Scenes from the Ticker Tape Parade 

I get asked all the time “Why do you do it?” and I have to admit it’s a fair question.

Riding your bike for 20+ hours a week (and I am trying to be honest here) can be really horrible sometimes. In the moments of self pity (or is it weakness?), when you rub you sore legs in the thick predawn morning, the days you leave the office late and don’t get off the bike until midnight, shivering and starving, the lunches replaced with protien, the shakes traded for salads. 

The truth of it is that the process of getting better is a harrowing and dark one but it is in those times of physical and mental darkness that you have to remind yourself just how sweet the reality of being better is. 

So why do I do it? Because I wouldn’t know who I was if I didn’t.

“This cold is breaking us apart” the girl whispered just loud enough to see her words form into a cloud and float slowly across that frozen lake to ruffle the boy’s two month old haircut.

Honestly, sometimes I think I go snowboarding just so I can eat chili and drink a beer at lunch.

WICKED GAMES - THE WEEKND COVER 

It was about a year ago that I had lunch with Aaron at The Meatball Shop, he was hungry to work more and I had recently been forced out of my role at Image Source. Well a lot has changed in a year and we finally got the chance to work together on a #one_take. See the lovely (and talented!!) Bettina Chin and me take on my favorite Weeknd song. Thanks again Aaron, my little project has never looked so pro!

Had a great weekend with Papa Nord, co-founder of the Nord brothers and the genesis of our obsessive tendencies.
