i bought a supercute bike in south buffalo from this guy who is closing his bike shop and retiring. anyways, its called tony's bikes and the address is 3600 south park ave.

anyways he was selling cruiser bikes for $80 but is marking them down to $50 or $40, plus theres tons of parts you can get supercheap. no more bike pumps, etc. bc they've sold and he's not ordering any more, but you can find tons of great shit, including some really really cool old cruisers, cooler than the ones ppl have been riding around.

tony himself was fun to talk to, he's been there for 21 or so years, but has been in the business for years. he was talking about bert's bikes (you know the huge mega-chain) and how they charge so much for so little. this guy was into it for the bikes, you could tell from his shop and the way he talked. anyways, check it out if you get a chance (go before the great ones disappear!), you can certainly negotiate a good price with him.

today i am sore, after riding bikes all the way to orchard park/ chestnut ridge yesterday. we went to waterfall and the eternal flame, which i'd heard about for years but had never been. it was already lit and was nice to look at, the shale seemed slate-like to me. if youre not familiar with it, the area has layers and layers of shale, which has small cracks in it which allows some of the natural gas inside the earth to escape, and if you hold a flame to some of the escaping gas, it'll stay lit.

we also passed by balistreri's bakery, which according to my friend marc, has great bread but a year or two ago has relocated from the city to orchard park. we didn't get to stop by, but next time you pass it remember that..

oh, and thanks for all the cheektowaga advice, folks. i havent been there yet, but there's still 23 more days of august.

i have a hard time writing anything of real substance on an online journal like this. i think it has to do with the fact that i like knowing who im talking to. but also bc im a private person in general. sorry if you were hoping to find anything out folks..

now i want to see what happens when i click to hide this entry. who sees it, i wonder?

don't mean nothing

i was writing an entry about mike seaver and his soul-saving ways that got erased. i wont bother replicating it, but you can see for yourself whether or not youre damned. one interesting thing about kirk is that he married that girl chelsea (who played his gf kate) and they live in the wny area, or so is the word on the street.

this looks like my sister 8* as well as that mario bros character that throws spikes from the cloud.

broken social scene is playing thursday at the square today. yay. too bad i have a f**king meeting right in the middle of it all. they were sposed to play the lollapalooza that was cancelled (call it something besides lollapalooza, geniuses..like field day..). see yous there maybe

that estrip voice that comes on when you load the site sure is scary at 6 in the morning.

hooray for midnight rides and full moons. and doing new buffalo things everyday.

it looks like that edward hopper painting outside, the one that i can never remember the name of, with the trees and the houses and the lightness of morning coming in above the trees and the darkness of night underneath.

your song just came on stickboy; come around and talk it over. good day, boys and girls and everyone in between

what should one do today?

tell me, is there anything in cheektowaga thats worth checking out?
