I know this may sound a bit dorky, especially when I'm writing this to anyone, but you've all truly touched my heart in someway. Thankyou for just being there. For reading about my life/work when you can, for commenting when you feel the desire to, or just to be inspired by what I do in some way. For showing an interest in me, for making the effort to meet me, for telling others about my journey. Just knowing that I can paint or write anything and have just one person see it is so uplifting.Review: ProWash Activewear Detergent

Top Gear is one of the BBC’s best known programmes and the most popular show on BBC2 in the UK. The Vietnam special was originally conceived as an old car journey from Phnom Penh to Hanoi, but later evolved into an epic bike journey from Saigon to Hanoi.

Ruhi tagged me with a special thing…The person who tags you gives you five different words and you have to make five pictures based on those words using MS-Paint only.

Extracts from Alan Bennett's diary of the preceding year have become a regular feature of the New Year issue of the London Review of Books. It would be easy to send up these edited extracts, with their luvvy name-dropping and predictably Bennettian observations on the minutiae of daily life, if Bennett and the LRB didn't do it so well themselves: the front page byline for this year's diary is 'Alan Bennett eats his lunch'.

In the past 18 months I’ve gone from a 29er rookie to having ridden several designs from a handful of manufacturers. 29ers are for real and unbelievability, I’ve even muttered the words “I could ride a hardtail again” after riding a 29er hardtail earlier this year. In spite of my rose-colored glasses, I’ve still gone into my 29er experience with my eyes wide open–expecting to find the Achilles heel of the big hoop phenomenon. I thought I’d find floppy-handling, top-heavy feeling and awkward riPodcast: The Stooges - Metallic K.O. (10.6.73 / 2.9.74)

They do (play, that is), and nobody gets killed, but Metallic K.O. is the only rock album I know where you can actually hear hurled beer bottles breaking against guitar strings.” -Lester Bangs Rock ‘n roll fans were dealt a serious blow in the first week of 2009 with news of the death of original Stooges guitarist RonTraining for Cyclocross - An Off-Season Plan for a Strong Next Season

This is a story of how one bullet instantly and simultaneously ends one life and jacks-up another on a BART platform in Oakland California, on New Year’s Day. The riot that occurred in the aftermath is a footnote. Yeah, people are pissed, and for once they took their anger out of their neighborhood and to City Hall - well, almost. The police stopped the protesters a few blocks short, as they moved toward the city center, so that is where the shit hit the fan – cars burned, tear gas unleashed,Random Vrijdag
