Little Things Make a Difference


Today, on my daily run three unusual things happened.  First, I saw Ashely Green right where I run.  This just made me so happy cause I not one not one to say that I saw movie stars very often.  The second event, was when I was walking back, this one man I was walking behind had this amazing shirt that I love.  If you can’t see it it says “I can’t stand to accelerate I ride a recumbent”

That just made my day cause it’s nice to know someone else favors biking (maybe not the same type of biking that I’m thinking of, but it’s biking none the less).  The second thing that happened was that I bumped into one of the tenants in my building.  I thought it was really cool that I could just come up to him (I don’t know his name) and have a conversation with him.  But, it made me start to think, if he put a little happiness in my life how much happiness can I put in other’s life?

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot of this notion.  I saw this book at Urban Outfitters that had to do with random acts of kindness. I mean we all feel good after doing something nice for someone.  Even talking to someone you don’t can make the difference between this day was borderline crappy or a good day.  So my challenge is to continue this role.

How will I do this?

 

So what I was thinking was to make this a blogging project.  Basically each day there is one good deed a day.  Once I actually buy the book, I fully intend to finish the book and write about all my experiences.  if you guys have any comments please post and keep reading it should be fun to read.

Bicycle Frenzy


After getting back from Colorado I was happy to see my city and family, but something was missing.  I started to terribly miss my bike ride to work everyday.  While in Colorado, I got to ride my bike pretty much everywhere.  Unfortunately, in the city biking is reserved for the brave and delivery boys(maybe this is a bit of a generalization), but it just seems to be the case).  But then I had an epipahany! End of high school this year+college acceptance= graduation gift!  So I thought I would give my parents a helping hand to my parents.  And what better gift than the awesome Linus Bikes.

Basically just the most awesome bike known to America.  Check out some photo’s and tell me what you think.

My life is complete!!!

Gypsy & the cat


        I know many have already heard about Gypsy & The Cat, but I’m here to remind you of how cool they are.  Here’s why I think their cool.  First off their an alternative pop duo, Xavier Bacash & Lionel Towers.  Personally I don’t know a lot of alternative pop duo’s(but if you do by all means send some).  Their origins are from down under Australia.  The London label Young& lost, who responsible for artists such as Bombay Bicycle Club (check earlier posts for more info).  They signed the duo and on June 21st their debut album Time to wonder hits the music shelves.  definitely check these guys out.  Their translucent melodies and soothing voices makes their music unique.  Here are some of my favorite two songs from them:
