Thanksgiving

Once again, it’s that time of year … time to sit back and reflect on all that I am thankful for.

I continue to rediscover my love for the bicycle, even though my lungs continue to rebel … and I’m looking forward to my “training camp” in Arizona. I still have a good job, which [...]

Dysthymia sucks

You know something isn’t right when you start to dread something you’ve been looking forward to for 9 months.

I’m beginning think I may need different meds, because I haven’t been this down since I got divorced.

2 states, 2 executions, one 1 in the news.

Lost in the Troy Davis news debacle tonight was the fact that another man was executed in Texas tonight. Lawrence Russell Brewer, one of three men convicted for the brutal murder of James Byrd, Jr., by dragging him for about 3 miles, including a mile or so after Byrd was decapitated when hit a culvert.

What 9/11 will always mean to me

Mom –

Want to wish you the happiest of happy birthdays today … or at least as happy as a day that coincides with the anniversary of a tragedy (and associated socio-political and pseudo-religious BS pervading the media) can be.

I’ve been thinking about family lots lately, and I know that I am truly lucky [...]

Wanted

Wanted: low-stress job in a casual and creative environment for intelligent individuals, which allows one to think and rewards one for doing a good job with additional compensation rather than additional mind-numbing and energy-sapping work. Requested starting salary: ~$60K (but I’m willing to accept more).

No matter where you go ...

Feeling very down in the dumps today.

A number of friends going through events I can’t really help them with, as much as I want to … I recognize that some things people have to deal with in their own time, in their own manner.

I’m also feeling very isolated & alone myself, [...]

More evidence for Darwin

Tragic story, but why does this always seem to happen to people who trust in God to protect them instead of exercising common sense. I think that if there is a Supreme Being, it’s going to protect people against things beyond their control, but is not going to reward stupidity?

God (in whatever form) [...]

Social denetworking

I deactivated my Facebook and Foursquare accounts a couple weeks ago. Thus far, only two of my friends have noticed (or at least cared enough to say anything about it). I haven’t yet been able to kill my Twitter account, because I think the total isolation that would bring on would kill me … at [...]

British cyclists—powered by coffee

How many of my readers were aware that cyclists like coffee? This is certainly news to me!

Plenty of us need it as a pick-me-up in the morning, but would you have had Britain’s finest track cyclists down as coffee addicts?

It turns out the GB team are every bit as keen on the bean [...]

Motivation (and lack thereof)

It’s a gorgeous spring afternoon … and what am I doing? I’m sitting on my couch composing this stupid blog entry about my complete and utter lack of motivation to get outside and do anything.

I think part of my malaise today comes from reading Mama Grrrlie’s most recent blog entry on turning 39. MG [...]
