What I really have been doing...

So, some people had inquired about what I have been doing, and I have come under accusations of "wasting my time"," having to much free time", "being boring", and "not going out and making anything of your life, you lazy bum!", all of which are entirely untrue and unfounded. I however, have not be entirely forthright with my explanations of what does occupy my time, and I feel the need to finally come clean about my activities in Edinburgh. This is what I have been doing:



That's right. This video, shot in Edinburgh, is of me. I have taken up the moniker of Danny Macaskill, and spend all my days doing awesome bike tricks. You may accuse me of not looking anything like the man in this video, but I can assure you we are the same person. I wanted to keep my totally rad alter ego a secret, as not to cause worry to anyone who may have concerns about me doing back flips off of trees on a bicycle, and as not to inspire jealously in my friends who wish they could be as awesome as me. Also, there is a still a bit of discrimination about guys who bike without seats that abounds in our modern society, despite the fact that we have a black president now. But I felt the need to free my conscious. Some secrets are just too hard to bear.

Seriously though, isn't this guy awesome? A good chunk of the video was shot on my campus, by buildings where I have class. My history lectures have yet to be interrupted by a gang of trick bikers however, but I figure it is only a matter of time before one of them does a 360 through a window into our class room or lecture hall (despite the fact that my classes are all on either the 4th or 8th floors).

Thanks to Jayson for originally showing this to me.
