About Babs

She was there when I started and there when I had to hang up my cleats. She was my friend and I miss her. She may not have been the greatest of bartenders but I like to think that somewhere in heaven an angel is waiting entirely too long for his next drink.

Lessons for a young bikemessenger part one

At least once a year someone, perhaps another bike messenger or perhaps some other that you like and care for will die,

After a time you think you've learned to deal with but as you get older well.............

About Anchorage

Anchorage is always in a state of becoming, on the verge of becoming this really cool really groovy place that they would talk about as the beats and the hippies who came afterwards would talk of San Fransisco. Where the art, literary,music, or whatever scene exploded but somehow it never quite happened.

A bike messenger thing

So I heard this old song and I'm like, yeah that's it the spirit of the thing and all
It was Summer broke ass Summer but the lucky ones learned something those lucky few learned something about us that we are that passion that thing in our very souls and  when we choose to give of our selves well it is just ..........  I had to resign, why? That would be tellingBe seeing you.

Can you go back to nomal?

I don't really know 'cause that normal stuff was so very far from my reality but I'm hopin' I really 'em because my normal might not work with your normal "I AM MESSENGER AND i KNOW HOW TO DIE". Did I mention that I'm from Spenard and If you fuck with me I will KILL YOU! This force that I an has been unleashed, May GOD have mercy  on your souls.

You a bike mressenger, right?

There is sympathy for some but none for you

Elliot, Freddy,Bill, Mark Lee, Grumpy, Tommy and all the others whose names I can't remember

I miss you like all the others and this song is for you my brothers. I hope to be worthy to pass on your wit and wisdom to the young people.

Any bikemessenger worth his/her salt can do this

Any time anywhere I can........

it is our nature it is what God has made us to be.We can "Kick out the Jams Motherfucker!". When something needs to go from point A to point B we are the ones that make it happen because we can kick out the jams.Thank you for that Lord.It might not be a skill of use now, but when all your texty internet bullshit breaks down,,,"Dam it! son I'm seventy freakin' years old and I managed to bunny-hop that radioactive mutant." Kick out the jams

Where do bike messengers go when they die

Fuck if I know but I like to think........

'cause we done our time in Hell.

My day?

It was wrong and it was right at the same time kind of like this just all fucked up.

When I rode the streets off this town

I always tried to wear all black, cause SSDD

You were a bright shining star on Maui.

I miss you darling like all the others but you get your own song. cause it's too late to say what I should have said.

I now fear the prospect of death

Back in the day it would have been fast and awful, now more likely it will be slow and awful.

Tommy I miss you like all the others, this song is for you my brother.

If ever there was a true friend to the Anchorage bike messenger, someone who "got it" without ever having been a messenger themselves it was Tommy Richards jr..I miss you, my brother

Retirerment is a joke.

Not a funny one but......and still you long to join the dance once again. you might loose the use of your left arm, you might even die but the dance it calls to you, to your very soul. "come on little stranger/ seduce me once again................."
or kill me .

Can't a Motherfucker get no respect up here?

Aint one goddam motherfuckin' word about the farthest north American bike messenger in any of this shit, not like I don't know you fuckers, not like after fourteen years on the road here I might rate at least a mention? Fuck you guys I'm goin' club hoppin' with the joker. Just kidding, much love and respect...still what 'em I chopped liver?

Food is fuel

It's here, it's tasty.I can eat it now, well sign me up and give me some..... because at least I know the rat I'm getting.

You ask me and I tell you

That's who I am I am messenger and I know how to die but not today not like this,....

Remembered your name..

evidently you've forgotten mine. But that's okay, I lived up to the code and honor was served.
