Steezing it Up in the Third Ward →
Heard of this article on the radio on the way back from work yesterday. I know it’s kind of strange but it really moved me. If you know anything about Houston’s Third Ward aka the Trey, you’ll know that it isn’t the best of neighborhoods. Anyway, here are some quotes:
“One of the first thing McKenzie has done is change the dress code. No more baggie jeans or...
Great quote. Relates not to dressing but also to how one presents and interacts him/herself with the world.
How you do anything is how you do everything.

“It’s tempting to imagine that [you] could be forceful and self-confident without being arrogant or jerky, but that’s a false hope, because it’s other people who get to decide when they think you’re a jerk, and trying to stay under...

A: After seeing Inception I couldn’t help but write a post about it. For those of you who haven’t seen it yet, go see it, you won’t be disappointed.
I couldn’t help but notice that Christopher Nolan’s costume director eschewed the ever-shrinking tie trend. It’s true, skinny ties make you look slim, hip, and crisp and I admit, even I have...
yay cycling!: How to get a nice bike for cheap. →
Another great way to go around buying a bike is to time your bike purchases to be around new model releases. This is usually between September-December right after interbike but can be as far out as February.
A lot of bike shops try to make room for the newer bikes at this time so you can get…

Great Article on the Tour Two-Man Battle by LeMond →

While I haven’t had a TV in my apartment for the last year, one of my favorite things to watch on TV is travel shows involving food, such as the ever favorite Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations, Man vs. Food, Bizarre Foods, Samantha Brown etc. For the longest time, I’ve wanted to do the same thing.
