My List #1

Lipton Yellow Label Tea

There is this book circulating Blog directories by some lady who is not important, but basically it says that readers don't want to hear about what you had for lunch or breakfast or something like that

But I think people care--- ok maybe not, maybe thats why I have no followers

I don't talk about crazy sh*t that happens to me, I'm not funny, I don't talk about crude things like me pooping (because actually girls don't poop, its a fact), oh yeah, and I don't share steamy stories about hookups with either sex, because, well... lets be honest... it never happens.

So, if I want to talk about my obsession with Lipton Yellow Label tea, then I will talk about it.

OR... I can talk about the guy that works out at my gym and how he looks like a guru.. a crazy jump-roping guru fiend.. who wears Lakers workout pants and jumps so ferociously his beard bounces up and down to the same rhythm.

I can really write about anything I want.

But right now I want to talk about another thing that is on my life list (remember I got to check one off yesterday because I got to see LA Sol play!)

This one has been on my list for a much shorter time, and it still continues to be there...

I want a 1971 Honda CB 100 motorcycle

so bad!

Isn't it beautiful?

I will make this #1 on my list... and maybe as this blog continues I will add to the list... I know I have a bunch of other random things to add.

*Note: Numbers are not in order of accomplishment or priority of any sort, they are only numbered to make a list, thus #1 is simply just #1.

So why do I want this beautiful piece of machinery? 

I have no idea.

To tell you the truth I originally found it while being a creeper and reading every one of Leisha Hailey's interviews... in one of them she talks about her best purchase, and this was it.

To continue on, I am pretty sure she doesn't even own one of these anymore... she said it was her first motorcycle she bought and then when they did a documentary of Uh Huh Her, her and Cam rode around on a different motorcycle.. so I am sure this model is history for her.

But not me.

I fell in love the second I saw it.

And I haven't dropped the dream since.

I think there are several factors that draw me to this purchase: 

a) the idea of the wind whipping at my body ( am obsessed already with driving with my windows down in my car)

b) the idea of being able to go anywhere, just zipping around

c) the idea of enjoying the LA weather just a little more than I already do, sunnnnshine.

d) my mom absolutely swears she will never let me buy one, oh how I hate authority

e) the thrill of owning a motorcycle

f) its just so cute!

g) badass biker girl... need I say more

I) the feeling of living on the edge, but also doing something you have always wanted to do, and not worrying about the outcome, because life is short.

j) yeah life is short, and yeah motorcycles are dangerous, but I would much rather make my life shorter on a motorcycle than be 80 years old and wishing I had followed my dreams.

I can go on... but I feel that these make up my core beliefs in one day owning this superbly built, "Candy Apple Red" machine.

So one day in the future, if you see one of these babies fly past you on PCH... yes, that was me.
