Mono!!
The past week has been kicking my tail. Between lying in bed battling disease and roaming the streets trying to figure out new and inventive ways to kill myself, I have been keeping pretty busy. May is ride your bike to work month apparently. So Thursday found me at health conference trying to promote the bicycle as a safe and healthy →
113!
Cycling at night is sublime. The world seems like a completely different place at 2 am. I prefer the back roads and the neighborhood streets, chasing my shadow from each cone of light to the next. I like to ride slowly at night, and just listen to the sounds. The darkness gives me ample chance to reflect on current events →
In Memorandum
Not that I have forgotten about StupidHurts lately or anything. But I have been battling with a massive case of writer's block, coupled with a foolishly busy schedule.

I Don’t Think This Was In The Brochure.
It has been cold the past few days here in Oklahoma. One of the running jokes around the house has been the fact when I came out, I only brought summer clothing with me. Luckily no one knows I really only own summer clothes. Earlier today while I was elbow deep in a small pink bicycle, my boss comes around the →
The Keeper Of The Flame.
I am sitting here on my knees in the wet sand. In my dirty hands there is half of a turtle shell that I have been scooping the sand away for the past few minutes. The hole is getting bigger, soon I will start piling firewood into it. The sound of sizzling meat fills my senses as I am scraping →
