Stuff I like doing:
Riding my bike
Collecting cans to buy new shit for my bike
Working as a dishwasher....to buy new shit for my bike
Enjoying a little O.A.R.
Laughing at my friends who have to get up at 4:45 in the morning to row.
Watching Dumb and Dumber/Billy Madison/Happy Gilmore/ The Boondock Saints.
Wishing I were Lance.
Chilling with my riding buddies, a few of the funniest people I know.

My ride: A 2003 Specialized Allez Comp with a Columbus frame, full Ultregra, a saddle I bought from Ari that is crooked, bad tires, carbon fiber fork and seat post, Speedplay Zero pedals, Shimano shoes. It's pretty and blue.

Caution ladies!! This applies to all you girls reading this who are like "damn, this kid is fine. I'm gonna look this fox up." I have a girlfriend who I love very much. Her name is Becca. She's awesome, she's hot, she's funny, she's athletic, and she doesn't mind that I shave my legs. Sheryl Crow aint got nothin' on Becca. Can you ask for more?

I got recruited to Bates to row. I had been rowing year-around for four years. I was obsessed with rowing. I woke up one morning, and decided to be a cyclist. Now I am obsessed with that. Cool...or not cool, if you are the Bates rowing coach.

Quotes:

"He which hath no stomach to this fight, let him depart; his passport shall be made and crowns for convoy put into his purse."-King Henry V, from Shakespeare's Henry V.

"Would it be considered hazing if we made the freshman shave their legs?"-Ari, at an anti-hazing meeting.

"Ari probably forgot."-everyone, always.

"One who sits dispassionately, unmoved by changing conditions...standing firm and unwavering; regarding pain and pleasure alike, dwelling in the self...such a one is said to have risen above..."-The Gita, an ancient text on Yoga.

All I want to do is bicycle. I want to ride my bicycle...I want to ride my bike.-queen
