Have you ever done something every day for a long time, so long it became a habit. Something you thought about all day and looked forward to. Then suddenly Bam something happens and you can't do it any more. You wake up with it on your mind you wait for a break in your day when you will be free to do it and when that break comes you're ready, you're exited then it hits you, you can no longer do that thing which brings you pleasure.
I do not do drugs of any kind I don't smoke drink (alcohol) or have a serious addiction to caffeine (although I do like a Pepsi every now and then) or any other harmful substance. But I am a uni junkie, there I said it I, its my way of getting away. Its just as much of a novelty as riding a bike or a skateboard. When I have had a rough day or my siblings have been loud (which is every day) I like to ride down the road and jump off of things. And nothing feels better than taking a hot shower after riding for a long time, especially when you get hurt (which is quite often).
Any way my unicycle is broken its had several complications and I'm at my wits end. I NEED to get it fixed before I lose my mind!!!!
Uni junkie out :(

Me
Well I guess since I have a blog I should actually post.
I'll just start with the basics of what I like to do.
Probably the number one thing I do is read. If I start a good book I will get nothing done. I have always been into science fiction and fantasy until I discovered something that changed my life forever. The classics! Now I read Charles Dickens, Edgar Allen Poe, and Albert Camus. Don't get me wrong I'll still read Hubbard or Tolkien every now and then, but the mastery of the Classics is unbeatable.
My other obsession is writing, I know it's the classic -nerd reads book and says "hey, I can do that!"- story, but alas that is me.
I am not a very good writer, my stories are dull and my characters are flimsy, but I enjoy it, its therapeutic for me.
Another problem I have with writing is that I always start a new book before I finish the last one. The result is that I have about ten unfinished books on my computer in note books or just on stray pieces of paper.
I think, hope, that one day I will finish a book and publish, maybe.
To further my nerdiness I am a juggler. It all started when my dad came home with a Duncan juggling kit, complete with balls and instructional video. Now I juggle everything in sight including flaming pine cones and snowballs.
Last but not least I unicycle. My father and brother use to ride the unicycle and it inspired me. It all started one day when my dad was at a thrift shop when BEHOLEDETH him a Schwinn unicycle. It was in terrible shape. The rest is history.
Now even though neither my dad nor my brother ride the unicycle I try to ride it every day.
Now let me sort out a common misconception...I am not a big, red-nosed clown riding around terrorizing children. I Muni! Which is simply mountain unicycling. I live on a dirt road where there is a trail that leads to what we call the "Pipe line". Which is a series of large hills that four wheelers, (And muni's) ride up and down.
So that's Ian in a nut shell. Besides sleeping (which is my favorite thing to do) eating and working on my conversion to Judaism.
Post at you later
