Its probably good for riding at night.

Over the weekend I figured out the teleological purpose of this blog. It came to me in a vision. A bright orange two wheeled vision. I'll explain.

Last sunday, like any good blue blooded american would do during the super bowl, I was at a runway show in Bryant Park. Its fashion week so it was big deal, for my parents especially, and i don;t really care that much about football. It was a really cool show, for a company called Tuleh. It was certainly an experience. the clothes were interesting but not absurd, and it was fascinating to see the elements of the show came together as cleanly as they did. I also thought the image of about 30 photographers in bleacher style seating at the end of the runway was captivating and pseudo-philosophically interesting in terms of almost identical yet still very different perspectives as well as the always looming reproduction essay, but anyway. the point...

as we were leaving I saw a bike locked to a lamp post, but this was no ordinary bike. It was spray painted entirely bright orange: wheels, handlebars, brakes, gears, seat everything.

so what does this have to do with my new blog? Well in light of the orange bike i've decided that this will be a way to share random bits of interesting stories and experiences. It won't really function as a way to keep in touch (and would fail if i tried to make it so); emails will fulfill that purpose. but check back to hear about stupid randomness, like the forthcoming post about my toothpaste.
