odds and ends...


mount trashmore sign

this is a sign that i liked at mount trashmore in virginia beach. its a mountain made from trash. your garbage is turned into a park. nice.

i've been listening to my ipod while riding. i just have one ear bud in so i'm still able to hear the traffic; so i'm not completely tuned out. also it helps me relax while i'm riding. relax, you say? yes. before i would just yell at these people and i don't think that this was healthy for me, and others. the best music to listen too is anything heavy, and angry. when you've got a guy yelling in your ear "pure fucking armageddon", the guy that cut you off really doesn't matter anymore. also heavy and fast guitar riffs keep driving me to go faster. so in conclusion...heavy metal is good for commuting.

also, ever since i sold my ybb, i've noticed a changed in my attitude in a lot of things. the coincidence also may be the books i'm reading, but in any case, things to me really don't matter. now what i mean by this is i feel no allegiance to any one thing. to no company. no object. i felt very close to the ybb, because it was my first really expensive bike, but when i got rid of it, it just felt like a lot of things either lost their luster or life became a lot easier for i knew that giving up that bike made me realize that things just don't matter. so this is my new mantra before i drop money on any material thing...'does this matter?' if the answer is 'no' then i save my green. if it is 'yes' then i reason why, and if i am able to refute myself i save more green. i look around my house and i have stuff that i am able to do without, but it is not worth getting rid of because i would never make nearly as much green back as i picked it up for, but such is life.

also, i'm not too happy with camba right now. sorry guys...you suck. nazi scum. a few post back i wrote on how i'm going to start to build a trail on some land that i have, and i emailed them for some pointers and such. this is just a part of what i got back from them...

'To start with, 31 acres is not considered much land to build trails on. And even more importantly, it really depends on how much of that property can support sustainable trails…..meaning, is all that property flat?......or does it have a lot of varying slope? To effectively build sustainable trails that hold up to usage and can withstand our weather conditions, the land must have slope.'

hey, thanks for supporting. that's great of you. bastards.
