Lance Armstrong is Lance Ethicsweak

Today a news headline stated that Lance Armstrong, the professional cyclist, admits to "doping" while riding and he further stated that "Impossible to win" the Tour de France while he was competing.
Riddle me this Batman,  If nobody uses drugs while competing, and the race has a winner, then Lance's statement is just wrong.  If some use drugs but don't win then he is also wrong.
Maybe what he meant to say is that it was impossible for HIM to win it without drugs.  If that is the case, then he should not have won, and it is appropriate that he is stripped of his titles.  He is a simply a cheat.  I guess you could say that he lack the ball(s)  to accept defeat. (I just couldn't resist that)  Unfortunately he is just one person who has been singled out in a culture that values only winning.

There will always be somebody better, faster, stronger, more clever.........So why don't we just enjoy who and what and where we are being the best we can be and not worry over how we rate compared to others, all the while enjoying the achievements of those who go further and faster than ourselves, just as other people can appreciate what we achieve?

Be aware of what really matters.
Play playfully.

riding for fun, freedom & adventure

These kids in this picture below may not have uniforms, helmets, batting gloves, or an aluminum bat, but they have what most kids these days on the little league field are missing, SMILES.

Playing should be just that, play.

What's reasonable

I just pressed send on an email to a friend and I am wondering if it was a reasonable response to his communication.

Sometimes I just get on a piece of mental highway that just stretches to the horizon and I open up the throttle and let it go.

Sometimes I forget that other people don't see with my eyes, some wear glasses or are color blind, or are focused way beyond where I can see.

Sometime I forget that we each hear a different rhythm in our heads and have to dance our own dance, in our own uniquely shaped bodies.

Sometimes I forget these things, and I think I say, or write things that are hard for others to take in.

Sometimes I should just press 'delete' and then write, "have a nice day" instead.

"Have a nice Day"

Rap your head around this!

MY INSPIRATION
A BROTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER EARTH!
(that's his natural color)

THE DeRESPECTO RAP

The universe is perverse, 

it never goes in reverse, 

if it's down on you, break the curse

We all end up in a hearse, 

so,

Live the life you got

sweat when it's hot

chill when it's cold,

be bold,

or, 

soon you'll be to old,

so I am told,

I don't know 

because I'm young at heart

I had it from the start,

Suppose that makes me smart,

no, just lucky

Plucky,

I don't give up

I'll tell you why,

It's true, I'm not afraid to die

Louder,

I'm not afraid to live

Life to the fullest

Love to the end

With hate I'm a duelist

as a friend the truest

A father and a son

the oldest brother,

50 years young

I hope I have another,

50 years,

But if I don't

don't shed no tears

I'm still here,

up in the atmosphere

part of the world that never stops,

in the rivers and hills and all the crops,

that feed all those

who go on living,

I am the gift that keeps on giving

Born from the Sun

just a solar baby,

related to all,

from one family,

trying to make things 

the way they should be

Respect & love

Gratitude, & Compassion

it's what I wear,

the hottest in fashion

wear them with pride,

no need to hide

I laugh at this life

it's just too absurd,

crazier than any of this written word,

harder than any of the spittin' you heard,

That don't make it bad, 

that's just attitude

that don't make it sad,

If you are clued

in,

With out up there's no down

no joy with out pain,

no loss then no gain,

Some people just hate,

that's how it's got to be,

cause nothin' but love 

is comin' from me

So I'm glad that I'll die

cause that means I have lived,

right now the clocks tickin'

cause I have the time,

and you took a lickin'

by reading my rhyme

It's now part of you,

stuck in your head,

think on it at night

while you lie in your bed

What happens tomorrow,

nobody can say,

don't matter how much you pray

or they say

Make your heaven right now,

don't wait, stop the hate

be great, emulate, emancipate,

demonstrate, top rate,

deny fate,

CREATE!

Boston said "Don't Look Back"

But learn from the past
don't live in it,

The mistakes we make

just might be our last

Cause the universe is perverse,

it never goes in reverse


Word to the living!
