Hellow nurse Ratchet

I Investigated with the 10AM mtbiking club a part of the bridgewater ride, i had never been too, which they've nicknamed nurse ratchet because if you don't plow through it full speed, along side the crick, sharp rocks and mud, you will go down, or slowed, and then eventually just off the bike. She got my mojo but looking forward to riding again and extending my ride.

Happy blingin' 2006

Well another year of doing bad things worse and good things better or reverse that I think better in all but still discovering all this new intellectual ground and capacity. It happens when the universe expands and you spend some time at high-altitudes. In my new autonomic theory of life-being where all things tend to work themselves out with a little bending and spinning; there is still the human element that drives the beaters and drummers, there is still alcohol to slow things down to a livable pace, but not much I can do slow time back to a crawl, the weekends feel like a couple hours and the sleep I gather during weeks, inbetween Agency life, is moving incredibly fast. One moment I am dreaming and next I am flinging information around with my team of creatives and clients. I do think I need some new belt buckle blink but we'll see how things pan out. So I can put my catch phrase of the minute up, it's tiring enough trying get people to read my communications by osmosis, pigeon, email, fire, schedules, IMs,etc etc.

Happy Birthday jesus, gentiles and an end to the MTA strike

Well, even though i was happy to see all the folks walking, skating, and biking to their job in in nyc, i am greatful to have the sidewalks back to myself, some sort of Christmas miracle? Some of the fat folk though could probably keep walking but allas. I am sure if the fine in the 80's was a million dollars, the fine in the 21st centurt will plague the tolls to the tune of 1 Billion dollars, a dr. evol moment for us all. But allas nothing better than some Christmas humor to get us through it all. I ran into Jesus at this year's Agency Halloween party, and he said he was working on a Holiday greeting card; Funnier than Saturday Night Live and larger than a breadbasket.

when eating was fun

Being a little kid with so many neato toys and flashing lights and buttons has got to be real fantasy world, more so than I can possibly remember, add the fact that all this technology is super cheap with no real expense for developing "film" lets say, eventhough I actaully still prefer it (of course) because it does hide and blend things. HD is too real. Too close. Too much detail. The newscasters are fugly. I don't want to look that close. This is going to make people even fussier than they are now. Their little brains have got to be different.

slushy 32 degree mt bike ride

After a nite of staying up late with the fellas to rock, i was able to get myself out of bed with the assistance of lucy lu the black lab's need to take a crap. I hit chimney rock at 10AM. Did solo ride don't think my lungs are up to task yet but with a little more training I will be able to keep up with faster riders. Did a solid 1hr.

Lung fish Mt biker adventure: chimney rock NJ

Well, if you are interested in running with a great bunch of mountain bikers in NJ, a couple groups meet up religiously on Saturday mornings at 10AM @ chimney Rock in the parking off of Neumans Springs lane in Bridgewater. I finally was able to meet up with my friend Ryan P. and half way on the ride I almost passed out. Nine of us in total, if I were in better shape I probably could have hacked their whole ride, the weather was just cold enough that I couldn't get enough air in my lungs, meaning I am freakin out of shape compared to the whale lungs on these guys. I almost passed out and felt a little dizzy. They would stop at the top of every short run, but after being the last guy on about the 5th launch. I had to cut out and finish up loop on my own pace. Which honestly was down hill and included the all the jumps and windiness I enjoy on a small hilly terrain.

I am not a novice rider by any means so my rock, log chops are pretty good since I've been Mt bike riding for 16 years and biking since I can remember. These guys just do it once a week compared to the quartely rides I have been able to fit in and half this ride is windy and uphill. Some of them are so hardcore they do single speed. Freakin nuts. You know you're in trouble when they are dressed up like storm troopers with shin guards and some of them seem to have capped teeth. Anyway, if you're looking to get in shape or test your skills this ride is highly recommended. I am going to try and do it again in a couple weeks. Chimney Rock

Apprentice Technology Templar: finally got 180GB back-up

I know this is really exciting but probably one of the more boring purchases I've ever made. Just moving over files from my C: drive to this cool looking silver LACIE, hooked through the slick look NYKO Usb multi port hub, is damn boring but they are both silver and at least look spacey. I supposed the real test will be to delete files in itunes and re-direct them to LACIE and see how the ipod deals with grabing file through the usb connection. The same goes for the digital camera I suppose. I remember when my first external hardrive had 500 MBs back in the day. I more excited to go downstairs and watch National Treasure with the director comments "on" and see what sort of interesting folkore and tidbits they diclose about Templars. I am an apprentice technology templar at best when it comes to knowing the details that full time IT guys go. I can hook-up and skim the technical part and then I am out of there. Secretly I wish I knew more and had more time these days. So many things to learn and the pace is blistering.

It was just a matter of time before AL got spammed

The sanctity of my blog has been demolished and the comments have been spamed by ebay none the less. I expected it to happen earlier to be honest. Once i saw the crap spawning itself on my myspace page and friendster, blogger was the last frontier. The Combat with spam is on! oh,well.

Convenient terror alerts when Bushy admin going to hell

With Karl Rove in trouble the latest news is the best smoke screen to cover the downhill public view of the Bushy cronies.

guilty of too much work and not enough play

ok so I have found five minutes in my hectic Agency schedule and a reason to login into blogger. Seems one of the flash module we are working on had a dead link to blogger or an unavailable link. I can't tell you more than that but other than it is a rather large company looking into making large businesses have blog solutions. Even with that tiny bit of info i could be in trouble. But who the hell reads this blog anyway?

On a funnier note and for new messages from Pat O'brien who is finally throwing in the towl, check out www.yesbutnobutyes.com and get your daily embarrassed larf for things you shouldn't say and to put on you're a total degenerate list. Karma will be on your side

speaking of which, the first jury is back for the new show They Call me Earl and it is funnier than the Office. Something is missing that is totally apparant in the 40 year old virgin. looking forward to the second episode.

Broken Flowers and Bill Murray

Now, if you are looking to be rewarded like you were in Lost in translation by some titillation. You will be. If you are looking for mid America scenery you will notice that most of the landscape Bill's characters traverses looks suspiciously like Jersey or somewhere off the Sawmill Parkway or GSP as he tracks down ex girlfriends. If you are looking for some resolve other than the basic mantra to live in the now. Don't go. Stay where you are. Broken Flowers erges you to run away from your same old way of doing things. Don't be the idiot that stood up at the end asking for his money back, when nothing gets resolved in the same old Hollywood fashion. Take a moment because you are never going to find out which of his 20 years worth of ex's and plife atterns sends him on his quest.
