So, I figured I'd make this because a lot of people have conflicting views and sometimes it's unnecessary to spend hours fighting over the internet on a forum. Just agree to disagree and continue the love. If you feel like you've been reading too many negative things, just come here and say something nice.
Love!!!
(and, no, I am not a hippy, but I'm ready to hear your accusations.)

Posibucks were fake money with a picture of our principal or assistant principal at Carnegie Jr. High that can be used to buy tickets to dances, basketball shows or hall passes. Yay early 90s currency laundering in public schools.
at last night's sexxxed up sunday ride, we were lamenting the absence of bents throughout the night. We even entertained the thought of riding to phoenix to meet up with him but decided that we all had other shit to do during the week
Ahh, Chlo, I will miss your real birfday ride (because I am doing this). But I will see you at the pillowfight -- and give you an extra hard birfday pillow hit.
"Drunk of the week?
That's not special.
Everyone is drunk here every week. Everyone except Annie.
I thought it would be Douche of the week and by Douche I mean Darling.
I <3 Syoma and that's why I hijacked the "Who is this guy thread".
Lots of old farts here talk about the good ole days. Well... we need to pay some respect to the new peeps too. Like Handbone, Graham, Chyna etc...
"I enjoy reading your posts, Imcynna, because they seem to be, on the whole positive, and sometimes really constructive. You've got thick skin, and you don't lash out at people. I like that.
Douchebags go to the douchebag thread!!! This is a positive thread! And that picture is not positive! It is sad! He is dehydrated!! And telling people what to do it not positive!! So I will stop.
But I still love everyone.
There is good in every Rida.

Last night a person came up to me unprovoked and unannounced and gave me $40 cash to make good on his debt to the community and Steveo4 for lifting beer from Vons the night of the Grateful dead ride. I just want to put it out there that even those that are sometimes seen as a bad influence or bad element in the community have a good side and are able to mend their ways. My confidence is restored in humanzz if for just our own community.... Thank you sir I look forward to seeing all of us continue to ride and spread this sanctuary of love we call Midnight Ridazz.
++REMINDER +++++
Pillow fighting is for FUN.
PLEASE do not hit hard.
I stopped last time because I got injured.
pillow kisses please.
and more hugging and rolling around on the ground.

i actually have the movie on my table right now.. great movie when he fucks those guys up oh my. hahah i love imarobot.. i go to some clubs now and then an those guys all ways come out.
Even though the guys headwrap was pretty hilarious in the second ROFLCOPTER video and it was hilarious that he fell off the bed and the director said "NO GOOD", I didn't really like it. She sounded like she was in horrific pain. D: The other girl just sounded funny.
i won a shwayze backpack and a life time supply of blunt wraps and their cd from a drawing i entered in huntington beach for the us open of surfing hahaha
they're actually pretty dope. i like it. for some strange reason it reminds me a little of modest mouse... i think modest mouse has taken a page out of their book because i remember them being a lot more mellow and not as experimental.
FOR THE SAKE OF POSITIVITY AND ENLIGHTENMENT I WANT TO SHARE THIS EXPERIENCE I POSTED ON THE WPH THREAD THAT HAS SOME AWESOME REVELATION AND INTUITION. INTUITION WAS PRESENT FROM THE START....
I just got hit by a car on my way to WPH...
IM OKAY THOUGH...
intuition is something im more aware of lately. i ignored mine
today.i didnt listen to it like i haven't in the past. but the amazing thing is that this time it was a strong one i ignored it and suffered the concequences. thank god im okay. we'll see in the morning but i think i'll be fine.
i have been doing wolfpack again for some weeks now and was going on my 4th in a 5week period coz i missed one 2mondays ago (so my 14th or 15th ride total since the start of WPH)... I had a feeling, a bad feeling about riding tonight just b4 leaving and i had it again just after one block of riding into this journey to the meeting point, just one block from my house and 30 seconds later (4 blocks away from home on council and alexandria... i get hit by a car making an improvised right turn way over on the left. i decided to pass her on the right (something i never do because i can always turn left with the car if it it just so happens they are turning left...that way i can slow down into a left turn and be more successfull at slowing and turning with them but i thought she was going to turn left (on the right you don't really see it coming til it's too late) and she fucking hit me dead center on the left side n and left crank section and thew me to the ground and i skidded 5 feet into the intersection and infront of the car into a tumble to a stop. i scraped myself a bit and feel a bit sore but did not hit my head just my chin with the bike or the ground and have bump on my chin and some scraps and bruises with a lil backpain. . im a lil banged up and the worst thing is that i bent my handlebars and deraileur hanger and losened my rear wheel hub and my headset with the impact. other than that the bike is okay. and im okay and im going to be okay. i took her dl number, plates, vin number and her insurance info. im gonna go get checked out tomorrow and call her insurance. fucking drivers need to fucking signal always. we are trying to read them and and be aprehensive of their fucking unpredictable moves all the fucking time but for fucking sakes please fucking signal even if it's last minute and or improvised.... godammnit!!!! be careful, oh and i was not wearing a helmet but was lucky to have cushioned the fall the right way and only bumped my chin with my bike arm, knee or frame, not sure but it was not the ground, my head was spared of impact and am lucky but please let's all wear helmets as much as possible. i learned my lesson tonight. thank got im okay. watch for cars that are dead center in the middle of an intersection undecided about a turn. their easy to spot if you are being apprehensive... just read them well and you will be successful. listen to the force.... listen to the intuition within you. the seve chakras of the earth are connected to the seven chakras of your body. connect to them like i have been. mother earth (ghaya) loves you already and wants to protect you because you and i and everyone whom primarily rides a bike and not a car.... ghaya, mother earth. she love syou and protects you always. listen to that intuition. i know you all have it. be careful, be safe out there.
luv,
GOpez

