My Loyal Minions...
Okay, mostly you're my friends and family, but doesn't "loyal minions" have such a nasty, little ring to it?
And, in my long, long absence from the blogosphere, things have definitely gotten a little nasty in my life. Needless to say, as you can tell by the new look of the ol' blog, I'm no longer with the blue and orange. I quit the cycling team and have decided to race unattached. Independent. Solo. Sovereign. Free. Unfettered. Ah, hell, let me put the thesaurus down and get down to business.
It's been a pretty shitty last couple months. I quit my job with the youth symphony program (long story short: crappy concert, I had higher expectations, I let 'em know it, and their parents wanted my head on a stick). Yeah, that was fun. Then the team stuff went south quickly. Funny thing, after I quit getting coached by the team sponsor, my services weren't needed. In fact, all communication pretty much stopped between me and coach. C'est la vie, eh?
And then, drum roll please: THE FLU! And not just the "oh, I have a sniffle and a bad cough" kind of flu. We're talking the "take a baseball bat and beat the living shit outta me and then stuff green slime behind my eyes until my head explodes" kind of flu. I was flat on my back for five days! Okay, I can hear the D-Unit saying "you shoulda got a flu shot, dumbass!" And he'd be right, of course, however, I don't listen to him. The good news is that I was home in Iowa, so I got to hang out with my folks, do a little shopping (before I went down sick), and watch the Super Bowl! THEN I got to spend two more days sicker than a dog.
So there you go. My life the last few months. Oh, yeah, I also lost 20 pounds. Don't know if it was the dope (just kidding, mom), the extreme diet and workouts, or the stress. Could be all the above, I guess.
So, here's my promise to you, MLM (get it "my loyal minions"): this blog is going to be a little bit different. Maybe a little bit of cycling advice, some weight loss tips, maybe a little humor here and there (did you hear the one about the cellist who married a tuba player? hilarious).
Stay tuned. I'll try to do the same.
