random lunchtime thoughts

it's good to have friends. they pick ya up when you need it, drive you home when you're drunk and kick ya in the nuts when you need a good ass-whoopin'.

this michigan winter stuff sucks! i want to go out and ride. i want to go out and run. i hate going outside and freezing my ass off. i've been wanting to put together my single speed bike for quite awhile now. once again that procrastination thing gets in the way. i have pretty much all the parts laying around the house/garage. i just need to put everything in a box and take to the shop. take it or bring it? ugh! my grammar has gone down the shitter the past few years. too many beers and vodka sodas. hmmm...maybe soupy could help me put it together. he's the main reason why i'm even thinking about putting this together. his new ss looks bad ass! i don't like the idea of a ss but i can't knock it until i try it. i do know that i luv my gears!

see, if i put together my ss and don't like it, i could always sell it. what i really want is a 29er. i'm just afraid if i fall into the 29er circle, then i'll just want to get rid of my other bikes and get some ridiculous high-end custom 29er. yes, i'm crazy like that.

all this talk about bikes and no riding. i feel like such a slug. with all the dr.'s appointments and tests the past week and a half, i haven't done shit. i think i lifted like twice in the last week. i ran 3 miles on monday and rode the stupid trainer on tuesday. so here it is, friday afternoon and i've basically been sitting on my ass since tuesday. it's not like i could actually finish a 12 hr. race on this training schedule. with the freeze yo ass off temps they're predicting for this weekend, it looks like i'll be getting intimate and sweaty with the trainer once again.

oh yeah, and to finish off on a positive note...

a big fuck off to the extremist organized religion fucks for inciting violent riots and killing innocent people. when will you people ever learn? the world would be a much nicer place if you did.

um, i think i'll pass on the freeze yo ass off ride. there'll be many warmer weekends in the coming weeks!

i think i'll get all my ss crap together and put it in a box. it should be pretty easy to put together w/ the right tools and a stand. i just hope i have the right sized bottom bracket.

minus the icicles, did you manage to stay warm? old joe tends to think the extreme cold air is bad for your lungs. maybe we should think about a ride this weekend w/ the milder temps.
