oh the craZy runs deep

But that chipstick, the little hobbit who's lived 10x the average cyclists life, who's rubbed shoulders and stood eye to eye with more of those who influence where we are today than anyone else...

but in the same breath doesn't ever mention it, never lets on how deep his roots run, how connect he is...

and yet he continues to be one of the most solid rocks, the most positive of positive, the most supportive ever.  Not many friends like him.

What makes him special? Dunno. But Pam figured it out long before any of anyone I know did, but everyone I know who knows Chip aka Velocb knows.... knows what i'm talking about.

He re-tweeted something. A total clickbait bit, but something that I realized way too late, didn't realize it until I stopped doing it regularly, hourly...

Downside? Patterns were formed. Synapses were solidified. I've clicked through the links from the first one, they say more than it does but they are linked from it. And what he posted/retweeted is solid enough to leave without digging or posting further, heck, he probably knows who the person is who created the latest clickbait article.

Despite the clickbait nature of the title, and even based on other articles on blogs that are click bait themselves... a massive clickbait worm hole....

Despite all that...

It rings true.

If we spend all our time complaining about how hungry we are and how much we want mexican food, vs not complaining and getting on with it... even if the complaining is for effect, it still impacts.

Complaining about work stresses don't help them go away do they, nope, they don't.

But bottling up doesn't do much either - action, even the tiniest little action in the positive direction...

but then maybe I should RTFA ...oh wait...  i did
here
and it is spot the fuck on...  saddy didn't realize it till maybe 20 years too late. But hey my sarcasm and pessimism is super well crafted and curated....

But despite blog sense lately I have found marked improvement...  but good fucking lord this shit takes time...  compound it with a massive pile of other factors? makes sense, not easy.

But hey those other factors make the negative shit go away...  so that's something yeah?

Today was rough, exhausting, but good. Graded papers, wrote lectures, made quiz, talked for ever, answered every question until there were no more...  rode home.... made dinner...  picked up kid from city...  fed everyone...  and sitting down now to eat food myself.

Life's a struggle...  venting here or anywhere isn't always the best...  sometimes...  no matter how hard you try to re-progam shit... one falls back on established pathways...  but over time, i have to say... they feel less and less comfortable to travel on, maybe not too long perhaps they will be so uncomfortable that I'll avoid them even when feeling super dark and down.

Chipstick's ideal is one that helps...  the infectiously positive in spite of all odds...  but the depth of wisdom in his eyes dispels any doubt that he's some rainbowfart sniffing airhead. He's been through enough to know...

But this isn't really about that knucklehead townie. But I think to me that's clear. To you? if it is just about that knuckleheaded townie? That's okay too...
