Chrysler Crossfire

By Anonymous -
Cool retro car from early 2000s. I still remember Celine Dion doing the commercial...although I absolutely despise Celine, I really thought her rendition of "I drove all night" really suited the Crossfire. It's such a brilliant take on a car. I mean check out that totally useless fastback boot...not wide enough to put in anything but a pair of skis, it's nothing but retro cool in design. This car is the empitomy of where design had taken front stage in front of function and it's resulted in a lovely sports tourer that can now be had quite cheaply. I will not be surprised if I end up with one of these down the track...

Yes, it's going to be even harder than composing that intricate essay about the complexities of authoritarian versus facilitating approaches in the context of 21st century educational leadership. It's even going to be harder than writing that poem for my wedding speech. But I must do it. It has to be done. It will be done. Quite a while ago I started riding motorcycles.

But she doesn't, because that's how awesome she is. Against the wishes of everyone around me, it would have appeared that one day I just decided to ride and that was that. But this is not so. As I was growing up, sneakily and

Just tonight in the throws of settling my four and five-year-old children to bed, I did what most responsible parents do. I put on a few dubstep songs. There's nothing quite like a Skrillex song to settle young kids I find. After defusing the disapproving looks and comments from my darling wife, I wanted to start calming the mood for real, so I changed the beat to a bit of Chemical Brothers. Soon enough it was way past bed time and I started to search for something a bit more soothing.    I'm not too sure why the next thing happened. You see, my brain sometimes likes to take me to places I haven't been to for a while, just to jog the memories, to reach deep deep down into the bucket and pull something out that reinvigorates my life and reminds me how awesome it was to be young.  On this particular occasion we (my brain and I) went back to a time, in 1998, when I had some trouble getting to sleep for quite some time during my late adolescents. Nothing drastic, but it went o
