I broke a 51 miler - on a BMX Bike in Chicago!
Hey you road bikers! I totally freaked out today, Saturday 3-21-09! I met up with my new old school bmx bike friend dude, - Mario, plan was to meet at the Oak Street Beach Lakefront. First, I went down North Ave from home in Wicker Park then went down Wells to look at Village Cycle. Then went down Division to ? down through Oak Street to the Lakefront and hung out and waited for my buddy at Oak Street Beach and freestyled a little. Then we met and talked, went down Michigan Ave through Ohio Street [?] to lockup at the Rock N Roll McDonald's. - I couldn't hang out and eat at the night here previously because I couldn't afford $10 for 1 hr parking just to eat a $4.19 Double Filet 'o Fish! So we looked at Sports Authority, then I ate a Tiramisu Torte or something at Rock N Roll McDonalds. Looked at Portillo's prices [they're ok!] then biked downtown then to Buckingham Fountain but it was under reconstruction. So we cruised through Navy Pier then back down to Oak Street Beach where I showed him some NASA Souvenoir Stickers that I got from Jacobs. My buddy wanted to go to Cubs Park but my ribs were hurting but we went and cruised there through LSD, then Fullerton, Clark, to Performance Bike [on Halsted & Diversey] then to Johhny Sprockets on Broadway then down Belmont to Clark[?] to Wrigley Field. I split from my buddy here then went down Addison to LSD all the way to Water Tower where I enjoyed looking through stores, I bought a watch, browsed through Macy's and Water Tower, and ate my own sandwich and soda that I brought with me. A cheap $1.60 total cost meal, and I enjoyed it hanging out and watching people eat at the Water Tower. Then walked down to see the high fashion stuff at Nordstroms, magazine browsed at Border's. Then I cruised home down Rush to Division to Wells to North Ave to Milwaukee to Division then Oakley home!
Well, I just put bike computers on my bmx bikes to get mileage data on them, AND I TOTALLY FREAKED THAT I DID 50.97 MILES! ON A BMX BIKE! THAT'S SOME MAJOR MILEAGE! My farthest road bike workout was 56 miles doing 6 laps at LSD! So 51 miles is freaking awesome on a bmx bike! Avg speed 11.3 mph, slow because I cruised sightseeing too!
It was a lovely day! I'm totally loving going around by my HOT BIKES! I got 9 bmx, 2 mtn, and 7 road bikes! A $30,000 bike collection!
Did you have a nice Saturday! ???

With that wig, you actually look like Bobby Lee's impersonation of Connie Chung.
Maybe it's the liquor talking, because I've been drinking heavily for the past 8 hours, but that was the funniest thing I've seen this month.
I laughed so hard I fell off my chair. I'm still trying to catch my breath
Also, red lipstick is a no-no. Especially with your coloring. You need to try the softer colors usually reserved for autumn. Avoid anything with gloss.
EDIT: Lip liner. You need lip liner. Real women don't just apply lip stick, there's a reason why we go first for the liner. It would be well worth your time, while you're loitering in my gender, to invest in a sit-down at the Clinique make up counter at Macy's.
EDIT again: Does anyone suspect that MyssaTX and Jesse69 are the same person?

Coldwine, I'd look better than you in a St John Skirt Suit!
That wig is my favorite hairstyle - the "BOB Hair!"
