Got game?

So I’m rocking some public transit action to the city. I got a dinner invite and I’ll be providing some cheap Mexican beer.
That’s right Tecate in a can.
So here I am sitting in the back of the bus (where all the bad kids sit) listening to some Cat Empire on the old iPhone, when [...]

I saw that coming

So it’s such a pretty day that I decided to take a stroll around the hood. I usually just walk to the bus stop or down to some store on the main drag here in The Laurel. But this time I decided to check out the actual neighborhood. I mean I see people walking around [...]

Thanks for clearing that up

So,this morning I was watching the news. I always do when I’m having my ritualistic morning cup-o-joe.
This morning though I was insulted even more than usual. They were continuing their coverage of the Sandra Cantu case with the courtroom appearance of her accused killer. The insulting part was when the news anchor described the scene when they [...]

Thanks Jack

OK so it’s been a while since I’ve posted. I was hoping to finish up the grand Oman Adventure before I moved on to other things but some things have transpired lately and I feel the need to write. Even though it’s out of sequence.
I’m sure you’ve heard about the Four Oakland Police Officers that [...]

Bet they didn’t see that coming.

So last night I was showing an out of town guest around Oakland. One of the things we had to do was have some Masu Sake (the bottomless sake at Coach Sushi). It was an interesting evening as so many of her friends had warned her of Oakland’s “mean streets” and of it’s residents propensity [...]

If Oakland had a decent butcher my house wouldn’t smell like blue cheese and Pine Sol.

So yesterday I was going to do one of my favorite things that doesn’t involve a motorcycle…or the exchange of body fluids.
I was going to make a kickass roast pork loin on the rotisserie to feed a bunch of drunk friends with. So I went to my local store( Lucky’s ) to buy the [...]

All the Ladies

Yesterday my buddy Dove returned Mirabelle to the Castle. I rode her to work today. What a bitchin’ little ride she is!!
Eisen came by and took Sharkey’s rear wheel. He’s gonna take the cast off tire and put it on his streetfighter. Then He will have a bike and can give me Sylvia back. Sharkey [...]

The Bay Area Guide to Lane Splitting Etiquette

So I’ve noticed of late a lot more people sharing the split with me on my morning commute and I feel the need to pass on a few do’s and don’ts. First be aware of other riders in the split. There is nothing worse than being cut off by some dipshit in loafers on a [...]

Axe Murderer Ninja’s do not work for Comcast

 So Sunday morning I woke up with a start. It was the familiar Axe Murderer Ninja false alarm that I thought I had gotten over. I checked my iPhone/alarm clock to see that it was just 8 in the AM. (Even though I forgot about the time change, the iPhone did not forget to fall [...]

The sea of boxes

So the castle is still a sea of boxes. Some empty, some full, and some opened to retrieve one or two essentials. I kind of feel like I’m camping. I still rummage through boxes in the morning looking for things, as I’m getting ready for work. I haven’t unpacked my kitchen yet so I’m mostly [...]
