books and music

I can hear a plane flying over and above.  do you ever imagine what it would be like to witness it crash,... like have it flying straight for you? (i know horrible random thought).
and you should hear the birds lately....  chirping like crazy little mad lovers.

So I thought my blog was in a need of an update.
Its so great to have the change of season hit.  I've been biking my tush around the city and I feel like TODAY was the day I actually felt a little bit in shape.  Ahhhhh.  No longer gasping for woops of air after climbing up a semi-steep hill.  Those road bikers still kick my A,... (probably forever and always) but none the less it's getting increasingly easier.  Yes, a pat on the back would be great.

I've been reading a book by Bukowski called Tales of Ordinary Madess.  Good good read.  I can thank my buddy Beau for that (kind of stole it from his bathroom... don't worry Beau, I'm almost finished!) Anyway, Tales of Ordinary Madness is a bunch of short stories by Bukowski in which each story has a great brutally honest point of view..... someone is usually drunk (I'm thinking it was Bukowski, idk)...
I also read a book by Nicole Helget (sleepy eye native, which is my homeland).. its called the Turtle Catcher... I highly recommend it,.. I finished it in almost 3 days.  Good good good read. She also has another book I read called Summer of Ordinary Ways.  Her writing is extremely visual.
OH and not to forget another book I received from a friend called "Everyday Clairvoyant" by Cyndi Dale.  Another booked I almost finished in 8 hours,.. its now in CA with my sis... speaking of

here is my sis on her way back to LA (she took a hella awesome job offer working for the E! network as an assistant stylist, just tooting my horn for her... what? whatever, i'm proud!)
(side note: she also shipped 2 boxes of items out as well!) ;)


OK, this is has put me into photo share::::: (I honestly have been doing more than reading and biking).... i went bowling... check out this perfect form by Mr. Blaufuss.

(side note: i'm horrible at bowling,... rarely hit past score 100)

The spring has also been a little tragic.... this is my cousins backyard in New Ulm, MN.  (wowzers!)  Looks like a scene from Oh Brother Where Art Thou!?

Other than this and that, I've been listening to  Dr. Dogs almost non-stop. Their new album, off of pandora, and live this coming Saturday.  I also just recently saw the Watson Twins (kudos to A. Schmidt for that!)=== their harmonies were SO. SPOT. ON.  loved it.

thats about it kids.  go hit it!
peace. love.
