Where has it gone...

Remember that extra second we were given at the count down of the new year.
Where did it go?

I'm sitting in the university library and just realized that it is the 23rd of January. I thought they were trying to sync the atomic clock. Are they sure they did it correctly. Are they going to do this every time the earth slips a bit off its axis? Because if so we're truly going to ruin the clocks. It's like a bank teller who keeps coming up short. Either teach him proper accounting or change his job description.

This is totally nuts! I've finally relocated the code for some of my favorite sites, but there are hundreds I bookmarked, but Firefox decided to act funky when i went to grab the update and get some more themes. Yeah, start from scratch madam.

So February is almost here and I'm hoping the weather will clear a bit to allow me to get some riding under my gut. Yes, I mean GUT! The trainer that was slipped onto my back tire is giving me some issues sitting in the saddle. I tried doing the five to fifteen minute trial, but it's just total torture for my sit bone.

The new spring Terry catalog arrived. I'm need to quickly jump on the sock-wagon. The one's from last summer have fallen apart. If you wait to long all you wished for will be gone. I hope I will have more time to recondition my body. Can you imagine it....spring time rides to increase your summer stamina.

I know it's early, but this is the best time to clean your bike from handlebar-bb-tires. If you're local bike shop is open go visit them before the season rush. Believe me they are VERY bored, especially if you live in a area where all four seasons pass by your front yard to leave gifts.

In the meantime, increase your salads by adding kidney beans, chick peas, tomatoes, broccoli and cauliflower. Help condition your inner organs as well.

Ciao!

Careful you don't know where that playlist has been!

So the Christmas holiday break from school is over. Woo hoo:( :(

Do I sound happy? Truthfully? Well, I am. Waiting in the hall for a classmate and I lucked upon an iTunes playlist by the name of Moosik, whicih consists of 5000 songs from various genre's. You name the genre and year and ta-da! Songs I've never heard of and those that take me almost back to my birth.

I couldn't understand who in this bum-backward building could have such beautiful songs flowing from their iPod. Well from one New Yorker to you I found the body. A tech-head here at school, originally from Long Island, hailing from the Ohio/West Virginia area with a music degree.

My first thought was Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore's The Wedding Player. However, that thought was cleared up quickly. This young man has worked with some of NYC's finest artists across the board. You can start from the early 1990's and work your way backwards.

So I confirmed his question if my playlist was heavy in podcasts. There are some things I've been thinking about such as where to get some of his music, which is predominately from vinyl. These are songs you can not find on iTunes, mp3, or Napster. So for my personal ears he will pull out his master vinyl-cd to transfer. I'm lovin' this dude, immediately.


So my favorite lunch spot in Pittsburgh, hotdogmapgh.com, has a great playlist as well. From classical, gospel, inspirational, r&b, hip-hop/rap, and jazz. Here's another playlist from a young NJ entrepeneur showing his musical roots listening to NJ & NY radio stations from WDHA, WKTU, WBLS, and mostly WNJR. The playlist at Hotdogma consists of music a decade prior to the birth of any of the owners.

So when you're out and about and luck upon an iTunes playlist, please be careful you never know what you'll find.
