//Music of the Month 1-09//

Jason Schwartzman not only happens to be one of my favorite actors, but also has an immense amount of talent when it comes to music. His new album "Davy", from his solo music project Coconut Records, comes out on the 20th and it will be something worth hearing.

There's nothing like some great music to start the year off right.

Day

Today, was a very interesting day,

I had no plans, I had the day off work, and I had nothing to do. So it all begins by getting a call from my number one bike part supplier at 10:30 to wake me from my slumber. My new bottom bracket was in.

So I head over and pick it up. I then head home and prepare to put on my new part, assuming this will take me under an hour. Well it actually only took me two minutes to completely strip the threading on my crankset. This evolved into a series of poundings, beatings, and pryings and led to my personal wounding.



I eventually went to a bike shop where I had a wonderful conversation with the owner, but who, unfortunately, could not fix my dilemma. My simple endeavour eventually turned into a six hour struggle to make something happen, but in the end I put my bike back together the way it was when I started.

Fortunately, my good, not seen very often friend, Danny gave me a text in the day and wanted to ride. This was perfect because I needed to vent off some of the frustration from the day. We did a nice 15 mile loop and finished up the night by 7:30. This was followed by a couple rounds of Aggravation with Mom and Dad, and the most delicious ice-cream in the world.(It's called coyote)

I'd have to say, this day took a turn for the better.

Goodnight everyone.
