Dangerous, once you have been dead already"

"Go get fired three, four times in your life and see how you like it. There’s a freedom that comes from that, you know? Dangerous, once you have been dead already.” - Pete Carroll 

Specialized Sirrus 2007 - Satin Red

The above image was taken after the purchase, as well as removing some of the extras the previous owner (middle aged asian women) put on, including a rear fender, safety lights on the handlebar and seat tube, and kick stand.

I found the bike on craigslist. She was asking for $250. After telling her how it worked, but was in bad shape, I was able to bring her down to $150 after trying to get her down to $125.

Time for the next tattoo?

This is the piece I want done over my left shoulder. The face of the woman would start on my shoulder blade and the hair/flower would turn into a half-sleeve. The problem is that I haven't found the right artist to get this done.

The homie Mark just got his tat done the other day though by an artist named Joel A

Just got my own iron skillet!

One of my favorite songs evar.

Been very familiar with the music from a very early age. First time seeing the video today... damn.

"No no no no no no ..."

How fucking awesome is this dude?!

still need to catch up

Picked up a WOD book at the Regionals. Need to transfer most of my results over into this.

Fight Gone Bad 5 was awesome. We went to the new Urban CrossFit (congrats Craig!) and competed amongst a bunch of folk (my team was Adam, Tony, Colin and John). We were 3 (hot damn) points away from winning 1st place. Boo.

• Krypton Keeper U-Lock

• Giro Rift (LIVESTRONG Matte Black/Yellow) - Representing FCF!

I already have a black Timbuk2 Commute Messenger Bag (M), two Ogio Ionik backpacks, a brown pinstripe Ogio Hip Hop Messenger Bag, as well as an old school, rare, no print Kozmo.com Chrome Messenger. I need a better tool (I've got a lame-O Schwin), a pump, some fenders, and some better tires for when it rains.

This also makes me want to get another rain shell. One that's BRIGHT

I'm torn between how the ending WOULD'VE been and how it actually ended (the ending I grew up with).

Today I gave a homeless man on the corner of Denny and Eastlake my Jimmy John's Unwich #11 and then was blessed with a thank you card from my business partner

and a cash bonus!

Cool.

Still playing the more narrow stance. Used a 4-minute rest today in between sets. Utilized the belt for the last set.

Bench press was wobbly, but doable. Still working on timing.

Started to jump back- need to jump up instead. Faster elbows and louder feet as well.

I was hoping to be up to 170# by this week (currently at 152#), but the eating part is hard for me. I haven't planned out my meals that well and it's been costing me a bunch. I really need to get a mini-fridge in the gym asap.

Craig made me narrow my stance for the backsquat. I let my hip go a couple of times, but at least I grasp the concept.

The nerves in my arms still fire off if I'm not careful of controlling the path of my elbows.

Failed 5th rep twice before using a belt. The bar should be held closer during these maximal efforts.
