My gear is here!!
I'm so excited and pleased with my purchase!!
With HTC Highroad arm and leg sleeves:
Without the sleeves:
Back:
Three back pockets!
The jersey is full front zip. I am SO HAPPY with it.
I feel like a true cyclist. I'm going to look so ridiculous leaned over my handlebars with that fucking spine running down my back.
It IS a men's jersey, so it's not like all sexy cut or whatever, but I don't care, it's so rad.
Let's see... what else... we got this piece of furniture from Brian's grandfather's house. I really need some treasures to put into it. Right now I have three vintage cameras, a vintage metronome, a small sculpture and a photo frame in it.
I'd be amiss to not mention Steve Jobs. I had a strong feeling this was coming, but not so soon. He was a brilliant man, I don't care how you feel about apple as a corporation. Aside from all that, the man was a visionary. He was also involved with Pixar and so much else. He was truly one of the greats of our time. Also,this comic on Reddit made me chuckle today.
Tonight, however, I watch The Matrix.
The Matrix always gets me all riled up. Occupy Wall Street has me all riled up. I feel like there's no better analogy for what is going on in our society today... the world that has been pulled over our eyes.
"That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it. "
Occupy Wall Street... I find inspiring.
This article possibly says it better than anything else I've read:
http://www.cnn.com/2011/10/05/opinion/rushkoff-occupy-wall-street/index.html?hpt=hp_c1
TL/DR:
"...we are witnessing America's first true Internet-era movement, which -- unlike civil rights protests, labor marches, or even the Obama campaign -- does not take its cue from a charismatic leader, express itself in bumper-sticker-length goals and understand itself as having a particular endpoint."
"Anyone who says he has no idea what these folks are protesting is not being truthful. Whether we agree with them or not, we all know what they are upset about, and we all know that there are investment bankers working on Wall Street getting richer while things for most of the rest of us are getting tougher. What upsets banking's defenders and politicians alike is the refusal of this movement to state its terms or set its goals in the traditional language of campaigns."
You know what, actually, everyone should just read the article because it's a brilliant slice of journalism.
