Cycoist?

In my life I have been accused of a lot of things, the most recent being a "Cycoist". Basically because of my cycling tendencies (read obsession) my wife has dubbed me a cycling psycho. Now, I know I'm not the only one out there, yes there are many of us and I am far from the worst. However, it seems that each year I seem to get just a little closer to the top of the list. One of the blogs that I follow quite closely is Fatty's Fat Cyclist. This guy makes his living blogging and most of his posts are really good. Yesterdays was tops as far as I'm concerned. I had my wife read through it and she had to agree that it describes me almost to a "T". My favorite part is:

"...Oh, and there’s a side benefit, too. If you’re training, you’re guaranteed to be slated to do a set of road hill intervals the day all your friends want to go on a group ride. Or you’ll be having an enforced rest day all your friends want to ride an epic stretch of singletrack.

But all this training will pay off, and one day you will be the fastest and strongest rider of all the people who used to be your riding buddies back before you started training..."

Haven't seen this yet but I'm ready for it to happen.

Read it, and you will understand.

Dragon

Being that Jon posted on the "year of the ox" and that he is one. I had to look myself up. I'm a Dragon and it is detailed here. And here is a snippet of what I am supposed to be...

"The Dragon is omnipotent. They are flamboyant, attractive and full of vitality and strength. In China, the Dragon is the sign of the Emperor of China or the male element Yang. The Dragon is the symbol of power and wealth.

It would be right to say that people born in the year of the dragon have a natural charisma and are certainly gifted with power and luck. It is unlikely for them to escape unnoticed from a party or to take second place in a competition. The dragon person has an active mind and shows an unfeigned interest in the world around them. This person is also self-confident enough to know how to create a necessary impression. Because they are larger than life themselves, dragon people like to do everything on a grand scale. They are egotistical self-aggrandizing and just as ambitious as the Rat, almost to the point of megalomania. They will stop at nothing to get what they want. A person born in this year wears the crown of destiny, and is capable of great achievements if they know how to harness their own tremendous energy, intelligence and talent. While these people enjoy being the center of attention, they also have a brave and charitable side to their personality. If a dragon's friend faces a problem or dilemma, they will be there to offer help, and when others leave the field of battle the dragon takes a step forward to solve the problem with authority and dignity. Dragons set a high standard of actions for themselves as well as for other people and are surprised when others cannot cope with a task; they are so carried away by the process that they fail to see other people's weaknesses.

Ideal jobs for dragons include kings, military officer, physician, politician, musician, buffers, poet, artist, biological and environmental engineer, stockbroker, athlete, trade union leader, company director, explorer, and attorney."

Sound familiar? And for the record my wife is a Snake.

I'm going to have to second this...

Fatty

I have to admit, I follow alot of blogs. But one of them that I really like to read right away when it comes out is Fatty. Fatty is THE blogger out there as far as myself and many others are concerned. So when he speaks...well, you get the picture. Today's wild post has to do with the Argyle Club, sponsored by the ever cool Garmin-Chipolte team. Read it, you'll like it.

BB Funny

Yes I carry a BlackBerry as most everyone reading this knows. I'm also sure that you can understand why I need the product from this video.
