My Interests

Anything involving motorcycles; Curling; Engineering design; Most forms of racing involving internal combustion engines; Great food; Cooking.

I'd like to meet:

People who don't suck, which means if I don't actually know you and you randomly send me a friend request without at least sending me a message explaining why you think we should be myspace friends, I don't want to meet you, virtually or otherwise, because seriously, that's just creepy. That was also a ridiculous run-on sentence.

Music:

Radiohead. There are others, but as far as the whole myspace scene goes they seem to be the only ones that matter.

Movies:

Parking lot schenanigans on the Honda.

Non-parking lot schenanigans on the Ducati.

Books:

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

Heroes:

Valentino Rossi

I don't get why people don't get it.

For those of you who gave me crap about it...

... I've finally posted some motorcycle pics.  They were all scanned from ACTUAL photos taken with ACTUAL film (remember that?), so the quality isn't the greatest, particularly the action shots. ...

This may have been the craziest shit I've ever seen.

I have these pretty horrific images burned into my mind right now.  The movie I just went and saw distracted me for awhile, but now that it's over I'm seriously not sure I'll be able to get to sl...

Rambling and Venting

So I've been meaning to put together a blog post about my super-extended memorial day weekend in Atlanta/South Carolina, but it's already gotten a bit out of hand.  I started writing it on the wa...

I AM a hot fucking lawyer.

Pardon the profanity, but I just had to say it.  For the record, a friend of mine coined that phrase a few years ago when, confronted with an attractive girl who he'd just made a pass at, and who...

Mazatlan 3, et al.

So that picture of me over there is actually from the first night out in Mazatlan.  I've gotten a few comments regarding "guys in pink shirts," most of them positive.  Unfortunately, that pa...

Mazatlan 2

So I've been slacking on my Mazatlan stories.  That's my bad and I don't have a valid excuse for it other than "I've been busy" so that's just going to have to be that. Since I haven't exactly be...

Mazatlan 1

So I just got back to Mazatlan and if I didn't at least get something in here about it I might just not like myself for awhile.  There's waaaay to much material to cover it all right now, so this...

Enduro Africa

As should be evident from my profile, and as anyone who knows me even a little bit will tell you, motorcycling has become, for better or worse, a pretty substantial part of my life.  Some of the ...
