I'm sitting here in Stockton taking photos of bowlers. And all I want to do is be in LA, riding my bike on crank mob. I missed the wetside ride. Now I am missing Crank Mob.
I can feel it in my blood. I should be on my bike, riding to to crank mob....I feel it. I'm having withdrawls. I can't figure out how to cure it. Yet I have to work.
My blood yearns for a ride.
And yet, this is only the first week, of 4 months of work. Oh life, how you mock me,
Hope you al have fun.

So you're good! Show 'em how it's done. I think you can take Amtrak down.
I wanna hear about this bowling project. It sounds pretty freaking cool.

I can't eat gummy bears. First because I'm vegetarian, and second because doing so is against Bearism, my currently religion.
Bike bowling was already invented. Its where you ride as fast as you can into a wall of other non noticing cyclists and see if you can knock them all down.
As for seeing other bikes up here. I see none. Well I saw a few magmas, and a weird looking gangster looking lowrider thing. Not very friendly looking people either.
Plus I couldn't hope anyone would drive up here. It's hell.
however maybe I'll make it out to Crank Mob SC next month, and be all sober and things. It'll be fun. AKA not fun, as the cops come and raid everything.
bah.

The "Black Forest" brand of gummie bears are quite tasty.
Then there's that other brand called "Haribo" or some shit.

I feel sorry for anyone that lives in Stockton. When I was living in Sacramento, we went to see NWA in Stockton. This was when they were just starting and their first album came out. Saw them in some crappy gymnasium. I'm not sure it was because no one wanted to book them or it was cost or what, but they didn't play anywhere in Sacramento at the time. Anyways that was the only time I've been to Stockton and don't really care to see it again. If you want to get a feel for what middle of nowhere USA feels like, go to Stockton.

Sad thing is, it is so true. I drove through and around many times, finding nothing. It reminded me of driving around Waupaca, Wisconsin as I do every year for my family reunion. Except, Stockton has a natural oder of manure and garbage.
I MISS YOU HARTWICK

I've honestly wanted to go and check that city out.
Whenever I drove past there on my way to < insert destination here >, I always noticed that river and all those abandoned buildings alongside it.
They've actually got a truckstop, not too far from downtown.
If it isn't packed to the brim, I'll pull in there for a little exploration.
And also to further confirm these reports of it being deemed as "Middle of Nowhere".

Yo Jaz, I have to admit, I miss your retarded antics as well. We don't have anyone as good as you at randomly harassing drivers.
