what was that? is that all there is? who is this? this is it.

 the same 27 keywords keep popping up here because they mean something to me it’s not that I’m SEOing or maybe I am and I have been since before search engines existed. Finding what works and working it into the ground.

7 speed thumb shifters

they work for me

7 speed cassettes spaced out on 8 9 10 freehub bodies

walking the walk long before talking the talk

the same old photos keep popping up here because they mean something to me moving forward looking back. looking to the future through the framework of the past filling in the gaps with 5-gallon buckets of structural spackle applied with a straight blade shovel and smoothed over by the nostalgically gauze filtered hazy history of selective memory.

those were the days?? really?

maybe

i’ve had a 3.2 megapixel camera for 10 years because it worked for me as well as flipping a flip phone when I finally got around to getting a cell phone and now and now and now what the fuck am I doing holding a mega megapixel camera that makes funny noises and if I hold it against my face I can talk into it and hear voices if I can just figure out how to turn it on or off.

skuffing along dragging my feet into the 21st century

Oh the best of the best. And had the built in mystery click for and 8spd cassette. I have a 4meg cannon that barks when you shoot. I also have a pen but I lost the top.

I had a red Japanese teapot. I also had gerryrigged 9 speed barend shifters on the downtube of the promotional Raliegh Sallyclaus brought me which I rode to work every fucking day at MadFiber with only two or three clicks actually clicking...shifting is over rated. ask me about the learned helplessness of ergo levers and all the unnecessary clicky clicky. just pedal harder. I'm still riding that promotional Raleigh Sally but now I've got 7 speed thumbies all frictioned out. no clicky clicky.

phantom flip phone syndrome: as real as you want it to be. reaching for the ghost ring left behind in the left behind pocket kinda like the ghost ring left behind from a can of Copenhagen in the left behind pocket of your 501s in 1983