correction:
seve - i meant 7: the seven chakras! the seven chakras of the earth are all connected to the seven on your body!
p.s. the extend of the damages are seen on my handlebars and my rear deraileur is bent. i only made an old scab on my left elbow bleed again. the rest is a car parking light plastic (rug-burn like) scrap/burn and a tiny rope burn on my right wrist from a friendship bracelet the girl im seeing and i got as a fun and cute symbol of your bond. that's about all the physical damage besides the bumps and soreness im experiencing. but goddamn i know how to fall now, it's amazing what reflexes and falling techniques we develope on these beautiful inventions that are human powered. balance, agility, time to correct and compensate for error is amazing and has improved with time. we are all amazing. all of us, especially us fast and ridazz who commute in traffic and messenger for a living. we are absolutely fucking amazing. we are a dying breed that is re-emerging with some young and old strong ridazz. we are the urban cowboys of these times... these are some signs of the times....
Oh god EddieGo Thank god you're okay. Heal up well! Oh man that sounds horrible. If you need anything, let us know, I'm glad you posted, it is very positive you're okay.
Hahahaha. More to come... I've just gotta upload them. I swear we did like 8 all at once... I'm usually quiet in the videos though. She's the funny one. :P
From Conscious Choice Magizine:
"I love your optimism".
"Thank you. I am tremendously optimistic. I feel strongly that there is so much doubt, fear, frustration, anger, depression and greed in the world that we no longer need to feel those emotions anymore. There are enough people feeling those emotions. We need volunteers who are ready and willing to feel good all of the time and to be optimistic. To laugh. To have fun. To be in love with everything. To appreciate beauty. We need more of those kinds of people."

I just took the bus to Trader Joe's and back and I was surprised by how many people I saw out on the streets on their bikes. No group rides, just individuals getting around town. And this is Koreatown to 3rd/La Brea, not Silverlake. A very encouraging sight!
IT IS TRULY AMAZING, PEOPLE TRIP ON THE BUS, WHEN I HOLLER THE RIDAS NAME OUT LOAD ( YOU COULD SCREAM I SCREAM, AND NOBODY OUTSIDE THE THE BUS COULD HEAR YOU )

I don't get mad and I don't get annoyed because it's my fault for not picking a better screen name. But get this: sometimes I'll be having an intense or serious discussion with somebody and he or she will call me "PC" and I'll have a weird vertiginous moment, just for a moment. Because it's like the person is talking to somebody else and I'm impersonating that somebody. PC is a screen name and a persona, and not one that I fully inhabit.
Tough times for ridazz. I wanna hear some positive words! I'm tired of reading/ seeing negativity! Someone say something about how awesome someone you met on a ride was. Or which part of a ride you thought was the shit. Something cool! :)
<3
I'm tired of hearing about stolen bikes, cops, arrests, tickets, fights, accidents, knee problems, money, road rage, mean cars, broken things, lost things, shit. I want to be naive, ignorant, and unknowing, and only think about feet to pedals and hands on handlebars. All this other crap sucks. Damn.
A neuron walks into a bar. After a few drinks, he decides he's done and wants to go home. He asks the bartender, "How much?" to which the bartender replies, "For you, no charge."

I've been hearing that a lot lately. I'll be riding next to someone and they'll mention seeing a shooting star. I always miss it. It's happened at least 5 times now. :(
Thank you to everyone who spoke up to their friends about the food fight. It is really important we call each other out on issues that we feel strongly about. i'm on the food fight side because i have radical views about what food is and still love that you called me out. you are all awesome!
The food fight was a good compromise. I thought it was going to be throwing crap like meat and cheese and prezzels. The only things I saw being thrown around was condomints like catsup and musturd. Good call on the musturd! Man shit stunk!
"I would like to express my thanks, to all of you, both on and off this board that have been so kind, encouraging and helpful, both in the last 24 hrs as well is in the coming period of time.
I probably wouldn't still be in LA if not for the wonderful community that has flowered here. I probably wouldn't be making the art that I am, or working on the writing I'm working on. I probably wouldn't have the love that I feel in my heart for all of you, regardless of this issue. I'd also probably (well, maybe) not be so broke... oh well, I'll take being a pauper who is richer than any prince when it comes to friendships and community, than a rich loner any day.
Thank you all so much."
I enjoy the little things. I enjoyed the cliche of the girls in the bathroom smoking at school today. I enjoyed the song from Friday being blasted from a car at a stop light. I enjoyed riding hard and making a sharp turn.
I enjoy being. Have you ever just been? It is hard to just be. I try really hard every once in a while to just be, and it is nice. I really like to just be.
i slept for 14 hours today. i feel like a sloth. the day totally made up for it though... such a beautiful day. if i had a girl, today would be a perfect day for a picnic!
Didn't have a camera on me, but I just saw a guy riding a bike near Wilshire and Western with an amazing light set up. The whole bike was lit with LEDs. The frame, fork, handlebars, wheels. There was even a light obelisk coming up from a rear rack. SO. TIGHT.

Ridazz Roulette!

I'm talking to you Mr. Borfo and Ms. Chynna!

Can't wait to ride on the wessonside tonight. that's a positive thing right?
MORE LOVE for Douchebags!

i love monchichi's and the sham-wow

Roadblock's probably going to kill me, but....
i successfully and safely high fived the dancing panda while on my bike at Crank Mob on saturday.
Oh and it made me happy this morning to turn on the TV and magically find DOUG.
Just say NOM.
