Some day I’ll learn that drinking coffee when you’re tired, but you expect to go to sleep soon, is a bad idea. It always results in me passing out, then waking up fifteen to sixty minutes later wide awake. Yeah, I know that’s a trick and all, but I wanted to sleep more.<\/p>\n
I just realized I’m squeezing in: a really busy week of work, a half day online conference, a day off to be spent working at Habitat again, probably two bike rides including a night of karaoke at Squid, and one dinner with a friend in exchange for bike mechanic-ry. So Far. Is it Monday yet?<\/p>\n
This past week feels epic in the “how did it all fit?” department. Maybe its because I’m back in old drinkey habits. Sort of. That’s just my excuse for Saturday morning’s post. Friday brought getting hit by a car, and two crashes on ice. No bike damage, but I’ve got scrapes and bruises up both sides and a smashed pager to show for it. The bianchi volpe xtracycle definitely has too much frame flex for icy conditions.<\/p>\n
Saturday brought a .83 calendar photo shoot<\/a> and with it the most provocative photo of me<\/a> on the internet to date. Good times.You can currently preorder<\/a> a Men of Point83 calendar. There’s a few camera phone photos and whatnot floating around the internet<\/a>, mostly on facebook. I expect we won’t see the bulk of what was taken until after the calendar ships so people will buy it.<\/p>\n I had a really good conversation with A later Saturday night and feel relieved<\/a> and comfortable with the result. She asked me where I learned to communicate, which was an interesting question that has stuck with me. I can’t help but think about M’s inability to communicate with me and running away. I wonder how many [more] years it will be until that doesn’t bug me any longer. Until that really feels like water under the bridge, instead of only feeling like it should be. Ever?<\/p>\n Today, aka Sunday, was about 50 miles of chilly biking with Bike Sabbath from Fremont out to Vashon and back.<\/p>\n This past week? Shit. I forget? A bike ride or two, hanging out with A. Oh, we’re looking for a roommate for January, as Chris is moving out.<\/p>\n Saturday questions<\/a>… I made a comment on fb recently that riding bikes is like urban hiking. I like being outdoors and being active. Riding bikes lets you see parts of the city cheaply, and actively, which makes it easy. They interesting, beautiful, simple, inexpensive beasts. I think my problem with 3am is just that it doesn’t feel like a productive time, because its right after last call so I’m often drunk, or just too tired to get anything real done. Girls, well, that I know. I want to connect<\/a>. I think I’m just whining through the rest of that, playing the victim and pretending that I have it harder than I do. Fucking Lame.<\/p>\n Boys who don’t shampoo their hair was one of many topics of conversation today. I was told my hair looks something like “a mangy dog… a cute mangy dog.” I’m pretty sure they were trying to be nice.<\/p>\n I guess what’s important is that everything feels good right now, except that I don’t have enough time to go around. There are definitely worse problems to have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some day I’ll learn that drinking coffee when you’re tired, but you expect to go to sleep soon, is a bad idea.
