HTATBL 2008 recap.

December 31, 2008 by Stevil Kinevil

NBC's Brian Wilson is doing it, MTV is doing it, and nearly every magazine you can find on the newsstand is doing it. I think it might be time for How to Avoid The Bummer Life to do it as well.
Welcome ladies and gentlemen, young and old. Sit down and take a gander at 2008 as only we can bring (remember) it.

The art of the postcard.

December 28, 2008 by Stevil Kinevil

By now I'm sure you're all familiar with Post Secret. Well, if you weren't before, then you are now. It shines a spotlight not only on this sorely underrated form of communication, but on the postcard as a vessel for the unmentionable.

Monday is upon us, but that shouldn't bring us down.

December 21, 2008 by Stevil Kinevil

Hearing my plea and expressed concerns regarding my lack of free time, Bobo stepped up his game and snail mailed in a contribution.

This is not safe for work, or for children, and if you never leave your house or read the newspaper, could be considered offensive.
Don't say you weren't warned.
Now everybody dance.

Just in time for the end of cross season, and the beginning of Santa season.

You know the drill.
First go here, then go back here.

I have searched high and low, and finally found the gift that would properly show me your appreciation.

The taste is gonna moooove ya... First go here, and then go back here.

*Ah hell. I totally forgot to mention that today marks the 75th anniversary of prohibition being repealed, so after you buy your hat and scarf, you should go get totally banjaxed.*

I really only have genuine skill in my dreams.

I woke up at the crack of dawn on Thursday morning with the words flowing from my brain like so much water.

Last week completely derailed the fluidity that is The Bummer Life..

December 01, 2008 by Stevil Kinevil

So lets see if we can't get back on track, shall we? First of let's get down with a clip from Ben of Handsome Cycles fame, that should encourage us all to be more like the folks depicted therein;

Not only is Thanksgiving a time to give thanks, but it's also a time to offer thanks for what's given.

December 01, 2008 by Stevil Kinevil

Like giving thanks for this image that Barry sent;

I totally have a post for Monday put together..

November 30, 2008 by Stevil Kinevil

..I swear it, but Sunday consisted of a bunch of bike racing and a whole bunch more beer drinking.
Truth be told, I'm waiting on some photos to put the finishing touches on this one. Check back later on Monday. I'm sure I'll have it buttoned up by the time the headache wears off.
I totally blew it, but then again, there really is a first time for everything, isn't there?

Another business related blast from stage right.

November 24, 2008 by Stevil on walkabout

W.W.J.D.?
(I put that there cause this guys name is Jessee, but I think you know the answer. He'd fashion a disco ball out of a broken bathroom mirror and a deflated basketball, and GET DOWN.)

Now that you know, you can go back here.

This is gonna be the best Monday ever.

November 23, 2008 by Stevil Kinevil

I didn't leave the house for even a moment this weekend. I sat at the computer the entire time making new and amazing designs for Swobo's 2009 line of bikes. Fortunately, I had a little bit of help from my friends.
No longer are top tube pads just for establishing individuality, and protecting paint as well as the pilot's soft parts, but Sam figured out how they might be applied for the frame's structural integrety as well;

But Matt Case is in a very close second;

However Kurtz is coming in late with a stupendous eleventh hours entry of his own;

At this point, it's anybody's game.

I gotta stop the regularly scheduled broadcast.

November 21, 2008 by Stevil on walkabout

Kurtz inadvertently turned me on to the best website ever.
I mean besides all of those ones that have porn.

Go here to get a taste of the magic.

Ok, now get back to work.

I don't know if I'm coming or going.

November 20, 2008 by Stevil Kinevil

When it comes to organization, I'm a train wreck. There must be some way to maintain one's life in a more manageable fashion, but I'll be damned if I can figure it out.
Among all of the aspects of dysfunction and chaos that is my existence, keeping a handle on the veritable goldmine that are the daily submissions from readers is at the top of the list, and since Monday, that goldmine has yielded a vein of previously unprecedented proportions..

ITS ADVERTISING TIME!

November 19, 2008 by Stevil on walkabout

I'll go on record to say that I bombed around Portland the other week in my McCluhan, and it's like living in a comfy, comfy sleeping bag... that happened to smell of beer and defeat..
That was just mine though. I'm sure yours wont smell that way.

Now that we've cleared that up, you should go back here.
