Shortly after 2010 started, I found myself in a bar stomping on bar glasses in a drunken fit of joy. In many ways, it was childish, stupid and just plain pointless. But in a few ways, it was quite a fitting start to the rest of the year. Just as I shattered those glasses into ...

Things I have to keep in mind
4
I officially accepted my invitation today. I would have done it sooner, but I wanted to read over the required material before accepting. I couldn't do that because it was delivered to my parents house, so my mom offered to bring it up today. After reading over the Welcome Book, I've come to realize a few ...
Life in a day
YouTube asked its users to partake in a project recently, I did. Ridley Scott is producing and Kevin MacDonald is directing a film that features only footage shot on July 24th, 2010. They reached out to YouTube users to lend a hand by uploading what they did that day. Here is my video:
Read the manual last
I came home this weekend to do a little more work on the Kawasaki. It's been a learning experience since the other one went down a thousand miles from home. I can confidently say that I can tear down a KZ650 engine and put it back together. The only problem? I can't get it running ...
Adventure dog
This is the third part of the three part series about 'Road Trip: 2010'. This part of the story is a cautionary tale. I was without a motorcycle and more than a thousand miles from home. I needed a way to get back in time for work. The way I saw it, I had three options. I ...
Relaxation me
This is the second part of the three part series about 'Road Trip: 2010'. What would you do in my situation? I mean seriously think about it. I'm a thousand miles away from home with a motorcycle that won't run without a great deal of work and money. I could have easily dropped the bike off ...
Adventure me
This is the first part in a three part series about 'Road Trip: 2010'. Maybe I wasn't 'born to be wild'. I woke up early and got myself and my bike ready for the road last Thursday. I had emptied out my saddlebags of their usual bit (later to my dismay) and loaded them with food, drink ...
A change of pace kind of week
I'm not even halfway done with the week and I know it's been interesting. As you know, I'm planning on road-tripping to Massachusetts this weekend on my motorcycle. Much to my dismay, on Sunday I found that my carbs had frozen in a wide open position. This is bad unless I want to get to Massachusetts ...
Head out on the highway
WTB: Drugs in a clear plastic tube, sealed at both ends so I can place them in the gas tank of my motorcycle. They'll talk to ya and talk to ya and talk to ya about individual freedom. But they see a free individual, it's gonna scare 'em. I'm road tripping next week. I riding out to ...
Anniversary
June 9th was the three year anniversary of my longest running relationship. I fell in love with her freshman year of college. I saw her most everyday. She was always in the same spot, outside of Liz Waters, just sitting. I remember telling people that I was going to make her mine. I doubt they believed ...
