Real World

So people are still checking the BikeEC blog eh? Well I suppose that I had better start posting more often before "the man" gets all sorts of ants in his pants and shuts this internet thing down.

Not much has changed. I've been really busy with work and school, and trying to balance out that while maintining some semblance of a social life. Which is rapidly disapearing as I spend most of my time in transit from the library to home to work. That said being in transit gives me a lot of time to think about lots of things. "I hate potholes, I want a sandwhich, What's going on with BikeEC?, Will I ever get my act together and write my damn paper, etc." And it is sappy but I also think about how much I enjoy doing stupid little things with friends. I.E. Riding a bike down a cursed trail on a Thursday night, stopping to drink beer out of paper bags while somone fixes a flat.

It is really cool that we develop bonds with people that enable us to enjoy little things that we dont normally get to share with others. Every day I ride my bike to class or work or to run errands, and everyday there is a couple seconds that that feels incredible. It is an awesome feeling to be around a group of people riding in a tight pack watching eachothers tires not even talking, but feeling that same connection with small things that we rarely get a chance to appreciate with others.

And I don't care if it's baking bread, or going to a resteraunt, or going for a walk. The point is that as sappy as it is it feels good to just appreciate things for what they are with people around you.

So that is just part of what has been on my mind the past couple weeks I havn't posted. Here is the non-wimpy stuff.

Im super excited for the valleycat. We need people to man checkpoints, and help out. contact ecvalleycat @ gmail.com or me if you are interested. I think we need shirt designs as well. If you want to hand out flyers e-mail me or the valleycat e-mail and I will send you a PDF. Flyering in different cities and stuff is GREATLY appreciated and warants high fives.
