developments

all right i guess it's time for another update!
time's been ambling along at its own pace and i'm doing my best to keep in a good rhythym.

first thing's first; i fixed my bike!
i had finally got around to proper (high) seat heights, tall skinny wheels and drop bars that it would get to this at some point or another. having been a street singlespeeder for so many years i wasn't about to get more complicated with gears... anyways, i love it it's great fun! it also makes sense since i'm training for that long ride in may: my friend dan had brought up the notion that, since i was already going to ride it singlespeed, i should consider fixing it as it's better for longer rides because your legs don't have a chance to build up lactic acid and cramp. good call. i tell you what i've been riding miles and miles everyday with some new friends and i'm certainly getting my spin on and beginning to understand cadence much better.

unbikerelated? not too much.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
GONG HAY FAT CHOY!
the new year in the bay was pretty understated. i can't really complain because i came from one of the best chinatowns in the world; chinatown nyc represent for all my days. haha. but yeah i took thursday off and went to chinatown. relaxed and spent some time during the weekend with the family out here. not too bad. but not new york, where my homies danced as lions and sold chinese new year tees. and i'm sure all my immediate family got together and ate REAL well, and spent some good times yelling together and at each other. ah new york. i'll be home soon.

oh i've been shooting photos more.
you can wet your toes (maybe) in what little photostream i have on flickr that i will attempt to deepen as the year goes on. you can view it at http://www.flickr.com/photos/thatkidnate/

anyways i hope your mid-february is giving you positive feeling toward the rest of the year. that's all i got.
