Now I have to excel at something I really hate doing… waiting. I guess this falls under the things you can’t control category, never the less it’s hard for me to wait and not worry about it.
If nothing else it helps knowing you’re not the first one nor will be the last one to deal with this shit.
I just hate having to wait… period.
I know that the original Battlestar Galactica is starting to show its age but there are way many more reasons why I still love the show. It was one of the few things my dad and I did together when we spent our weekends together. Hand of God and The Living Legend were two of our favorite episodes to watch together.
The Living Legend also introduced Lt. Sheba and Commander Cain. Two of my favorite characters along with Apollo, Boomer and Starbuck
I finally took the plunge and got a Rebel XS as my first DSLR camera. Taking picture of everyone and everything to learn how to do it and to start documenting my life.
I also got my RoR 3rd edition book and started thinking of an application to manage research projects to get my feet wet on this particular version of Rails and then into some more serious development. I’ve also reinstalled my development environment and started relearning some of the crap that has changed over time.
Strength is not about never falling. It’s about falling, getting back up and keep moving forward.
I fell off my bike yesterday almost at the end of my out run… had almost made it to Atherton and the 6.2 miles. I got spooked by a car as I was trying to get to the sidewalk to avoid a double parked car and broke too hard.
The funny thing is that I was angry more than I was in pain. The ride had already been a washout in terms of training and the fall made it even crappier… damn I was pissed. But, as pissed as I was, I still got back on the bike and rode the rest of the planned route and the route back.
I guess the training wasn’t a complete washout yesterday. It reminded me about resilience, about moving forward regardless of what happens. In a race I will not have the benefit of stopping and starting over so I may as well get used to it.

I'm outa luck, outa love
Gotta photograph, picture of
Passion killer, you're too much
You're the only one I wanna touch
I see your face every time I dream
On every page, every magazine
So wild and free, so far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy
Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh oh, look what you've done
Photograph - I don't want your
Photograph - I don't need your
Photograph - All I've got is a photograph
But it's not enough
I'd be your lover, if you were there
Put your hurt on me, if you dare
Such a woman, you got style
You make every man feel like a child, oh
You got some kinda hold on me
You're all wrapped up in mystery
So wild and free, so far from me
You're all I want, my fantasy
Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh oh, look what you've done
Photograph - I don't want your
Photograph - I don't need your
Photograph - All I've got is a photograph
You've gone straight to my head
Oh, look what you've done to this rock 'n' roll clown
Oh Oh, look what you've done
I gotta have you
Photograph - I don't want your
Photograph - I don't need your
Photograph - All I've got is a photograph
I wanna touch you
Photograph
Photograph - Your photograph
Photograph -
Photograph - I need only your
Photograph - I'm outa love
Photograph - I'm outa love
Photograph - You're the only one
Photograph - I wanna touch
I had completely forgot about this song… and this version rocks too
Brain decided to take me on a random, well maybe not so random, search on Youtube instead of letting me sleep. Here are the results.
