rawr

I think it definitely depends on the person. I only have one tattoo because I'm very hesitant to get something so permanent without at least a year of thought. I have already scrapped a couple of ideas because after a while I've been kind of meh about them. But the tree I'm coming up on around a year for the idea itself and 11 years on what it directly represents.

I thought about my star wars tattoo for 3 years before I got it.

seriously hoping this is the penultimate post before he becomes a skid mark

I had all my camera gear stolen from me tonight and then on my ride home I got hit by a car.

why wont this year just fucking end already?

you dumb fuck, dont you think I try to avoid stuff? I avoid shit head drivers everyday that just dont see bikes. I didnt see him making the illegal turn until he turned into me. at that point it's a bit too late.

i ride easily 20+ miles a day all over town. I know how to bike defensively. it's just the more you're out there the more chances to get hit. I spend very little time on campus where people are used to bikes so it's even worse. My 'campus' isnt even a campus so to speak. It's just random buildings in the middle of a city.

once again wondering where euphoria is

speaking of insurance I had to call my agent yesterday when I got doored by a car. I fucked up the door something good. Ripped it off one of the hinges and bent the outer panel. I have a hard face.

where the fuck is euphoria so he can post this as straws

we hand out probation like it's candy. people get probation for the mildest of offenses and all it does it give them an opportunity to go to jail.

I wasnt going to mention it to TTB because of the flak I'd catch but I'm currently on probation. That fuck-up last year with the car, where I got dragged down the street. I got a reckless driving on a bicycle charge. The 6 time felon that assaulted me with his car walked and I got 3 months probation, 40 hours community service, and a 300 dollar fine.

This punishment teaches me nothing. All it does it make me hate the system and if I'm caught drinking alcohol even once or leave the city without permission I will go to jail for a while. The description of marijuana as a gateway drug is pretty poor, but I could easily describe probation as a gateway punishment. It will only lead to regular people being caught up in the system, and petty criminals turning into hardened felons.

EDIT: I wish this kind of stuff could be brought up in the somewhat more mature area of P&P and not be used against me in rabble but meh, as if ttb doesnt have enough ammo with which to mock me.

I was riding

a guy buzzed me and yelled... I took off after him. I followed closely behind...I was next to him as we turned right and yelled "Hey!" in a friendly tone because to be honest I wasnt sure if he yelled like "Yeah bikes!" because there are a lot of cyclists around here. ...he started yelling about how I shouldnt be on the road and he grabbed my shoulder strap and jerked me...I had grabbed onto the door handle though... I popped open the door and pulled myself up while he was still driving. my feet dragging against the ground so much that both shoes and socks were pulled off. The whole time he was yelling at me to get off his car and how I was fucking crazy. Which yeah, I guess it probably looked like that from his perspective. He finally stopped the car about 100 feet from where I was originally pulled down.

fucking brilliant. Well I got a misdemeanor for reckless on a bicycle, I did nothing wrong legally [...] but

I dont really worry

what's the deathpool at for me getting killed by a car? Because I got hit by 2 today. both in similar circumstances. One, not my fault. the other is sorta my fault but in general one of those things that sucks

first one, I got pushed by a car on a one way street. She cut really hard left and I got pushed into the alley. I didnt go down but I left a nice streak down the side of her white car.

The second was just now coming back from class. I was coming towards an intersection between the parked cars on the right and the traffic on my left. as I approach the intersection the car I'm passing throws on his blinker and turns right....directly into me. I went up and over the hood and skidded across the pavement. I bet I looked funny riding home. I'm pretty cut up all over with some nasty road rash on my left arm. The guy was college aged and really nice. Totally not his fault at all so I just thanked him (sincerely) and rode off.

4 days of retarded drunken fun

I figured as much for the lsd idea


I drank a 40 tonight. I really am bike trash. oh god.


I went to a party [!!!] there were a bunch of bike kids. We were talking about bikes for a bit and then I mentioned where I lived and everyone was stunned. They were all blown 2 miles from campus. I thought I was the noob but I ride much further than everyone on a daily basis.


the one time I rode to work I was spit at a few times and had cans thrown at me. Oh, that's also the time on my way back a guy purposely tried to run me down something like 3 times. Actually slowed down so I could pass him again and he could have another go at it.


two falls, two head hits. I've already cracked my skull twice


Not being used to having a brake yet I locked it up and went flying over the handle bars. My head hit the pavement so hard my glasses flew off. I tore my favorite jeans, am bleeding from 4 different spots on my left arm, my bike was all jacked up, and when I got up the guy had driven away. I fixed the bike quickly on the side of the road and took off for class fearing I'd be late.

I got hit by a car today.

I was riding to Main Art Supply about to pass another biker. I rarely appreciate today because I was trying to pass an extremely slow cyclist. As I approach to pass I pull farther into the currently open lane. Right as I do that the car cut back into my lane clipping my left pedal. I fell down onto the top tube racking my nuts. My front wheel turned sharply to the left and I went over the handlebars smashing my knee, elbow, and head against the concrete. She stopped just 3 feet away. The second I stood up she just drove away leaving me in the road bleeding from 6 places and almost unable to walk. I threw my bike onto the sidewalk. I had to pull a piece of skin out of my front chainring when it ripped it off of my knee. It also tore 2 holes in my bag, through 2 layers of thick canvas and 1 layer of 18oz truck tarp liner, in total about 1/4 of an inch of incredibly durable materal [this message sponsored by Chrome Bags]. I hit the ground really hard. I should have been wearing a helmet. Feel free to berate me for that.
