The Thoughts I Had During My Ride To Work

This guy is trying too hard. I look way less cool. Plus, I don't ride a girl's bike.

I’m without phone for a few days. My usb port on the phone died and then the phone followed suit.  I have another phone coming but won’t be here until Wednesday.  I’m off the grid!  (if the grid just meant cellular) – so if you want to Skype, get dressed up in your Sunday best, a tight sweater if you’re a woman, and find me!

Criticism – Let’s Get Fixed

Let's Get Fixed

Last Sunday a bunch of us committed to changing something in our lives that needed to shift.

Time to check in AND set a new goal.

So…

Okay, I can’t not laugh with that logo. I’d like someone to make it prettier, but… No, it’s perfect the way it is. It needs to be fixed – so it can never be. I just went meta, mofo! READ MORE

I Ate True Chicago Fried Chicken

I don't mind placing an order through bulletproof glass, but when I blew her a kiss, I'm afraid it didn't make it through the polycarbonate. Did she feel it?

I remember a handful of times going to fried chicken restaurants as a child. Over the years I had it at birthday parties and other friends’ houses. The thing is – I don’t remember liking it all that much. The drumsticks are great, but every other part of the fried chicken experience is a five to me. READ MORE

I Sometimes Order Domino’s – A Confession

I would eat this dog just for dressing like a lobster.

The title is pretty clear, yes?

Yesterday I didn’t really eat much other than yogurt, cereal, and protein drink. That’s not enough calories to get you healthfully through two ten mile bike rides to and from work. Since I often forget to eat during the day, I come home exhausted, sweaty, and famished. READ MORE

Riding in Rain

Wearing a rain jacket. What a sissy!

I woke up this morning and checked the weather. It has been rainy the past few days in Chicago, and since I bike to work I wanted to make sure that it wasn’t going to rain. Bad weather this summer has been rare and I’ve hardly had to pay attention. READ MORE

I Think Everyone Was Depressed Today

asdfasdfadf

Yes, I’m talking about you.

We all had a sad day today.  At least the few people I talked to.  And since four people is a relational sample to the rest of the earth’s population, this is apt.  We were sad.

Let us collectively stick out our lower lip and make a solid frowny-face.  That is actually fun so don’t do it too much as it takes the darkness out of depression.  Stay in the shadows for a little big longer, please.  I need you at your worst so I don’t feel alone. READ MORE
