no one tells me i shouldn't
it doesn't matter if i do
so i will
and fuck you too

you know what you think, you think 'what would be the best thing ever here in a song?', and if that is bongo's going awesome in the background don't fight it.
that's today.

I may have once said i'd show you the dark side. I can't do that. you can't handle it. it doesn't make sense. hate, self loathing, rage. at least 2 of those 3 are not logical. but they all _are_. but they are not words. they are how i look at you when you ask me how i am. if i love you ill look back how i honestly feel. you may not love me for it.

but we'll both live. what are you having for lunch?

grumble. ill posts pics......tofuckingmorrow.

night.

:: Shit Post

But I promised myself if I put something up here I could play games all night. Hard to say no to yourself. A dangerous realization.

The bar I frequent. What was once for a year and a half of Friday night being spent at Cafe 22 I have a new streak going. Loco Lou's. Many... 4 months worth? The name leaves a lot to be imagined and the setting less casual but a friendly atmosphere, a good guinness price, and a good group of people keep me going.

Anyway, get a burger. Trust me. Best I've found besides Boogies. (Boogies is still way better)

Dinner. Picture is blurry when big. Pepper, Broc, 4 thighs, a new wine. Hot damn. very good.

Something I think i figured out after see a picture of this meal. I almost always have only two components to my meals. And with good reason. I like to cook in whole quantities. Whole broccoli, whole peppers, etc. If I try and make three parts to a meal I will probably end up with way too much and have too many leftovers. Also prepping, cooking, and cleaning more sucks.


Sneeky mountain in Banff.This ones okay.
There it is. The view down main street. Another shot in motion taken by reflex.
And I took a few shots of my partner again to make him mad. This one turned out alright with some contrast editing.

Nothing else to say as I'm just trying to get this post up and it's Friday morning and my eggs are almost hardboiled.

Ta da! Half thing of rasp, half thing of blue, whole peach gurt, ice, the juice.
Fresh Lemon Dill Salmon w/peppers and carrots. A hotter faster cook will keep the veges more crisp and a different foil wraper may help too. Very good lemon dill salmon.


and I didn't take a picture of the Green leaf apple salad. One granny apple and some green leaf. It wasn't very interesting because it was, well, green. I did mix up a quick dijon and white honey dressing for it that also added a golden yellow sheen. It is good like smiles.

I went for two very long bike rides this weekend.

I did not take many pictures. Caught a few rafters though. It's almost traffic on the waters during nice weekends. Biked about 50+km on Saturday as hard as I could . I want a faster bike.

Of course on Sunday I then went for a moto ride along the 40 to longveiw. And I can't say I need a faster moto. Beema goes. In total, about a 300km round trip. Not even kidding saw more bikers than car...ers. And where last time it was so cold. This time the heat was relentless. Rose and fell from 25 -36 and usually stayed 30+ on average.

Good name for her? Beema? Im going to see if I can get the plate... or other options.

A usual lunch these days. Sometimes I have a pizza bun as dessert. We try and eat light and energy wise most of the week. Of course sometimes we do things like challenge a reaper.

:: Okay, Okay. Boom BooM.

After about 60 shots and an hour long electrical show, I caught these.


KraCOOWWWW!

Bzzzzt.

Exclamation point!
Almost.

Ride Ride Ride

Check out the odo. 1000k and I haven't died yet. I hit this just the other night after seeing Hellboy 2. And then I took her to the mountains to start off the long weekend.

I'm not going to say much. Just let the pictures speak for themselves.




heh, oh yeah. So very fun. This was longest single ride yet and I learned a lot. Probably the main thing is when riding across Canada's highest elevation paved highway (7239ft) it will be colder than all other roads. Don't just wear an undershirt under your coat. When I got hungry I stopped at a provincial park... locheed? or something and had a sandwich, some chili and bought a sweater. It was an expensive souvenir and a cheap lesson. Also I need to get some real ear plugs but wet napkins work well enough and make the ride fun instead of painful.

I had a ball.

Notable points: Passing with this bike is so nice. You just twist your wrist and you're past anyone. Gas-wise, my bikes fuel consumption went from 6.0l/100k to 5.7l/100k on this ride alone. I hope to get it down to 5l/100k soon enough. It was so bad because of my inexperience and because I was riding the bike hard during it's early break in period at low speeds. I feel great riding it too. Last weekend I took the safety training course and killed it. Passed the final test, flawless. Helped some other people learn. It was almost a complete waste of money except for a very large increase in confidence and a small drop of insurance. Also I had a fun time and met a whole bunch of people who were awesome and so stoked to be learning to ride. I was like a rockstar having my own bike and license.

Also today I hit 180km/hr today :]. At 200 I will be satisfied.

Still the long weekend folks. This happy wave may be cresting soon. But I'll ride it till I bail.
