some of them think i'm odd

so i felt like an odwalla, you know they are amazing. it was 3.25 am and i couldn't sleep and thought why not go get one at woodman's. (for those of you who don't know what that is, it's a wisco based grocer open 24/7) i didn't feel like driving so i checked the weather, 13 mph winds making it 5 degrees. this meant it was good enough to bike out, just needed to wear a scarf. at 3.45 am shoved off and road 4 miles there, got my odwalla, road 4 back. something about being out on the streets when no one is out. always fun to just own the road on a bike. i love the peace and serenity you get when you can just enjoi the world as it passes by you on your bike.

i know some of my friends think i'm crazy for biking during certain parts of the day and during certain cold spells. the way i look at it, if it isn't icy or pouring rain, why not bike? most of my commuting in madison can be done on my bike and i just put a bag on my back and away i go. so to biking on dec 2nd, cheers!


post ride with my odwalla, and now off to work.

happy dec 1.

well, weds it is. time to find out how much it cost to replace all your stuff in your toiletry bag, minus your toiletry bag. toothbrush + toothpaste + shaver + shaving cream + face wash + travel bottles for shampoo + shaver blades = 35 dollhairs. note to all those thinking of leaving all your stuff at your parents house, bad move stan. traveling to vegas tomorrow, not sure what to do once i get there, but all i know is photo opportunity. so you'll see some fun shots from there for sure, once i get back and actually have a computer to edit them on. any suggestions for what to see? never been there before...

get to wake up and be ready to head to location at 6.00 am. ever stop and wonder if what you actually wanted to be when you were younger say, 12ish and where you are today in your professional life, actually match up? i know mine doesn't, i thought i was gonna stay on the farm and be a dairy farmer. someday, i'll be farmer mike again, but the job i have is a great job working in photography. it's a long way from the farm, but every now and then, i find myself back on a farm. good times.
