I was born!… Thanks Mom and Dad. I will be spending my day riding my scooter, eating Chuck E. Cheese pizza (somethings never change even when you get older) and anticipating happy birthday funny phone calls. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me!

Some shirts I just recently did for RelientK’s fall monster themed tour called “The Uncle Fest Tour”.

I love getting new stuff even if it is old stuff.

Today is the first day that I haven’t felt sick all week. Most of my week has been spent between sleeping, sneezing, blowing my nose or coughing. This morning I felt great so I got my Vespa out, shot my friend Aaron a text to meet me me at Ugly mugs for coffee and off I went. Aaron gave me a book he just finished reading called Sex God (by Rob Bell), at some point I actually owned this book but lent it out to someone so I never got a chance to read it.

After an hour or so and some good conversation about the recent political debates we decided to go check out our friends Sarah and Beth’s garage sale. When we got there they had already begun packing up and putting everything into the throw away/donate pile. After browsing through what they had left I scored a sweet fanny pack (I know what you are thinking, fanny pack?… just think of it as a small backpack for my wallet and iPhone. Good for scooter rides.), “the Juliana Theories” first album, and a “Seven Day Jesus” album. We hung out there for a while and then headed home.

Got to love sweet finds on Saturday mornings!

So in my attempted to “Go Green” (Going green is what people do to make themselves feel better while actually doing nothing, other than buying a T-shirt or putting a sticker on there car that makes there claim of carbon freedom)… I got a Vespa!

Well thats a load of crap, what really happened is that one day while I was at Fido having a meeting with my buddy Chad about the old P is for Panda, I got a unexpected call from my friend Colleen. A few months back I had entertained the thought of buying Colleens vintage 1961 Vespa VNB from here, but other than talk nothing really happened. So when I got a call from her asking me if I wanted it, I totally jumped at the chance. I have always wanted a Vespa but never really had a chance to get one. ot only did I get one, I got the exact one I wanted… a sweet vintage vespa!

Last sunday I got a chance to join Ethan and a couple of my buds from East Side Scooters on a group ride through Nashville. I would like to say I went on the whole ride but just as I was getting started my carburetor started to leak. Got to love old scooters but they are a lot of work and upkeep to make sure they run well. After a little carb check I was back in action, scooter is running great and I’ve spent a little over 10 bucks on gas this month which makes my scooter “Green” as hell…. Apparently scooters are the new iPhone!
