1. Missed awesome ride w/ VSalon crew last Saturday
2. Have to leave this amazing SF weather and go back to 95 degree humid shitbox.
3. Have to return to work on Friday with people who have no interest in bettering themselves (meaning, I've been bettering myself by learning more and advancing)
4. I can barely keep my eyes open right now "flat back drunk on a bottle of Jamison"
5. Every damn domain name in the english dictionary has been registered for .com. How the hell can I come up with a new startup name w/o a stoopid domain hack.

Snark and condescension on the rise again at the V place. Never gets old watching bike dorks try to out cool each other.

Ebola come to the USA.
Everyone is pointing fingers at this point, but no no one is pointing at the person who came here knowing he was in contact with it.
What a great guy. Thanks Mr Duncan.

Screens everywhere!!
Filling up this morning I was treated to GSTV. Gas Station TV. A TV right on the gas pump. Snippets of CNN and Bloomberg, but mostly adds, duh. Nothing new, of course, but 'eff me running backwards!!! The electronic billboards are getting more animated content and the screens are changing more frequently. A large business, community booster in a small town was showing clips of the Friday night football game on their billboard right along a four lane highway. Why not just take the logical next step now without delay... TTV... Toilet TV. A large HDTV right in the stall. Why not have touch screen interaction there. Install a tray for you lunch. STV.. Shitter TV.
I really don't need this. I really don't have adult attention deficit disorder. I saw CNN 10 minutes earlier at home. I can be alone with my thoughts for 5 minutes while I fill the fucking gas tank!!

Yes, JFK killed, 9/11 Terrorism Attack, Michael Jackson Dead. You always remember where you were when you heard about important events.
I have not experienced LTTV... Leak Taking TV.....yet.

Come to think of it, I was in a bathroom when I heard about 9/11!Yes, JFK killed, 9/11 Terrorism Attack, Michael Jackson Dead. You always remember where you were when you heard about important events.
I have not experienced LTTV... Leak Taking TV.....yet.
I think there is a link between newsworthy events and my digestive/urinary system.
Either that or I need to see a doctor.
Or a psychologist

Bike is totaled. I'm way sore. 2nd time I've had to call Eric Zimmerman in a year for a bail-out like this. But I got a cappuccino, turkey burger and an introduction to a cute French girl out of it.
Cross fingers for a decent Friday Suck It Post.
