Lots of action on people’s blogs recently!  Must be lots of thinking going on.

“Nothing is nothing” by a former friend of mine.  Interesting that he said that, someone I was very very close with at one point.  Similar to someone else I was once very very close with, this guy refused to believe that anything unfortunate that comes about him is a result of his doing.

Let me back up.  New guy American living here now will not accept responsibility for his actions.  “Let me tell you C-l–n, everything that has gone to shit in my life, is my fault, or at least 50% my fault.  Nothing just happens to people.  We don’t just happen to land in these situations completely on our own.  Welcome to life is fucking hard work, racing is hard work, relationships are hard work.  It takes lots of dedication, and dads money can’t buy that.  And religion can’t provide that.  Solitude is a good route.  If you want it bad enough, nothing will stop you.  If you want to make excuses, then you’re responsible for the failure.  Congratulations and welcome to Belgium.”

Race was hard today, despite my good result last week, today I suffered way way more for a shit result in a race that wasn’t nearly as fast.  I slept 3, maybe 4 hours last night.  It is somewhat normal right now, heavy dreaming when I’m asleep, but unable to fall back once I awake.  I didn’t get paid today either.  I have 2 Euro 20 Cents….and I spent my other Euro on beers tonight so hopefully I will sleep.  That is coming up now.

Good luck and sleep well. Congrats to everyone who met their goals at 24HOB this past weekend!
