Yep. I can basically transfer to any city I want. Just need to pick an area.

Being by myself isn't an issue, I've been doing it for 8 years now. lol.

Closing in on a location though. Culver City is looking real prime.

No one has anything new to share?

I just did a clutch swap in my car. God damn it was a pain. Had 3 days off work and needed to get it done on jackstands. We made it though. No more slipping clutch is awesome. Shit, being able to shift is awesome.

Made some big boy moves recently.

You absolute cunt. Mad jealous. Hve fun with it man, that's fucking awesome.

Some thoughts,

I moved from NJ to Orange County CA about 8 years ago, with nothing but a backpack full of clothes and a Job Offer. It was definitely no cake walk, but I do enjoy my decision to move here as working full time at a bike shop is difficult when there is only business for 7-9 months of the year. Additionally there are many BMX and MTB brands located here so I was able to get my foot in the door in an engineering position and get out of the bike shop.

Overall if you can get a job transfer, are good by yourself for some periods of time and are willing to work hard, you will be happy with your decision. However, I do miss the seasons as we only have temperatures between 65-95 here, so its really just a long spring/summer combo. There are no trees with leaves that change colors, no rain, sandy trails but TONS of nice concrete outdoor skateparks.

Now that I have been here for almost 10 years I want to move to colorado next. Life is an adventure, why live just one place?

True that.

I fucking hate people tat say that miss the seasons though. Fuck -30 degree weather and fuck snow in general.

Flying out to LA next weekend for a few days if anyone near there wants to grab a couple drinks KS or something. I'm just going to be floating around Santa Monica for the most part but haven't booked any hotels yet.

I wonder how he feels about the tons of gay jokes that get thrown around in the bmx community.

It's not just the BMX community, it's any action sports that holds this super machismo aspect to it. Skating, Moto, snowboarding, whatever. Slap that onto the fact the main/common insult in the early 2000's was "you're gay". I feel like almost everyone is okay with gay people now, even in our sport. Most motorsports fans are still really sketchy, though.

Fuck, I logged onto my PinkBike account the other day to sell some parts and I was actually shocked at how annoying and rude I was with my comments when I was ~15 years old. Almost everything I disliked and commented on was "fucking gay". hahaha, I deleted my account because it was essentially just my name. But I remember back then, some of my friends voicemails would be "Hey, I can't get to the phone right not but you're gay!"

Things were definitely different. Not that they were better, just different.

I have a denim vest I've been sewing patches on. I also cut up a t-shirt and sewed the design on a hoodie.

The Lounge / Re: When's the last time you rode your bike?

« on: February 21, 2018, 08:38:37 PM »

Fucked up my arm in the trails a year ago. Sold my bike.

Now my main hobby is just seeing how big of a butt plug I can fit up my arse.

How do you keep from mixing up your tubes of chapstick? Or do you just use one for everything?

Non flavored for the lips, yo.

I believe it - a friend of mine hit his head and could no longer taste or smell.

I smacked my head on the ground and it fucked up my sense of smell and taste. At least it's still there, just a bit different and took a while to learn how things taste now. Wish I could blame my reatrdation on that, though.

OP, I don't really get the concept. I've always assumed picturing something in your head was just you being able to remember what something looked like in the past, rather than closing your eyes and seeing an image on your eyelids. Like if I picture my old house, I can envision the layout out and everything but it's not like an image I'm seeing. Basically, how I would walk through my house and be able to dodge walls and furniture if it were dark inside. You saying I'm brain blind too? Fuck you!

If I try to think of what shit smells like, I don't actually magically smell a shit, but I can remember what one smells like. I don't really get it I guess. I guess that's why some people can visualize things better, like for example what a room would look like painted certain colors or with certain furniture?

You go that deep in the shower?

Sometimes I wish I had more knuckles.
