Life Aquatic...

Well I actually did it. I made it to the pool this morning to do some lap swim. Lying in bed this morning hearing the "cold weather alert" and thinking "God, I so don't want to haul my ass all the way over to the pool and get in that water."

Anyways, like anything in life, losers wine about trying their best and maybe next time and winners just do shit.

I guess I just like doing shit. I'm feeling really tired now, that was a great workout. I made some new friends (this was my first time at that pool). BTW, I think I'm the only guy there under 70 years old.

So, maybe I'll sign up for my first Tri in June of 08. I think I can be ready by then.

Tired

Maybe posting this morning at 4 am was not such a great idea. As I think now about last night, it wasn't quite so bad. It was a lot of fun and a great learning experience. Plus it will probably be another interesting chapter of the book "Shit Show that is Life"

I could probably work on the title a bit, but I'm not feeling very creative now as I'm working on 2 hours of sleep.

The biggest "loser..."

I know there is a TV show right now that champions such folks as heroes but I will testify that they have nothing on me. This has nothing to to with my weight but I will certainly claim that I am the biggest loser.

I would recount tonight's events but that would only serve to entrench me in the disgust that I feel at this moment. It may also serve to be evidence against me at some point so I will pass.

There is a part of me that wants to wallow in self pity but I will rise above it. I will claim that I am a loser and revel in it. Perhaps this will be a source of pride for me as even losers can win. I don't know how I get into these situations but I'm sure once the loathing is gone I will rise above this and soar.

Losers unite...this is our time.

OMG, its 4 am and I have to be awake in 2 hours to get to my co-owners meeting and give a leasing presentation. This will not be fun.
