John O'Connell, tumbleblogging from London.

40's, educated, cultured, green activist, geek, and motorcycle nut .... Into art, culture, philosophy, bikes, protesting about everything, linux computing, environmental issues, alternative fuels, minimalism, anti-consumerism, liberalism, screwing with the system and generally messing with your head. Oh, and cats.

Mine is a generation that circles the globe and searches for something we haven't tried before.
So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome.
Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience.
And if it hurts, you know what? ... It's probably worth it.

Good Weekend - Bad Weekend …

Ever had a weekend with a bit of both?

Friday - Bought some cool accessories for my ‘Chicago’ mountain bike, stripped and rebuilt it, got it just absolutely perfect.

Saturday - At Knebworth for the Sonisphere to see Placebo, Anthraz and Rammstein (see previous post). It was awesome, it was epic.

Returned home on the motorcycle at 2 a.m. and collapsed after a long day, a long ride.

Sunday - Woke, looked out my veranda window, to discover that while I’d been away, some skanker had nicked my now-perfect mountain bike from the garden.

So, if you’re around Kingston-Surbiton area of London, keep a look out for a white ‘Chicago’ mountain bike, with a few rust spots, and if you see it, let me now.
