Because we all like to get high. We do it almost everyday, and record it on our logs for everyone to know. LSD! "There are some people, who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other." ~Douglas Everett "Athletes come to know that if they were only steadfast, the training effect would have rescued them from the torpor and temporary discomfort. Dropouts have to relearn this every time." “The important thing in life is not victory but combat; it is not to have vanquished but to have fought well.” Pierre de Coubertin (French Educator, primarily responsible for the revival of the Olympic Games in 1894. 1863-1937) "The woods are lovely dark and deep, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep." Robert Frost "The infinite possibilities each day holds should stagger the mind. The sheer number of experiences I could have is uncountable, breathtaking, and I'm sitting here refreshing my inbox. We live trapped in loops, reliving a few days over and over, and we envision only a handful of paths laid out ahead of us. We see the same things each day, we respond the same way, we think the same thoughts, each day a slight variation on the last, every moment smoothly following the gentle curves of societal norms. We act like if we just get through today, tomorrow our dreams will come back to us. ... This is very important, so I want to say it as clearly as i can: Fuck. That. Shit. " "I'm an idealist. I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way." Carl Sandburg "What makes a great endurance athlete is the ability to absorb potential embarrassment, and to suffer without complaint. I was discovering that if it was a matter of gritting my teeth, not caring how it looked, and outlasting everybody else, I won. It didn't seem to matter what sport it was--in a straight-ahead, long-distant race, I could beat anybody. If it was a suffer-fest, I was good at it." - Lance Armstrong, My Journey back to Life
