Author ArchiveHave not had any WoW Delirium Tremens. Been sober about 3 weeks now. There is part of me that wants to cram level my hunter up to Level 70 and make a engine copter, yet I will see if I can at least clean up around the house. About 1.5 yrs into WoW (from beta 04) I started feeling a bit controlled by not only the game, yet by the group dynamics of doing “high end” with these guys. I then /g quitted, dropped out of the group and started exploring. I found out about the troll village in winterspring and exploring Caverns of Time, and dying and rezzing on the other side of Hyjal-all pre-BC, and I had a blast. I wasn’t farming for mats for the “team” for raids anymore. I also found two vids that helped me tremendously. Noggenfogger was the bomb. I will post about this stuff later. @ the time I left the guild it was a weight off my shoulders and I was reminded of one of my favorite Maiden songs…The Prisoner! Then I made some alts. “Got rid” of the account *) and took a 2 month break. But….went to prepay cards (healthier) and started a spriest (with one ear now), then a hunter alt. Mostly BG stuff, no high end, and not falling for the temptation either. The BG rush though is hard to tame, as seen how fun ass this crap can be. As in, same fever you got as an 8th grader that hit the winning basket as the buzzer goes off, except in WSG, when you do something awsome, the wow players across the world can’t hold you on their shoulders and tromp you around the gymnasium shouting for he’s a jolly good fellow…the feeling of exaltation is the same…yet it’s all virtual..
Well, an eight month project has come to an end. My friend Brian gave me and old mid 90 specialized road bike frame. I decided to Frankenstein it and build it up with mid level components off of ebay. I ended up getting it powder coated granny smith green. I am planning to ugrade to some durace downtube shifters and a shortcage derailleur on the back so the components work smoothly. I will buy a new bike in 2 yrs but this will due for now. And I will be faster than the yellow clunker of a mtn bike I used for my duathlon and sprint triathlon last year. Pues si, aqui mi Frankenstein bici, asi lo voy a usar hasta compro un nuevo en 2 anyos.
Looks like this movie has made it to Webby Nominees for a Toyota Tacoma Advertisement. I have been WoW dry for about 2 weeks.

From Fat man to Iron manEl Gordo TriathletePosted by saxoch in Triathlon, tags: TriathlonToday at the Marathon, during the Half, I saw a 70 something running way behind. He appeared to limp run on one side. He looked like he had some minor hemiparesis. Point is. He was doing it because he could. Being at these events and seeing amateurs compete makes one thing, hell WTF am I complaining for. I’ve been trying to encourage some people to do beginner triathlons and mini runs. I’m getting pretty tired when I hear people tell me, “Oh I’m too old, my stomach hurts”. etc. Now if my friends told me, “Well man, I weigh 600 pounds”-then I might cut them some slack. The guy below in the vid sure won’t. Quite the inspiration here.Hoy en el medio maratón que corría yo, había uno de sesenta algo señor que tenia algo de hemiparesis. O sea. el lo corría en el medio maratón porque podía. De estar en tales eventos notando que los secos, los medios secos, rellenos, ya hasta los muy rellenon se va competiéndose. He estado tratando de animar mis amigos de hacer triatalons y me dicen cosas como, “ay no puedo, me duele la panza, soy viejo” etc. Que inspiración aquí. |
