So things have been a bit insane here lately. Okay, a lot insane. Work, wedding prep, and framebuilding have been taking a ton out of me. That I’m even taking a few minutes to write a blog entry is horrifying to me. This post is sort of a “last update for awhile,” as this site [...]
Lately, I seem to be the fountain of fucking awesome ideas. I go through bursts with this, really. I’ll have a whole stream of ideas that need to be addressed and I find myself waking up at 3 a.m. to scribble notes in a Moleskine. So many good ideas. RocketGarage, which is actually being worked-on. [...]
Items accomplished in August: 0 Total items accomplished: 6/101 Percentage complete: 5.9% Completed in August: Nada. Zip, zilch, nothing. I’m working on all the last-minute shit re: getting married. Primary In-Progress in August: 1. Marry Kate. 28. Clean up my entire iTunes library. 71. Socialize Vinnie.
I’m so tired. Today, I am only doing 7 hours at the office, which means I get to leave at 2:30, but more on that later. I feel like I’m at the cusp of the marathon. For me that usually happened around 17-18 miles: “I’ve come so far, but I still have so much further [...]
This is Stormy. He was injured by blunt force trauma to his face, an injury that required one of his eyes to be removed. The other eye is covered in cataracts as a result of bleeding inside the eyeball. Stormy is blind, with no chance of having his sight restored. He’s our “new cat” — [...]
I should never be allowed on the Internet before my morning coffee. Ever. I said some harsh shit on a framebuilders’ mailing list that came across much more biting than I had intended, and then I ordered the wrong type of fork crown for a project. Of course, this means I’m in a shitty mood. [...]
It’s Tuesday, so most of my memories of the weekend have started to fade. Here’s the recap without delving into too much detail: Friday: Got to hang out with Dave for a bit at a focus group thing he was doing. Met @bibliogrrl and visited Psycho Suzi’s for the first time. Picked Josh up at [...]
Turn off the lights at the comedy club and put up the “for sale” signs. Humanity has achieved the end-all be-all of humor. We no longer need to spend countless man-hours writing new jokes. We have reached the pinnacle and there is nothing funny left to discover. I will never, ever laugh this hard again. [...]
So yeah, it’s promising to be another long/busy night. I have to clean and prep for the bachelor party weekend. I want to make some tweaks to Bike612, but that’ll probably get back-burnered. I also want to go for a ride tonight. Fuck “want” — I am going for a ride tonight.
Seriously, my life is pretty dang good right now. I have a wonderful fianceé that I’m wildly in love with, and in 24 days, we’re tying the knot. I’m very excited about this. I’m excited about the new family I’m going to be a part of, excited that Kate will be part of my family, [...]
