Success

The race rocked. A few crashes and greater that expected entry levels.

We pulled it off. Now to rest for a few days.

Wait no rest, busted tail Monday and again today. So much so my car busted a GUT and bled out right there in my arms. This will break a new mark for car breakdowns for me in a month. Ouch this is mucking up all sorts of plans and need to do things. But I'll bounce back. I have a plan that was given to me. I appreciate that so much.

I road with the kids for a lap at the race and had a streamer first on my head then on my back so the kids would have a idea where to go and how far. I got the kids worked up and they rode hard, I got out kicked by an 8 year old, that has been the story of my season. But hey I always bounce back stronger, smarter and ready to learn more and be even more accepting of others and myself. Now that, is progress.

Full Stop

This is my bike.

This was a cold day

Gone ridin

Dealing with all the stuff of the bike has me whupped. So time to get lost on the bike for a while before the big weekend events, yup it is time for the Longmont Crit presented by TwinPeaks Racing. Yea!

So off I go. A good climb through the hills, check out the farms ranches and mcmansions of the uptight and unsettled.

When the Levees Broke

Click on the words above. And see the the lives, loves and truths of New Orleans.

I have not been back to the NO or the Gulf Coast since the Cane so when I see that Spike Lee did a docu I did a full stop and sat down to see what the happs were. This shows the real deal. I gotta say that that this is even more devastating than watching it live and talking to my cousins and family down there. I think that they were being brave and still are about what happened and is happening there. These stories are just some off the most disturbed and truthful accounts of the lives and times during this event. 3 days with no water, 5 days in the human storm, people dying where they sat. Black, white and hispanic people watching each other die. The only choices were to walk out of town, forced at gunpoint to the this serious mess. This is our government people. The shame of America.

The war that Katrina is and was and in the words of our peers and seeing that, I am even more pissed off and sad. The Canadians bless their souls sent more help than the US Government did, hell even that supposed despot in Veneulaza (sp) sent help. What the hell does that say about us? One looter jackin food and getting all over the news or gettin jacked by FEMA while your told that eveything is everything and that'll it be okay. The world press savaged us and rightly so. This disgraceful.

The cops were looting, and the showed it on TV and no one peeped, was this race or negligence or just a we don't care moment. What the fuck happened, that shit is seriously fucked up - no joke people. Go there and see it I''l lead the a tour and volunteer mission and we can go and live it. This is life changing shit. So many things can make you a better man, person and once you see this you will want to be better.

Sunday Sunday Sunday

had fun.

Uhh Saturday update

Saw my dude Adam, he just got married. Congrats man.

Played TENNIS, never did that before in my life, it was fun, but I think that I pulled something that is not pleasant to be pulled, going up the stairs was an adventure in tweaking pulls and tingles.

Phoenix was fun, Lindan is a hoot (did I just say hoot?) Met with the big resellers and missed some of the lil'er fella's but I'll be back.


Did I mention that this is Saturday night and Shakira is on SNL, yikes is she slutty lookin. But I am sure plenty of people find her to a pleasant diversion.

Bloody Hell

damn it is hot. and the vat's are running scams all over the valley - hijackin toner!! Come on....

Okay one more day and I can come home, yippee.

Hasta.

Tuesday Fast Food

In Phoenix in a another hotel room, nice eh? Fast food and trying to confirm directions to a meeting. God help me. At least the flight was super smooth and I am close to South Mountain and AZ mills. I can go for a speed walk and even though it is still like 100 out, I can get a sweat out by walking 20 feet. Yeah quick fast work outs.


Later

Friday Night

Wrestling ahhhh nothing like it. May go on down to the garage and chill with the boys for a few hours, we'll see what's up and if they can get their shit together.

Here is the info.

For the Grand Prix it is Saturday - not the most exciting day but should be fun. Please note that you'll need to be dresses business casual.

denver GP

Who wants to go? Celebrity Suite with me. Food Drink and finish line suite sick is the word that I would use.

Holla!

Thanks

To Brian, Rich, Stevo, Colin for making the Bannock Street Crit so damn fun. Long day good racing and a huge thanks the Dan for Kodak Sierra Nevada for the test on the SRAM Force group. Cool.

Wipe the sleep from your eyes

Double Back flips, failed tests and whole villages going up in flames. Sitting and sipping coffee while viewing the news of the world is usually a good way to start the morning....

No idea even where to begin. Floyd - I don't even want to know, that doublebacker from Pastrana I had to do a double take it was so cool. I won't even try to understand the rest of it so I'll drink some more coffee, clean a bike and think about riding it and taking some photo's of the races. Still feeling a twinge of depression over my life the last few months, however a brighter season will be calling soon enough and I have to look forward to that.

As for the rest, I am just going to enjoy each moment when I can and look for the silly and fun things in life.

Tao.

The Wu Wei principle…can be understood by striking at a piece of cork floating in the water. The harder you hit it, the more it yields; the more it yields, the harder it bounces back. Without expending energy, the cork can easily wear you out. So, Wu Wei overcomes force by neutralizing its power, rather than by adding to the conflict.

This is how to live.

Ohh I know who has my back

And will protect me from Evil and Evil Doers we have a strategery. May I introduce my new security team.

Junk mails from 1-9pm are you kidding me? This is totally out of hand.

Anyway. Feeling good, legs are sore and mind is easing up a bit, I realized that people have hard times and bounce back, people are flattened and comeback. You know the key? It is not losing your confidence, find it in little places here and there and build it up, no I am not saying be co-dependent or seek it from someone else.

It is truly inside you, sometimes it is covered up by junk but it is there, pick it up, dust it off, and make friends with it again, it is your friend and it never really leaves, remember that, I know it is hard and easier said than done but keep it in mind kids. Your gonna get dropped, kicked, beaten and feel like all is lost as long as you believe in yourself even when others doubt you or you even doubt yourself, you gotta believe.

Up for a couple of gigs

Wish me some serious luck.

Hasta.

IWHID.
