Decisions


These are the two bikes I'm looking at... just for fun mind you, nothing serious yet. Sorry they are different sizes. But anyways..

The one on the left is the Tarmac E5 from Specialized. I've heard it is fast, light, responsive, and comfortable. Erik says it is one of the best bikes he has ever ridden. The Boca, I've actually never heard of anyone riding one. It is titanium, much like my Roo.. and they would look really cool together in my room. Of course, this shouldn't be a deciding factor when it comes to road bike purchases. So, I'm sort of at an impasse.. I'll probably go with the E5 since I'm betting Erik could get me a better deal on it.. though the Boca is sort of exotic. Titanium with carbon.. oooohh. The Specialized I believe comes with better wheels, and I probably can get a better spec kit through them.. and I've been loving the dura ace 10 on my roo.. and then I could get a nice set of training wheels and use them on either my road of tri bike. Oh man.. I need to stop thinking about this and get back to work. Sorry of the sudden posts and their length.

later

Comments are what keep me reading blogs. Sure, reading what people have to say is interesting, but hearing people comment, argue, mock, insult are even more interesting... well most of the time.

law and order svu is by far better than law and order ci.

pshawn is a p-unk.

vegetarianism, anthropology and biking (that one will surely get my ass e-kicked) are useless interests.

i'm just trying to pick fights. (that and trying to use the phrase e-kicked.)

i can't argue; i'm getting a b.a. in b.s. (with a minor in cleverness). communications and psychology: the two most generic majors available for people like myself who have no idea what they want to be, besides a camp director that is.

the real question is: who was a better duo, jerry orbach and chris noth or jerry and benjamin bratt?

dave, one of those bikes is for a giant and one of them is for a midget. i think you need something in between.

no, i did not read the post. did you mention their inappropriate sizes? i did not see it. i did not read it.

WHY AM I NOT WRITING THIS PAPER CRAPCRAPCRAP

Joey, you are so clever.. Clearly the one bike is merely farther away than the other.. duh. CI has its moments, while SVU is all this crappy interpersonal interaction between Oliva and the stupid detective. Oh, and need I even mention ICE-T.. his amazing acting skills really bring a taste of class to the show. Now Vincent D'Onofrio is a freaking amazing actor.. I mean he was in Kubrick film.. not that all Kubrick films are good.. fucking Eyes Wide Shut.. but still at least it doesn't have ICE-T, the man from such theatrical fame as "ICE-T's pimp'in 101" I'm not making this up. Anyways, cycling isn't useless, SVU sucks.. all undergraduate degrees are worthless (go Joey for going on..).. and skipping writing a paper to comment on my blog is freaking awesome.

would you like some cheese with those cwackers?

i think it is time for me to stop commenting and start keeping these thoughts to myself, eh?

Dave said...

Have we digressed and started discussing CSI? Since I love CSI mainly for its purely horrible reasoning behind all the cases. Horribly bad show, but entertaining.
The Boca is actually named after a town in Italy. Though the fact that it means something in Spanish is kind of cool.

i dont know what we are talking about any more

is this about television?

speaking of television (popevision tonight), i would like to plug my new away message. it is very long. it is the start of the first chapter of a story i am writing. it might be the best thing i have ever done. or the worst.

i might go to hell for writing this. i don't mean existential hell. i mean they might invent a kind of torture and captivity and put me there and keep me alive in the firepits with fat guys dressed like demons poking me with tridents.

this is the longest comment ever

i am so tired and sleepy right now
