...too bad the 44 ounces of Mountain Dew I consumed are causing my blood to pump through my veins so rapidly that the idea of sleep is a fleeting argument. 
Rules are funny things. NO BIKES. Do tandem bikes count? in this case I am guessing that the resounding answer is no. They do not count. Please put your tandem bike wherever you please. I would also like to know where this bike came from. I mean this is in my apartment complex, a complex only populated with girls. I can't even really picture it, "Hey roommate, would you like to go on a bike ride with me? What's that? You don't have a bike? That's no problem at all, mine's a tandem." Seriously? I guess perhaps I am forgetting, what the picture so obviously shows, that spring is finally upon us. And that of course means that love is in the air! Right folks? Are you feeling the love? So if this bike is indeed meant for some hopelessly romantic couple I am lead to further questions. Is the bike his? or hers? And how often do they ride it? Do they sing as they ride down the lane in the sun with ridiculously cheesy smiles on their faces? I realize that I am rambling and that I probably sound like some kind of cynic. But I really just don't understand. I think maybe instead of being an exception to the NO BIKES rule this bike is doubly breaking the rules. After all it is double a bicycle. In all reality the rule it is blatantly breaking in red spray paint should probably be the least of my worries.
