A few things

I have a bunch of stuff for sale. I figured I would put it all on here before I try craigslist so that my friends have first dibs.

List of stuff for sale:

TV with remote - the one in my living room $30

Dresser - 3 drawers, solidly made of wood, been mine since I was 4 $50

desk - small desk with 2 shelves on the side $10

XBOX 360 - comes with two controllers and a whole slew of games $300

This one I will sell individual games, if you are interested in them

I will have bike stuff for sale in a week or so. I've got a few campy chain rings, some nice stems, and a few other vintage components.

If you want any of this stuff, hit me up. You know how to find me.

And, enjoy the video.

So I decided I am going to sell my car. A few factors came into play with this decision.

1) I am no longer teaching at Southeastern in Hammond. After May 11th, I will not be needing to drive there anymore.

2) I am broke.

3) The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has really pissed me off. If I can lesson my dependence on oil to tires and other necessary cycling related products, than I feel like I am shoving it to BP and their new CEO (who killed their green/renewable energy department)

4) I like bikes.

That being said, I have changed my polo bike into a commuter. This means no more polo for me until I have enough cash to build up a polo bike again. Which may happen sooner than you think. Depends on summer cash flow.

Can't wait to get rid of this car, though.

Ride bikes, play tuba.

Update

Let's play polo this weekend, Baton Rouge. I'll send out a facebook since that's the only way you communicate. ;-)

Don't steal bikes, bro
