I finally stepped back into the gym today after an 8 month hiatus to let my foot heal.

Last three months, was heavily smoking and drinking.

god it's good. i love it. i bought apps. i beat that jetpack game...

tonight i: went to a karaoke night for my friend's birthday.
when i got there i walked into a beautiful rendition of gotye - somebody i used to know (it was so beautiful and heartfelt and the voice... i just wanted to sing backup it was so good).

i was there with bike friends. one of our crew always sings mariah carey at karaoke, but he's touring in se asia now. we all miss him, so i sang 'dreamlover.'

great night of bike riding in the snow and skateparks ensues.

I come home to the shocking realization: i lost my ipod.
my week old ipod. can it be? is it gone?

i looked everywhere. depression sank in. did it fall out on the ride?

i called the bar just in case it showed up, just so they'd have my number if by some fate, i had left it in benevolent hands.

well, i think someone put their headphones in it because i didn't have any headphones... but the photos don't lie, it's my ipod! I can't believe it.

tomorrow i: see if it's that bartender with the impeccable taste in music and singing voice that found my love, and no matter what i will have to make up this mis/fortune with gifts and reward and so much love. can't believe it. can't wait to go back there.

This story completely skimmed over the fact that someone found it, lol No more 4 AM posts for you.

Today I ordered an insane amount of new stuff for the shop and am giddy with anticipation.

anything particularly cool?

shellaced all over the place again

Rode at the track all alone, not very fun.

Today was hectic, did manage a good 30 mile road ride though...

aside from that, today I replaced my fg's handle bar with the RB021 I traded for with Avner a while back. I forgot I even had the bar and now I have a frame it won't look stupid on. I can't find the cable and housing I had saved with my cross lever so I'm brakeless for now.

Today I walked around outside in a tshirt. **** did that feel good. I hate our bipolar weather.

Winter, what's that? It almost seems like once fall was over, it went straight to spring....

I don't know man. It was 30 and snowy yesterday. However, it's currently 60 and clear.

Yeah, this winter sucks... I heard it was gonna get down into the 50's tonight here... rough stuff.

50s are cold, but the 40s are too cold.

lol you're right. after i called maybe 30 minutes passed and then i got a call back. went in today and sure enough it's my ipod with someone else's headphones! i gave the headphones back and then got a sandwich which i tipped 100% instead of my usual 20% on.
