Clip of the Week

Posted on December 23, 2007

The video I made of our trip to Bishop to go bouldering made Urban Climber’s “Clip of the Week.” Not bad for a) shooting on a little canon point-and-shoot, and b) running out of memory during the key action point. :)

Work it harder, make it better
Do it faster, makes us stronger
More than ever, hour after
Our work is, never over!(daft punk)

first crash

Posted on November 14, 2007

i ride my little scooter down the same streets everyday, so i guess i’d kind of lulled myself to sleep. today, i drove out of my garage and turned left…like usual. my street turns into Santa Monica Blvd. I crossed the street to get into the left-hand turn lane at the red light. it turned green and i inched myself out into the intersection. there were only about 5 cars in each lane — they passed quickly. the 2nd lane had a bus that was lagging, so i timed my left-hand turn until after the bus passed. i accelerated around the bus … and just then i see a lady riding a bike with a kid in back crossing in the crosswalk. i slammed on my brakes — mostly cos the sight spooked me so bad. bad idea. my front wheel locked up and i fell onto my left side in the middle of the intersection. the lady in the bike just kept pedaling. i think i looked up at her in confusion and she looked back and yelled out “are you ok?” and just kept pedaling. i hopped up, and moved my bike out of the road. i set the kick stand and just slumped down onto the curb, slightly shell-shocked. the other light turned green and a car came across the intersection towards me. it stopped next to me. the guy yelled out: “are you ok?” … “yeah, fine.” … “that lady didn’t even stop!” … “yeah, i know.” he drove off.

after checking the big raspberry on my left elbow and the growing knot in my hip, i decided i needed to get to work. everyone that had witnessed the accident had already driven off. no one else would stop to ask how i was. it took me awhile to get my scooter started again, but i drove off to work.stupid pedestrians.

so sick of home ownership. what a freakin’ nightmare. who told me that it would be a wise investment? whoever you are, you should be ashamed of yourself. “but in Southern California, you’ll always make money…it’s such a great market if you can get into it.”oh yeah? try this one on for size.

and the bank is no help. they told me i have to default in order to have options. what kind of sense does that make? bleh. over it.

please buy my guitar amp.reasons i’m selling:

i purchased it cos it was hard to be a singer and play lead guitar. too much fred astaire on stage hitting all those pedals. i would frequently lose track of where i was in a song and blank on the lyrics.

i’d rather have a smaller amp cos most of the gigs i’m playing now are with a single acoustic player and keys. easier to transport and easier to have at home to practice with.
