two exciting matters


#1-

I have been dwelling in a scene-kidesque desire for a bike for a while now. But I run into a few issues. The issues being named Bikes Are Pricey and I Am The Height Of An Eight-Year-Old. So I have told people the Perfect Bike would be at a garage sale, beckoning me with its perfection and inexpensiveness. I found one back in August at a garage sale and it was only $5, but it didn't have a seat and I decided that was an important part to a bike, so I kissed it goodbye. But this weekend, my friend David and I went to a garage sale and I FOUND THE LOVE OF MY LIFE. SURE, David had to tighten the brakes a little and my sizable rear sometimes moves the seat over big bumps, but it is perfect and $20 and I love it. Step 2-- Making sure I remember how to ride a bike. . .

For your good music fix, look up a band called Lesser Birds of Paradise. The song "Take the Leaves" is on YouTube.



I'll be honest with you, I have no idea what kind of message that music video is trying to tell me, but I love the song nonetheless. Go to their myspace if you like it and listen to their kick-a rendition of "You Are My Sunshine".


fact: life is a crazy b.
