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)

the arc is: bakery->fat->ride bike->not fat->even more happy (still growing old)

Cool! I always have my pocket holster in my pocket during class, but it just kind of happens. I wish I had a waist holster(and class today) so I could participate.

It's your motivation for "pulling girls". Taking college for granted. Intentions mean a lot. And saying that people don't go back to freewheels after fixed (slightly racist comment? hardly). Pretty much the whole thing. I'm being an ******* about it, but you're revealing your flippant college kid nature. You'll probably grow out of it eventually.

I'm curious but how the hell do you make those designs in coffee, etc, etc? I've always thought they were cool as hell.

And my motivation for pulling girls? I have no motivation besides the fact that I like girls. If you're implying that Im trying to "pull" girls because I want to **** them then you're wrong and right, but don't make the mistake in thinking that I'm forcing people into doing **** they don't want. Theres a difference between going out and getting a girls number then just going and smashing her brains out. I go out and talk to random girls and if I think they're semi cute and not annoying as ****, I ask for their number to get coffee or dinner. I don't go out with the plan that I'm going to find a girl to ****. If however they invite me over to their place and they initiate **** and the girl is the one pushing the issue then I'm not going to back down and say hey this isn't right. I don't force girls into doing **** with me. In fact I rarely ever ask to go their place ( I don't think I have yet) they're the ones that do it. So before you go about being an ******* about **** stop and consider that not everyone has bad intentions. And don't act as if you don't want to go up to girls and ask them for coffee if they're kind of cute.

Secondly don't ****ing criticize my school decisions. I pay for my own education. Every penny of it. But when I'm paying for something, I expect an equal value return. So when I show up to a class that is supposedly supposed to prepare me for my major, thus the prerequisite status, I expect it to do just that, when instead I'm welcomed by a professor who just rambles about pointless things off topic every single lecture, don't expect me to waste my time. I don't need to sit there and waste my time if the professor isn't teaching. I also don't need the professor to regurgitate the whole book to me. Also I don't need to go to a class that I fully understand, for example my calculus series right now is a complete repetition of my AP Calculus class in high school. Should I waste my time going to that class if I understand everything? Or am I allowed to skip and go do something else such as the gym, or read on the grass field on campus, or talk to people? Apparently that's not the right thing to do. The UC system sucks balls. Berkeley is supposed to be the best public institution but it's a piece of ****. And so what I skipped a day to enjoy the sun after 2 weeks of rain and go on campus and talk to people. Give me a break.

Flippant college nature? I don't think so. I'm more mature than any other freshman you'll meet. I'm more serious about school than everyone else. I'm sorry if I have a strong grasp of what I want to do and that I handle my business and not lounge around like other ****s that go here. There'd be no way for me to prove that I'm not some douchbag kid at this point, considering the tone of my post now. If I was an ignorant kid, I don't think I would have gotten the internship I had after my senior year in high school. I worked for $18 and did investment modeling, research, budget proposals, etc etc. And not everything is study study study. I don't need to be some nerd that just reads all day because society dictates that you should get the best grades and get a job and work till you're ****ing 65. I have no intentions of ever working a 9 to 5 job. (I'm expecting a **** ton of negativity to this last statement about how I don't understand anything blah blah blah, save it.) All the people in my hall are anti-social and it drives me crazy. It's not my fault that I'm good at planning out my schedule, get my **** done then have plenty of time to go around have fun. College is what you make of it, and I have 4 years to have a good time. I'm not going to spend it inside on facebook all the time or just studying. **** that. I see what these students turn into.

And don't get butt hurt because I made a comment as to saying people don't switch. I really do feel bad that you took it so personally and had a fit. I meant it as joke. It's unfortunate that there's no real way for me to write jokes or statements with sarcasm.

Anyway. Make what you want of this. This is all I'll say. Seems like people are just here to call people out on ****. Mind your own business. I probably should have taken the higher route and just ignored this complete but my hard headness got the best of me. If anything that's the only thing you'll find flippant about me.

PS: Today I skipped another class <insert sarcastic tone there
