THE NEGATIVE REACTION

ANOTHER DAY IN THE BLOGSPHERE

Another day, another deleted post. Yesterday, I spent like a fricking hour posting all this stuff, only to hit the preview button and *poof* it's gone. I was so pissed, I almost gave up. But alas, another day, another tale of weird stuff.

So Lance won his sixth tour, Filip got busted HUGE. Thanks for the memories guys. Lance, I don't know if he'll be back. If nothing else, it seems like people are trying to push him out of the sport, which is really shitty. So he may just come back to shut people up and hang a seven or eight tours on them. Or even better? Maybe he'll go after Merckx record of 5 Tours and 5 Giro De Italia wins. Who knows, but Eddy will always be the greatest in my mind until that day. To see Lance win 5 is amazing, ever seen history being made? I still think it's pretty cool what Lance has benn able to do.


Yes, Eddy, you are still the greatest - but you got some competition now bro.

So to re-cap briefly, my son last Sunday and I was pretty depressed. He had a hard time Friday night, not wanting to go home. Since then, I talked with him on the phone and he sounded like he was back in good spirits again.

Probably the best thing was taking my son to the skatepark. I was really against it, and had my reservations about how he would do. His good friends were there, which helped quite a bit. So in the end, I relented and I was relieved to see him to do well. I was really proud of him and he kept talking about how fun it was even when I just talked with him on the phone. I told his mother she had to buy him a new helmet, and sure enough I got a voice mail from him that he got his new helmet and was already going to the skatepark by his house; which was nice to hear.

Okay, so onto more important things. My goal of getting my bike built has finally materialized, and I'm in the process of getting a mechanic at our shop to build it for me. Of course I can do the easy stuff, but the disc brakes, wheels, deraileurs and the like are going to prove to be too tough for me. So I'll have somebody do it right the first time. So I changed direction on my crankset. Originally I wanted the Race Face Deus. On further review, I ended up going with the Truvativ Stylo Team set.

Here's what they'll look like:



how beautiful.. . . . . . I can barely wait. . .

At least I've found another great show I like. Metal Mania on VH1 classics is AWESOME. Lots of 80's metal. the harispray, the melodic ballads, the spandex.

So a few nights ago, there are a series of videos, most of the bands I never heard of, but remember the songs. I suddenly find myself STARING at the screen. I came to the stern realization that the 80's were ten years of pure androgyny. What a revelation! So now I'm doing some research on what exactly lead to this crazy stuff, and the funny part? Pure widespread acceptence.

Oh yeah here's some more good news. John Kerry is about to go down in flames HARDCORE. These guys that served with him in Vietnam wrote a book that just hazes him. Here's a link to the their website. Hard to argue Kerry's own words, reports, and cross referencing with archived reports, and also eye witness accounts from the guys who served with him..

Sorry John. . . .

That's all I got for right now. . . . more on Filip and EPO laters brah!
