"Today was a good day..."

Tuesday had the makings of being a repeat of Monday, a late start, an unorganized departure, and an angry dispatcher. Today was my first full day with the new digi cam, so i sure as heck didnt want to document bullshit and aggrevation. My morning was a write off, my first 2 calls got botched, and with disaster looming, i prepared for a shit show. Until...

Briggs showed up and hilarity ensued.

The video i wanted to post didnt work
ill try again later

Well deserved...

Morning turned to after/noon and the day was running smoothly, tons of photo ops!


hayward!

Monday: Some call it home, others' hell, but we all call it Toronto

Monday
wow, what a horrid day, rather than give you the gory details ill spare you, as well as myself, and not have you/me try to imagine what took place. Ill keep it short and sweet, well as sweet as getting tossed off you bike can get.

-I woke up late and got yelled at by my dispatch
-I forgot to give Nigel his chain ring he paid for last week
-I hit a pot hole, and slowly proceeded to be thrown from my bike, much to the amusement of tourists/905ers, and shitty torontonians crossing at Queen and University



-I went to the wrong 1122 Dundas, I went west when it was supposed to be east
-I got crapped on by a bird, and didnt realize it until after work
-oh and wheni fell due to that pothole, both the bike and my lock hit me in the head

so yeah not the best of times thats for sure.

anyways i did get a new digi cam, went for roti with my cuz, and went to Honest Eds
things are looking up.

The end begins

I leave For Japan in just about a week, sleepless nights, second thoughts, anxiety, and the dread of hidden costs come hand in hand with the preparation for my departure. so this is what i still need to do before August 5th(in no particular order):

1 pack
2 buy new shoes
3 get my frame
4 sell my Level wheel and or my Front mavic Ksyrium
5 get a camera
6 spend time with friends
7 flatland
8 decide what bag im bringing
9 box bike/s
10 clean house

well, you get the idea
the list goes on
anyways
positive thinking, organization, a frame, and a good bike box, all things that i currently don't have, will hopefully come swiftly...

In the mean time watch this, it always helps me relax/ get distracted.




Oldie but a goodie

Progress

Ok this is fanatastic, who knew there would be an icon on the "new post" dashboard that actually posts the pictures for you!
Now that the visual hurdle has been cleared, the sky's the limit.


I DID IT!!!!













There is much work to be done...

Ch-Ch-Changes

Alot in my life has changed, location, occupation, hobbies, addictions, etc.
first off, i moved, said good bye to Flavour-dale (parkdake), and hello to the Annex. Im back onthe road pushing envelopes for Century courier. I am completely obsessed with flatland bmx, and pretty much dedicate all free time to practice, though due to shitty weather i havent been riding as much as i used to. Anyways above all other things Im moving to japan for a couple of months. i leave on august 5th, i figure id start the blog up to record the trip and what other things are goin on. yeah
ok i still need to learn about posting pics but ill figure it out.
