My friend Jack hooked me up with this sweet* bike the other day. This is good for many reasons -- let me list them:
1.) I love riding bikes 2.) I can help save the environment somehow by riding my bike to and from various places around town 3.) Gas jumped again (bastards!) 4.) People have said I look "majestic" when riding. I was skeptical of this labeling at first, however, the other day I went for a ride and two -- not one, but two -- different girls "wooed" at me from their cars. The first time it happened, I figured that she was just eco-conscious and applauding me for choosing a more earth-friendly mode of transit. "Yes, 'wooo'", I thought to myself, "now there's a girl who really gets it." Then, it happened again, with a different girl, in a different part of town. I began to put the pieces together.
Thus, the total amount of "woos" I've received in my life from random girls is now at 5.
So, I'm gonna start riding my bike more often now.

Norah Jones is absolutely breathtaking. Seriously, I'm pretty sure she's beauty incarnate. Oh, and she's a pretty boss singer as well.
I'm going to watch Juno tonight. I've seen it before, and honestly, I'd like to watch Children Of Men, but my "Tuesday Movie Night" crowd is a little leery towards violence, so I'll just have to create a "Violent Movie Night".
Lord, I wish I could write like Donald Miller; that man has a talent for describing things. I'm currently reading his book entitled "Through Painted Deserts", maybe you've heard of it before. If you haven't, it's essentially the recordings of his and his friend's trip from Texas to, well I'm not sure where they'll end up yet, -- it's very Kerouacian. It's the sort of road trip you take to understand yourself and the rest of the world more clearly. Just you and a friend and the open road.
Sounds tempting. . .

let's go for bike rides together! Except I'm really slow, so you have to learn to be slowly majestic...
majestic? wow. I want to be majestic.
I've got a couple of sweet* bikes at my house, too.
