Got some wheels.

[ooc: 1) pretend it's not almost 20 minutes long. 5 minutes at max. 2) mute the video and listen to this instead. 3) pretend it says things like 'Tisse' and 'Chata' rather than 'Nolita' and 'Central Park']

[he hears you smirking Matt, he knows that sound]

Who is having a midlife crisis here?

[Tatsuo. Tatsuo is.]

I just figured it was time I actually had a vehicle.

[and like hell was it going to be a car]

According to the intern I asked to describe the video during my lunch break it's most definitely a midlife crisis kind of vehicle.

[Tatsuo almost makes a comment about what do interns know about anything... but he remember his friends in college and all the thankless interning jobs they'd done.]

it's a Kawasaki Ninja 650. Costs less than eight grand. There are motorcycles with bigger engines and more bells and whistles than mine, and they're calling it a mid-life crisis?

[someone's feathers are ruffled]

A small midlife crisis then?

[ You're not going to get out of this that easy Tatsuo. ]

So small its nonexistent.

[why are all his friends like this]

Take it from me, just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there.

Ah but what am I going to do for my "small midlife crisis?" No vehicles for me.

[nope, it's not there, not at all ~~yes it is~~]

Hmmmmmm... maybe a new sofa for your place? One of those expensive, custom made leather ones. Or some fancy piece of tech. Like a new sound system.

I do like the sound system idea. But that might lead to Mary blasting her music. Risky.

Hmmm. All the ideas that come to mind are too tame for a true midlife crisis purchase. Like a new mattress or a fancy desk lamp.

True, you need something excessive and pointlessly useless.

Like a gold-plated statue of yourself.

Hmm. Yeah! Like a trophy. It can be the Matthew award. For excellence in excellence. Or something. I don't know.

But I'm the only winner so far. Better luck next year buddy.

[Tatsuo laughs.

Just stick it in your entry, let people marvel at your awesomeness.

I'll stick with my motorcycle.

You don't want a trophy portrait? Oh well. Suit yourself.

In all seriousness I can't imagine owning a statue of myself. Even something silly like that. That would be weird! I don't know... When I think of people who own portraits of themselves I think of kings and rich people with way too much money and too much ego.

True... your ego isn't quite massive enough for that. We're clearly going to have to put more thought into your mid-life crisis purchase.

Yeah. I'll think on it and get back to you later with my ideas. In the meantime you'll just have to let me sit on your bike and make motor noises.

I think that can be arranged.
