quality of life issues

the plan was
there was no plan

sorta kinda       like

the absence of a hairstyle
is a hairstyle                    or

the presence of every color all at once
could be closely compared to
the complete absence of any color at all

it depends          of course
it always depends         on
your perspective
your medium
your message
your zip code

undulating alternating negative space

reminds me of a bagel
a roll with a hole
and imaginary points of achievement
like when it ceases to be strictly a vehicle for the transmission of cream cheese and becomes an essential enjoyable component of the meal

We now have womens small shirts in stock

There is no "we" in pilder but there's an "i"

When I say "we" I mean me 

before

after

routinely shaving with Occam's razor

all signs point to the dumbest common denominator 

but sometimes it's time   to dig a little deeper

Harbor Steps

2pm race


There’s no website to link to. No paypal account.  No 34.2 megapixel flyer that looks amazing on an iPad. This is just a good old fashioned alley cat type bike thing put on by Face and Buttercup. Saturday. For real. Really.  

 ...If you are traveling with small children, secure your own mask first and then assist those around you.

Seth, if you still have this guy, I'd like to borrow it on April 21-22 for display purposes only. You can give it to Cory and he'll haul it to Ballard for me, and then we'll return it unharmed.  Thank you.

Or    if he moved out...     Is there anyone else with a mannequin that I can borrow?? The torso is important. The  head  arms  and  legs would be cool,  but they're unnecessary. 

one of a kind
second to none

one at a time
way out of line

glow in the dark
short of the mark

seat of the pants
skin of my teeth

tip of my tongue

A wrinkle in time. A tinkle of wine an inkling of lime sprinkling sun shine saving nine with a stitch in time. There is no next step sitting around waiting for the other shoe to drop. Shopping online. Kicking karma down the line. Bought it on craigslist. Sold it on eBay. Value added. Password protected. Normal wear and tear. Depreciation. Standard deviation appreciation. Just riding along. It was a dark and stormy night.   Zoom out to take in the bigger big big picture. Re: cycling. Everything is biodegradable in the long run.

ten years worth of Friday nights blended together with broad brush strokes into one pleasant painterly retrospectively hazy memory   u-locked to a sign post in my mind somewhere between WA Legal and East Pike

ask me about the aerodynamics of a wider rim and how it relates to an individually wrapped single serving size cute little 20" front fender marketed targeted packaged for the recumbent consumer and what all that really means when pushing a 32 x 32 aka 1:1 ratio pedaling a plywood box full of precious cargo up Jefferson into a stiff headwind on an empty stomach

this is the most badass wheelbarrow in North America

it’s like the opposite of driving to the gym to ride a stationary bike

what’s the g for?

complementary opposites that interact within a greater whole
