brakes. that's cute.

headed out for the picnic now. I picked up some new records yesterday that i think she may enjoy , and new batteries for the ol' PT-01 portable Numark turntable. We will see how it goes.

edit: i just got back. the picnic was ruined by people passing through the park for some stupid festival nonsense and some kid asking me about my records and my bike. so we went to this party house (actually the same place we first ran into each other.)We watched a bunch of cats get drunk and play stupid party games blah blah. she sat next to me while i talked about comics and music to some dude for a minute, then again later when i was talking to this kid about bikes. Anyway, a bunch of us went out to a diner talked about snuff films, comics, racism and lesbian porn, got some eats and went back t the house to drop people off. she offered me a ride back to my place (with her friend she picked up on the way to the party) but i declined and took a ride back to the park to get my bike. I was getting out of the car and i turned to say if she wanted to hang out again we should and she kissed me goodnight. i got out and got my bike and rode home. now i have to get up in three hours to drive and hour and a half to paint bikes, screen print spoke cards, and go see Hellboy 2.

She DOES NOT know my name, and when she pulled the "how do you spell your name" trick i said just like its sounds, but with a K and a T. then i took her it put it in her phone i put it in as UP THE BIKES.

god this is a fucking soap opera isnt it? anyway. i figured out the x factor in his one. she didn't actually RIDE with me. she just supports it. so i think that may be the trick. Cute ex messanger boy with cute bike works better than legit bike enthusiast looking to ride with girls.

yeah in aussie it means vagina. makes it much funnier.

Anyway, i ran into the girl today at the store when i went to buy the movie Uncle Buck. It was then that i realized i didn't know her name. she walked up to me and grabbed my sleeve and was all cute and shy lke and said hi and we talked. she said shes thinking of buying a bike and asked me a bunch of questions. then it occurred to me that she doesn't know my real name either. its awkward. anyhow, we're going on a picnic. that my friends is the epic conclusion. kinda sub par. i still am 90% sure she doesn't know my name. i made her put her number in my phone so she had to add her name.

There is a chocolate store here called Fanny Farmer. My friend from Australia almost died laughing at that and i thought it was a bit funny. until she explained what fanny meant in aussie.

Wow! English Lit: Comic book literature. Cool. I would have liked to study that.

Judge Dredd instead of Joseph Conrad - what's not to like?

(Though traditionally the Venn diagram of 'adults interested in comics' and 'girlfriends' does not have a big overlap...)

We actually look at quite a large number of UK comics (a lot of Alan Moore actually) and We've discussed Judge Dredd two weeks ago when talking of dystopia.

Again. This story wasn't about trying to fuck any girls. It was just a funny little story.

I think I've spotted where you're going wrong, or at least one of the ways;

Depending upon your point of view, calling women birds is either offensive objectification, or the lamest attempt at bravado possible. Either way up you end up looking like a loser.

I like to go with offensive objectification. It's better than saying "broad", "dame", or "skirt"
Also the "level" in question was a joke. It's more of the point that I am scared of girls.
And I just thought this was a cute and somewhat entertaining anecdote. Guess not.

I teach 11th grade English and a 12th grade elective course (English Lit: Comic Book Literature)

and i like the hill plan...

was it called 9/11: we had it coming? should have been.

i'm voting mccain. also was there a obama alley cat i missed? because if not they the cards. just saying. tradition has its place. and it's between the spokes.

stabbed. ha. i wish all i had to worry about was being stabbed. my mates got mugged in baltimore with a guy threatening him with aids blood.

but a lot of delivery/pedal cab kids i know tend to drop deposits off at a few spots during their runs.

I teach English actually. haha. I'm only a sub at the moment though. these aren't my students, what the fuck! My favorite is when the kids i sub recognize me from riding and ask to see my tattoos in school.

off subject. back on track. i'll prolly see this girl thursday or friday, so maybe i'll talk to her. we will see. but i dunno if shes up to my level. i don't know if you realize how attractive of a man i am.

1. i am a teacher.
   
2. i'm 25.
   
3. "kids" in question are 21-28ish.
   

so i've discussed my bad luck with girls and bikes. but lets talk about somethign good for once shall we.

basically if you know me you know i ride/build fixies and i love records, and drink nothing but Coke.

i was at a party the other night (july 4th) and i went to this punk house (sort of. more like a wannabe punk house, but my mate wanted to go blah blah) and i ran into a bunch of kids i knew. it was actually a pleasant surprise. i talked to this one bird for a bit and then i left and drove home some drunk girls.

the next night i went past a club and a bunch of kids i knew were outside so i stopped by and went dancing with some (it was one girls birthday and it seems I'm the only guy that enjoys dancing? its weird) anyway this one girl came up to me and was like i got you this!
she said" i saw that a lot of people ride bikes like yours with cards in the spokes
. i saw this and it made me think of you."

it was a a coke playing card. it was really a cute effort, despite her slight ignorance. we talked a while about thema nd what they mean and stuff, but it wasn't until the next day that i realized she was flirting with me.

i'm so stupid.

I've done this a time or two for potential suitors. though they've rarely showed much appreciation for the amount of time and work that goes into building up a bike. i'm glad to see there are still birds out there that appreciate small things.

i slammed pretty hard into the edge of a Cadillac's door once last summer, and it just bruised my shoulder. his door was a little bent and couldn't quite close proper, but after going back and yelling hegot mouthy and i rode off with his door bent AND dented.

i consider myself very lucky. i've seen a few very nasty hits in my time riding.

i have t help customers when i'm on my lunch break everyday. i enjoy a daily meal of cold what the fuck ever i ordered.

cause i found a guy that has two and wants to sell them for $500 for the set, but told me he's give em to me for a 4 spot.

it's just the frames and the forks. one is way small for me, the other is almost perfect.
what t do what to do...

+1 for clipless. fuck cages.

Thnx fred!
I believe it was 2,5 chains... :-)

It's a pretty heavy chain...

thats a good point. thats where i found my first bike, but i'm away at University now. I'm calling some fellahs down there now to keep an eye out for me.

i go to the velodrome in Trexlertown PA. outside of philly. its a fun time. i just really want a new frame. i have so much unused sweet parts (two Chris King headsets, campy record pista cranks phil wood hubs.), and i don't want to waste them on a conversion or anything, and i can't afford a cinelli right now.

errr.

old. this is played often at work. still hilarious.

i am fucking sick to the back teeth of the term hipster. it is really difficult to be involved with bikes at the moment without constantly hearing this fucking stupid word every bloody day. i'm so bored of hearing about it. there have always been trendy, self-conscious pricks. who cares. the whole issue is a complete non-event. mostly it is used it used to differentiate between you (a hardcore, seasoned, dedicated cyclist and bicycle enthusiast) and 'them' (posing, fashionable, bandwagon-jumping tossers). it seems to me that a lot of people have a chip on their shoulder about being seen to be a hipster. there are no hipsters, only people. it's just another imported stereotype, sold to us by media and bullshitters.

[/rant]

thats hipster talk.

i agree though. i hate how terms like that flow from underground cultures into mainstream culture and the meaning is changed. i feel silly for using the term.

you hipster.

good thing i don't want it for the road. though i love a super stiff frame so it might work for this dude.

that there is a difference between a track frame and a road conversion/single speed frame.

i'm sick of looking around on ebay and such and seeing "track frame" only to see the lax geometry and all sorts of braze ons.

fuck! if you're going to jump into something, you'd think they'd know a thing or two about it.

i just want a sweet little track bike for the drome.

=(

thast what you get for going to college. nerd.

if shits coming out out of focus, try resetting the lens, , cleaning the lens etc.
