empire state

am still feeling really rough today but thankfully my boss has a day off today and i have been able to take it easy today. am really not up to concentrating or doing anything today.

i went out last night and met some friends in a bar in clerkenwell and it was good to see everyone after quite a while.

am going to cycle to the gym tomorrow and see if i can sweat out this cold. either that or i will just pass out on my way there and be killed when a truck runs over my unconscious body laying in the middle of the road. we shall see how it goes but i hope i don't get killed in the next couple of days.

actually now that its cold and shit weather i only see the hardcore cyclists going round regents park. last week i saw some guy riding a beautiful time trial bike with a deep rim at the front and a solid Zipp disc on the back wheel. i couldn't quite see manufacturer but it looked wicked and something like a felt or cervelo or pinarello. if i win the lottery i am going to spend a fortune on a nice bike. not to ride it but just to look at it.

today i have mostly been listening to some guilty pleasures. music that i wouldn't normally tell people i know, that i listen to. my spotify playlist today has included r.kelly, lil wayne, DMX, Flo Rida, Baby, Clipse, Nas and eminem.

anyways yesterday at the bar i was at they played jay z - empire state of mind, and it is wicked. this isn't a guilty pleasure. its genuinely good and not just because it has the fantastically good looking alicia keys in it.
