yo boyyyyzzzz

One time i was traveling to lake placid new york

Going to the OTC my dogs

For a tryout/pushcamp for the United States Bobsled and Skeleton Federation

And you gotta pay $500 just to go to a camp

And get your own plane ticket, and then either rent a car or get a shuttle to Lake Placid which is 2 hours from the closest airport.

In other words, it's a hastle

My trip up there was the worst

Plan is to fly to boston,

Meet this sis, and chill relax and drive a quick 1.5 hour drive to albany

Meet a shuttle and get shuttled in

F'n Delta lost the bag, throws everything into a mess

Running around downtown boston buying up gear and stuff to try out in since my shit is lost..

And then the bag comes in 6 hour late

Just in time for me to miss the shuttle

So I call the wondefully organized OTC (Olympic Training Center)

and ask if they got more shuttles on the way later in the evening.

They are uncertain as the biggest snowstorm since 1693 is coming

And they will inform me later.

So I get a call back about 15 minutes later.

This is what the lady says...

"Hello, William... Yes we have some information in regards to the evening shuttle. It has been cancelled.. Well you see, there were supposed to be 3 athletes but the other 2 athletes were not able to get their flights into albany because of the weather... And we're not gonna send a shuttle for just one athlete"

so i say

"Are you serious"

'yes, i am willie'

"Well in your opinion, what do you think it would be best for me to do"

'I can't give you advice like that. the camp will start tomorrow at noon'

"Well POOH ON YOU"

'what.... what did you say william"

so i said it again

"I said, pooh on you... see ya later"

A day of frustration of lost baggage, dropping $500 bones on gear I didn't have to get, knowing that I will have to take all of it back, and then getting told I'm absolutely F'd about getting to my camp.

I spent the past year busting my ass for this camp.

And it's a friggin challenge just to get there.

Long story short.

Big ass snowstorm, ride what should have been 5 but was 7.5 hours in the back of a 2 door honda civic with a 100 pound dog to get ready for testing the next day.

SO i wake up and check in the OTC around noon.

and come face to face with the unhelpful receptionist lady

She asked for my name and ID.

Gave it to her and she hits me up with.

"Ohh you are the mr. pooh on you"

I chuckle... "yeah that's me"

"Well let me tell you something, that type of language and behavior is not acceptable. We do not have to put up with that and we most certainly will not. That is the only time we will tell you. Now here is your key, you are in room 214. Enjoy your stay"

Stuff like that gets to me.

I am normally a pretty cool and confident dude, but lady caught me off guard and had a prepared speech.

She probably thought about it all night as she was falling asleep

And laid it right on me.

Right there in front of my sister and her fiancee.

And I was a bit out of line for saying pooh on her to her face

Well to her face through a phone

And I hate when I realize i'm wrong, and I feel bad.

It sucks even more when someone calls you out in front of people you respect and love.

It shook me up for a few minutes.

Right after something like that happens, you have a few moments where your mind is not quite right.

Going through that, what the fuck just happened state.

where you feel guilty as a mug, and think everyone is looking at you, and you might be judged by the whole bobsledding world as an asshole for saying pooh on you to the poor old lady receptionist who doesn't even get paid and is a volunteer because she loves the sport.

And that lasts for about 3 minutes for me.

Then you shake it off, realize you fucked up.

And promise to never do it again

But you can't really promise shit like that.

You can just promise that you will always sincerely apologize after

Which I always will do

Falling Into sleep

Falling asleep is sometimes troublesome for me

I just sit here and think about stupid shit when I can't fall asleep

How much money I have and how much I need to make to make sure I pay off credit card bills on time

Doin math in my head and making sure everything adds up ok

Smart willie, no better way to fall asleep than by stimulating the brain with some arithmatic.

And I think about old friends, special people, other junk.

Everybody thinks about different stuff

My boy chris martland says he thinks about this one thing a lot when he's falling asleep

It's a situation, where he asks himself

If i woke up and everyone was dead, but everything on earth was exactly the same as it was today, could i get to europe

This is a very interesting question.

I said I could.

He said how

By plane of course.

He said no way, he doesn't think he would be able to do it.

Chris Perry on the other hand said he would do it no problem, and it would be fun and easy.

But he was a boy scout, and Martland and I were not.

This is a great question, and the way you answer definately shows whether you are a pessimist or optimist.

And according to Harvard, optimists live approximately 3 years longer than pessimists, while living approximately 5 healthy years longer.

Another constant thought when I'm trying to fall asleep

I wish my bladder wasn't the size of a cashew

Because getting out of bed, putting on clothes, and walking down the hall to the bathroom every 7 minutes sucks

Thank you very much for reading

Moved into a new house

A big big house

With badass roommates

Been here a week and it's the best living environment i've ever been in

Since I was a baby and the wiped me, fed me, and put me to sleep with a nipple in my mouth

Huge house, cool roomies, my own room, hardwood floors and a ceiling fan

It's like I died and went to some place just a step below heaven

And my roommates and I went out on the town this past weekend

It was my first time out since earlier in the summer, much earlier

And we rolled with this thai guy who picked up 80% of all the bills named Puphon

pronounced (Poop-ON)

That's always fun to have a well dressed pacific rimmer with cool hair and money to spare

And we rolled in and out of clubs, bars, etc.

I have a golden rule when I go out.

If a girl weighs more than me, I'm gonna dance with her

And that rule was followed to a T

It's really a win win situation.

The big girls love it, I love it, my homies love it.

Everyone goes home smiling :)

I'm gonna try to get this thing going regularly again

Holla

Ya.Ya.Ya

I saw an old friend a few weeks ago

Hadn't seen him in a while

And had the same conversation that we've always had

Hey, what's up how you been.

Look at my new phone I got, and I got these new kicks... gahh i almost wore them... you would love them...

Yeah and I'm thinking about buying a new car and I might get a new job making almost twice as much as I do now

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

The things you own might really own you if you're not careful.
