Bigwheels are cool

Say what you will about Travis, DC Shoes, Rally car racing
and all of the other nonsense,
this is WTF.

changes

there will always be change.
Yes, I know that's a given.
But with everything going on in life,
it'ld be nice if some things could just be drama free.
For over two years all I've wanted is to just show up to work,
do my job,
and go home afterwards.
I never saw saw 'hostile work environment',
or 'must endure inappropriate comments' in the job description.

Now my joke has been,
I'm going to get a job as a heavy duty mechanic,
since I spend so much time under a bus.
(the bus I constantly get thrown under, get it?)

Sarcastically speaking, it's AWESOME that the economy is so bad,
the prevailing attitude is "if you don't like it, then leave".

So it was an awakening of sorts,
time to look at my life,
and figure out what options exist.
It has also helped keep things in check,
like the wanting of a new bike,
or more like - what can we do for a family vacation this year?
Where are we at with our bills?
Do we really need THAT, or THIS?
What things can we do without?

With both art and bikes,
my April and May are already getting booked full.
But with each event,
I'm trying to look at the possibility of growth,
networking,
'baby steps',
a backup plan,
or plan B.

As uncomfortable as change may be,
it should be welcomed.

It's just draining.

WTF? A new category

I finally realise,
with all the random crap in my life,
this is an overdue category.


WTF?!
that passed me,
It looked like a waiter,
in FULL TT tuck,
stole a time trial bike,
and someone was after him.
But there was no one else,
Suitpants flailing,
dress shirt and loafers with flat pedals,
what you miss from my delayed camera skills
is the aviator glasses and early 90's goatee.
As I rounded the corner,
I nearly clipped him,
as he must have missed his turn and was doubling back,
on the wrong side.

My thought? Waiter, still clinging to the hipness of the 90's,
finally hooks up with a cougar alone at last call,
they take cab to her place,
husband walks in,
waiter flees to the garage, finds husband's TT bike,
and sprints like there's free Soundgarden tickets for the winner.
At least that's what entertained me on the rest of the way to work.



This?
This needs no explaination, well maybe it does.
I've never seen this on GWADZILLA.
But I don't wonder why,
sometimes it's not nice to point.


The 50% of me that's a juvenile punk wants to make fun,
the 30% of me will try it if there's enough beer invloved before hand,
the other 20%?
It took these pictures, and kept riding,
while the 50% kept laughing.
