as the weather turns colder i probably won't be riding my bike as much anymore, but i think i will still ride it until there's snow and ice on the ground. i mean once i get going the cold subsides and i usually break a sweat. so in honor of my bike i have some wonderful biking tips for you. and some reasons why i think biking is the best form of transportation in the city. #1 always brake with the back brake first. i learned this one the hard way. i think it was my first and only bike reck (at least the only one i remember). i just got a new bike and was going on a ride with one of my friends. i broke with the front break first and flipped over the top. learned my lesson. back first. although my back break is wearing out so i have to pay attention. #2 try to stay on streets friendly to bikers some streets have bike lanes. find them and remember them. if possible only use them. so when i'm riding i often pray because i'm scared people will hit me when

~Cherokee Indian Proverb so i have 3 interviews set-up for this week...so far. another one is pending. lately i've been trying to catch myself when i'm not focusing on the current moment. and i'm realizing it's definitely going to be essential this week. i need to prepare and focus on one interview at a time (they're all pretty different). and i can't start getting excited and planning the future. as i've learned: an interview doesn't mean i'm getting the job. i think about staying in the moment and enjoying each moment in life a lot so i can stay more positive. i was walking tonight and decided i would call them my sprinkles in life. who doesn't like sprinkles? i mean they don't have much taste and they're so pretty. that's why funfetti cake is so popular. ...and i like colors too. lots of them i started feeling i was dwelling in the past a little with my thoughts. i mean things change, people change, it's all
