I thought I left negativity!

Many years ago I tried to put all the negativity behind me and started to think more positively about things. That is not to say I don’t ever complain about things, nor do I mean I’m not occasionally a negative person, but I rather try and be positive.

I have been able to keep those who are extremely negative out of my life, even while working in Social Media, but that has changed.

Now negativity is infecting a space I once and still somewhat occupy and I’m not sure what to do about it.

The easy solution is to walk away and shut them out, but they maybe more difficult in this public world.

I will express more of my thoughts in a coming blog post and for now, I will continue to be the positive person.

…and offer solutions, rather than pointing out the problems.

I like to talk to myself!

There is a reason I don’t have many “in real life” friends and that reason is because I like to talk to myself.

Yes this morning I decided I wanted to finalize the set up of this audio monstrosity I have sitting on my office desk. So I turned on the Country station and pretended I was a lousy DJ. You have no idea the random joy I get from talking with myself.

In other news read this relevant Onion News article.

Biking Inspiration

This isn’t the biking you normally see a person doing, but I find it so fascinating. It is a lot harder than normal biking and something I have wanted to be able to do for a long time. Basically it is parkour for bikes. The idea is while on your bike you use the objects around you to find different and challenging routes to other places. So using walls, ledges, cliffs, benches, etc.

There is a reason I can’t do this, well actually there is about a 100 reasons I probably can’t do this. 100lbs, I think if I lost 100lbs I would be able to do this type of riding. If you watch the video you’ll see it takes a lot of muscle to pick up the bike and maneuver it through the air, bouncing it off different things.

I use to pretend I could do this, I think I even had a bike that was somewhat built for it, but I’m to much of a big lad. I like this video and I like the style. It isn’t a race, it is slow and thought out. I admire this as I like the technical component of it.

Doesn’t it look like fun?
