I Got My Fixie and a Job!

My dreams are starting to take shape wonderfully the longer I live. I recently got hired at Starbucks, a franchise that highly respects its employees and gives them many perks, and I just bought my brakeless (yikes!) fixed gear bike (aka fixie).
I'm looking forward to my first job experience and the money I will make that I will be sure to save for my future manual Honda Civic and another fixie.
I'm also looking forward to modding my fixie and making it my own by changing the rims, handlebars, crankset, and adding lights to it. I also want to learn how to do tricks on my fixie. I guess I'll learn by practicing downstairs in my garage where it's so smooth that my tire doesn't burn off when I skid!
I can't wait to get really good at it!

Oh! I also got my driver's license in the mail two days ago! Woohoo! Surprisingly, I still haven't gone on the freeway yet because there always seems to be a reason why I can't go on it. Oh well! It'll happen in time and I know I'll be fine because Jesus drives for me and through me :)

Tragedies and Fixies

Ever since I threw the Black Stallion (my old bike) away, my only mode of transportation has been the bus. And now that I've earned some money from this blog, I want to buy a fixie. I obviously don't have the money for it right now but I'm saving up and I'm looking for a job. It's tough not having a means by which to go places. Everything starts to seem further and further away. I feel that I will be limited to this state of quasi immobility for an undetermined period that will definitely be longer than I would wish. I am very hopeful for the near future.

God bless you,
