jamesnord:

When I saw these two this morning I slowed down to stay behind. Her Dad was just barely holding her shoulder, enough to reassure her but not enough to impede her.

We pulled up at a light and I mentioned how well she was doing and said it would be no time before she was flying past me. The girl looked up proud, sizing me up, agreeing that, yes she would be beating me in no time.

Her Dad said she had only been riding for a week and asked if I remembered the freedom that being able to ride a bike brought you as a child.

“Remember it?” I laughed “I have been trying to top it for the last 25 years”

“Find anything?” he asked

“Not yet, not yet”

For an Album, Adrienne Rich.:

presidents:

Our story isn’t a file of photographs faces laughing under green leaves or snowlit doorways, on the verge of driving away, our story is not about women victoriously perched on the one sunny day of the conference, nor lovers displaying love:

Our story is of moments when even slow motion moved too fast for the shutter of the camera: words that blew our lives apart, like so, eyes that cut and caught each other, mime of the operating room where gas and knives quote each other moments before the telephone starts ringing: our story is how still we stood, how fast.

“I was publicly criticized for wearing sneakers at events while all other women were wearing high heels. No one cares about the fact that I sprained my ankle and was in pain. I mean, I DO wear these things for the photos and totally understand that a pretty dress looks better in high heels. But if I meet my fans afterwards I throw these things away and put on sneakers. I don’t want be in pain while signing autographs and some people in Hollywood just don’t seem to understand that. They’re nagging about the way I dress because I’m not doing what they expect me to do… But life is about so much more than just looks.”

“Always have too many things to do. Too many books to read. Too many places to see. Too many stories to write. It is a sad day when you wake up with nothing else to do, and the question on your lips, “What now?””

mypantalones:

I discover new brands that pique my interest quite frequently, but it isn’t often that I find a brand that has me completely sold before I ever even see the clothing in person. RPMWEST is one of those rare companies.

RPMWEST makes a very simple product in a very simple manner; the jeans that RPMWEST produces are made with high quality Japanese selvedge denim, constructed in America. There aren’t any bells and whistles; there are no gimmicks. It’s quality denim, made in America, and it only costs $95. That’s what sold me.

It’s apparent that the jeans are of a high quality, but the pricing and delivery method is what really makes them stand out. Once RPMWEST launches from their Kickstarter in a few weeks, they will send three pairs of denim to whomever pre-ordered a pair of jeans. You try the three pairs on, and you keep whichever one you like the best. RPMWEST has two cuts (slim straight and new classic), and you get to try on three sizes of whichever cut you choose. When you decide which fits the best, you send the other two back free of charge. You get the wholesale price of $95, and you make sure that you get the right fit.

I’ve never heard of any online business plan that allows you to try jeans, a garment that I always have trouble finding in a suitable fit, in such a flexible situation. RPMWEST’s model seems to alleviate that problem quite a bit for guys like me. As of right now, it’s all pros and no cons for RPMWEST on my list. I’ll be awaiting my pairs to try on in the coming weeks. If you want to do the same, you can pre-order on their Kickstarter.
