Yes folks, it’s true. Big J is an inspiration to me, and with the recent loss of my job, and my lack of possible job opportunities where I live, I have decided to go back to school, and get my JD. This is the plan at least. Of course, first I have to get into [...]
I’ve decided to the go the way of Big Jonny
Things that made me laugh…
Herein, are just a few things that I just read this evening that kind of made me chuckle, or made me think about a few things, maybe they did for you as well, eh, then again, maybe not. You decide. Deride, if you will.
Part the first:
O’Grady’s recent tirade.
As I normally do, I laughed at Mr. [...]
I have become a statistic…
On Tuesday afternoon, at about 2PM, I became a statistic (again). I got laid off from my job that I have only been at for about 8 months now. Now I am one of the MANY out there in this country, who are unemployed. Since it has only been a couple of days, I am [...]
Everything stays the same…
And yet again, I’ve been in the weeds folks. Ah well, this working 80 hours per week (I shit you not), is not good for the soul, let alone, just some overall mental health. Reminds me of the days of when I thought that maybe at some point in my life I could be a [...]
Paging Page…
No doubt, most of you out there have seen this little item about Jonathan Page missing a drug test post race after a recent outing. When reading the article, you see that, the Page’s have a ton of excuses about “why” Mr. Page missed his doping test after the race. He crashed. He didn’t finish [...]
Early resolutions…
It being, you know, that time of year when folks tend to make their resolutions, I am going to try and do something like that now. It’s early, sure, but why the fuck not?
First, try to take myself less serious. Seriously, my job is stressful at times, and I think I take it too serious. [...]
I digress…
Now, normally I would be in here writing about something cycling related, or drinking related, or politics, or maybe all 3 at once (some have told me to stick to one subject, but sort of like the title above, I digress). I’m going to veer of the singletrack here for a minute. Being that the [...]
Seriously?
I have been in the weeds for the last week or two, hard core work things going on (we’re talking back to back to back 70 hour weeks), so I was a little dismayed to see a brawl broke out at cross nationals. Seems like some dumb ass was heckling Page during his post race [...]
Been MIA…
Look, been out a few days, turns out that working 70+ hours per week puts a crimp in my posting style, and or writing. Ah well, momma said that there would be days, or in this case, weeks like these. Let’s just say that sometimes being an automotive supplier, is, well, interesting. Well, actually, I [...]
Bikers down make me sad…
Yeah, seeing stories about bikers down makes me sad. Makes me sad because they’re our 2 wheeled brothers, and we all brave riding on the road lots of times, and it could happen to each one of us easily, and it has happened to some of us. Big J for one, me for another.
Back in [...]
Is there anything the French don’t do right?
First, full disclosure here, I am ethnically French, mostly French Canadian (yeah, that’s right, we DO NOT claim Celine Dion I can guarantee you that), but I still have some roots from the Normandy region of France. Most would mistake me for Italian, or as others have mentioned before, I look sort of like a [...]
Kayle = Fail (hey, I think that rhymes)…
Another doper, busted today, or well, not so much today, but sometime last year with the case finally being decided today. Story can be found here at cyclingnews.com.
Turns out that the tattooed warrior of bike racing actually did take a few drugs while trying to race Superweek (and who the hell else knows what other [...]
Dear sweet little 8 pound 6 ounce Baby Jesus…
This is the story that is going to make me stay so far away from any cycling related forums on the internets, because now for the following, oh, I don’t know, 7 months or so, all we are going to hear from the Lance Fan Boys that have been absent for a few years now [...]
