I've looked at "details" and there is no "v" in details so how do you get the devil? Do you trade the "a" and "t" and throw in the "s" for good measure? I think there is something to the saying, but making sure you get the small steps done in a process is the devil. If something is worth doing, do it right. The right way. Enough, about that. I think the Devil is in the Drink. Lately my life has been crazy and turned all kinds of sideways, not upside down like everyone says. But, Sideways. Like any good red-blooded male I like to self-medicate and hyphenate.
Details, details, details. You drink enough and you will find the devil, he might not be in the bottom of the first or last bottle, but he is in there waiting to come out and infest your soul. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to demonize alcohol, it is, on it's own a beautiful thing. It's when one is not a professional in prescribing the right dosage that one will succumb the the wily powers that are inherent to the bowels of Hades. The problem lies in the fact that the proper prescribed amount changes due to the ailment. This becomes a problem when you reach the Over rather than the Under.
So, in my finite wisdom, I being of unsound mind am going to try sobriety. If only for a couple of days, just to see if the world in which I am living in currently looks any different from the outside looking in, rather than from the inside (of a bottle) looking out. What does this have to do with cycling? I'm working on that as I type and hypothesize, and to be honest it's not going well. So I am going to keep this up until something hits me and I can try and tie this all together, or I could just leave it up in the air and just leave you with a hypothetical.
Yeah, I've got nothing. I guess what I should come away with this, is -make the best of the situation that I am in and not
eff mess it up by going crazy. Like getting too much rope to play with and accidentally hanging myself. Here you go... It's like a descent that is supper fast and twisty, one that you have never been on, you want to let it out, but you don't know what is around the next curve. Sometimes you have to apply a little brake just before the apex, but not too much or you are on the ground losing flesh at 30+mph, don't slow down and the consequences are worse, once you see the other side you can get back on it an apply some power. My advice to myself it to take it one twisty tight curve at a time and see where this takes me. If you are not careful the Devil could be in that corner waiting like a oil-slick or a patch of gravel. If it wasn't for the twisty downhills the uphills would not be worth climbing.
