cmwc 2009 - japan

-wait so $759 round trip?
-wth this is an insanely good deal and i am so pissed that i won't have the opportunity to do this
-it's like a summer program...for bikes
-god truely hates me

bike is built =)

-the brusier came today!
-i was so excited
-yet karma always strikes back
-i can never only get god things happen to me
-today, i hit my head on the ledge on the staircase at my house cuz i was literally jumping for joy
-that hurt
-then, when i was putting my new session tires onto my wheel, the tube exploded
-being the idiot as i am, i bought the wrong size tubes
-and then, when i was screwing the little brake caps on the frame, the rear blew out to
-this time in my face, literally two inches away
-i went deaf for a good minute
-but it was all worth it, i was so skeptical of the frame not fitting me, but it fits way better than the medium
-i am so glad that i ordered a small
-going to give a full on review of the brusier by sunday after i give it some riding time this weekend so stay tuned
-want some pics?
-well unfortunately i don't have any built up pics because i only had my iphone and i want some nice pics of it built up
-sean, tim , or karl want to take some for me? =)



-sean showed me this on craigslist
-dennis might get it, and i kinda of like that color
-you know i like this color
-should i trade him colors
-give me opinions

-seen up on locked cog
-rode in a pair of sambas last year and really good for biking
-strong support all around and grippy bottom
-lasted for a damn good long time
-the only other shoe comparable to the sambas are vans chukkas
-which i am riding now, have been beaten to hell
-and if you have been eating lunch with me at si, you would know i ripped a stripped of rubber off both sides this week and they still hold up

jamis sputnik t-bones a brusier

-saw this up on prolly's blog
-what happened?
-at a recent bike torunament, both riders collided, the jamis t boning the brusier
-the jamis's top tube and down tube crimped
-and the steerer tube snapped
-this seems pretty normal obviously since the brusier is like a tank
-the only reason i am posting this is because
-a certain someone i know (who does dirt jumps) told me that the jamis was the strongest track frame...EVER
-he literally told me that
-he also said the brusier and the cutters were pieces of shit
-well who's to talk now?
hahahaha, i'm sorry but i found this fucking hilarious

stupid ups

-come at 10:34 when no body is home to get the package, sure why not
-so fucking pissed, i have to wait another day ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
-not much to talk about today
-I WANT MY FUCKING BIKE =(

-"wants to quit everything and just ride." from tyler johnson's blog http://bloggingmiles.tumblr.com/
-i feel you, tyler
-if i could quit all this shit in my life and just ride my bike and travel around the world, it'd be paradise
-but sadly, that is only a fantasy world

-some japanese vids

-i am really excited because my brusier is coming in tomorrow
-hopefully, someone is here to answer the door when they come...
-anyways took off the parts on my brusier today
-had good times with the proto brusier


- i had a dream last night where i got into an argument with my dad about something
-basically i was in bed and my dad yelling at me while i yell back
-i actually woke up at 6 in the morning from my dream thinking he was there and started yelling "stop bothering me i'm trying to sleep and go to hell"
-what the fuck

-ive decided that from now on, mentally i am going to block out school and pretend my day starts late
-trust me, this works
-what did i do with my day?
-spent an hour taking the spacer off my brusier fork
-and sold some mexican family a gameboy to get money
-the funny thing is i gave them the gameboy with games in a plastic sandwich bag
-can you image me standing next to their car (they didn't get out of their car) passing them a plastic bag filled with a gameboy and like 13 games while they hand me $40
-and yes i really need money so bad i sold my gameboy with games aka my childhood
-yea i am aware thats really asian, but its true
-anyway...

-you've probably alread seen this on prolly's blog
-but i wanna say, i saw this way before anyone did, i saw this up on wonka's twitter in the morning and even contemplating blogging it
-and yes that is creepy
-but it looks sick as fuck, loving the black color
-and those tires are fucking huge
-it looks like wonka switched to hold fast
-it was bound to happen

-two weeks ago tim bought a new frame
-he's going gnar
-a raw brookyln machine works with a custom gusseted fork the original owner made
