Keeping score?

1 point for negi, -2 for posi.

Still trying to get my shit together. Still trying to find the time to ride. Still trying to get all the chemicals in my brain to work together instead of against each other. Trying not to listen, trying to pay attention to detail, trying to keep it all together.

Shit ain't as easy as it looks.

Took the ride from my new house in Old Southeast to Britt's place near the Publix downtown. Real easy, nice ride. Less than 5 minutes. 3rd St. is the way to go, as I got hooted and hollered at while taking 4th St. home. That neighborhood is a little more sketchy than my new one is. I'm looking forward to riding to and from work as well. It's 5 miles each way, so I think 10 miles a day plus whatever I ride afterwards should be the golden ticket...

It's hard to believe I've only been at this for a month. Finished my first alleycat. Piecing together a bike that I can call my own. I wish I could focus on all the good that is coming from all of this, and ignore all the petty bullshit associated with it. I'm not hardwired for that sort of thing. I need some kind of biking zen. Some nice calm stress free zone where I can be pushed but not embarrassed... sweat and grunt without feeling as if I'm being stared at even though there's a good chance I'm not.

I just need to get my head back in the game.
Bring it, motherfuckers.
I work best under pressure.
