Adventure is really just poor planning.

Let’s do the time warp again!

When one of the first things you see is a six foot tall guy in a children's big bird costume, something should tell you that an interesting night is ahead. Friday night the fan club and I attended the annual showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show and costume contest at the Alabama Theater. Even after several people bailed on us, →


Unlady like?

Over heard at work: "Stop that you are acting unlady like!" In Response. "Thats not surprising considering how much these panty hose are making my dick itch" I didn't even bother turning around to see what said that. I just grabbed my drink and walked off.


Just about done, or the tale of the striped bag.

Some time last week I decided I was tired of the scraps of fabric floating around my room. So I started on the construction of yet another another messenger bag. I wanted to address several issues I ran into while constructing my last bag this time. I cut a few corners due to the size of the last bag. Since →


Halloween

I had just gotten my lucky socks on and was tossing stuff into my backpack in an effort to get ready for work, and I thought to myself, “I haven’t taken my camera anywhere in a bit.” Well, tonight I am glad I did. (And before anyone even bothers to ask, I really do have a pair of lucky socks, →


A helping hand or two.

The logic behind this decision completely escapes me. Last weekend the owner of the bar I work at was attacked by a patron on a night we were understaffed and I was unable to watch the entire bar. Earlier this week the general manager called me to tell me they couldn't afford to keep the security staff. Instead of firing →


It should be quiet tonight

Last night I ended up working security by myself. A night I specifically requested three people on staff. Between several belligerent drunks, a record number of underage drinkers in one night, and someone attacking the owner and an entertainer. I think last night had everything.


It is nice to be near the top of the food chain!

I went to the Birmingham Zoo this week and watched the animals do their thing. Most of them really just looked bored, but a few were really interesting to watch. I spent a good ten minutes watching an anaconda slowly creep up on mouse before dragging it down into the water to make a snack of it.


No matter where you go, There you are

The trees were high enough that they towered above me and I couldn't see the road. The sun played lightly through the branches and painted patterns across the road. The bird songs sounded like symphony. Every pedal stroke rocketed me ahead and my bicycle felt perfect on the road. But no matter how amazing this scene was, I had to →


Almost there.

So a bit back I decided that I wanted another fixed gear bike to replace my langster that was sold while I was in the hospital. I almost bought another one langster, but they are amazingly hard to come by in this part of the world. So after a bit of research I decided it would be best to build →
