Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I have decided...

that the best way to unwind after work is to throw on The Roots, take a hot shower, and drink a cold beer. How do you guys unwind after a long day?

I have also decided that my dyslexia struck again...

I usually just dump myself on the couch for a good ten minute...then I get up for some snack and turn on some music.

After a long ride though, cup 2% and a banana/apple is usually what I have.

Bikes: too many

shower, cold beer, adult time with my girlfriend, and fall asleep with the TV on

how any day regardless of stress level should end.

I can get down with all of that, except for two things: i hate drinking milk (love cheese and ice cream and shakes and stuff, i just hate milk. i love eggnog though. i cant explain it.) and im usually too tired for adult time. 20 mile round trip ride and 12 hours in a kitchen will do that to ya. Dr banzai, what kind of tea? im partial to darjeeling and lady grey personally, but rooibos has been good to me lately.

let the dogs out and sit on the back porch with a snack some fruit or something to drink
clean up the house some if needed
decide what to make for dinner and prep
random crap time (clean my bike, mess with gf's bike while she's at work, go for a ride, clean my car, etc)
start making dinner, gf gets off work at 8
eat, movie, dessert
study time
shower/bed time

An hour and a half ride home on the bike. Maybe more if I have the time.

With a bike ride duhhhh

A lot of times one of my friends or my sis will try and drag me out to a bar or something, though I'd rather just go for a long ride and spend the rest of the night munching and reading/watching tv/playing video games

I intensionally don't ever watch the news so I can live more relaxed. Otherwise I enjoy some form of a drink, tea being a common choice but last night was wine.

When we were visiting home this summer we were subjected to the TV news cycle with the volume turned up. My mom's addicted. And apparently hard of hearing these days.

whaaat. To me, WoW is nothing like Blizzard's other games. I much prefer the original warcraft, which is starcraft but with orcs.
sc2 is great, except for the fact that u get stuck only being able to play with ppl in ur country's region sucks. Waiting for diablo3.
