When I was riding home from work this evening I felt a weird sensation coming from the sole of my right shoe. At first I thought my old timberland shoes were finally falling apart making my foot to slide off the petal, but as I look down to my surprise the pedal was bent. Being that I was approximately 6 miles away from home I really had no choice other than to ride the rest of the way. When I got nearly 3 blocks from my apartment the pedal finally pooped out of the crank arm rendering it useless. I tried to screw it back in the hole but the aluminum was so badly shredded it was totally imposable to fix. Walking that three blocks seemed forever as I was cursing to myself.

From what I can remember I did see a Shamano crank arm at Performance Bikes for about 100 dollars. My question is should I attempt to pull the crank arm off myself or have a mechanic do the job? Pulling and installing it looks pretty harmless and effortless if you have a crank puller. I’ll have to see the mechanic’s rates before I decide. Welp, tomorrow it looks like I’ll have to take a taxi home from work, crap!!!

Just Recently I’ve had a new carpet put in my studio apartment. After moving the bed out of the area where it once stood I’ve never put it back because in reality I need a new bed. Why put a 10 year old broken box spring and bed on a brand new carpet anyway? In the mean time I’ve been crashing on my new carpet with only a pillow and a comforter. After 2 weeks of doing this new sleeping method I never felt better! My back and legs feel stronger and I wake up more refreshed. Perhaps sleeping on the floor is a better than my old worn out bed, or sleeping on the floor is better for my body altogether.

Yep, She now has a nice rack as you can see. I decided to put it on her yesterday. I even drove to work today without my shirt. It felt like a brand new world after I drove 8 miles under the Arizona sun.

Not wearing a hot ass backpack reduces the amount of sweat on my shoulders and feels great! I must say it was well worth the 32 bucks for that little rack! Now I can ride almost naked without being weighed down. Whoopee!

Welp, the girl of my dreams at my workplace finally left. Didn’t get the full inside scoop, but she is moving 60 miles away, possible for college. Her facebook however still states she is single, but who knows? Could be a boyfriend? Anyway, at least my heart won’t melt anymore every time I walk by. My heart is free again.

– Mr. Spock would totally agree.

Me at the 500 West Hostel, Downtown San Diego.
Didn’t notice any bed bugs like they stated in the reviews.
Was a creepy place, but I loved it!

That dress she wore the other day was so breath taking. She is so petite and adorable I freeze up, sometimes becoming lost for words whenever I talk to her. Her strong attitude drives me crazy, but it scares me that I might say the wrong thing and turn her off.  My heart feels poisoned knowing the probability of me ever getting close to her is irrelevant. If it wasn’t for her my heart would be free again.

You can’t talk, I’m anxious, I’m off the walls, I’m right here just, come outside,
and see it, but pack your heart, you might need it.

I’ll find a way, I’ll confuse them, but I think I can try. I will save your life,
I will save your life. I’ll try for you.

You’re locked up, You exhaled, You did it before, I seen it. Come outside,
and breath in. Relax your arms, and let me in.

I’ll find a way, I’ll confuse them, but I think I can try. I will save your life,
I will save your life. I’ll try for you.

I know what to say to take you, Higher, higher. No one else can take you higher.
But I will try, for you.
