So Texas is nice. It's warm, sunny, and it makes me feel skinny. I arrived the day before TG and I've been eating and making merry non stop. It's not a healthy nor sustainable life, but it's a good way to start. My brother and his friends are obsessed with skating of late so that's sort of wierd, but skating is sweet and houston is a pretty big place so there are a lot of pretty ill skate spots. As for the playground of the future, I'm waiting for an update from my cuz as to when we tee off, but I'm sure it will be soon enough. I'm considering wrangling a night/weekend job at a bar, cause lets face it, I've got the perfect mix of cynical asshole and hypersocial tendencies which would make me a really good bartender. Damn my small hands. Until I get some friends though I ahve a lot of time to work on stuff, so once I get some income and whatnot expect some physical products from the Looking Glass Mafioso.

Dualies Trucks and Diminishing Bucks,

Well, got an email back from Tzusing, the Son in H+Son, he's always been really cool and I've emailed him a few times, but he's totally confident in his product, and claims there's no way that kid taco'd his rim "just doing a skid." Which I believe. I bet what really happened is a mix of what prolly says happened plus tricking around, that is; tricking around doing bunnyhops and shit compromised the rim a little, not enough to notice, then a poorly seated tire conspired to cause the tube to explode, which blew out the weakest part of the wheel - that being the damaged rim.

I can't believe (whether it's because that would make me really really pissed/sad I'll never tell) that skidding would cause the rim to taco like that (maybe because it really fuckin freaks me out - skid to blown out rim to intersection to truck ftw), but I'll save my judgment for when I beat the shit out of ride the hell out of my new wheels. Hopefully it won't result in a visit to the ER. Once again, the interweb had me spooked. I think people are just being harsh cause it's a new product, but we'll see. I've still got my white deep Vs to phils, basically the same wheelset except less bling bang and proven tried and true.

Paul - I'll see about that Mishka calendar... there's also a ladies of Team Pegasus calendar coming out, but I think the babes are way less bangin and way more "keirin cut" (i.e. HUGE thighs). But we'll see. Bike porn on nycfixed has featured a number of hot ass broads lately...

Fuck... apparently H+Son is getting some baaaaaad press today coutesy of John Watson, or as we all know and love him John Prolly. Posted today on the NYC fixed forums as well as SF fixed, H+Son rims officially suck. I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be alright at 165lbs... oh well. I suppose all bike parts are consumables, some long term, some short. Here's me crossing my fingers that my rim doesn't explode during a skid and send me into a truck. *SHRUGS*

So I've managed to comfortably fit my entire life into a carryon duffel, my messenger bag, and about half a surplus duffel bag. Things that don't fit so well and that'll I'll probably just have to sell or leave behind. A drafting table (80 bones) my bed (60 Bones) and my bike (220 bones) I think I'm gonna try to sell my bike for like 180, because I never quite jived with it, and I can't seem to see a reason why I want to fuck with it in absentia. Also I have a box full of photo's that i'm gonna send to myself. That pretty much means I'm mobile with minimal obligation to anyone. Why am I bothering to post this on the internet? I suppose it's because I want to stare at the glow instead of having shit ready to go when lucas gets here. His house is cold. Really cold.

Love,
Oopey
