Deodorant Nightmare.

I have sensitive arm pits. Seriously, I can't even use deodorant made for men. Degree, Speed stick, Old spice all make my arm pits look like ground zero in measles break out. So I use women's deodorant, mainly Secret. You know strong enough for a man, but made for a woman. I like to think of it as strong enough for a man, but made for Fatmarc.

Problem is I have hairy armpits. Hairy might not be strong enough of a description. Try and picture Chewbacca living under my arms or something. The Secret deodorant smells nice, but it clumps up in my pit hair. Then it itches, and causes my arm pit hair to stick together. Although I smell spring fresh, I feel like I have Bob Marley possessing my armpits. Sometimes there is big nasty dready arm pit hair. It totally freaks me out. Someday I'll walk past you and you hear someone singing "No Woman No Cry!" Yeah, it's my Bob Marley arm pit.

I thought about shaving my pits, I made that mistake once when I was younger; it itched and poked like a sonofabitch. I don't know how women do it. Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely not digging on the Euro Woman Hairy Pit look, but I could understand what motivates it. But I digress, Last night, I was sleeping dreaming that I had mountains of deodorant under my arm, and I was scratching it trying to get it off but I couldn't. I keep scratching, and scratching, and I woke up and I found myself scratching my arm pit. Thing is I showered before I went to sleep, no deodorant, no Bob Marley, just Chewbacca. Great, I have my armpit woes deep in my subconscious. It's just not good. Jesus, who has nightmares about their arm pits? I think I need help.

Saw my folks last night, it was good. It was Mom's Birthday. We ate subs and talked smack. Everyone was in good spirits. My niece Ciara was playing ballerina and singing at the top of her lungs. That was cool too. Tim put together a web site based on my blog and some other stuff I gave him for his senior project. I think it came out very well- check it out over on the right.

I have been riding the rollers before work this week trying to salvage my spin. I was always told there are 2 kinds of strong riders:
1. People who can crush the big gear, the mashers,
2. People who can spin the gears smoothly, spinners.

It took me 10 years to develop have a decent pedal stroke. 2 and ½ years of single speeding and I've destroyed it. I'm the only guy out there mashing small gears. Great, Frigging great. That and $4.50 might get me a cup of coffee at Starbucks...

Anyway, I need to go to work now.
Protect your arm pits.
Pit dreads are evil.
