addiction

Suddenly coffee seems pretty fucking lame.

I guess, to be honest, I have no idea. Never have done coke or heroin, hell that newly legal shit really never did much for me either, dunno why, never really felt much different pre/post smoking but I've gone over the theory on why.

That said, maybe CX is like BJJ? I'm certainly not any fucking good at it obviously. Was I ever? I've only ever promoted bandit races, only ever helped build courses since 2006, a hell of a lot of huge big high production events tho. Run them? no. Do anything formal? no. Been to all the CX Nats? No, but enough and have watched the evolution and change happen. Do I make suggestions lightly for improvement, usually not serious ones, and sure I'll throw out wild or obvs trolling comments here or there. Tough for people with their head so far up their own ass that they think they are in the clouds (results boy) to tell the difference I guess. Had a thought the other day, colin and jerry are much alike. really good people but total fucking assholes and absolutely 100% infallible engineers. And obvs I don't have a good history of getting along well with those types online, science multi-thread art, see both the detail and big picture and ripples all at once kind of thing is hard to convey and the assumption is usually made that comments are singular and ah whatever.

Fuck it. 

At least I feel fine today, probably could have ridden with Thom and his massive crew yesterday. Probably still better that I didn't. 

And the week has started and in about 7 minutes I get to find out if today is smooth or it is going to be a nightmare between now and tomorrow afternoon. 

Fun.

And yeah, I watched all the CX yesterday even though I hadn't planned on it. Caught the end of the Women's race at Val Di Sole, and the mens race. then watched the end of the women's CX Nats and then all of the Men's race. And no. I do NOT like the way the Blue bikes look. Not at all. but hey, I'm not buying one anytime soon. Esp since they don't make an XL or an XXL. Probably could get away with an XL but def not a L and a 74 seat angle would need a set back post. So yeah. Fuck that.

granted I can pretty much say fuck that to every production bike out there now with very very very very very few exceptions. It's fun being an outlier.

I mean it probably would be a huge advantage if I was neurotypical, but i'm not. 

obvs

shit i'm spiralling.

good thing it is time to move on to the next thing after all the morning things...
