Sorry for the long vacation from posting. In our absence too much fun was had only to be overshadowed by too many deaths for me to handle. I didn’t abandon you guys for no reason trust me. I’ll discuss all the fun in coming posts in the following days, but I’ll leave the sorrow for a never date.

So it seems bike riding is the new skateboard as far as the trend goes (not dissing anyone, just pointing out an observation.) I for one am not mad at all, Fixed Gear riding seems to be all the craze right about now and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve always been a two wheeler myself, but moving from Nigeria I had to leave behind my 3 awesome bikes to rust in the West African sun.

 The fixed gear craze is sweeping the world and it’s just starting people, I didn’t ride a bike for years until the post a few below this one and it made me feel like a kid again, I remember my cousins making fun of me because I couldn’t ride, I remember waking up that Saturday morning and finally mastering the bike before sun down, I remember all the blood and scabs from countless dates with the pavement that day. THE GOOD OL DAYS ARE BACK, I’m buying a bike again, but I’ll pass on the fixed gear stuff, although it seems very interesting and point blank……..COOL, I can’t give up that childhood feel of a freewheel bike coasting around the opposite sex with one hand showing off. plus ever since my terrible crash years ago, I’m too paranoid to ride without a break.

If you’ve survived my random rambling until now, congrats, if not? lol read more, it’s good for your brain, Bikes are back, I’m happy, and you should be too, get one if you like it (not just cause all the cool kids are doing it), and check out the dopest bike blog in the area fixedindc

Until next time compadres (wonder if the fedex guy dropped my packages today??)

It’s hard to  find balance sometimes, the summer is going great but I haven’t seen my friends as much as I want to, the fact that we are all making moves to take over the world partially compensates for that but it’s not enough, I’m about to spend the rest of today planning events, trips to get us all in the same places, so if we’re cool, hit me up, the summertime is nice but short, lets have a blast.

Connoisseurs x Bikes

Whats going on world?! We, here at Connoisseurs, have been working hard these past few days to get you guys something proper.Despite financial pains, conflicting schedules, gray hairs, laziness, and days without coco bread, our design duo have been riding bikes.

Yep, you read right! BIKES! When we’re not running 16k marathons, saving innocent lives from the h1n1, and feeding the homeless, we ride bikes in our leisure at the new DURKL office.

you learn something new everyday

So I was drawing a graphic the other day when I stumbled upon this chart online, I always wondered why they picked Mars for Men and Venus for Women, when explaining what planets we were from, I also wondered where the symbols came from, now I know

AMAZING!

So I went to my High School reunion Choir concert on Saturday, at first I was bummed that I could not take part due to the overwhelming amount of work I have this summer, but after the performance, I felt more privileged to be witnessing the magic, everyone was on point and the atmosphere gave nothing but goosebumps and ecstasy, truly magnificent. I recorded a lot of the concert since most of the pictures I tried to take came out blurry. Here are the only decent few.

WORK HARD! PLAY HARD!

Allow me to get into a rant about my least favorite subject, myself. I work 12 hours a day 5 days a week, not counting the work I put in for the brand, I feel like this workaholic attitude is draining my summer so I want to do something about it. I want to see my friends more, hang out more, so if we’re friends, expect a call, or a text, or me staring at your window at 3am playing the T-pain phantom song, (j/k)

Seriously though, I need a break from the madness, why do you think I’m seeing so many concerts?? you gotta treat yourself every once in a while, you deserve it.

My man Sam also pointed out that he would love to check out more local shows/talents in the DMV area, and it sounds like something I’d be interested in.

If you take anything from this post, just be inspired to have as much fun as you work, you don’t wanna be the guy saying “I’ll rest when I retire” then  you do something stupid like Die before you retire, that would suck wouldn’t it??

Be easy family, gotta get back to work ( I haven’t had my camera in a couple of days so my posts will be lacking original imagery till i get it back, sry)
