Me
So today I browsed a few photoblogs and a few websites of friends of mine and strangers alike. It seems this time of year many people are in a self examining mode, looking for the answer of life or just searching for something. Any how i decided to go with the crowd and post some photos of my self that I took last November when I was sporting a beard. I might let it grow again for the winter but I heard it might slow me down on the slopes. Any how I wouldn't mind getting you guys to post some comments from time to time but its alright I get enought feedback in person when I see people and I know you are reading from time to time. C'mon click on that little comment button below. Just write BOO! or something. BOO HOO! GRRR! AHHH! what ever your choice. You could also tell me something about your New Year Reflections. You can click -->Here<-- to see the rest of this series of self portrait photos.

Just a scratch
Sorry for another self portrait, but I just want to show everyone that although i've been busy working at home with monika, I have been resting and getting better. My body soreness is all gone. Today I went to see the doctor and he said its healing very nicely. So maybe after this weekend Monika and I will be riding again!! Tomorrow I think the rain stops and I'll be out with my camera to take some real photos of Vienna.

The Face of Humility
So yesterday Monika and I stayed home during the day organizing the apartment. We finished unpacking and I got my closet and draws in order. Its great this past week we've just working on getting me situated and set up. I am really thankful for Alex, Monika's younger brother; he got me my computer that I've been posting and skyping with. So then... after working at home all day we went to Robert, Monika's older brother, and his girlfriend Sabine's house warming party. There were lots of friends, food and drinks as well. We had a great time. Robert and Sabine are the hosts with the most. They really throw a great party. So on the way home, me and Monika were biking; I passed out or blacked out and fell on my bike. There is how I got to look like I do in this photo. I'm ok and not really hurt. just a scratch really. I had to get a stitch just under my eye and I have a couple of bruises. Any how the reason I decided to post this is because many times we as people can be too cocky and careless. I take this as a big lesson to be learned. I am so lucky that I didn't lose an eye or even worse. I am a humble person usually and very careful. So today I feel a bit mortal and human. Even though I know in life these things happen I will be checking my behavior better in the future so that these sought of things are avoided. I want to say thanks to Monika's brother,Sabine,Franz, and Suzette who came to the hospital with Monika. In addition I am sorry for scaring Monika. Anyone reading this make sure to not tell my grand mother. So I also try to find the comic sides to things so in parting, it only took me 4 days to almost get killed here.
