Hello Folks fans, friends and Freaks!

This weeks installment is nothing more than a large plug for the
Doritos Viralocity contest that is happening right now in Canada!

Here is whatsup!

Doritos wants people to make a video commercial no longer than 60seconds and have it viewed by millions of people, each view creates points for the video.

The video with the most points on March 31st will win 100,000 dollars!
If the user reaches Maximum Viralocity (10,000,000 points), the winner will win a total of 250,000 dollars!

The Buttah:
WHEN we win, we will throw the largest free party that the east coast has ever witnessed! We are talking wharehouse, inflatable castle, all the dj’s that we know and YOU! FREE!

What I am asking of you, is that you will go to this website:

CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO!

and watch our video, give it a five star rating, and then favorite it!
That will award us with 7 points, so do it from as many different computers as you can and each extra time we get 5 points (since you can only rate and favorite it once)
If you can get someone from overseas to watch the vid, we get 100 points.
The video with the most points at the end of each week gets an automatic 1000 bonus points so we need to act quickly because the top points are up over 20,000 right now!

Come on east coast! lets make this musicians dreams come true and in return, you too get to benefit from the greatest party ever thrown!

It is so excruciatingly important that you watch the entire video or we dont get any points, they are based upon youtube views and there is no view recorded for vids that are not watched in their entirety.

Thanks to all of you in advance for the help!

Peace, Love, and Happyness!

Hello Folks, Fans and Freaks!

Bikes! Bikers are everywhere! No, not motorcycles… but cyclists! They plow through on their dual wheeled mechanisms even through the toughest of winter days. Why do they do this? It doesn’t matter. It’s their own ‘thing’ and we have to let them do it, the same way we all drive around in warm vehickles and they leave us to it.
There is however a problem or an annoyance I will go on about for a little bit, and that problem is when I’m driving around the city and having to lean over into the oncoming traffic to make room for a cyclist who has leaned over into my lane because of cars parked on the side where the bicycle should be. (Why are so many cars allowed to park on streets where there are only two lanes, and skinny lanes at that? (If it was up to me, the cyclists would all be regulated to the sidewalks!) which leads me to todays issue.
Why we don’t have bike lanes like they do in other cities?
I spent some time in our nations Capital of Ottawa Ontario where biking is even bigger than it is here, so large in fact that a piece of the daily traveled road is blocked off every Sunday for cyclists to have their own roadly real estate. The streets share what they call “Bike lanes”. Most of these lanes are located next to the sidewalks, this means for wider roads yes, but they do in most places have narrower sidewalks. And there are strangely enough, bike lanes that traverse through the middle of the two automobile lanes. This is a city where government officials and university Professors travel on bikes to work each day, and biking has not been delegated to only the hippies or people who can’t afford cars.

I believe that it is because of the people in high power positions riding bikes that they get to have such glorious bike lanes in the city.
And if we could alleviate the stigma of cyclists being tree hugging granolas, students and poor people then maybe other folks might not look at it as a bad or Low-Class sort of thing.
If other cities in this country could get their high-powered folks to step up to the bike and peddle their bodies around, for whatever personal reason they may have, then other cities may also have a chance of getting groovy bike lanes. Another point for the bikers in Ontario is that Ontario does not have an enforced bike helmet law, this is a major reason for the surplus of bikers found scooting around. The bikers themselves do not consist of hippies trying to save the planet because their hippie friends are doing it too, no, these are highly educated people who are doing it for other reasons, fitness, saving money on using their cars (They DO own cars, they choose not to drive them) The parking has also hit the level of sky-rocketing prices in Ottawa which I’m sure is a contributing factor in this issue as well. So, lets go over this once quickly, maybe I can point out some things that could allow other smaller cities to have their own bike lanes installed…

If we stop thinking only hippies, students and poor people bike around, get that mentality out of our heads, then maybe some higher-ups will start doing it!
Helmet Laws: GONE!
Raise Parking Prices!
Install Pay-by-Day Bike racks with built in Locking mechanisms (So cyclists don’t have to carry around bulky bike locks)

But in the end, I just want cyclists to stop riding their bikes so far out from the curb that it forces us drivers to go over into the oncoming traffic. Also, stop driving in the middle as if you were a motorcycle or a car, because you are not and you will get run over.

Peace \ /
