Serve this in a tulip glass

Here is a short, quick post in (sort of) bullet point format to get you through the weekend. I got my mid-term grades this week (all A’s). Kyle Orton will start opening day for the Bears. Having a grammar blog is a great idea, Kurt. Not sure if that is correct. I’m gonna try to ride 15 miles on my bike tomorrow because I need to be more active. I’m intrigued by single-speed bikes. American Minor is a guilty pleasure of mine. They play southern-fried cock-rock in the vein of Skynyrd vs. Black Crowes. Hot Hot Heat’s latest album is not even close to as good as their previous effort, but “Goodnight (2x)” is so fucking catchy. I’m gonna cut all my hair off this weekend. Peace out.

Note: If you have any suggestions for bands that should be included in my series of posts about emo please lemme know.

    Kyle Orton is The Man. Did our Bears really think Chad Hutchinson was the answer?

    I know it was only preaseason, but damn, didn’t Orton look good against Buffalo?

    We’ve got lots of singlespeedsters in our local MTB crew if you want some thoughts from parties currently doing the SS thing. Of course the first test is for you to put your current MTB in a medium gear and ride it on everything and see how you like that. Especially the climbs!!! – Good post as usual.

    Mallie – Thanks for the advice. I guess I just have to put it in one gear and ride until I drop. Maybe it’s just the part of me that wants to do something different that everyone. ???

    Chad & Pishko are big single speed mountain bike guys. About a year ago I turned my Bianchi road bike into a single speed. It’s awesome for just tooling around town, but really for climbs, you gots to have the granny gear.

    I’m glad you didn’t cut off “all” of your hair this weekend. You may ride your bike any way you’d like to, as long as your feet don’t get stuck on the pedals and you fall over like your dad.
