justification

so, this, apparently, is a defining moment. it is the moment i start blogging. why i chose this moment is not clear. do i have anything worthwhile to say? probably not. but things need to be said and said they will be. firstly, what am i going to bitch and moan about? bikes, music, detroit, and, most importantly, myself, not necessarily in that order.  secondly, i owe you nothing, so fuck off!

so, hollywood comes to detroit. like a vampire. sucking the last vital juices from our once proud metropolis. thanks to former canadian child star/current michigan governor jennifer granholm, the film industry has swooped in to pick the bones of the local economy. reason? a 40% rebate. how can i get that deal? short answer, i can't. fuck you, bitch! the result is that it is not uncommon to encounter multiple shoots on my daily commute around the city. today, for example, the local hippie/vegan cafe has been descended upon by industry locusts. ellen page was ahead of me in line. as you have probably gathered, i was less than impressed. perhaps if they had some freelance work, i might be a little more welcoming.
