I hate chem. Hardest class I've taken yet, probably because I slacked in HS and never took chem. At least today I don't have a prelab due or a lab to do during class.
I'm like that for hours. Last time, I was revved up for like three hours because some asshats passed me multiple times and were throwing change at me.

almost lost my life. Was on my usual commute to work thru DTLA and almost got smashed by this f**king immigrant who blew thru a red light. Luckily; I was caught up thinking "Look at all that gunk on my spoke nipples. Time to clean my wheels.". If I would have started crossing any sooner on my GREEN I would have been a hood ornamante. Instead just my front wheel and the driver side of his van "touched". Now; after work, I have to drop my bike off to get the wheel, headset, fork, etc. checked out. Already know for sure the headset is f**ked. Gonna get everything checked out \ fixed on the immigrants' DIME.

damn. I usually feel safer riding in DTLA because the traffic slows everything down. I'm used to riding down Venice or Pico with people speeding 40+ all the time

Seriously. It sucks that happened but unless you're full-blooded Native American, you come from "****ing immigrants" too.

Today I put in a 4 hour session at the pumptrack and finally forced myself to put the surly cog on the 930, got all of the life from my last DA cog I could.

tonight was my second foray into cold riding.......well, 46F is cold for me. first 10min i was like "i'm going to die of hypothermia", after that it was awesome. especially at 9:45pm when the streets are almost empty here. proper gear is so nice.

AW YEAH. Come out and we can hang out, ride the mosey with the Mom Ridazz. Meeting someone new will actually give me motivation to head out even though I'm going to have a long day

Today I went the the gym to lift when I really didn't want to.
I was actually asleep after work and tricked myself into waking up to go. I told myself I could get an espresso on the way! I lied. I didn't have time to get one. Only enough time to get to the gym and do my routine. I didn't notice that I lied to myself until just now. But, I'm happy because I could have totally slept through the gym session and then felt guilty...which feels worse than not getting the espresso I promised myself.
TL;DR: Mind Games.

My Raleigh is dead
Avner's frame, JDG's frame, and my frame all dead.
WTF I don't even know how long I have been riding it like this!
I was planning on doing a lot with this bike, especially since I'm about to get a job. Now I know what I have to save up for
