permanence

there will come a time
all that is superfluous;
so i’d like to believe.
i can’t convince myself of its
entirety, but i am still so young.
so naive.

Woo – Kervin taught me how to fix the gallery. Man, the internet is completely beyond me sometimes. Anyway, we practiced our mediocre fixie tricks for like four hours the other night, and took lots of epic pictures and really boring video which you’ll see sometime later.
To all you cyclists out there, stay safe and keep warm!
take me home

These are some of my favorites from my trip this summer. The colder it gets, the more I wish I was there again.
BIKE CULT LOVES YOU
By Anna | November 16, 2009 | No Comments
It’s time for a little cross-contamination of projects. The OhShitHandle is proud to present the newest instance of debauchery and bike riding in the 505 – BIKECULT
Who is Bike Cult? We ride bikes. Plain and simple. Bring your grocery getter, bring your aerospoke, bring your mountain bike. We play Bike Tag every Saturday night at 9pm at Smith Plaza at UNM and EVERYONE is welcome! More events are forthcoming, as well as more debauchery! Meet us for Tag on the 21st and witness the launch of the new zine!
Hooray bikes!
this was going to be in the zine…

…but I’ve decided to write something a little different. More… fictional.
I don’t know where to begin. The importance of being one of the few selected to write an article for the first issue of a self-produced magazine, live or die (however it will turn out), is gargantuan. And I ponder what sort of audience I should tailor my writing to– this much I remember from English 120– and given the other members of the collective, I shall assume it’s the DIY punk-rock types; those who will pick up an issue of a cycling mag with “cult” in the title; those brave enough to take a set of pliers and a hammer to their chainrings, et. al. So to you brave enough to pay the three bucks and crack it open, I’ll scribe my memories surrounding the inception of the to-be organism known bluntly as BIKE CULT.
There was a night, similar as any other, and I do believe it was a Tuesday, on which a few of us youngins decided to do some beer drinking. As small a gathering as it was (no party aspect here, just four or five friends killing an eighteen pack) it still provided the stimulating environment in which a pseudo-intellectual brain can thrive. And really the night was about transcending all of that gumption and pride: would we be subjecting ourselves to the heinous devil what is intoxication had we been treading the trenches of important philosophical, psychological, existential quandry? All rhetoric– no, we would not. So we hopped on our bicycles and for a few blissful hours reminded ourselves that our bodies are more than transport for our heads.
So onto the campus we went. Words were exchanged, somebody in particular (and no specific names here– non-exclusivity and all) suggested we perform “MAD ONE-EIGHTY SKIDS ALL UP IN THIS BITCH.” There are two factors one must consider when attempting such a feat: 1) decent clearing and 2) minimal friction coefficients. I had neither. Want to see my bent fork? Maybe you’ll see us some night: crack your eyelids for areas of reflective brick; there are several. Tricks were performed, beers were consumed, (ssh it ain’t a dry campus but who’s looking right) one particular Vietnam veteran joke was told and I laughed until I threw up. Or maybe that was a different night.
Debauchery

Wow. These are late. I wasn’t all that diligent about taking photos on Halloween (i was busy with a bottle of whiskey) but here’s what I have. Yeah, the last one is exactly what you think it is. Puuuuunk.
Art School…

Tomorrow I am applying for art school and I have to submit at least three of my photos, which there are about 5,000. I’ve narrowed it down to ten and need help thinning it down from here. If you would be so kind as to look at what I’ve posted here and leave a comment with your opinion of my best 3-5 I would greatly appreciate it.
