My guess is that you weren't in the most teriffic of moods when you read my post, and launched into ad hominim attacks as a way to compensate for the things that happened during your day. We all have done it, and I understand. I also know that most of us ride fixed as a way to reduce maintainence, broken spokes, chain gouges, or deraileus out of wack. I just explained it in a slightly different way.
I also used to teach in a school right across from the housing projects( granted, probably not as rough as NYC) that was filled with many underprivleged children, so I might be throwing a proverbial wrench in your cog ( or a frame pump in your spokes).
I wish you the best. I hope tomorrow will be better than today for you.
I'm sure you're a "nice guy". Whatever the fuk that means. A lot of people are. I was just displaying to you how crude your seemingly simple story appears to, say....someone like me. Yes I read into things...
and 's pretty evident that you thought you were talkin' to a bunch of your white boy peeps (which for the most part, you were)... but the fact that you had to distinguish that it was a black guy who tried to steal your bike , and then proceed to flaunt how you chastized him by calling him a "dumb prick" while you relished in the joy of watching his pain subtly shows something about your character...which you openly seem to admit is pretty rough and reactionary
btw...my mood had nothing to do with my response...
and so what you used to teach at a school across from the projects?...and?
you're still a little prick (...and from your response, I confirm my suspicions)
oh..and...no...I wish YOU the best
