For Xmas I asked for a blue sparkle Alien track frame.
a velocity deep V wheelset with the rear these sweet polkadots
and a plain white one for the front.
a sugino bottom bracket with a sugino RD crankset.
Soma double straps and toe clips
and a new chain.
Basically I wanted a new bike, but wanted new parts and not one that is pre-built.I don't think it's a feasible gift this year, but my dad did say that he would help me out piece by piece for a while. The bottom bracket on my old bike is starting to pop when I ride. I can't really replace it though because I apparently need some sort of special bottom bracket since the threading in the frame is all weird. At least that's what homeboy at the peddler told me.
I got a really neat watch for xmas, gears of war 2, a new digital camera, some new vans slip ons, money for the road trip, and rock band 2. Rock Band 2 has better songs than GH world tour.
Hope everyone has a merry xmas. TTYL!

I got this from a site called hip-hop-nation.com I took out the parts where he refers to the reader as a member of the hip hop nation because i though it sounded goofy...
Over the past week, the landscape of American Finance has been changed forever. We’ve all been reading about the impending recession and the failures of major financial institutions, but many of us still do not have a full understanding of how we got to this point.
With our Government finally reaching an agreement on a plan to use more than 700 Billion of our tax dollars to get Wall Street out of this mess, it’s important that the we "the people" really be ahead of the curve in understanding exactly what they’re doing with our money. Before we talk about getting out the current crisis we should be on the same page in understanding how we got here. Let’s go behind the numbers and discuss the financial principles that set the stage for all of this.
For decades, as Americans, we’ve been told that the key to building wealth and financial security is home ownership. Historically, purchasing a home provides better returns, over the long haul, than any other investment one can make – better than a 401k, better than any savings, better than any stock. Additionally, there’s the added security that in times of need, you can borrow against appreciation of the home’s value. After years of prosperity during the Clinton administration – from the late 1990’s through the early part of this decade, more Americans began getting their piece of the American Dream by purchasing homes. Cities like Atlanta, North Carolina and New York saw their property values double and sometimes triple in less than a decade. Banks and Mortgage companies all profited from lending money. Home values steadily increased and it was seemingly a win for everyone involved.
When you purchase a home, normally, you take out a long term loan with a bank or mortgage lender. That loan creates a steady source of income – through your monthly payments - for the lender. With so many houses being bought, the lenders began selling those loans - for cash to give out more loans - to Investment Banks.

I read the following on a myspace page while browsing today. I was kind of in disbelief, I haven't really talked to anyone who didn't believe obama might be the best major party candidate for the presidency, though I am aware there are people who do disagree. However if these are points people really use as to why Obama would be a bad president then I don't know where their heads are...

So,
I've been really freaking out since the salvia incident earlier this month. I've told my parents about it, and I asked them about maybe seeking psychiatric help. My dad is kind of against it because he feels that seeing a psychologist is only going to get me on more drugs, and he'd rather not see me doped up for the rest of my life (should I get addicted to prescription medicine)
I've been talking out my fears/problems from the experience of the drug and I am slowly starting to feel better. I plan on going to my parents house for the week and then Austin this weekend to chill out, it would be cool if everyone reading this would want to take a trip up to enchanted rock or somewhere near Austin where we could camp, hang out, and have some really good times without the use of any recreational drugs. Including alcohol. I think I should go without that stuff for a while.
So, who's down??
