So I'm starting of the New Year right, I'm trying to produce a metric ton of snot. Yeah you heard me right, sounds funny, but it's snot. I have been fighting a sinus infection for about a week and a half. Two doctors visits, two prescriptions, a shot in the arse and I still feel not so bueno. Enough about me. Seriously, how much mucus can your body produce? This is crazy, in the last couple of weeks I'm sure I have pound for pound equaled my body weight. At least once or twice. So, it can only get better from here, Right? That's right... Positive.
I am not making any resolutions or changes for this coming year. I'm just going to take it as it comes, and make the best of it. That being said, I would like to be a little more consistent with things (writing). Don't want to jinx things, just trying to get off on the right foot.
I haven't been on the bike much, one because of the weather and two because of being under said weather. I really want to ride the MTB more this year, and I want to do it in other states. I want to use my car even less this year. Wow, this really sounds like resolutions. Na, it's not, just being hopeful for the New Year.
Well so stay tuned, and see where this goes... I could possibly talk about cycling, life, funny stuff, gossip, dirty laundry, jokes, secrets, history, chemistry, algebra -I'm not so good at math. Anyway keep tuned in and we will see if I can stay on a roll and continue making letters into words and stuff.
See you out there on the trail, road, and in the shop.

Lies
How many people are going to tell lies tonight. Lies to themselves. Here is a PSA for all of you who are planning to LIE. Don't do it. I know it sounds so simple to just not lie, but it is not... It is a night of lies. For exhibit A: I'm going to _______ next year. That is the biggest lie that will be told tonight, it is usually made under good intentions, but mostly made under social/peer/traditional pressure.
1. be true to yourself and don't say something that you are not
2. shoot low, I know this sounds wrong, but seriously... lower your expectations
3. don't change anything, slightly modify something... stop smoking crack -switch to cigarettes
The worst thing you can do to yourself is to lie... it's ok to lie to your friends and family, but don't lie to yourself. Someone said that "change is the only permanent thing in life" this is truth. You can resist change you can try to change, or do nothing. It will happen no matter what forces you apply. So you might as well pull up a chair pour a nice beverage and sit back and enjoy the show.
I had a weird year last year. Some of it was really good, some not so good, but none of it was a product of me trying to resolve to do something different. I did not change my life on 12/31/11, it changed in the subsequent 365 days, no matter the influences I practiced. So on this eve of the New Year I wonder what the next days have in store for me. I will resolve to not be resolute in this newest of years, 'cause time will continue no matter the piles and piles of lies that are spoken tonight.
One last final suggestion if you decide to not follow my anti-resolution stance. Drink so much that you forget anything and everything that you resolved to do... world peace, stop drinking, stop smoking, getting a real life, stealing cable, pirating movies, stealing lunch money, other bad things.
No really, have fun, be safe, live to fight another day... year or two.
