  1. The Oliver Spencer store in Toronto is now open. It is right beside the Fred Perry store on Queen near Ossington. Looks great and was featured on Esquire online. Can't wait to check out some of the complimentary brands they have too. Wouldn't mind getting my company discount on some Quoddy's thats for sure.

    Abused this many times. Nothing like Quoddy's at cost.

  2. I wanna do ss.v5. Whomever is organizing, please send me a private message about it when the time comes!

    I'm pretty excited to e-stalk someone and make a dope, fucking package. (3)

    It will more than likely include local tranny ads, crows zero stuff, emma watson, graphic novels and canadian/filipino goods. IE: Turon with banana ketchup and maple syrup.

  3. tedshredding I think will only work when below certain velocities, and within certain grades. I can image that trying that maneuver at high speeds on a downhill 25 degre angle would cause you to flip over your handlebars... To say nothing of friction heat melting your shoes etc.

    Crazy.

  4. I'm not surprised that I've been riding fixed for 3 years without a brake and haven't had a single accident yet. My friends say I ride fairly aggressive even amongst heavy traffic - it's more or less how comfortable you are with your stopping power and your legs. A couple months ago a friend of mine threw a break on my bike because he wanted me to get home safe and I nearly killed myself because I used that thing. Rode another week with it and just didn't feel comfortable with it so I took it off.

    Personally, I can stop faster/smoother/more comfortably with skip stops and leg power than I can with brakes. I almost never skid unless I'm bombing down a hill because skip stopping down hills is not a good idea. Once you've been riding for long enough, you'll learn not to put yourself into a situation where you can potentially get hurt. Being doored is easily preventable so long as you're aware of what's ahead of you and people don't have heavily tinted windows.

    I mean there's always the chance some asshole won't see you, switch lanes and hit you but having a break wouldn't prevent that either.

  5. i think it's shitty for people to say 'dude that was dumb you shouldn't have got tattoos of the names.'

    if you haven't been in the same situation you can't presume you would have acted more rationally, nevermind with thought to girls you'd be hooking up with in the future, cause i'm sure that's the first thing on everybody's mind when they find out their significant other secretly had two abortions.

    i think fruit was trying to say something more along the lines of the act being "dumb" no matter the emotion or other factors that cause him to get the tat. a "dumb" act is a "dumb" act, even everyone in the world would react the same way.. (insert any other word for dumb.. e.g. dangerous, illogical, smart, wise, etc.)

    fruit, if i'm wrong correct me, as i don't speak for you. and if i am wrong, then at least i added my two cents about what i took from your statement.

    For whatever reason, I did take a few moments to rethink my reasoning for getting the tattoo. I, once again, came to the conclusion that I did it for myself -- as with all of my other ink. To me, it's all personal meaning and regardless of the feedback I've received online and from real life friends alike (negative and positive), I still know I got it for myself. As much as everyone is welcome to their own opinion, the only one I'm really going to take seriously about that is my own.

    That being said, I appreciate everyone's words and messages. Stay up. =)

  6. let me get this straight, you wanted two kids at 21? smh.

    You're assuming too much from what I posted. Wanting to have kids and being put in a certain position and not even having a say in a certain position are all completely different things.

    i have no problem with people getting tattoos for tribute/memorial whatever. someone dies, kid is born, etc.

    that being said, am i the only one who finds it pretty weird to tattoo the names of kids you didn't have? i mean, you said you didn't notice it admitting she likely aborted pretty early. so not even like they were stillborn or anything

    Those are kids I WOULD have if I had any say in the matter. Maybe you find it weird but I don't think you can even begin to comprehend (and it's obvious by your response) why I got that tattoo or what I experienced.

    but everyone that sees you with your shirt off is going to ask about those two names. I understand feeling fucked up over two abortions you didn't know about, but I wouldn't want to have to tell every chick I fuck with about that.

    I've got a fair amount of work on my body and surprisingly enough, I don't really enjoy talking about their significance with just anyone -- especially if it was some random hook-up. "Long story" and "I'll tell you another time" or just smiling and shrugging do the trick. =)

    Also, thanks to the people who sent me detailed PM's. I wasn't expecting that at all.

  7. had one major, life changing break up:

    met this awesome chick who helped me define who i am today. in retrospect, i don't think i would even know about sufu if it wasn't for her. initially, she got me interested in sneakers. jawnz soon followed.

    either way, we hit it off the first time we met. initially started as a fwb thing which eventually lead to both of us catching feelings. i really liked her, she loved me. we went on and off for about 4 years. lots of me ignoring her and her being too needy and sex. we never officially 'dated' but it was just something we assumed. didn't see other people -- i just had some thing about not liking the term bf/gf.

    anyway, a while after the final 'break up', she calls me crying and tells me she has to tell me something. shits eating her up inside and she had to let it out. ends up she got pregnant twice and aborted both of them. she said one was a boy, the other a girl. didn't let me know, didn't consult me, didn't say jack shit. told me nearly a year after the second abortion. looking back, i wonder how i missed it but i guess with technology nowadays you can catch that much earlier.

    that shit fucked me up hard. quit my job, started smoking heavily, doing lots of drugs, drinking alot. i've never cried so hard in my entire life. ever. it is also a big reason why i don't sleep often. as soon as i get thinking about that, i feel so helpless/useless and can't sleep(not sleeping tonight obviously). i've always talked with friends what i'd want to name my kids if i had a boy or a girl and it's a little cliche but to me, getting a tattoo is very therapeutic. i got the boy(elijah) name and girl name(faith) tattoo'd on my ribs as a reminder/tribute/memorial.

    i'm still not over that entire issue. i don't think i'm ever going to "get over" it. i don't want to.

    i'm 23 now. she told me when i was 21. tanx for reading my sob story, brohymns.
