2 years and still annoying

heyfixie — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 06:57:51 +0000

just like that lame-ass boyfriend…i missed my anniversary.

heyfixie is 2 years old. what does that mean to you? probably nothing, but thank you for your support (or lack thereof) and for tolerating my pointless rants. i hope to keep you informed for some time to come.

in the spirit of shameless self-promotion, i offer you work and words. one to make your world better…the other to ruin your perception of it.

revival

whispered longings

when the weekend sun bids you farewell,

the poker ride calls to you.

the rattle of beer cans on your icebox shelf,

the poker ride calls to you.

a fiver in your pocket…unspent,

the poker ride calls to you.

tires unflattened by goatheads of summer long forgotten,

the poker ride…

hidden/mcduffie park, 9pm, saturday.

i went on the loops ride in santa fe last night. loops is the weekly equivalent to a one stop, two beer poker ride, without the poker (like we play so much poker).

i rode the 420 (that’s the actual time) train up with matt and luap, the 2 occupiers/invaders from santa fe. 601pm…when we got off the train i was supremely pleased with myself for bringing extra layers. 615pm…we rolled out from the plaza and headed south on the rail trail. 630ish…imperial red thirty. by 845 i was back at the railyard, gnawing on some snacks from trader joe’s.

thanks to matt, luap, brannigan, ryan and all the other loops riders. i’ll be back.

next loops ride, 2.6.12, 7pm start (winter hours are over), the plaza, santa fe.
