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 been going around this block a good 5 years, been in and out several times. Thanks for the kind words, more common to get "pull it together junkie"

It has been fun... replaced the shifter, derailleur, brake levers, and grips yesterday and tonight I fitted a 26 inch fork, Mavic front wheel, and V brakes to replace the 24 inch fork, steel wheel, and crappy side pulls.

The thing can do mad skidz now and the bigger front wheel improved the ride and handling a good deal.

LA Noire is supposed to be pretty hyped, but I still have no idea what it's about, or that it came out already, lol.

Assassin's Creed on the other hand, I never got around to playing the second one. The first one was pretty fun, lol. Stabbing people and jumping into haystacks and what not.

Haven't gotten over to the game store to pick it up, but I heard it was suppose to be great and I am a big fan of GTA/Red Dead Redemption... L.A. Noire is suppose to be the same-ish but set in 1947

As far as assassin's creed, there were some boring parts...some ridiculous (why did you just try to run up that pole?) and I would have loved arial attacks. The second is suppose to improve, as well as the third...and now the 4th one is on the horizon and it looks even better... I'll eventually get around to playing them all, but I try to limit my time in front of a tv.

Sounds like you need a doctor.

Today I was hired as a cook in the kitchen of the local country club, this is a pretty big deal for me as I needed a summer job and I used to dream of being a chef.

Don't limit yourself to just the city, try Oakland/Alameda, only a 15 minute drive.

Wow I liked Red Dead Redemption also, I only played like 15 minutes of it though haha. I didn't like GTA so much, so maybe I'll try and buy RDR first and wait till people say if LA Noire is more like RDR compared to GTA.

Downed some Pizza for lunch, handling a bunch of returns and then I'm going to go to school. Probably driving because the weather says rain. Although I may just go home and change into my "rain" jacket and head off.
