montreal, downtown, 2005
next to this wall, there were bikers. some were selling metal trinkets. it was remarkable for it was such a variety of bikes, sports, and… the other kind (you know, big leaser seats). they were loud, and it was cool. we passed by this place twice, and i took this composite (vertical) on the 2nd walk.
in other news, i found my life’s goal. before i tell you what it is, read this joke:
A tourist was admiring the necklace worn by a local Indian.
“What is it made of?” she asked.
“Alligator’s teeth,” the Indian replied.
“I suppose,” she said patronizingly, “that they mean as much to you as pearls do to us.”
“Oh no,” he objected. “Anybody can open an oyster.”
so, my goal in life is to hunt and kill a real alligator/crocodile, get its biggest tooth, and carve myself a pretty trinket for a necklace. the reason is … i don’t mind pearls. but they are not cool. alligator teeth on the other hand are cool. except, they are not that pretty. having someone else do this for me is … lame. and doing it on my own is connected to such a great amount of implications, all of which i don’t mind (travel, indepdendence, strength of character, braveness, creativity and ability to carve, sense of style in 3d).
so, there you go.
