oh my god i blogged


I really hate updating a blog. it's way too much commitment for a twenty two year old. But I will bite the bullet and go through with it.
I was talking with my friend at the bar about music and he suggested I listen to The Black Keys. So far so good. I'm digging the heavy blues and classic rock influence. I grew up listening to classic rock and The Black Keys are tapping into my heritage.
Work has been...work, but occasionally i get to do something that gets me really excited. Like this repair. He got charged a creative convenience fee for removing the seat post he turned upside down and hammered in. I got to spend about 20 minutes drilling it and hammering it back out. But the good news is his vintage mountain bike is undamaged and the shop made a few extra bucks off of his handy work.
I've been mountain biking about 4-5 times a week and have been having a great time. I'm getting used to the rigid fork and its quick steering. It really is time for a lighter bike though. I'm torn between the major brands of XC 29ers or saving money for a lifetime investment into titanium.
