I am absolutely DONE with this shit.

FUCK THIS...

Oh, and while we're at it...
FUCK THIS, TOO

I try not to whine too much, and I think I do a pretty decent job of bucking up (although this blog is just my bitching and complaining), but I am really fucking sick of this bullshit weather. If I wanted a snowstorm every weekend+, I'd have moved to fucking Maine.
Hey, anyone who gives a shit, wherever you are- go to your local bike shop when the weather is shitty and buy something, anything. A fucking tube or a godamn powerbar, anything. Thanks.

The World Is Not Your Ashtray

HEY! ASSHOLE! THE WORLD IS NOT YOUR FUCKING ASHTRAY!!
What's the problem? Doesn't your car have one? Couldn't find an empty Diet Coke can to put them in? Ignorant? Or do you simply NOT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE YOU AND YOUR DISGUSTING HABIT ARE MORE IMPORTANT?!!!


I spent about 5 minutes picking up a pile of cigarette butts in front of the store this morning. It doesn't look good if you're trying to cater to the athletic set when there are cigarette butts piled up in the doorway of your store. I did a little bit of research and found that:

  • More than 4.5 trillion cigarette butts are littered every year
  • Cigarette butts are not biodegradable- plastic filters and synthetic fibers in filters can linger in the environment for many, many years
  • Cigarette butts, due to their size, typically end up getting washed into gutters, sewers, and eventually back into the water system where chemicals leach out, harming aquatic flora & fauna. Think there aren't enough chemicals in a single little cigarette butt? Try to imagine only 4.5 thousand of them in your local swimming hole! Think of just 10 years worth swirling around your local beach!
Some more facts, from an organization that started out cleaning up Australia, and has now gone global, here.

This is just one part of their solution, and I like it:


A butt shaped pocket ashtray that you can carry around with you to put 'em in, available here.

Thanks for letting me bitch.

I never had one of those frankie goes to hollywood shirts either

Goddamn I'm a dork.
Did I just frickin quote George Michael in my last post?!
Holy crap.
If anyone is reading this locally and you want to punch me ("not the face! not the face!) go ahead. That's fine, I deserve it.
click here for a giggle...
what the fuck? g. michael hippity hop

In my defense, it was meant tongue-in-cheek. I should've put some sort of stupid smiley or emoticon thing in or something. Oh well. Just punch me.
