Where can I get one?

“BAGHGGA look whose drnk now!”

Dan got a little wild last night.
So he told me.
I’ve told him before too.
So it’s chill. 

I should be at Pro Night right now (actually 3 hours ago)… but I skipped.  Yes, I know I missed out on killer deals, socializing, beer, massages, coffee, Gary David, and anything else you could possibly bash me for.  I was planning on going until yesterday.  See, my car is in the shop and yesterday I got word that the transmission needs to be replaced.  F’ that.  I’m not spending $1500 on a 16 year old gas guzzling Jeep which is only worth $3000. 

So, basically, I didn’t go to Pro Night because I would buy stuff… probably too much stuff.  I kind of wanted some new shoes, was thinking about a possible MTB upgrade, and then there are all of the unavoidable spontaneous purchases which occur when one visits a bike shop.   I can’t afford to spend money with the thought of purchasing a new (used) car over my head.  I’ve also never even been to a Landry’s… so why the hell start now? 

I think it would be badass to go carless for awhile.  I really don’t need one all that much… except for driving back and forth from school, driving to races, and of course…going on “blunt rides.”  So I do need a car… I’m thinking a minivan.  I also found this awesome retired cop car equipped with a driver’s side flashlight, hard plastic seats in the back accompanied with child proof doors, and it also has a killer paint job.   

I am also accepting donations for the “Brad Needs a New Car Fund.”  

Oh great.  Just got a message from Rich asking for registration money for 24 Hrs of GG.  I’ll send it to you… unless you want to donate   I know you want to…   

lateral collateral ligament (LCL) injury

Lateral collateral ligament injury (injury to the ligament on the outer side of the knee outside the knee joint) occurs from a varus stress applied from the inside that forces the knee toward the outside.

 Crap.

 So here is what happened.  I was doing a little bit of THIS when THIS happened and I felt THIS.  And THIS was not good.

Now it hurts like a little bitch.  But I do have awesome shades… so that will make up for it. 

just picked up some killer shades

’nuff said.

a poem for thursday

Up at 6:32

To practice a speech

Which I nailed

At 9:30.

Class till 2:00

Then a meeting

Followed by

A chocolate chip Cliff Bar

Which tasted yummy.

I then spun in a class

Filled with ladies

Who wanted to loose

A few pounds.

The spin teacher

Sucked.

I bet she has never

Ridden a real bike

Which has two wheels.

I made my pain face

I dripped some sweat

I wiped it up

And then I left.

I got a big sandwhich

Filled with deliciousness

Which I ate.

I cleaned my room

Which was messy

But now is clean.

My friend likes this girl

Then found out she is jewish

So now he hates her

He is Buddhist (not really).

A poem for thurday.

i kicked a dog in the face today

I didn’t want to… it was self defence. 
I ride lots of back-roads in RI.  This is mainly because while biking on the main roads, RI drivers play the game “Lets see how close I can come to to driving Brad off the road!”  That’s not a fun game for me… especially when there is ice on the sides of the road.  So I stick to the back-roads where I will see maybe a dozen cars over a 2 hour ride. 
So I’m doing a little bit of climbing and taking my time…I’m not a fan of being out of breath unless I have to.  And then all of a sudden my HR spiked as a rabid big ass dog bolts out of some MF’ers yard and and begins attacking me with its ferocious teeth and razor sharp talons.  So I start sprinting while in my 39×23.  I’m going nowhere and this devil animal is right on my wheel. 
After a few more pedal strokes and some shifiting my speed gradually increased.  Too bad that it didn’t matter though because this dog  had a freaking  V8 engine in it and could have easily ran 47 MPH with only one limb.  I was doomed. 
So I un-clip my right foot and the rest is history.  I won.  It was either I won or the fire breathing psycho dog killed me. 

“u” is for ugh

At 11 O’clock I started losing my vision.
I’ve been sleeping since 12.
Gotta love migraine headaches…
Nothing too much has happened since I made my little roller/rubik’s cube video. I’ve been riding. Got in 4 hours yesterday and my legs can feel it today. Yada yada yada blah blah blah. I really don’t feel like writing right now. Bye. Back to bed for me.

sorry about the last part… I really thought that I was going to die.

bad day to wear birkenstocks

It’s just a little cold out.  Cold enough to make me hit the weight room followed by a roller session.  Effffff -7 degree wind chills, 34 mph gusts, and ninjas.  Ninjas would never be fazed by this weather.  In fact, ninjas would thrive.  OHHHH I hate those ninjas!
