I suppose I should go to the show I said I would with my friend but I don't feel like driving, scared to lock my bike up at 859 O'Farrell, and the friend is a lazy ass and probably won't want to drive over here and pick my ass up.

New Year's at Pop's it is. Or maybe Gestalt.

..or maybe sleep, I have to work tomorrow.

I rode to and from my party. Rack up the first 1 AM ride of 2007.

Luckily enough, I didn't see any drunk drivers. But seriously, riders, be careful out there.

Happy new year.

2006. It was a really ****ing awesome year and a really ****ing ****ty year. I wish I could say it was someplace in the middle, but it really was on each end of the spectrum.

Word up to 2007. Hopefully its just as good as 07[doubt it], but it definatly won't be as ****ty fo sho.

Where is this bagel palace?

Stop holding out on me Josh. I know you have a killer stash of bagels hidden in the shop.

Don't make me come up there with a tub of lox!!!! (HNY)

None of my friends even rode to the party, so we didn't do an inaugural '07 ride.

yeah the only ride i did was a parking lot test ride for a customer. just finished the repair and rode out the door only to be harshly greeted by a patch of ice and a group of unkind, laughing hairdressers in the salon nextdoor.
then later last night i was at a house that had only bud light (cringe) so i brought my own 6 of boston lager. it's about 12:05 and i'm walking in the driveway savoring the last one in my hand and was completely oblivious of the pavement (and ice) beneath me. i went down HARD, and laughter ensued. my hip sure was sore, but i was *****ing over the lost beer. it's going to be a rough year.
