Honestly, who learns to ride a motorcycle in San Francisco, CA…quite possibly the hilliest city in the world? Well I for some reason decided to. After a few hours of riding through my neighborhood which requires me to go up and down STEEP hills and learn how to operate the hand and foot breaks, clutch and throttle at the same time while not rolling down the hill backwards, killing the bike or lurching into the car in front of me.

Needless to say, Im tired, my muscles are all sore, and my head hurts from thinking. It was fun to get out and about on the bike, but it was a killer day. I did get a new helmet though, one that fits, that i can see out of, and that according to the salesman people will be able to see me in. I ride a black bike, with a black jacket and dark jeans. This helmet should make me seen by other drivers, I hear.

Ok. I know the bums cant read this, because they are bums and most likely cant afford computers or internet, but if they could I would have this message for you. BRILLIANT! Only a homeless person would steal a shopping cart and use their hard earned pan handling money to buy a pad lock to protect it. I love this city. This Photo taken by theFerf

Im always amazed by the crap I find on the street. For some reason, there is a for sale sign on this television (for $25) and the tv is just sitting on the curb. Unbelieveable. This Photo taken by theFerf

Life in San Francisco…never a dull moment. On my way to the office today I was taking my usual route, listening to podcasts, and generally minding my own business. When I came up to a moajor intersection, I was forced to stop at the corner and wait on traffic and was disgusted yet pleased with what I saw.

On the corner, directly in front me, sat to pigeons fighting for what looked like food. As I leaned in a little bit closer I realized what the food really was….a finger nail! Those fuckers were eating fingernails! Someone had either lost or SEVERELY trimmed their nail and dropped it on the street…much to those pigeons delite.

I was seriously grossed-out at the site of 2 pigeons going at that finger nail like it was their last chance for survival. Well, at least I know the next time I clip my nails, they will not be wasted. I can simply toss them out the window for those flying rats to naw on.

I started the hunt for a motorcycle a long time ago. I have desired to own one for years, but could never afford one (especially in the midwest where they dont sell anything of any quality at a decent price). Low and behold, this beauty popped up on craigslist.com for a very low price. I am happy to announce, I now own it. The gentleman drove it up to me from Santa Cruz and even threw in a free helmet!

In any case, this is the photo that was listed on craigslist. I just got it today and plan on polishing it up (getting my motorcycle permit) and riding it a whole bunch. When i get it all cleaned up, I will post new photos to flickr. (ps. woot.)
