Yep. This is a rare public post. Those who I feel need to read the dribble that I usually post are on my friends list. This is for everyone else ( Read more... )

I just slept for 3 hours. My legs are still mighty sore. I'm not pedicabbing tonight. Let's see how I feel tomorrow.

I'll use this evening for contemplation and writing. I'm in that sort of "calm" mood.

I wonder if I'm cut out for hard physical labor. I'm just not used to it. I know I'll get used to it. I'm just not sure I can get over that "hump" to be able to get used to it.

Wow, it was tough. I mean, when those 2 ladies got in my cab last night (and they weren't anywhere near overweight; they were both very nicely-figured) and I tried to pedal ( Read more... )

You know, I have a lot to say about what I saw tonight on Sixth Street. Frankly, it was sickening, as I expected it to be. I can only imagine what the weekends are like.

I might post about my feelings tomorrow. Sufice it to say, I was quite disgusted this evening.

Got there about 9:00PM. Talked with a guy there who was running the shop for the night. I needed a headlight, so I he found an extra on another guy's bike and said I could use it for the night. Talked for a bit, hooked up a cab, and took off. Left at exactly 10:00PM ( Read more... )

OK. It's here: Wednesday evening. The first night I'll be pedicabbing in downtown Austin. I'm nervous, but adamant that this will work out well. As I said earlier, it's the first job I've ever had doing something besides IT.

I took a 90 minute nap, so that should help a bit. Tammy/austingoddess fixed me a wonderful dinner of bread, cheese, and fruit. I'll be ( Read more... )

After waking up late and biking almost 9 miles, I got to the office 5 minutes until they were about to close for the day (they only do this from 8-12, Mon-Fri). It didn't take long, though - gave them my paperwork, passed the test, had my nasty picture taken and paid them $10, all in about 20 minutes. I now have a City of Austin Chauffeur's License ( Read more... )

Well, I biked and bussed all over Austin today because I think I mis-remembered the address for the City of Austin Ground Transportation office. Well, I finally found it, after biking all over downtown, going to the courts building, the police station, city hall, and offices in One Texas Tower. I killed some time and relaxed at Bookpeople, then hit ( Read more... )

I got my document notarized yesterday. This morning, I'm going downtown to take the chauffer's test and have the bike inspected ( Read more... )

There are many people in the world who would like to have the opportunity to just think. All day, every day, doing nothing but thinking, writing, creating, developing new ideas and rehashing old ones. They don't like dealing with "the real world", since the "real world" is full of greed, hypocrisy, crime, apathy, and indifference. These people want ( Read more... )
