Sunday, February 12, 2006. Matt and I woke up and donned our cold-weather bicycling gear, preparing for some cold and wet weather. We had multiple warm layers, rain gear and head-lamps in case it got dark during or after the ride. I even got Godzilla (circa 1995) strapped to one of my “CityBike Buckets” to…

I Can’t Do That Anymore
Ever reach a point in your life when something you’ve been doing for some years, months, weeks or days, can no longer be done? Back in 1994, I was working at a rental hall for over two years as a kitchen staff slash handyman. It was sometimes hard work with awkward hours on the weekends,…

Google Search: finding yourself
Google Search: finding yourself Finding Myself, Who Am I, What Do I Want? Not Finding Nemo, but finding myself. I seem to question myself and this nature of being on a regular basis as of late. I don’t know if it’s my ambition, my state of affairs, selling most of my worldly possession or social…
You Don’t Understand, I want to learn EVERYTHING
Everything.com Inquiring minds have this problem of always being inquisitive. Seriously! I struggle to keep myself from going even MORE into debt every time I go to the bookstore to find a specific book. If you let me, I’d walk out with carts of books with every little subject I have even the smallest interest….
