Lehhhhhhhdoit

Just hanging out Saturday night not much going on but wanted to pen a few lines just to motivate the 3 followers LOL. Ive been doing swell at DNA 2.0 my lil biotech lab in the east bay and things have been good. I took a pay cut going there but got a $10k salary bump after 2 months and things were much better with the new pay LOL. Me being the person I am I get a random call about a job opportunity and I only pursue it because of a close friend who recommended me. Fast forward a few days and text messages and I have an interview that Im very confident in my ability to perform the job needed but the pay may be the only issue. I have mentioned to the boss what I would need to consider and she seemed very much on board. As much as I dont want to leave DNA 2.0 I would not be Nick Valencia if I didnt consider a substantial raise in pay. With the bay getting pricier every year I def want to stay a step ahead of the curve. Loyalty to me is a huge thing though so Im struggling with the mental game thats going on in my head but hoping the compensation part goes over so smooth or so bad that its all not ever a consideration. Put me in your prayers Im trying to buy a house and racecar type shit :)

Seriously?

This will be my one and only political rant and its not even so much political but it will be a short rant. Did all you idiots really seriously think for a second that Hillary Clinton was going to stand trial for anything from emails and/or Benghazi? No fucking way man. She was not for any momentary second ever in any hot water at all. And if you thought she was headed to prison I have another news flash for you, Trump has absolutely 0% chance of becoming the president. Pack your bags and start looking for a Canada home to purchase because for the love of the USA the world is pretty fucked up but its never blatantly outright ugly and thats what Trump represents. He might have had a chance being voted in with a conservative style and then just going crazy like a straight 180 when he got in office but representing this whole fear kill em all deport everyone propaganda? Dumbass. Anyway thats it for the rant. Hillary gonna be around for awhile so get used to her pretty face.

Poolside thoughts

Sittin in Vegas hangin out for a few days trying to switch up the scenery a little bit is current situation  and temps are high. Like way high. Like 110degree high lol makes taking a quick swim an easy decision for sure. Vegas is always my low key vacation spot where I know I can get away has the relaxation option and if I felt like raging out that's right up the street as well. Been frequenting the city for more than 10 years give or take as I've always had friends that have lived here. As usual on the flight over you generally see a few people who are getting an early start to the Vegas party, I was fortunate enough to meet a pair of unique individuals who as luck would have it were going to a life choices seminar all the while telling me about cocaine tales. It was comedic to say the least and the female cut hair for a living. Coke head or not let me get that number I need a new barber anyway. It was a funny conversation and it was really telling and revealing in not just her and his personal interests but also how diverse Vegas can veto so many people for different reasons. It's truly a testament on things are ideal depending on how you approach them and you perception of the opportunities laid in front of you. Here we were a group of people from the same place heading to the same place and for  vastly different reasons. When I told them I would just be low key both of them said well can't you be low key at home? Haha yeah but they could also get coked out at home right? Goes both ways doesn't it? I feel like same is true in life in general you can always find the ingredients  and scenario to do great things or negative things just all about how you look at what's in front of you or where you position yourself. Work hard people and give yourself the best shot at being happy with whatever you choose to do. 111degrees now and the pool is calling again. #wetwet

Success.

"Success took a shot at you what are you gonna do? We can be successful and have enemies or we can be unsuccessful and have so called friends"

So much to catch up on.

Ok so first off Bailey had a surgery and that jazz ran me like $1500+ but she is doing great now and its money well spent. The the Evo decided to get hungry and gobble up 4th gear somehow? Yeah go figure. So thats gotta get fixed and unfortunately that will be the last chapter in the evo story because once I get it all sorted out it is being sold. Been a blast having it always wanted to own one definite dream car for sure, but cant handle the inconsistency of it. Id like to say I thought long and hard but it really wasnt a hard decision. Ill still have it for a long time Im sure because everyone is broke and that car wont be cheap, I dont need to sell at all so it can sit for all I care. Then the really good news I have been helping Alex rebuild the local track which basically consists of him building and me standing around. Pretty hyped on the progress and kids in the future will def get skills. Suck it up now kids and reap the rewards later in life. I also randomly tore my khakis Ive been racing in for awhile and decided fuck it and bought a gear kit. Itll be the first gear kit Ive had in YEARS but Im excited for it. And then I bought a complete used bike just for the back wheel? It made sense at the time LOL and new DXR cranks I ordered too just because they were cheap LOL. Ive been a financial mess as of late but hey whatever Ill make all that money back is all I can hope. Im super jealous of all the goon kids who are at UCI Worlds this week. Hope some local kids can take down the task of getting those elusive main events. Worlds is never a cake walk and weird shit happens so here is to hoping their skills outweigh the good or bad luck that inevitably occurs. Really hoping they kick some ass out there, and not just the USA riders but just everyone in general hope they have good solid laps. I think thats all for now sorry Im too lazy to upload a photo but Ill owe ya one!

