Welcome

Hello and welcome to my blog. This will serve as an online mostly visual documentation of my experiences in Ireland. I will attempt to update it daily with new photos and some commentary indicating what those photos depict. I hope you enjoy, and watch it daily!!

New School Year

School started last week, Monday! I am quite excited to be beginning a new school year. This, my second year of the DMA program, will prove to be my most challenging and (hopefully) productive yet. I worry that I will have to shed a lot of my social activities in order to fully achieve my maximum productivity and efficiency, but that may be what needs to be done.

On an unrelated note, I still have the blue Raleigh Grand Prix for sale. I am willing to separate the frame from the wheels, so if anyone wants a set of blue fixie wheels, hit me up. $400 for frame and wheels. $225 for frame alone, $ 190 for wheels alone.

I am also selling my 1969 Raleigh Professional. There were 500 of these made in 1969. It is hand painted and in beautiful condition. It comes with Campy components an a full replacement set of all components. Asking $1500 for the lot.

If  you are interested in any of this stuff, let me know.

Update!!!

So it has been a while.

Haven't sold the car yet due to continuing pain in my knee. I hesitate to sell a car when my main mode of transportation involves increased usage of a joint that gives me trouble already... I have appointments to get it looked it.

Haven't sold the 58cm Raleigh yet either. SOMEONE BUY IT!!!

Also for sale: Solid wood dresser that I have owned since I was 4. Asking $65. 3 drawers, 3.5 feet or so tall, 4.5 feet wide maybe? nice dresser. I wish I could keep it, but I have revamped my room and all my current furniture is black.

Bike shop work rules, except it keeps me from being productive at tuba.

I want to buy a Cervelo RS though.....................................

ISIS

This shot is from The second to last ISIS show in Portland, ME last
night. I'm sending this from my place of work in Baton Rouge, LA. I
got to work at 12:30 this afternoon.

Maine!!!!

Pop quiz!!!!!!

I decided I would fly to Boston yesterday to:

1) see my best friend Mark Vann

2) drive to Portland, Maine to see Cave In and Isis ( in their second
to last show ever)

3) fly back to Baton Rouge less than 14 hours after arriving in Boston

4) all of the above

Neat idea
