Amazing!
Reading this today caused me to visit Mos' site today at work - I was surprised to see that he was putting out another record and unfortunately not surprised to hear that it sucks... Then I put on Black on Both sides and all was right with with the world. What the **** happened to this guy? Seriously! Black Star? Classic. Universal Magnetic? Classic. Black on Both Sides? Classic. The New Danger? Wackarnolds! True Magic? Wackarnolds! It's all down hill from here folks...
its true...I got a couple of other albums he did after Black on both sides...they are cool...but i mostly listen to talib kweli or commons new stuff...the last few albums by them have been cool...have you heard MURS? 9th wonder produced him recently...and get little brother...their albums are wicked as well...mostly underground cats...can pass around some current stuff on a cd if any of you want to hear some real hiphop.

3 in a row!!...
WHUT!
He had a collision with a "commuter", only ego damage I think ;) Thankfully he was wearing a lid.
Yeah as of midnight last night he was doing ok... good enough for gold sprints

Alright...Pressures on...I need a single speed bike by Tuesday.
Budget $350 or under I want it to be fg/ss (flipflop), I kind of want it to be running 700c tires...
Im leaving right away to DAL, and I need, really NEED something before I leave.
Thanks! Private sales are great, even if you tell me who to call it would help.

That is a pretty low budget, I've seen flip/flop wheelsets go for $200 on CL, a complete bike is going to be way more than that. Try Bikes on Wheels or Set Me Free, they sell used bikes, you might get lucky. I saw a converted Cannondale at Uncle Jacob's the other day and he wanted $600 for it....total ripoff but if even Uncle Jacob is getting into it, the trend must be getting big.
Maybe buy a road bike and convert it into a single speed? That is what I did with a nice old Shimano WH535 wheel that I found in a dumpster....buy and old roadie on CL and you can do it fairly cheaply/easily:

I loved Mos back in the day too and wish he didn't suck now but I have to say that amongst all of the rappers-turned-actors, he is by far the best. His turn in the Guide was pretty good and he was good in 16 Blocks as well and his new one looks to be very good and even though I cannot stand Jack Black, I think I will see this as I liked Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, who is the same guy who directs this:

Neat. Way out of my budget at the moment though!
Looks like he had a bit of trouble sizing the chain and setting up the rear brakes!

me so tired. I see a chocolate milkshake, an epsom salts filled bath, and a bunch of sweet couch time in my future.
I got an email from the news director in response to my critique of the ham-fisted news blurb about Charlie that mentioned the traffic delays as a result of the incident.
"Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
First of all, I'd like to extend my condolences for the loss of this
young man. He must have been really special, there have been an number
of his friends and family writing me to comment on how his accident was
presented.
I have been working with all our broadcasters to keep in mind that
although many people are affected when a crash happens, that when there
are injuries and death, it is essential for us to be compassionate in
our reporting.
Although it may be hard to believe as a result of your experience, Craig
Lester is a kind and considerate person. I think he lost sight for a
time of the impact this kind of accident has. I've spoken with him, and
other staffers about how to write about deaths in the future.
Again, I'm sorry about the loss of your friend. "

In a nutshell: Ok we told him to smarten up.
Well, that and hopefully reinforcing with their newsroom staff that there are actually people involved when reporting these things.

Anyone see Bikecar at the film fest? Great snowboard adventure film. I was grinning the whole hour away. The new Lucas Brunelle footie was also amazing.
Cavit8, thanks for following up on that.

I would be interested if my back allows me to ride later. it really is time to start doing some crunches or sumthin...this tire is getting out of control.
Highlight of the 24hrs this weekend....Joe Green racing a lap in nothing but a tuxedo thong and circa 1984 pink time trial helmet. One woman spit water out her nose laughing when she saw him.

I got some really great shots of him riding, btw. I'll post 'em up when I get a chance.
Also, my lower back was bothering me a bit too. I've been wondering about those "Cyclocore" dvds, but they're kind of expensive. Might just start doing some yoga again (or pilates, which I've never tried).
ps. I'm hoping to stumble upon a picture of me doing "Snakes on a plank". Kim was at the finish area with the camera so she didn't get any, but I wonder if maybe Spectrum was taking photos there. :)

Yeah...a pilates ball is definitely in my future. How old are the Cyclocore dvd's? I often have good luck combing the used/pawn shops for used ones at 1/10th the MSRP. I know Chris is interested in something like this as well...perhaps we could all go in together and burn em?
The Spectrum guy was there but it will prolly be 7-10 days before he gets em all up.

I think they're a pretty recent thing. Guess I could always look on some torrent sites too, but I don't think it would be very likely to find them.
