SHRED OR DEAD

It’s strange when you start to think about your influences. I find out today (hopefully) when my bike is supposed to be coming. The duder who is ordering it for me from head office should get my confirmation email today, and I’m pretty stoked. I used my extra staff discount to buy some sweet unobtrusive lights, and a really oversized chain lock for it when it comes. I haven’t used either on my old bike, to keep them….pure.

It’s really early in the morning, and I still need to write an essay. I’ve written maybe 1/4-1/2 of it, and I just can’t get stoked on writing it. I really like looking at, and thinking about Mike Brodie’s work, but I just am not driven to write about it now. Not to mention I just sobered up from the staff party for MEC employees.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this summer. I’m pretty excited about getting into a schedule of working hard all day, and then skating until I’m hungry or it’s dark out, or I need to go to bed to get to work in the morning. Either way there will be many photographs taken which is just about all I want to do. I get really stoked when I read things like Color and get excited about flashes and cameras in a way that I really like.

Anyways, I guess I need to get to work. Bummer.
