So in the event that I self destruct I bestow my cat, The Great Commander Dorokovsky, all my Earthly pleasures. Included in that is a gnarly bicycle stable that will suite him not so well considering he lack the opposable digits to to properly give bad drivers the finger .
Regardless, I have had some life events in the last couple of weeks that have all but turned this firestorm of a beings' life into a all out tail spin. A tail spin that in my head will hopefully play out like that ridiculous scene in True Lies where Arnold battles a jet fighter and wins. Democracy always wins motherfucker. So be the current situation as it is, I have been forced to see the humor in all this. The humor that is everyday life. The humor that gets us by when all else fails us in life, when all that is promised, proven, and right; turns out wrong. The only thing any of us can do is just make light of it and find a better way than the people before us.
There is a better way to do things, I am seeing it first hand. All it takes is a little perspective and a lot of patience. (Insert Axle Rose snake slither dance) Oh, yeah it also takes about a gallon of piss and vinegar to see something like this through. Luckily A.P. Domeier is having a two-for-ones on piss and vinegar this month so gets yours while it's luke warm. Don't count me out, look to my coming on the first light of the fifth day, at dawn look to the east.
On a completely different note, I've ordered parts for my first wheel build, my new career interest. Building wheels, that is. The Karate MOnkey needs a front wheel like Throwdown needs a more people picking shit up off the floor, and well hell, I'm going to build it. Hope Pro II hubs-red ano, laced with DT Swiss double butted spokes, DT Swiss black brass nipples, WTB Lazer disc trail 29'r rims. Gonna go get learned in the art that is wheel building.
Here are my three rad things for this post:
I've learned recently from a friend at work that I am a black shirt hardcore type of dude:
