Just got home from work and had a quick beer and a bagel with smoked salmon and cream cheese. Pretty nice way to end the day. It was a beautiful day again today. When it's sunny and warm like this it really does improve my mood and make me happier - now, why can't it be like that every day? Time for a move to California </span></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">methinks...?<br /><br />My first blog - it's not for anyone else, it's just for me. If I can have somewhere to release what I'm thinking, feeling and doing thn maybe I can stop being so fucking sensitive to everything all the time. It's healthy, right...? ;)<br /><br />So, what was I looking at today? Well, for a while now I've been really into those custom chopper and motorcycle shows on the <a href="http://www.discovery.com/">The Discovery Channel.</a> I mean shows like American Chopper and Biker Build-o</span></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">ff. (I fucking love those shows). Anyway, it's been driving my lifetime ambition of learning to ride a motorcycle and then buying m</span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5959/1378/1600/biker.22.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5959/1378/320/biker.22.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">y own mean machine! I'd always thought I'd be a sport bike kind of guy, and I still am</span></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;"> torn between hog or sport. After watching these shows, I'm veering towards the hog side. But the thing is, I don't want a Harley like everyone else. I want... my own, personal CUSTOM CHOPPER. Unfortunately, they usually g</span></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">o for thousands and thousands of dollars (which I don't have). Part of the draw of those TV shows is the tinkering and building of the actual bike. So I thought, why don't I build my own? I started doing a bit of research and discovered that it would probably cost around fifteen to twenty thousand US dollars for a custom chopper kit. Considering that I could buy a new sports bike for around ten thousand Canadian dollars, and I don't even know if I'll like riding it seems</span></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;"> like I'm not gonna be building my own bike anytime soon.<br /><br />If you're interested in building your own custom chopper, check out this <a href="http://www.motorcycleparts-accessories-andmore.com/motorcycle-kits.html">site</a> and follow some of the links to the stores. There actually looks to be some pretty neat stuff you can build.<br /><br />As for the rest of the day..? Well, it was a pretty good day at work. I love the days when you just get a lot of stuff done and there aren't a lot of roadblocks that keep cropping up. Having said that, the</span></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">re's nothing like those roadblock days for a challenge in problem solving as well. Came back from work and I had a beer or two. I'm not really supposed to be drinking, but I've been pretty good and I figure a couple every now and agin won't hurt too much.<br /></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Which reminds me. I hope the freaking doctor comes back soon as I need m</span></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">y s</span></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">hot. She went on holiday for a couple of weeks and cancelled my appointment the day before she left. I hav</span></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">e to take vitamin B12 shots to keep me from getting too tired and I really am feeling the 'gap' between them. Also, she's got my results regarding my ulcer tests. I'd really like to start getting that sorted out as soon as I can.<br /></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Today's picture. Couldn't sleep last night so I decided to</span></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;"> play with the light and take </span></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">some</span></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;"> pics.
