The End of a Journey

I just finished reading my favorite books last night. The Wraetthu Chronicles by Storm Constantine. There are 5 books in total found in 3 volumes, the first 3 books are in one volume. If you like A-typical fanatsy novels that strech your mind and capture you with outstanding character develoupment, then I would highly suggest this set of books. I've read the first 3 books 4 times and the series all the way through twice. The name of this blog was inspired by these novels.

I always fee at a loss when I finish reading any of these books for I wish I could read about these characters for the rest of my life. I find inspiration amidst the pages of these books for my art and daily life. I hope everyone gets a chance to read such fantastic penmanship and story devlopment in their life. On the cover of each book there is a quote that reads "I wouldn't swap her for a dozen Anne Rice's" -Neil Gaiman. This statement sums up the writing ability of Storm Constantine and I urge everyone to pick up her work.

My next endeavor in literary works will be the Autobigraphy of Benjamin Franklin. I've read a few chapters in previously and was astonished of the amazing experienced by Benjamin Franklin. Nothing I have seen orheard in my life has done justice to the life of this great man and I look forward to further enlightenment of this great figure in American history.

I'm goin climbing at the gym tonight and I feel as strong as I've ever been. I've stepped up my curls from 13lbs to 23lbs and am up to 3 sets of 15 vs 3sets of 5 last week. Mmmm chicken nuggets! I've also been working my core real hard using my 23lbs dumbell with crunches and some leglift variations. I feel this will help me a lot in my bouldering and can tell the difference in the short time I've been using these exersizes. I can feel my first top out on a 5.10 coming, I think today is the day.

Custard, Milk and Bus Transfers

I missed my bus transfer on my way to work, causing me to be 30 minutes late on a day we start an hour later than normal(how embarassing!). However, there was great benefit to this tradgedy. The stop I was left standing in the cold at is within a block of Plehn's Bakery, one of Louisville's finest confectionaries. Taking a break from my book, I took the time to cram a massive doughnut down my throat and wash it down with some milk(crucial).

Now I sit at work and just remembered I still have a custard danish and a half a chug of milk(werd!). Realistically I should have gotten a chocolate 'eclaire for breakfast, as they are by far the most phenominal creation plehn's has to offer.

On a lighter note, it's Friday! The weather sucks and I can't wait until tomorrow as I will be off work and doing everything I can to con one of my unsuspecting friends into driving to somewhere with a boulder I can climb on. Until then I will tough out the short day at work like every friday and convince Mike to go to the gym tonight to climb. Maybe someone will have gotten bored and set a new V1-V3 problem so I have something new to beat my head against. Or maybe I'll find someone there to catch me so I can accually climb some routes. There are a few 5.10a/b routes that I think I can top out at the gym but haven't had the opportunity to try past what I can boulder.

My First Blog <3

Today is a monumentous day in the life of Rob Prince. Today I started my first blog, and you're reading it! Due to my obsession with bouldering, I recently started reading blogs. So naturally the next step was to become a blogger myself!

I recently bought a bouldering pad so I can take my adventures in climbing beyond the gym and sparse occasions in the great outdoors. However, my truck has experienced long delays in getting repaired since a misshap with it's head gasket. Not to mention the start of spring in the Ohio valley has left my weekends with little to look forward to due to poor weather conditions. The bouldering pad has however come in much use as a replacement for my bed, which I've found out isn't nearly as comfortable as my new 62"x48" piece of foam. It's Laughable really.

I look forward to this Saturday as I intend to con one of my friends into driving to Red River Gorge or Muskatatuk State park for some much anticipated intimacy with local geology. The weather is forcast to be poor all week except Saturday, WOO!

In Celebration of my new blog I've decided to put together a list of names for all the problems I intend to set and FA. I know, I'm bored at work!
