happens. And lets put it this way, when you have school everyday till 3:00, no gym to climb at and a sun that decides to duck its head at around 7:00, Fall sucks.
Everyday in school I would daydream about where I wanted to go during the weekend... climbing wise, of course... and every night I would dream about climbing. Unfortunately, I am on my second week without climbing currently and I'm starting to see how this sport is like an addiction to some crazy hard drug.
-You try it because you think it's fun or a friend suggests it
-Most likely you may first try it with your friends
-You start doing it more and more
-People think you are crazy when you tell them about it
-Your friends consist mainly of other people who do it
-(In extreme cases)You find yourself sleeping on things that weren't meant to be slept on just to get a power nap in before you head off to find your next fix, eating nothing but cheesepuffs.
Coincidentally, the same symptoms apply to World of Warcraft users.
Yes, this blog post is negative, but that's my life right now. I come home from school and get a daily pump hanging on the molding of door frames. As fellow climbers, I hope you can relate, everyday I am not climbing is directly proportional to how badly I want to climb.
I mean, just look at this post! The only reason I am posting it is because talking about climbing is as close as I can get to climbing at the moment.
It's 10:04 PM on a Saturday and the fact that my non-throbbing fingers don't scream or secrete some strange fluid every time I type a letter is bothering me. Is that sick? Maybe. Am I okay with that? Yeah.
What happens to you guys when you don't climb?
Discuss plz.
In other news this guy Joel who took some pictures of the Boulderwoods Comp has not sent them to us yet... I'm waiting. Uhm... Murph hurt a digit and is out for a little. Last I heard, Ben and Nyle have been crushin' in New Paltz daily. If anyone is headin' out to climb, please, please contact me.

Sucks man.
ReplyDeleteIf you can make it down to PKill on Sunday, I think a ton of people from E-City are gonna be there.
JP...Keep your head up high buddy! Enjoy school while you have it, I would die to be done at 3:00 in the afternoon; when you enter the white collar "real world" the workday seems to never end 6,7,8 pm. Regardless, get out when you can and keep the psych levels HIGH. Sick newness going down in the Caroga Lake region...get at me this fall!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, best time of the year to roll with the lanterns and headlamps Kid...Sick temps!!!
