  • Having. A babyface is kinda weird. 20 year olds talk to me like i had any idea what they are talking about. I’m always like: haha yeah no, i’m actually old.
    The other day i was standing in line and there was a family behind me. The mom did some Smalltalk with me and just for the fact that they had kids, i talked to her like i would to an old person. Like she was giving me some weird advice for some reason. Then i put one and one together and realised that they had a child when they were 20 and he was now 10-ish and they are actually 10 years younger than me.






  • I’m super into mountain biking, and never bought a new bike in my life. The last one i bought was the most expensive bike i ever owned by a long shot, it was practically new and it was like a third of what it would’ve been new. Dude who sold it said he likes it, but it was bad for climbing, because it was too heavy. He showed me his brand new bike. On the way home i thought: so the carbon bike with aluminium swing arm is too heavy? So i looked up his new bike, which was like £8000-£9000 pounds and was roughly 600 grams lighter than the bike i bought off him. Bike prices might be insane, but i often feel like it’s the people’s own fault. Cyclists buy absolutely everything no matter the cost it seems.
    My friend told me that his boss saw my ebike when i bought some bread and had to get one himself. He’s an out of shape baker, and he bought himself a 10k e-ountain bike. That’s more than i paid for my ebike, my downhill bike and the enduro i ride almost daily.




  • In middle school i had this game where i would look at the teacher when he was talking and see how long i could sit there without listening. I thought that’s the kind of thing everyone did. I went to a new school and i was way ahead in math foe example, so i would spend most of the time just not paying attention at all. I’m not joking when i blinked once and suddenly i didn’t recognise anything on the whiteboard. I was like: holy shit, what happened, how long was i gone?
