093: the rumple fish

The fall out from a hard week is ugly. God bless my parents. Tough choices are made. I can be a selfish son of a bitch, but I can also live with that. At the end of the day life is about choices. i have made mine. I feel better speaking my mind. A friend used the term cleansed.

Will it change anything? No, probably not. Probably make things more isolated, and allow things to fester even worse... If that's possible. One thing is sure: I'm not going to put myself in that position again. Angst, yeah I get angst sometimes. Thankfully, I have some great brothers, friends and a wonderful wife to wander down this path with me.

At the end of the day life is kinda simple from this 38 year old's point of view:

Be a victim or control your destiny...
choose to be happy, or not..
life is short, don't waste it away..

being 17 was fun, being 17 for your entire life is just sad.

sure, I've been lucky, I've been fortunate... But I also believe in Karma, you get out of life what you put into it...

New Dryer today.
Finally some clean laundry...

Riley has had projectile diarrhea for the past couple of days. That was pretty fun. It's been a cycle of 3 hours, then explosion. I've taken to calling the poor boy "old faithful"... We tried to ride it out, feed him some rice, some bland food... After another long night of "old faithful", and some blood in the poo this morning and I took the kid to the vet. They don't believe it's a blockage, which is good news... Riley will get an overnight stay at the hospital, and my wallet will get raped. If he comes home happy and healthy tomorrow, it will be all worth it...
coach had me scheduled for a nice interval work out today. I will admit there are times when nothing burns away the angst and frustration like a good interval work out. But today, today I needed to see some smiling faces, and the comfort of good friends. Jay Jay, Peaches and I slipped out for a little fire road delight last night.

Today Buddy the keg breaker, Jebalicous, L-Web , Amazin' Andrew and I hit some top secret trails that were much better than I could have dreamed...

Damn it was good to see Andrew again...
despite being cloudy all day, when I headed out of the garage the sun came out...

bare legs, a sure sign that spring is upon us...
sometimes, sometimes it just take turning the brain off, and letting the body go to make everything work out alright...
