In case you didn’t catch this a few days ago this is the Muxtape I made. It’s my new time killer at work to think up songs I’d like to put together in a theme. It’ll be a fresh new mix of songs every week. You know you want to make one!
Better than what was expected.
I completed my taxes, and I am all ready to mail them off on the 15th. Less than I expected on the Federal. Slightly more than I estimated for the State. But overall under what I thought the total would be. Here’s the breakdown; Total taxes due $3,752.46 State Taxes $1,084 Federal Taxes $2,668.46
Boom. Crash!
This is not my week to be riding a moped apparently. This morning on my way to work I totally ate asphalt. Face first too. Full face helmets ftw! Watching the ground come at your face is a very strange feeling. My injuries are next to nothing. My chin is a bit sore where impact was, my right knee got a small chunk of flesh torn from it and my left thumb is sprained. All injuries I...

I woke up sore and stiff in both shoulders, in muscles I never knew existed. I couldn’t figure out why I was so sore and then I remembered the stupid thing I did on Monday night! All I can say is that I was pretty tired. I almost didn’t go out for our weekly Moped Monday ride, but I did. In hindsight I realize I wasn’t being very smart or being very alert. I was just...
In memory of Dark Sparkle.
You made Wednesday nights fun way back when. I started using Muxtape. It’s a digital mixtape you can make and share. This week is dedicated to you Dark Sparkle! check it out here.
OK, if you think that by threatening me, you can get me to be your slave,...

In The Summer...
When I was a child, my cohorts and I would spend the twilight hours of the evening catching bee’s, small pretty purple moths, and blue dragonfly’s. We would have summersault races down the length of our front lawns, play Red Rover, skate up and down the sidewalks and sit around making a mess eating pomegranates. Kids don’t do this anymore.
the stars we could reach weren't just starfish on...
Someone must love me an aweful lot! Yesterday I completed my annual review with my boss and I was given a 10% raise! Which I desperately needed and wanted.
Shoot!
Last Saturday I got Val’s vespa up and running. It hadn’t been idling properly for over a year and wouldn’t start for us at all just days ago. A little trouble shooting, a new sparkplug and timing adjustments made to the idle screw and we’ve got ourselves a damn fine vintage vespa scooter. It was fun to ride, even for the short amount of time I was on it. I’m going...
no excuse!
Oh man, I almost forgot about my tumblr account! How could I forget you? I have a good excuse. No, really. Just hear me out. Excuses in no particular order! February 15-18th was the LA moped rally: Flock Ya! There was lots of packing and stressing out to do before I boarded the bus we Creatures chartered and headed down to LA. LA exhuasted me. All I did was work and sleep from the 19-21st...
