I've mostly been drawn on by cops. Honestly scarier than some kid with a saturday night special.
|
Today I panino'd. I live a boring life compared to some of you.
|
Today I feel like everything I have touched lately, despite my best intentions, has turned to ****. Can't wait for this weekend. I need to drink all the booze and have my face rocked off by a bunch of awesome bands.

Ditto. Cept I'll be rocked by different awesome bands. I'll be at Hideout's Block Party rather than Riot Fest. Although, I may actually take it mostly easy on the booze. Going through some pretty rough stuff at home and I'm finding that less drugs/drinks is actually helping me deal. Oh also, if you find yourself at the Revolution Brewery (Kedzie location) for their Oktoberfest on 9/22 I'll be volunteering there. https://revbrew.com/shop/detail/okto...t-party-ticket |

I shot a kid once. In the hand. With a bb gun. I was trying to shoot his candy that he left on top of a fence post and he reached to grab it at the last second. He lived. |
Today, I did this: http://app.strava.com/rides/21843217. Nice 47 miles. I was going to go for a full century, but a friend I haven't seen in a while wants to get lunch so I cut it short. Maybe I'll head out again after lunch.
|
the day's not over
i've done a few accidental centuries like that.. |
today i found this:

friend lost her bike today.
they took the time to get through her Krypto chain for her econo-Diamondback that was parked right outside a hospital and left her helmet. ?!? don't even make sense. put the word out with the local bike collective and my former snitch network. hopefully it'll turn up. she's a nursing student and can't afford a replacement right now. |
That sucks.
Today I went out for a ride and said "****!" out loud when I realized halfway through that I forgot to turn on Strava. Made some fit adjustments; flipped stem down and dropped it 10mm. Surprisingly it felt a lot better and I was so pumped that I busted a hella dope skid down this curvy hill. Saw some derp on the way home: http://i47.tinypic.com/p38y0.jpg Can you spot the derp? |
I walked instead of biked today. It felt strange. I also realized my pedals are cutting into my Reef flip-flops too much, so I need to find tougher sandals. Yes, I bike in sandals. Bite me.

it's not so much biking in sandals, it's the specific combo of flip flops + fixed that gets you.

Today I:
SPF sandals do exist if you care to try
|
SPD ya mean?
I forgot to slather on the SPF today, face feels burned. :( |

The other two times were when I was living in Phoenix. One happened as a female friend and I were walking home from the store with beer. Two kids - probably around 17-18 - approached us making small talk but I knew something was up. Like clockwork, one pulled a gun and told me to give him his wallet. Before he even finished his sentence, I wailed him with a 32oz bottle of High Life across the cheek. His friend ran away. The bottle was unopened and didn't break so I hit him a few more times in the head until he ran off. When we got back to my place, the bottle, my shirt and hand were covered in blood. Blunt force trauma is messy. The other time, a tweaker approached me as I was leaving a taco place at around 2am asking if I had any change. I gave him a few coins I had in my pocket and he said "No man, that won't do" and suddenly had a gun in his hand. I could tell he wasn't going to do anything so I got in my car and drove away. Guns are stupid.

Not only that, I know most people won't expect you to pull a firearm out back at them, but do you think you really have the time? I guess it's kind of do-or-die in those situations. Either shoot them or die trying?
Just open carry, brah. |
Today I put in 64 miles.
|
it's like any other skill. if you practice you can do it quickly and efficiently.
i don't carry any more. just became too much of a PITA. but, yes, you can move/draw/fire even with a gun pointed at you. simunitions training (kinda like high velocity paint balls) helps. i've been threatened at gunpoint and roughed up (dating an Asian girl in Flying Dragon territory), but never robbed. i'd give up my watch/wallet/etc., but if things go south it's Captain Caveman time. |

People tell me it's almost impossible to get a CCW over here. Tell me how it goes.

Today I was in the city doing double duty catching up with some colleagues and friends at my old workplace and playing chaperone to a gang of sqrls. Ended up having lunch out with the mass majority of my former workmates at the ferry building, with roli roti serving up a mean porchetta sandwich worthy of a last meal as usual. Took a walk with my former superior/ close friend along the embarcadero discussing our trade during which an asian dude on a Cervelo T1 zoomed by and trainwrecked the rest of our discussion to bikes. Caught back up with the sqrls and was financially exploited to an extent. Went back home to crash and currently waiting for the sqrls to gussy up for some nightlife at along polk. It feels like living in a harem.

18 here in MI. Its been an awesome few years, whenever I feel like doing it. Its sort of entertaining how many people will give you really dirty looks because they have no idea what the law really is.
Are you open carrying a shotgun/rifle? |

My dad owns everything at this point, so as long as I'm with him and open carrying, I'm really not hassled. Once I slung a rifle over my shoulder, and that was hilarious. No one knew what to do. I'll be 21 in two months anyway, so at that point I'm going to get my CCW (not too hard here).
