Six Three Two might not be at 632 for much longer...

Looking for an apartment has been lame. New York sucks because we're always fighting for space. It's expensive.

Charlie was crying mad loud for food, which is annoying, especially now that Dwain has taken to just responding to her with even louder meows. They are more alike than Dwain likes to admit.

I wonder when Dan is coming back...

I think I am going to get a tattoo soon. Probably.

Greatings from the land of grey and damp.

I'm gone for a few days and look what happens, campy hubs start exploding and things that aren't c-record start being called c-record. Crazy. I hope Dwain is staying out of trouble? Or maybe his hubs have simply vanished from this world all together?

London is pretty amusing. Its kinda like being in New York three years ago. People trow around words that have long since left circulation in NYC such as Fakenger. Front breaks are as prevalent as conversions and riding a fixed gear is just now as we speak starting to lose its status as something to talk about. Oh and both my lights got stolen. What the fuck?

Did i mention it rains a lot?

I might take another nap now and then ride of in to London looking for a job.

My fucking wheel!!

My beautiful record* wheel set is now incomplete. Fuck.

Day one of the shittiest weather of the season

If there is one thing I don't like, it is a bad attitude. You'll catch me talking shit, but when it comes down to it, I really could care less. Talking shit is a way to pass time. It is really funny and hilarious and the main way I find things in common with others. Regardless, it is cool with me that some people are into riding fixed gears and track bikes right now because it is what is trendy- I have done less cool things in my life, and they too were just phases. It's difficult because you can't take a position on anything, or choose not to take a position without being called out as a hypocrite. I think the fact of the matter is that I just do not care at all. I'm not a bike messenger, I'm not a "legit" scene kid, and that's really ok with me. I would prefer that. I seem to have friends who manage to find ways to respect me, which makes me feel as though I must be doing something right. In the mean time, I'm going to remain off the forums and websites and try to do my thing. Hopefully that doesn't offend anyone.

It's really exhausting to get upset and throw a fit because people on the internet don't totally subscribe to what you're doing. Talking shit is hilarious, and I think everyone can take a second to laugh at themselves. This is the reason why I give shit to my friends. Everyone needs to get knocked down for a second. Suck it up and keep doing your shit.

Also- I am really upset that Dan has complete control over the profile of our blog and also complete editorial control. This is a democracy. I have been abstaining from blogging because my last post was deleted due to Dan's executive decision that it was lame and he didn't want it online and it pissed me off. This is bullshit and I want to expose him.

PS: New York City, I missed you so much.

Crime with in the Empire

Petty crime in NYC is up. Violent crime is down. But try telling that to my face. My face decided without my consent to intervene on a mugging that was happening in broad day light on twenty eighth street right of fifth avenue. After running in to my face the mugger quickly dropped the iPhone he was steeling at this point the people chasing him lost all interest in him and they hardly bothered to notice my hero face and quickly clamored around the iPhone. Thats what you get stupid face. Next time you see someone stealing an iPhone you let them carry on.

This is just one of many crazy things that has happened to me in the last two years. Its probably just a stupid coincidence that the last two years and six days of my life I have spent working as a bike messenger.

Thirty six years and two days ago. This man road his bike for an hour at an average speed of 49.431kph which by the way is 30.714mph yeah there was a reason they called him the cannibal.



Oh and check out this nonsense while your at it. Before you ask, yes it will be more bad ass then Darth Vader.

Ok I'm of abroad for a bit. Its my passport status you see. I'm X9 at the moment, technically I'm a fugitive.

Hate, hate, aniversary, hate, hate, hate, hate...

Shit there is so much crap out there these days. Lets start with Rapha. Now I'll be honest I own a bunch of Rapha shit and let me tell you its nice. You feel like you are whipping your ass with silk when your riding in their bibs and wrapping your self in the finest of wool(which it pretty much is anyway) when wearing their jerseys.

Exhibit A: The Tweed Soft Shell



First the really stupid thing about this jacket. Its seven hundred and fifty dollars. I wont bore you with the list of things I would rather do with that much money. But lets just say one of them would be buy two of the classic Rapha soft shell jackets which are at least designed to be used for riding.



By the looks of things this motherfucker only has one pocket. Oh and did I mention its tweed? Yeah try wearing that stupid thing on your next group ride? I could justify dropping the cash on the classic soft shell because it was at least designed for riding in. This is just a stupidly expensive cycling jacket that will not match any bib short ever made nor will it hold your wallet AS WELL AS a banana. Great just what we need.

