Things that amaze me.

I'm enjoying the weekend with no obligations, nothing planned to do, 'cept homework. Takin' it easy feels good. I just have a drawing to do and a practice math test.

I've been saving this up for a while: A list of things that amaze me.
God and Jesus
Prayer
Jessica
Mathematics/Geometry
prime numbers especially #'s 3, 7, 11, 13
music
art
the free masons and the key stone
the size of the world and the crazy number of people in it
The solar system, galaxy and universe
the invisible cloak in Harry Potter
and the invisible hand that runs our economy.

That's all I have for now, but I may add more later...

Open doors and open windows.

They say that if one door closes another one opens in it's place. Does that mean that if another one opens that the other door has already closed. Did I miss that? I don't know.
[EDIT] (Added)
I just realized we are going to have a friday the thirteenth. Hooray! This is awesome, I love that. The number thirteen fascinates me especially since there are some strong superstitions related to it. To me a number like that would be lucky, but only because everyone else thinks it's not lucky.

My quality bike.

So, it all started when I started perfecting my biking skills, cause I know that girls only like guys with skills and I needed to work on mine (lol, jk). But I do like to have fun on my bike. I can ride no handed, no handed standing up, no handed and no footed sitting down, I can ride wheelies for a considerable distance, I can even ride down flights of stairs that are about five or ten different steps long. So, I knew it, I knew that going down steps would be hard on the bike. I didn't think the bike was too weak to take it though. On Friday I decided that I would ride down two in a row as I went to get my car so I could move to a new residence hall. It was pretty fun, and nothing happened to the bike, mind you. Later though, I was about a block away from my car, I popped the front wheel over the curb and let the back one come up on its own as I rode over the curb. In doing so I heard this loud cracking sound, as if something had dropped on the pavement or something. I looked back to the spot where I was to see what I had dropped, but there was nothing there. I was bewildered, what could it be, I started to search the body of my vehichle for damage. I looked between my legs at the chain sprocket on the back tire... nothing. Then I looked at the chain sprocket with the pedals on it... nothing. I was starting to have doubts. I checked to see if the cheap bottle holder was still attatched... still nothing. In doing all this I had become aware of a strange gravitational sort of feeling that seemed to be pulling me to the left. Then, there in the distance (okay, okay, I admitt it was only right in front of my eyes) I spotted the problem. All I could do is burst out laughing. The bottom part of the frame had snapped at the part where it meets above the wheels and by he handle bars. This is a bike frame we're talking about, these things don't just snap... I mean, come on, seriously. (Good ol' Huffinator bikes). The top part of the frame had been bent, which had allowed for the breaking point to have quite a gap in it. The bike had been designed to feed the break and gear cables throught the frame. It's pretty much a horrible diesign since it makes it harder to replace them and I later realized that they make fine weak spots in the frame and those two spots are where it broke and bent on the frame (where there were hole in it). Luckily I didn't have much more to go and more importantly I didn't get hurt. It was funny. Now I live closer to all my classes, but if want to get somewhere fast I've been reduced back to skates. Oh well they are fun.
