december

woww i havnt updated this is in quite some time. hmm, heres whats up...

christmas has just passed and so far, im going to SF soon, all i got where clothes and money. the day after christmas, me and mark went to the city and i blew most of that cash away (D'oh!). i got a Supreme crewneck, a book for mark davis, a sweater from AA, and some pants from Active.
latley, i've been tinkering with my bike and going on super late solo night rides around SCV. my uncle let me have two if his bikes. they were too tall for me so i just decided to strip one bike for parts for my bike and the other, i dont know what i'll do with, maybe i'll try to sell it on craiglist or something.
tomorow, my dad is taking me and my brother to mountain high because my brother is going on a snowboarding trip soon and blah, blah, blah. i dont know why im going, i really dont want to go. when i was at Papalino's eating pizza i decided that i should go because i want to save the relationship i have with dad. i hate to say it but the relationship between he, my brother, and I is pretty shitty. my brother decided that come next year, he's not going to be coming to dad's house on the weekend like we do now; i dont have to come to dad's house, me being 18, i can choose if i want to or not. i, personally, think my brother is being an ignorant dickhead but whatever, our relationship got shitty aswell. watevers though, i'll just try and have fun tomorow.
ok the real reason i made this post is because theres gonna be a ton of shows coming up and i wanna see what i can manage and what shows i can hit up.






the show at Che is very unlikley seeing that its in SD and i'll be in school preobablly if its not a weekend. i'll check traing schedules later; going to all of these would be fucking toomey but i dont have a car yet so...yeah.

bicycle biz so far

so i have my heart set on getting a fixie sometime before my brithday but the hardest part is finding one or a good bike for a conversion. my email is filled with conversations between me and the Sheldon Brown; the other half are me coming soo soo close to finding a good bike then finding out its a tad too big for me.

i came close to having this one, its a schwinn world sport, for $120 but it turned out to be an inch or two too tall. i asked alex and he said he'd help me fix one up once i get my hands on one. i figured that i'll just get a flip-flop hub, some chopped handle bars, and leave the front brake on (as you can tell, i have it all modeled in my head to be like the one up there, the one i almost had).
i have two people that im talking to who actually live in SCV and are selling their bikes but what im really shooting for is finding one that fits in my uncle's garage; i just remembered that he as like four or five bikes from like twenty years ago.