Exhibit B: The Cross Bib and Jersey by Rapha.

What the fuck guys? No one who actually takes cross remotely seriously would race it in bibs and a jersey. Have you ever actually been to a cross race? Or did you just take your regular 3/4 length bib shorts slap some orange on them and call it a day? If you had actually watched a cross race you would notice that everyone has these crazy things called cross skin suits on. Strange... And yes unfortunately i have been racing cross this season in bibs and a jersey so far. But shit if I had enough money to afford this little set of gear I would have bought three Kissena cross suits by now.

Ok moving on to ZIPP. Yeah ZIPP you can go suck a dick you fucks. God I need a moment to calm down from all this anger welling up inside me. My race wheels since May have been a sweet set of 303 tubs that I bought brand new. These wheels did not even see 1500 miles since they only came out on race day. And they have the audacity to crack? Seriously ZIPP suck a dick.

Oh did I mention that as of two days ago I have been on the road for two years? Well its true. Two years ago I was a fresh faced kid who was way to exited about his job and ended up running everywhere. Shit I even took shits fast back then. These days I have slowed down a bit. Not on the bike. I think I actually got faster on the bike but in my attitude. It helps to be relaxed when people with jobs that suck treat you like shit all day. It also helps to look good(while dodging buses).



But I could never look as awesome as these guys. I want to be like these dudes when I grow up.



I had some other shit i wanted to rant about today but i think I'm done for the night. So long and good night.

News clippings and the stating of facts.

Yes, hello.

So there has been a rampant lack of blogging as of late in the all mighty six three two house hold. I pledge to you dear readers that I will seek out whatever is causing it and weed it out with the same vigor and conviction of a French anti doping agent. In other words things are not likely to change and you are just going to have to love it or leave it.

Our first topic today is about a very disturbing article I read today over my morning coffee in AM New York. Apparently a legislator for the state of Nebraska had filed a law suit against none other then God. Ernie Chambers was seeking an permanent injunction against God. On what grounds you may ask? Well according to dear Ernie God has been making terroristic threats against the senator and his constituents in Omaha, inspired fear and caused “widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earths inhabitants.” Some pretty heavy charges no doubt. Bummer for Ernie because no one could find this God to give him the proper paper work so Judge Marlon Polk threw out the case.

Ernie reasons that “Since God knows everything, God has notice of this lawsuit”.

Moving on to the stating of facts.

It has recently been pointed out by a 1/3rd of six three two that we are in fact the most solid track bike house hold around. The other 2/3rd quickly agreed and the assessment was quickly proven by the solid fact that our track bike stable is simply superior to pretty much anything else out there.

Cross is the new allycat anyway...

All you hipsters need to get off the road and get dirty in the mud.

Cross season is here!

But i could not agree more with the above statement.

It's not that I don't want to blog,

it's just that I am usually so tired.

As pictured, Charlie is still sleeping too much. Unlike images of her from the past, here we see Charlie at her most vulnerable. I don't really know what happened to Charlie during her early development that has caused her to act completely unlike anything resembling a cat, but, I will also never know. Dan was fostering her for the time that I think she learned most of her bizarre/uncharacterizable habits. I love her regardless, and I think Dwain has learned to too. I sometimes catch him cuddling her real close to his face, even though I know it makes his eyes turn red and water for hours. I learned that from watching him try to wear clothes he left on the floor for too long and that Charlie turned into one of her many nap spots.

This is also really important for all of our readers to see:


Yup. It's Crihs at his most darling. I'm pretty sure Dan missed this... but hopefully many got to catch him on his way home in his new shorts. I promised him I'd put this online.

I've been reading about the economic collapse pretty consistently on the NY Times website... I actually laughed out loud/wanted to cry when I saw the literally 1.5" tall font they used to convey the headline, which, I don't remember verbatim but, read something like "BAILOUT PLAN FAILS. DOW DROPS 777 POINTS TODAY". It was kind of hilarious to see- but only when speaking from the most cynical point of view possible. As I am writing this, I also just read that after revision and a re-vote tonight, the bailout plan has passed. I'm really really relieved/horrified/frustrated. It is completely out of my control, and because of that, I hope it is the right thing. Economic collapse is definitely a bummer- maybe one day I can again have hope for social security and retirement before I am 80.

What does UN week mean for us New Yorkers?

Besides the barricades all over the east side of town? And swarms of cop cars roaming the city like some kind of crazed gang?

oh yeah we get dudes in unmarked suburbans with machine guns chilling in traffic.