Asshats

Why why why does it always end up being the stupidest people in control of all the stuff with so much potential. Todays rant is based about Tre Whyte outta the UK to give you a brief overview he is a top tier  rider in that region and a top 5 guy for sure if not top 3. Basically the UK has a few qualified entrant spots available to them and they are choosing to not send that allotment of riders. I get it. If you only have squids who cant ride for squat then yeah decline your spots. But that aint the case! With the Manchester facility they have plenty of riders who are competitive and deserve a chance. Thats what makes the fucking worlds the motherfucking worlds! You cant claim to be the fucking best in the world when not everyone is even allowed to enter the race. Tre Whyte hands down fucking deserves a spot on that gate. If he gets beat fair and square Im fine with that and in all honesty I dont see him making a main, but its BMX and if you cant climb on the gate you have 0% chance of winning. By climbing onto the gate your chances have just increased 100%. Fucking tool boxes are in charge of the UK cycling scene and they need to be cycled out no pun intended. Whatever the backroom personal vendetta is I sure would like to know and I could respect them more if they came out and said fuck Tre instead of the political nonsense. And to take it even further I think Kyle Evans and Liam are weak as fuck too. You stay together and you come out and say fuck it Im not riding if my team mate cant ride. Show some fucking solidarity to your fellow countrymen to your fellow fucking rider. Thats the problem its become such a fucking selfish, train your brains out and not give a fuck about anyone. Shit has lost its soul and thats why it will always be a side show. BMX racing will always have the sad issue that when push comes to shove none of these fuckers have a spine and the majority of people are in it for themselves. Sad Sad Sad. Tre-here is to you my man fuck the politics everytime you gate up wherever it may be race with the passion that you and only you can imagine and use that fire to burn the tool boxes working against you. #PeckhamForever

Amazing?

I shouldn't even call it amazing because at this point in my life it doesn't amaze me as much as I begin to expect it. And in learning to expect it, you become sharp and can start to counter the actions of the situation. What is the situation? Well it nearly happens daily sometimes multiple times a day and sometimes it goes for days and weeks without ever popping up. But its basically in a nutshell a person with a piss poor shit ass attitude who just goes out of their way to just be for lack of a better word and to be able to use my favorite word when someone acts like a fucking CUNT. Yeah I said it. If you know me super well like really really well and you can gauge your level of friendship with me right here if you know me enough to know I hate speaking to people I don't know its for this same reason. Because the less people I have to speak with or deal with a day the lesser my chances of meeting one of these asshole people. So if I can have someone else call an order a pizza Im doing it. If someone else can ask the server for a refill of our drinks I gladly let them. I just know that the less I deal with anyone the better my chances of not wanting to explode are going to be LOL. Today a very special person who is a tool absolute insecure fucking tool just went out of his way to prove a point when a point wasn't needed. To enforce his will when it wasn't warranted. I remedied the situation in my own way so he feels he won and he shit talked me and of course behind my back because you gotta have a pair and a spine to at least speak down to me like a man. Thats very much not him. As I anticipated the douchebag moves I began to counter and took the precautionary steps to stay ahead of the idiot. What did he accomplish? Zero. Enough about this clown lets get to the good feel good part of the blog. If you ever are going in on someone or shit talking them behind their backs, Im not perfect Im the biggest hypocrite I know so don't compare yourself to me always be better than me. PLEASE BE BETTER THAN ME! Anyway just be good to people. If you don't understand them you may not know the stuff the backstory they are dealing with or their vision. Be good to one another. Half the time its not going to cost you anything to be kinder to one another. You gotta try harder people and when we all do a slight bit more I know we can make strides. Thats all. Salute the douchebag fucks out there tomorrow you will wake up as your lame ass and Ill wake up as me. Like Puff Daddy would say "Take that"
