FYI...The reason the Earth has been shunned for so long is also due to a language problem. On Earth, Belgium refers to a small country. Throughout the rest of the galaxy, Belgium is the most unspeakably rude word there is.

I probably shouldn't post this, since it will lessen my chance of winning, but some guys on Road Bike Review.com are doing a charity raffle for a custom bike with a bunch of sweet parts. I'm not associated with them, but I am now lusting after this bike! http://forums.roadbikereview.com/showthread.php?t=87610

I am here. The ride in this morning was much easier than the ride home last night. Of course some ******bag in a TTC supervisors car had to make my ride by constantly passing with an inch to spare...then swerving over into the curb lane. This manoever was apparently for my benefit as I am a bad commuter for riding my bike and not packing onto the streetcar with the rest of the sardines. I did feel bad for him when I plowed along the side of his company car (completely accidental like shurely!) and carved a 4 ft long gash down to the metal. I apologised profusely as I could not help but run into him when he cut me off. The pattern left by my fixed rotating pedal looked eerily like an old spirograph. I feel terrible for him.
4 consecutive posts by me.......YAY!

I did that to a porsche that wasn't paying attention and merged into me while I was in the bike lane. The guy didn't even notice but I made some serious damage to his sidepanels. At least a few thousand bucks. Totally his fault.

Can't forget Tupac, Easy E, BIggie Smalls, or the strangely inappropriate yet monstrously popular Sir Mix-A-Lot. The popularity of I Like Big Butts amongst post millennium school children, is disturbing and hilarious all at the same time. Having school children I have been treated to a room FULL of 7-10 year olds rappin away to this classic homage to the "bubble". While not as inspiring as say, a children's choir, it is a life affirmation of it's own, that, there will be a future post-PC.

Housin' was an epiphany when I first heard it. Like it or not the 'd' 'o' double 'g' must be represented in any good hip hop collection. And straight up "The Score" is one of the best produced albums eva. "Hell on Earth" by Mobb Deep always blew me away because they were 19 year olds and so so angry and jaded. MIA because when you let brits who have a completely different ethno-cultural association to hip-hop you get amazing music. Common 'nuff said. But to me, the ultimate is Biggie Smalls whose mathematical precision and flow still mark him as the best single MC since the start of hip-hop.

Currently I'm back into electronica, lots of squarepusher, bonobo, peace orchestra, juno reactor, daft punk, RJD2 etc.

I have been having too much fun with internet 'stuff' generators today. I found a blog that lists hundreds. http://generatorblog.blogspot.com/

The Ad slogan generator is good:
Nothin' Says Lovin' Like Maimed Torso from the Oven.

Some generated advice:
IF YOU ARE A F*CK HEAD, COMPLEMENT SH*T-PILES IN DIE FLEDERMAUS-STYLE

Medical excuse generator:
What a week! First my intestinal parasites returned, and then, would you believe, my doctor said it was all in my head! I'm run down and listless and I don't know if I can ever live a normal life again. I just pray that next week I prosper on the new diet.

for those of you who thought there aren't any deals at the bike show i present to you my list of purchases: 2 pairs of ultergra bar end shifters, 1 pair of shimano 600 down tube shifters and one shimano 42t chainring. total cost $4.59. bo-ya! if you're going, check out the $1 bin at sports swap, although i think i may have cleaned it out.
