Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Today I saw a really beautiful moment. A little girl that goes to the daycare I work at came to the U.S from Jamaica a few months ago. She never saw snow before so I brought her outside for 5 minutes to play around. That was probably the happiest I've ever seen a kid in my life, I should have recorded it.

No joke, one of my favorite high school lunch days was grilled cheese and tomato soup day, because unbeknownst to most, you could ALSO get the chicken nuggets. So that day, I would get grilled cheese, tomato soup, nuggets, salad, roll, ranch, one chocolate milk and one juice. I always ate at school on that day.

Now, I like to recreate that every once in a while. I substitute veggie nuggets and drink chocolate almond milk though, and it's awesome.

Supposed to rain for a week. Was out running but got home before the rain. I don't mind biking in the rain, but I do mind cleaning the damn thing up after every ride. I just avoid it. Sucks.

Last night was epic. Hands down, greatest show that I've been to. The whole crowd was just so in to it, and Flogging Molly just knew how to take that energy and throw it right back out at us. Perfect mix of old/new stuff too. And in the merch line to pick up a tshirt, their guitarist Dennis Casey was literally five feet from me. If only I had realized then that it was him to get an autograph/picture. But it was still perfect. Best night I've had in a long time.

Last night I dreamed that I found a Panasonic frame like hairnet's and a Bob Jackson frame in my size in a dumpster. I was slightly disappointed when I woke up.

Woke up for the first time in over a month without back pain, found 50 extra bucks in my PayPal account, and sold my kindle within an hour of getting up. Then I ordered a bunch of parts for another wheel build, took my wife to get her library card, and had the World's Greatest Hot Pocket. THEN we went to the art museum and argued about whether one of Cassatt's works was really impressionist. ****ing best day I've had in forever, and its not even 3pm yet. Hoozah!
