(been a crazy few weeks. getting back on the bike in a real way and work is keeping me too busy as usual. meant to write this weeks ago and now my coach and dozens of others have weighed in too. redundant to write this, I know. But, it was already started so, I’ll finish.) [...]

“Look. Yo!” (first line in one of my favorite Gorillaz songs) – - So, I am really struggling here. I need to write an “introduction” to Molly Cameron for sponsorship proposals and press releases. I loathe writing about my self. It is sooo hard. (I can already see the comments pouring in “and… you write [...]
And, I can’t come to terms with how much I like this video. So generic. So “done before”. Yet still I linger. – - The dude filming the video below is STOKED! And kinda gross. Shit, when I was ten and Leia was all imprisoned by Jabba the Hutt (I should add that before she [...]
